Could cancer actually disprove evolution? This fascinating discussion explores how cellular protection systems pose serious challenges to evolutionary theory. Three sophisticated mechanisms guard us against cancer: tumor suppressor genes that trigger cell suicide, proto-oncogenes that control division rates, and error-correcting systems that fix DNA damage.
These complex systems must function perfectly from the start—they can’t evolve gradually. Mutations, supposedly evolution’s driving force, actually destroy rather than create. Dr Don Batten reveals how cancer research unexpectedly undermines the very foundation of evolutionary claims.
