Biophysicist Hubert Yockey determined that natural selection would have to explore 1.40 x 10^70 different genetic codes to discover the optimal universal genetic code that is found in nature. The maximum amount of time available for it to o...riginate is 6.3 x 10^15 seconds. Natural selection would have to evaluate roughly 10^55 codes per second to find the one that is optimal. Put simply, natural selection lacks the time necessary to find the optimal universal genetic code we find in nature. (Fazale Rana, -The Cell's Design - 2008 - page 177)

Neo-Darwinists say that new species emerge when mutations occur and modify an organism.

Creationists are more likely to make this claim. Mutations are a source of variation, but they are not the only source (although they probably are the source of truly novel variations).
