Volvox algae - the favorite child of evolutionists proves that evolution does not happen

Volvox algae - the favorite child of evolutionists proves that evolution does not happen


When evolutionists are asked how multicellularity could have evolved, they quite often use Volvox algae as an example. It is considered a model example of evolution because it represents a type of simple multicellular organism. It is worth investigating a little more closely what the multicellularity of Volvox means and whether it proves that evolution has taken place.

Here's the phylogenetic tree of the Volvox algae:























Pay attention to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a very interesting organism. It is able to switch between being unicellular and multicellular. However, it is not a true multicellular organism because it lacks many mechanisms that a true multicellular organism needs. These are, for example, genes that code for proteins involved in an extracellular matrix (ECM), cell-to-cell communication, cellular differentiation and specialization, cellular cohesion and genes which alter the reproductive cycle. However, 
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is able to efficiently adapt to changing environment and switch between unicellularity and (pseudo)multicellularity. Most commonly, it becomes multicellular when it is threatened by predators. Switching from a  unicellular to a multicellular state does not take long, only a few hundred generations. It's obvious that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has built-in epigenetic mechanisms by which it is able to rapidly adapt to changing conditions and be protected from predators. Switching from unicellularity to multicellularity has nothing to do with random mutations or imaginary selection.

But there's more to come. Next we should focus on Volvox carteri, which is the favorite child for evolution believers. The phylogenetic tree above presents that it has descended from 
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. There are 6 'speciation steps' between these two organisms. Interesting is, that Volvox carteri has lost the ability to switch back to a unicellular state. It has experienced a serious loss of genes due to epigenetic adaptations and speciation. This is not evolution, this proves that genetic entropy is a biological fact. The more adaptation, the more information loss. Evolution has no mechanism.

Summary and conclusions:
  • Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has built-in epigenetic mechanisms by which it is able to switch between unicellular and multicellular modes.
  • Volvox carteri belongs to the same group of organisms (same kind) as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. It has experienced ecological adaptation and variation.
  • Switching between unicellularity and multicellularity doesn't take millions of years, but only weeks or months.
  • Adaptation of Volvox carteri has resulted in loss and corruption of biological information. This is why Volvox carteri has lost the ability to switch back to unicellular state.
  • Volvox algae confirm my previous observations; the more adaptation, the more information loss.
  • Evolution has no mechanism.
