The story of Gregor Mendel is aggravating. It makes you wonder what might have been, had this Austrian monk encountered Charles Darwin, and had his discoveries become known to the disciples (and opponents) of Darwinism early on. Mendel today is widely honored as the Father of Genetics. Using exemplary methods of controlled experimentation, he showed that inheritance was not fluid but rather discrete. Traits were passed on in pairs of fixed alleles; in effect, heredity was not analog, but digital. This put the Darwinians into a tailspin until they found a way in the 1930s to rescue evolution with “neo-Darwinism” which relies on accidental mistakes (mutations) in the genetic code. Creation geneticists prove, however, that the neo-Darwinists hope in vain for natural selection to rescue the theory from genetic entropy. Mendel’s discovery survived the revolution in genetics occasioned by the discovery of the structure of DNA. He is still regarded as an exceptional scientist even though he was a religious man, and his Laws of Genetics have stood the test of time.
