Haldane calculated that no more than 1,667 beneficial substitutions could have occurred in the supposed 10 millions since the last “common ancestor of apes and humans” subscribed to in evolutionary belief.  As biologists have found that single nucleotide substitutions make up the vast majority of substitutions, these 1,667 substitutions could well comprise less than one gene.  Haldane’s Dilemna has not to date been satisfactorily solved for the evolutionary hypothesis.

Haldane is also famous for acknowledging the principle that is now called “irreducible complexity”.  In 1949 he said the evolution could never produce “various mechanisms, such as the wheel and the magnet, which would be fairly useless till fairly perfect.”  By Haldane’s own statement, the discovery of wheel mechanisms - including rotary motors - in microscopic living things has falsified the evolution as a viable hypothesis.  So too the discovery of a magnetic sense in many species likewise falsifies the evolutionary hypothesis
