Claim

The genetic code is too complex to have come to be in one step.

Source

• Anon, 1985. Life--How Did It Get Here? By Evolution or By Creation? Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., p. 46

Responses

1. Since no real scientist has proposed that the genetic code did arise in one step, this argument is against a distorted strawman caricature of evolution, not the actual theory itself.
2. There is no scientifically rigorous meaning for the word "step" in this context, and creationists routinely refuse to define it. Refer to "What is a kind?" What is "too complex" for that matter? What genetic code, for that matter?
