A sponge is the simplest of all multicellular life. Multicellular just means that the life has more than one cell. So sponges are among the simplest life of all of life. A sponge is so simple that is has no mouth, muscles, heart or brain. It cannot move. Most sponges live in water and filter the water for food. Even though they are so simple, there are over 10,000 different species of sponges! Even though a sponge is such a simple life form, it is still so complex that we cannot understand it. There are specific structures that allow it do specific functions. The sizes of the parts are so perfect that it allows the nutrients in and waste to leave. There are four different types of cells and all of these multiple cells have to work in a coordinated way. The level of coordination of even the simplest life form defies our ability to understand it at the DNA level.

Evolutionists have studied the DNA of even this most basic life form but cannot explain what they find. One example of this was published in the journal Bioessays with a report investigating how environmental factors influence life cycles and development of sponges. Here we are told the “detailed molecular logic remain elusive” of the sponge. The words ‘molecular logic’ is talking about the DNA and this is elusive which means it is hard to comprehend or define. Basically, they have absolutely no idea.

The coordination of the sponge is not only for the life of the sponge but amazingly is also coordinated into the life of the environment. The life of coral reefs are dependent on sponges. An example of this was reported in the Public Library of Science article, “Reduced Diversity and High Sponge Abundance on a Sedimented Indo-Pacific Reef System: Implications for Future Changes in Environmental Quality”. Indeed, the health of sponges has been reported to “affect overall reef ecosystem”. The coral reefs which support a vast amount of life on the planet are actually dependent on the health of even the simplest of all multicellular organisms. This is truly amazing. It is all interconnected. Without sponges there is no reef and without the coral reefs we would not have the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. This is an example of what is called “symbiosis” where the health of each is dependent on the health of the other. But we cannot understand the “whole” of the reef without being able to understand the simplest component of the reef, which is also the simplest of all of multicellular life on earth, which is the sponge. If we do not understand the details of the DNA of a sponge by now we will never be able to explain human DNA as a result of evolution.

Understanding the DNA of a sponge is a necessary condition for evolution to be true. However, it is a published fact in peer reviewed scientific journals that the details of the DNA of a sponge is not understood.

You do not need to have more than one cell to soak up the fact that:

If the DNA of a sponge could not develop through evolution, then evolution logically cannot be possible.

THE DNA OF YEAST

Yeast are even simpler than a sponge. The reason yeast are so simple is that they only have one cell. Yes, a single celled life. Yeast are part of our everyday lives. They are used to make beer and wine and also are the reason bread rises. Yeast are the simplest form of all of life which is classified as eukaryotes, which includes all of the plants and animals. Because yeast only have one cell, they are used in all kinds of research. In fact, it is one of the most thoroughly researched microorganisms on earth. Even though they are so simple, there are enough different kinds that they are not even all in one evolutionary group. Yeast are classified in two different taxonomic or phylogenetic groups. These two groups have the highly technical terms Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.

Yeast have been studied so extensively that the entire DNA is known. Yeast have 12 million base pairs, which are the components of DNA. It took 7 years and more than 100 separate laboratories to accomplish this feat of sequencing the entire DNA of yeast. It is amazing that it would take 7 years and 100 labs to study the DNA of this simplest of all eukaryotic life, and what was found is that even yeast have 12 million parts to their DNA, and they only have one cell!

However, knowing what the DNA has is far different than understanding how DNA works and much less than understanding the origin of this DNA. Even with all of this effort evolutionists still cannot explain the intricacies of the DNA of even this simple organism with one cell.

Evolutionists have done extensive research over decades of time and are unable to discover what they are looking for. When they look at the details of the intricacies of life things just get more and more complex. These research articles report they have looked “extensively” and they can only say that it is “elusive”, a “challenging task” and “more complex than expected”. Evolutionists ‘simply’ are not able to explain the genetic basis of even ‘simple’ life like yeast.

The origin of the DNA of yeast is a necessary condition for evolution to be true, but is it unexplained.

Yeast belong to the kingdom fungi. Mycology is the branch of biology that study fungi, but you do not need to be a mycologist to know:

If the DNA of yeast could not develop through evolution, then evolution logically cannot be possible.

FURTHER STUDY

Studies of genetic sequencing in yeast led to the article “Genome-wide profiling of untranslated regions by paired-end ditag sequencing reveals unexpected transcriptome complexity in yeast” which was published in the journal Molecular Genetics and Genomics. It was reported “The identification of structural and functional elements encoded in a genome is a challenging task. Although the transcriptome of budding yeast has been extensively analyzed, the boundaries and untranslated regions of yeast genes remain elusive” and “Our results indicate the yeast transcriptome is more complex than expected.” This is just one example of the overriding theme that evolutionary research at any and all levels has not been able to determine the details of the mechanisms of the DNA of yeast.

It is a published fact in peer reviewed scientific journals that the structure and function coded for in the DNA of yeast, a single celled life, is unknown.
