Dr. Mastropaolo believes that an athlete's "...muscle subjected to training may enlarge structurally as well as functionally..." within 24 hours thanks to the arousal of unmanifested muscle proteins from DNA.  He sees this quickly reactive design as universal and the antitheses of evolution.  The following excerpts are taken from his concluding observations as presented in the March, 2001 issue of Creation Research Society Quarterly.

Joseph Mastropaolo, PhD.*

The maximum‑power stimulus aroused the synthesis of new proteins that were not manifestly present in the muscles undergoing alteration. These new proteins were summoned apparently from the genetic morphological reserves in the DNA already present in the individual and did not have to wait for alleged eons of hit‑or‑miss mutations. Often within 24 hours, the new proteins were synthesized with the unerring precision and punctuality expected from intelligent design, not from some blind, mindless, iterative, failure prone, unpredictable, unobservable speculation like "evolution."

Batteries...are not constructed by phantom, chance, physicochemical forces acting selectively and mysteriously on minerals. They do not "evolve."  Engineers do not throw battery enclosures into the ocean or any "primeval soup" or any fossil pit and expect "natural forces" to "evolve" batteries.

...Engineers...designed with mathematical precision the chemical, electrical and structural requirements. They strenuously eliminated chance and any possibility for any random "mutation" to their blue­prints. As electronic engineers, they knew that if a "mutation" takes place in the circuitry of a television set, for example, then degraded audiovisual reception would result, because chance builds nothing and disintegrates everything.

...For those meticulously engineered batteries the performance equations are the same type as those for human muscle. That strongly suggests that the human muscle was meticulously nanoengineered by a designer of unimaginable intelligence using mathematics and creative powers for com­plexities beyond human comprehension.

Billions of observers for thousands of years have witnessed many billions of new individuals arise only from reproduction and never from "evolution." Billions of observers for thousands of years have witnessed many billions of new individuals expressing latent genetic morphological reserves cyclically, as in the fur color changes of the arctic fox, or sequentially, as in the growth and development of flora and fauna, or by arousal, as with muscle hy­pertrophy, with never a sign of any "evolution."

The fanciful manipulation of those expressions of latent genetic morphological reserves by alleging untold generations to change what obviously occurs countless times in each individual's lifetime, in order to conjure a mythical "evolution," is crass superstitious propaganda, not science.

To mandate monopolistic, monolithic, "evolution education," as California public schools presently do, is to dictatorially protect what is scientifically indefensible. To require students to learn that "evolution" had any role whatsoever in the origin of life or in the structural modifications aroused from latent genetic morphological reserves, is to indoctrinate with occult propaganda, which is irresponsible anti‑science.¹

"Evolution" and the "origin of life by chance" are "impossible in probability in the same way that a perpetual motion machine is impossible in probability."²  The reasonable conclusion from science is that muscle and all other living tissues were designed.

..."Evolution" is the central most disorganizing, anti-intellectual, anti‑science principle that biologists have ever been dictatorially forced to learn to understand the world. In the opinion of this author, it stands as the greatest scandal in science of the last 140 years.
