7 Scientific Reasons why Darwinian Evolution is a Myth

Darwin didn't even discuss primordial soup in his research, so that makes this guy's comments on this video seem like lies, or at least deceptive. Most of what the video says is unsupported or disputed by the science - but I'll bet you've never even looked at the science, but instead believed what you've been told? Then read up on evolution before making uneducated comments. EVERY single fossil is actually a transitional fossil if it has a difference from the previous example, but the differences from one generation to the next may even be imperceptible, and difficult to see in a fossil. Depends on lots of factors.

Peltdown Man refers to a set of fossils found near Piltdown, England, in 1912, which were initially thought to be the remains of a previously unknown early human. These remains, which included a skull and jawbone, were purported to bridge the gap between apes and humans, causing significant excitement and reevaluation in the scientific community regarding human evolution. However, by 1953, the fossils were exposed as a fraud through chemical analyses and other tests. It was revealed that the bones were a combination of human and orangutan parts, artificially aged and manipulated to appear ancient. The identity of the perpetrator of the Piltdown hoax has never been definitively established, though various individuals associated with the discovery have been suspected. The incident is one of the most infamous scientific frauds in history and serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of rigorous scientific methods and peer review.

1. Darwin's Statements About Speculation Dr. Fasoli uses Darwin's own words to suggest that Darwin considered his theory speculative and flawed. However, while Darwin did acknowledge gaps in his theory, it is critical to recognize that he laid the groundwork for evolutionary biology, which has evolved and strengthened significantly since his time. Counterpoint: Darwin’s awareness of the gaps in his theory was not an admission of its failure, but rather a sign of scientific humility and an acknowledgment that more research was needed. Over time, modern evolutionary theory has integrated advances in genetics, molecular biology, and paleontology, addressing many of the issues that Darwin couldn't have foreseen. 2. Lack of Observed Macro-Evolution Dr. Fasoli argues that macro-evolution, or large-scale evolution, has not been observed in the laboratory and points to experiments involving E. coli and fruit flies that failed to produce new species. Counterpoint: Evolutionary processes often operate over long timescales that are difficult to replicate in a laboratory environment. However, speciation has been observed in both natural and experimental settings. For example, research on Darwin's finches in the Galápagos Islands has documented observable evolution in beak size and shape in response to environmental changes. In laboratory settings, experiments with bacteria and fruit flies have shown genetic changes that could lead to speciation given enough time. 3. The Fossil Record and Transitional Forms Fasoli claims that the fossil record doesn’t contain transitional forms, citing Darwin’s own concerns about the lack of intermediate fossils. However, modern paleontologists have found many examples of transitional fossils. Counterpoint: The fossil record is far from complete, but many transitional fossils have been discovered. Tiktaalik (fish to tetrapod), Archaeopteryx (dinosaur to bird), and various early hominids (such as Australopithecus) are just a few examples. These fossils demonstrate evolutionary transitions between major groups of organisms. The fact that not every possible transitional form is preserved does not negate the overwhelming evidence that evolution occurs. 4. Origin of Life and Abiogenesis Dr. Fasoli critiques the inability to recreate life from simple chemicals in the lab, using this to argue against the possibility of evolution. He points to the work of James Tour and other scientists who argue that the formation of life from non-life (abiogenesis) is highly improbable. Counterpoint: Abiogenesis and evolution are distinct processes. Evolution explains how life diversifies once it has begun, but abiogenesis is about how life originated. While we do not yet have a complete understanding of how life began, numerous experiments (such as the famous Miller-Urey experiment) have shown that complex organic molecules, like amino acids, can form under conditions similar to those on early Earth. The origin of life remains a subject of active research, but the inability to replicate it in a lab doesn’t disprove the theory of evolution. 5. The Second Law of Thermodynamics Fasoli argues that the second law of thermodynamics, which suggests that systems tend toward disorder, contradicts the idea that life can evolve to greater complexity. Counterpoint: The second law of thermodynamics applies to closed systems, and Earth is an open system. Energy from the sun drives processes on Earth, enabling the increase in complexity that we observe in biological systems. Evolution is a process that allows organisms to adapt and increase in complexity through natural selection, and it doesn't violate the second law when the Earth's open system and energy flows are taken into account. 6. Natural Selection and Mutation Dr. Fasoli claims that the mechanisms of natural selection and mutation don’t work, citing laboratory experiments that show no significant evolutionary change in organisms like bacteria and fruit flies. Counterpoint: Mutations and natural selection are key mechanisms driving evolution. While mutations can be neutral, harmful, or beneficial, those that offer a survival advantage tend to become more common in a population over time. The classic example of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a clear demonstration of evolution in action. In nature, natural selection acts on variations, and over many generations, this leads to the adaptation of populations. 7. Fossil Record and Stability Fasoli argues that the lack of transitional fossils means that evolution is not supported by evidence, suggesting that species remain stable over time. Counterpoint: Fossil evidence does show transitional forms, but it is true that many species do remain relatively stable over time. This is expected in evolution, as not all species undergo drastic changes. Evolution is a gradual process that occurs at different rates depending on environmental pressures. Some species experience long periods of stasis, while others undergo rapid changes (punctuated equilibrium, for example, describes this phenomenon). Conclusion: Dr. Fasoli’s arguments rely on selective interpretations of scientific research and misunderstandings of core scientific principles. Evolution, as a scientific theory, is supported by a vast body of evidence from genetics, paleontology, comparative anatomy, and more. While some aspects of evolutionary theory, such as the origin of life, remain unresolved, the process of evolution itself is well-supported and continuously refined by ongoing research.

[@hammalammadingdong6244]

Evidence for evolution comes from various fields of biology and geology, providing a comprehensive and well-supported understanding of how species change over time. Here are some key pieces of evidence: 1. Fossil Record Transitional Fossils: Fossils that show intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants. Examples include the transition from fish to amphibians (Tiktaalik), reptiles to birds (Archaeopteryx), and land mammals to whales (Ambulocetus). Stratigraphy: Fossils found in different geological layers demonstrate a timeline of gradual change, with simpler organisms found in older layers and more complex ones in newer layers. 2. Comparative Anatomy Homologous Structures: Body parts that are similar in structure but may serve different functions in different species, indicating a common ancestor. For example, the forelimbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats. Vestigial Structures: Body parts that have lost their original function through evolution. Examples include the human appendix, the pelvis in whales, and the wings of flightless birds like ostriches. 3. Comparative Embryology Embryonic Development: Similarities in the early stages of development in different species suggest a common ancestry. For instance, vertebrate embryos exhibit pharyngeal pouches (which develop into gills in fish and parts of the ear and throat in mammals). 4. Molecular Biology DNA and Protein Similarities: The genetic code is universal among all living organisms, and closely related species have more similar DNA sequences. Comparisons of specific genes (like the cytochrome c gene) and proteins (like hemoglobin) show degrees of relatedness. Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs): These are viral sequences that have become part of the genome. Shared ERVs in the same genomic locations among different species indicate common ancestry. 5. Biogeography Geographic Distribution: The distribution of species around the world reflects their evolutionary history. For example, the unique species found on islands (like the finches of the Galápagos Islands) demonstrate adaptive radiation from a common ancestor. Plate Tectonics: The movement of continents explains the historical distribution of species. Fossils of the same species found on different continents support the idea that these continents were once connected. 6. Direct Observation Microevolution: Changes within a species can be directly observed. Examples include the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, pesticide resistance in insects, and changes in the beak sizes of finches documented by Peter and Rosemary Grant in the Galápagos Islands. Speciation Events: New species have been observed forming in real-time, such as the apple maggot fly, which shifted from hawthorn trees to apple trees, leading to reproductive isolation and the beginnings of speciation. 7. Experimental Evidence Artificial Selection: Selective breeding in plants and animals demonstrates how selection can lead to significant changes over relatively short periods. Dogs, for example, have been bred for various traits resulting in a wide variety of breeds from a common ancestor. These lines of evidence collectively support the theory of evolution, demonstrating how species have adapted and changed over time through natural processes.

The aim of the people in these kinds of videos is to stay at that level where biological evolution is concerned and disregard the many layers of new knowledege and insight we gained through 160 years of multiple disciplines of science that all confirms the Theory of Evolution.

[@Pangie12]

The bacteria lost abilities it had before. That’s how it became “resistant.” So, yes, this man speaking is making sense and this is a good example of demonstrating the opposite of evolutionary theory. They found that: 1. Bacteria that had a damaged control system for the cell membrane were surviving because that control system was producing LPS (lipopolysaccharide) which are negatively charged molecules. The antibiotic had positive charges and therefore since the negative charge on the cell membrane was now gone it wouldn’t bind to the cell anymore. However, this was a result of a broken existing function. And this would affect the bacteria because it cannot bind to other positive charges either now. And therefore cannot survive as well when the antibiotic is gone and the bacteria then has need to bind to positively charged molecules. 2. In bacteria there are “pumps” that transport nutrients into the bacteria cell. Bacteria that had a damaged pump or didn’t have any pumps were the ones surviving the antibiotic. Obviously when the antibiotic is gone though, the bacteria now is not living as long. And it’s another decrease in function. 3. Some bacteria already have the ability to create enzymes that break down antibiotics. Similar to the concept of two humans sharing DNA (a child formed)-one bacteria can share DNA with another bacteria. So they both can produce enzymes that break down antibiotics. The key point here is that for evolutionary theory to be true, we’re not talking about an existing organism sharing with another organism. What we’re talking about is one organism ON ITS OWN generating the ability to do more functions than before. This sharing between existing DNA is not evolution. At least, not what people mean when they use the word evolution. I can tell you that creationists do agree that there is the ability for organisms to be damaged and for organisms to share DNA. What we don’t agree with is that there’s any observation of organisms turning into a completely different system. You have to account for we’re talking about supposedly a scenario where there are NO other organisms. That’s what evolutionary theory is about. No other advanced organisms. Nothing to share with. And basically all we observe is organisms having copying errors-which that is the literal definition of mutations. That’s it. And again you can’t include sharing because we’re talking about NO OTHER organisms. The first organism. How does copying errors equal most advanced computer systems ever? Plus, there does seem to be a limit in the current sharing between organisms. In every observation we have ever had (so far) in science from the molecular level up there does seem to be limits on what is shared. Creationists, we acknowledge both that errors are resulting mainly in losses and also that sharing is within limits. Which these acknowledgments are purely accurately reporting what has been observed. Humans share DNA with other humans. Etc. This is even true at the molecular level. There are rules. There are limits. I work in data analytics for healthcare. I also have a background in Radiology.

[@Pangie12]

Basically to simplify this-something has to organize (and generate) everything in the cell. And for the molecules to man it can’t be sharing, it can’t be already complex, it can’t be through losing function. But, everything we have observed in science is one of those categories. Which none of those are evolution. Not molecules to man which is what people mean when they say evolution. Creationists do not deny ANY scientific observation. We deny what hasn’t ever been observed.

The problem is not only the inexplicable information gain by "random, unguided processes" (ie magic). To me, something which neo Darwinians never seem to take into account is that every transitional form (say between a yak and a whale, as I believe the story goes) is non adaptive! So, you start off with a perfectly happy and well-adapted yak, pining for the fjords in Norway. Then, in a moment of inspiration, he thinks that he would really love to swim and so comes up with the idea of becoming a whale. The problem, as David Berlinski points out, is that you need roughly 50 000 changes of one sort or another to do so. So, at stage one (as a yak) you are adapted to pining for the fjords and at stage 50 000 (as a whale) you are, similarly, adapted to pining for the fjords, from the ocean. The difficulty becomes one whereat at steps 2 to 49 999 you become increasingly maladapted to either environment or either body. And at the intermediate stage, step 25 000 would be utterly, catastrophically maladapted. And time would only make this worse. as the maladaptive stages would last increasingly longer. For this to be viable, the changes would have to be instantaneous to the point of being magical, as no other word could describe it. So yeah, evolution is, in fact, rooted in magical thinking.

[@pinklemon-m5v]

In your scenario there is a point A, the yak, and a point B, a whale. That isnt how anyone claims evolution works. Instead, you would have a single group. Part of the group lives by the water, the other part lives in the mountains. But what it takes to be successful near water and in the mountains is not the same, so they will each adapt to their environment independently from each other.

[@davidwilliamdanielthomas9305]

@@pinklemon-m5v But that isn't at all what Darwinian macro evolution states. In fact, the theory of whale evolution starts with a wolf-like mammal that loses its land adaptivity and "gradually, over time" becomes adapted to life in the water. This is in the text books, but I think a yak is more fun...given that it is all make believe. In Darwinian evolution. all boundaries are permeable, yet, in reality, we never see that when, in fact, we should see it all the time. We see no transitional fossils as they would be maladaptive and the incipient information gain of positive mutations is impossible to explain under Darwinian terms.

[@richardmetzler7909]

Is there a specific reason why you chose a yak as a starting point for evolving into a whale, rather than something more plausible, such as a hippo (or a capybara, or a beaver, or any other semiaquatic species of mammal)? They spend part of their time on land and a large part in the water, and they are not "catastrophically maladapted" for either. In principle, what keeps them from adapting to an even more aquatic existence? At some point they might become much better swimmers, but more awkward on land (like sea elephants), and eventually very good swimmers who don't go on land at all anymore (like manatees and whales). (Likewise, when someone trots out the "what good is half a wing?", I recommend they look up flying squirrels and sugar gliders.)

The Second Law of Thermodynamics applies to closed systems and states that the entropy (or disorder) of an isolated system can only increase over time. However, Earth is not a closed system as it continually receives energy from the Sun. This external energy input can drive processes that result in increased order or complexity, such as the evolution of life. For instance, a mutation that allows one cell to stick to other cells could indeed enable the development of a larger and more complex life form. This process does not violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics because the energy required for the mutation and the subsequent growth and development of the organism can come from the Sun or other external sources. So, the claim that evolution violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics is based on a misunderstanding of the law itself and its applicability to open systems like Earth. The increase in complexity observed in evolution does not contradict the Second Law of Thermodynamics when correctly understood in the context of an open system receiving energy from an external source.

[@AMC2283]

@@AMC2283 That’s a succinct and accurate description! Thermodynamics is indeed the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy. It studies how energy is transferred in the form of heat and work, and how it affects the properties of substances. On the other hand, evolution is a process that results in hereditary changes in a population spread over many generations. It’s the key mechanism that drives the diversity of life we see on Earth. Both are fundamental concepts in their respective fields of study.

The second law of thermodynamics applies to closed and open systems. A “closed system” simply implies that there is no mass transfer, therefore it’s a constant mass system. Earth is technically a closed system since the mass flow in and out of Earth’s orbit (i.e. space debris and asteroids landing on earth) is negligible. I believe you meant to say that Earth is not an isolated system since it has heat interactions with the sun, just wanted to clarify.

I get all that. But when I compare evolution to the type science that is accepted by everyone, I don’t see the same level of completeness or consistency. We really don’t know how the cell accomplishes the observations we make. We do know all species share at least some common DNA, some much more than others. It is clear that organisms can adopt to their environment in extremely favorable ways. We know there is a clear historical order in complexity and function throughout the fossil record. We know life began about 3.7 billion years ago. We can describe the functions of certain cellular components such as DNA, RNA, ribosomes and mitochondria. We can even modify DNA in prokaryotic organisms. Although evolution clearly plays a role in the changes we observe across all different forms of life, it is still an incomplete theory and needs more investigation at the molecular level before we can say it is a theory of life in general. That’s not an unreasonable position. However, there are aspects of evolutionary theory that obviously meet the definition of science, such as natural selection. But I don’t think all the claims of evolution are consistent with one another, principally because they address different things. For example, how life began is a different question than how life evolves, which a different question than how cellular proteins function to produce phenotypical plasticity. Evolution is not of the same category of science such as conclusions such as Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. I think we must remember that theories can never be proven as scientific fact. We don’t call it the law of evolution because there is still too much to figure out. I think people agree on much more than this silly debate suggests. If the “young earth crowd didn’t exist”, we would be having a totally different discussion. The fear that somehow science will be replaced by religion is absurd. By the way, I had to look up what Chick Tracts are and I can see it’s not but a typical ad hominem dig so I won’t provide any validation for that line of argument. It speaks for itself. As far as the local CC suggestion, another gutter ball. I don’t think that would work very well as I have an undergraduate degree at a United States top 20 university. I also have a doctoral degree and an MBA. The undergraduate and doctoral degrees are in a field of science that deals with human physiology and cellular biology. I have taught doctoral students as well. None of my credentials are relevant to the content of my comments but they do suggest a CC course would not be very informative.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy (a measure of disorder) of an isolated system can never decrease over time. However, it's crucial to understand that: The second law applies to isolated systems: Earth is not an isolated system. It receives a constant input of energy from the Sun. This energy influx allows for local decreases in entropy and the emergence of more complex and ordered structures, like living organisms. Entropy can decrease locally: While the overall entropy of the universe increases, localized pockets can experience a decrease in entropy as long as there is an external energy source driving it. This is what happens in living organisms, where energy from the Sun (through photosynthesis) or from food is used to build and maintain complex structures. Evolution is not a violation of the second law: The emergence of more complex organisms over time does not contradict the second law of thermodynamics. The increase in order within organisms is offset by an increase in disorder elsewhere in the system. For example, organisms release heat and waste products, which increase the entropy of their surroundings. In summary: The second law of thermodynamics holds true for isolated systems. Earth is not an isolated system, it receives energy from the Sun. Local decreases in entropy can occur with an external energy source. Evolution does not violate the second law because the increase in order within organisms is balanced by an increase in disorder in their surroundings. The theory of evolution remains a well-supported scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth. Therefore, the second law of thermodynamics does not disprove the theory of evolution. AI

Fifth point: genetic mutations can only be neutral or degrade. This is not true. Many mutations will do this but simplistically but why does it have to be all? Take a gene for size. Let's say the number of copies of the gene determines size. A mistake in the copying that inserts another copy of the gene for size would mean that that organism and its descendants would be bigger, assuming it is beneficial and they go on to reproduce. Also sometimes even single mutations of genetic letters can be beneficial. There are plenty of diseases that can be traced back to a single letter mutation. Those can be in either direction. It's simplistic to saying that copying and mutations always degrade like a bad photocopy machine. The way life works is more like a laser printer. You get an almost perfect copy each time. You have to look at the mechanisms and how they work to see if that it true.

The problem is the almost nil statistical possibility of advantageous mutations that would lead to trasmutation of species.

With primates we have the strange looking, small, very large-eyed, nocturnal bush babies to large baboons to human weight chimpanzees and orangutans to the heavy gorilla.

It is only kept viable by a dogmatic system that abhors the idea of God and will seek to explain him away using any means. Mutations are a destructive process, evolutionists use its silly premise to have you believe it can take a monkey to a man, when in reality it causes species extinction over the long term, the very opposite of slow incremental ever increasing complex organisms. The proof of this is the number of increases in cancers, allergies, defective organs, etc, this is happening to all living organisms in line with mans fall. We are devolving and genetics are being corrupted every generation. Like many, you have been taught a worldview that was built on presuppositions, assumptions, circular reasoning, lies, fraudulent evidence, and a God hating biased belief. Science should follow the evidence but secular science does not, it ignores or dismisses evidence that refutes its position and continues to publish lies and frauds in literature even though much evidence has been disproven. The only way to disprove a truth, in this case God and creation, is to resort to lies, fraud, and fabrication, ask yourself if evolution is true, why is its history littered with fakes and lies.

Are abiogenesis and evolutionary biology the same thing? Abiogenesis is the theory of how life could develop from non-living materials. Evolution is the theory of how existing life could develop into different life forms. Two completely different fields of study Abiogenesis and evolutionary biology are two different fields of study, each addressing different questions. Abiogenesis is concerned with the origin of life, specifically how life could have developed from non-living materials. It involves studying the conditions on early Earth and the chemical processes that might have led to the formation of the first living cells. On the other hand, evolutionary biology is the study of how existing life has diversified and adapted over time. It starts from the premise that life already exists, and then seeks to understand how species evolve, adapt, and become extinct. While these fields are distinct, they are related in that they both seek to understand the history of life on Earth.

We know that 99% of all creatures ever living on the earth have perished. What is going to be the new term for what life is? We know the simplest cell of a yeast cell is made of lipids, carbohydrates (sugars) nucleic acids (RNA & DNA) and 19 amino acids of one sort and (1) one of another. All of these components make up a cell. The lipids are the membranes and the outer membrane of a cell has ten to 78 billion possible combinations, that is 10 with 78 billion zeroes behind it. Here is the clincher: only one combination will work. The carbohydrates on the outer membrane of the cell are more complex than the DNA and the RNA combined. Boys and girls, what I am saying is that for the simplest cell to have all the components come together at the right time and temperature in a symbiotic pond in the murky past seems to be what you say evolution is turning out to be: impossible...

The secular worldview is built on assumption, presupposition, circular reasoning, lies, fraudulent evidence, wishful thinking and imagination.

It is also needed to explain how a simple protein folding by chance yields a probability with a value exceeding all the estimated molecules in the entire cosmos. It is science that is closed minded and requires constant cooking of the books to maintain its dogmatic grip on a biased worldview. They need to change the age of the universe now to align with observations from JWT, despite the fact the current age of the universe has been taught as fact for decades. When observations don't line up with a theory the theory should be abandoned but not when a long held paradigm has been implemented into society itself and allows the pursuit of personal pleasures and the love of sin because many have been convinced there is no meaning to life, its all an accident, there is no purpose, and all that matters is materialism and your own desires. The cosmological model is missing 98% of what should be observable, no worries, just invent something that has never been observed and call it dark matter and dark energy, it is not detectable but we know its there, trust us. You talk about things being ignored, how about ignoring even a simple protein folding by chance is absolutely mathematically impossible. How about the source of complexity and information is always a mind and this has never ever been disproven. How about DNA is the most sophisticated information ever discovered, is the most compact data storage system ever found, its 3D folding mechanism to produce new information is so unfathomably complex it cannot be replicated using supercomputers but despite all of this the dogmatic worldview must be upheld at all costs because the reality of a creator is so abominable it must be avoided at all costs. Science knows a lot less than you think, a single human cell has baffled scientists from all over the world for over 70 years, they are further back in understanding its complexity than when scrutiny of it began. It is literally a nano New York City in complexity and rivals anything mankind has devised by orders of magnitude, yet it created itself for no reason or purpose so God can be averted as an explanation for its existence. Run this over in your mind, the human body generates more processes per second than every computer on Earth combined and does so using a meagre 20 watts of electricity and according to Evolution it required no intelligent design.

What about evolution having to be based on abiogenesis and abiogenesis has the probability of 1 protein occurring int the most favorable conditions in 10^164…. And adaptation doesn’t prove the overall evolutionary theory… outside of literal ‘change over time’ there is no evidence of anything changing from say a reptile to a bird or an ape to a human. And when you say ‘ oh but we have these bones and they showed us what it looked like’. I’ve seen them and when reintroduced into textbooks they are terribly misleading. If anything, all of the missing links are just all a bunch of old monkeys… and you can’t make assumptions based on one tooth, or one toe… well actually a toe would be pretty telling, but they usually try to sell a small tiny bone as an entire entity and say Evolution here! when in reality, they have no clue. Also they can’t answer the gaps in the fossil record… and I just had a discussion with someone and didn’t even bring that up yet… I’m sorry there’s just so much math and evidence against what you think evolution covers, anyone that has gone through the research has already concluded it’s a fallacy .

@@TailicaiCorporation«the most favorable conditions in 10^164« how you calculate that number? «adaptation doesn’t prove the overall evolutionary theory« adaptation leads to evolution. «there is no evidence of anything changing from say a reptile to a bird or an ape to a human» evolution is not a , lets say, dog give birth to a non-dog. evolution is not pokemon. evolution is a gradual process. .«missing links» how do you know they are «old monkeys«? because they look like them? one tooth or one foot can tell us a lot information about the animal. i suggest you to look how the scientists work. «Also they can’t answer the gaps in the fossil record« yes there are gaps . fossilizition is a rare and the conditions required for the preservation of organisms are not always present. As a result, many transitional forms or "missing links" may not have been preserved as fossils. beside the fossil record, scientists also rely on other lines of evidence to study and understand evolution. These include comparative anatomy, embryology, molecular genetics, and biogeography, among others. By examining patterns of similarities and differences in these areas, scientists can reconstruct evolutionary relationships and fill in some of the gaps left by the fossil record. I’m sorry , you dont understand how the scientist works so i suggest you to read the studies that you say doesnt make sense. Scientific theories are not based on personal beliefs or opinions; they are built on rigorous research, empirical evidence, and peer-reviewed studies.

The concept of evolution solely involves the reduction of genetic material. Attempting to enhance the complexity of a set of rocks, even with a significant quantity, will not yield any positive outcomes. While it may be possible to extract valuable minerals from these rocks, this process inevitably leads to their destruction. Therefore, it is not feasible for anything superior to the original rocks to emerge through evolutionary processes. Please consider whether you are merely repeating information you have heard, or if you possess firsthand knowledge that enables you to provide a credible account. For many of you, it will be the former. ❤

[@Andris88q]

I don't think this guy really understands the 2nd law of thermodinamics. What he's ignoring is that this law is applied for closed systems, but the evolutionary process is not a closed system. "but the bottom line is you cannot get order and complexity from disorder, no matter how many billions of years you're waiting" Yes, that is the statement "entropy never decreases" of the 2nd law of thermodinamics. But, then according to this reasoning, a refrigerator should not work either, as entropy decreases there (making cold to break the thermal equilibrium), which is not permitted by 2nd law of thermodinamics. What he forgets is that a refrigerator or living beings (in case of evolution) are not closed systems: they're getting the necessary energy from somewhere: from a power-grid, from the sun, from food, etc. The entropy of that refrigerator, and the entropy of living beings are decreasing, but the entropy of the whole system, is still increasing more (!), because the same or more energy needs to be consumed to make those changes (cooling down, growing, reproducing)! The total entropy overall does increase, with the fact that the entropy of those parts/components decrease in lesser extent, the 2nd law of thermodinamics is just fine with evolution.

Another thought on the pace of theoretical evolutionary change. If Darwin proposed that these changes would take millions of years, this does not fit global cycles of ice ages in the thousands of years. For example, an organism during a warm period begins its million year march to adapting to warm weather only to be completely ill adapted to the ice age that arrives 5,000 years later.
