David Attenborough Witnesses a BIZARRE Pollination Process | Nature Bites

David Attenborough explains how one particular type of orchid uses an extraordinary mechanism to pollinate other plants!
Orchidaceae, commonly called the orchid family, is a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants, with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants
Kingdom of Plants 3D is a natural history documentary series written and presented by David Attenborough, which explores the world of plants. It was filmed over the course of a year at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew.

Agreed. Hopefully 1 million or more! Unless immortality turns him into a tyrannous dark lord, that wouldn't be nice. Stay cool Sir David. Respect.

An amazing feat of evolution. Such complex reproductive reliance must have taken tens of thousands of generations to achieve, if not many more. I wonder how they perform in captivity?

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

What evolution? Bro it's 2023 not 1923 evolution is not a real world process it doesn't exist lol. Mindless matter and mutation can't produce code. Mind is the paradigm of creation in reality, not magic. Evolutionary theory is a mythology of magic, rationality from irrationality. Mind>magic

[@Bunny-ns5ni]

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep I'm sorry to see that you're so under educated on the matter, but of all scientific theories, Evolution is the most scrutinized, yet most evidential scientific theory ever proposed, even more strongly supported than the theory of gravity. There's no mythology or magic in something that is evidence based, for which, evolution has literal mountains of. Every single major institution around the world has come to the exact same conclusion, independent of one another, arriving at the same fact that evolution is a natural occurring and continual process based on the mechanism of selective pressures, whether it be in an ever changing environment, or a stable domestic one. The theory of evolution has become the foundational basis for our modern understanding of biology, and infact, no one put it better than Theodosius Dobzhansky, who I'll quote as saying "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution".

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

@@Bunny-ns5ni Sorry but to put it nicely you haven't the vaguest clue about the state of evolutionary theory in the academic field. It doesn't work, it has countless foundational critical issues, and biologists have been trying to wholly replace the model for awhile now. There was a big conference on it back in 2016. I'll help you out further. Renowned biologist Denis Noble has given the explicit statement and given evidence for it "neo Darwinism doesn't need to be supplemented or extended, it needs to be replaced because it's completely inadequate. Why because scientists are beginning to see levels of complexity way beyond just the complexity of DNA, like epigenetic complexity." Genomes don't improve over time they degrade. Virus data like John Sanford on H1N1 the spanish flu shows this. Human genome from encode has shown every generation humans have 100 mutations. The only nobel laureate in the field Hermann J. Muller said just 1 mutation per generation in humans means there is no evolution explanation humanity is progressing in the opposite direction 1 per generation is deadly, yet we find out the number is 100. The human genome is degrading not progressing to a better state. This shouldn't be a shock, as information theory states information degrades, and information is the basis of life. All the beneficial mutations in biology like the famous citrate metabolism in ecoli or antibiotic resistance are not from gain or improvement in genetic information, but reductive evolution. A degrading or loss of information crippling a function in the organism that produces a beneficial effect while still being a loss of genetic function. As the famous Lenski experiment showed. There is no evolutionary pressure to create building blocks of mechanisms that don't yet exist. Evolution does not have foresight. Mindless matter and mutation can't manifest code. That's rationality from irrationality. That's a reality breaking concept. If you can get such a deus ex machina mechanism that does that it invalidates all human achievement and personhood because then the universe did it all. This is why the multiverse theory is so absurd. This is why all of naturalism is absurd because it's predicated on such a deus ex machina mechanism that does not exist. Darwin's Origin never explains the origin of species -- and this is stated by David Berlinski no less. How does chance determine when to stop at the "desired" outcome? The concept of evolution is nonsense. Could also point out y chromosome adam and mitochondrial eve data shows humans had two ancestors and did not evolve. Shocker the dating is roughly 6000-7500 years just like the biblical genealogy dating going back to Eden, and the dating is quite accurate in a general sense as it's just averaging mutations per generation then counting back to when they stop appearing. The list goes on and on and on. We could go into the Cambrian explosion, we could show random number generator studies for probability, or studies on evolutionary probability of mammals as size increases and so on. Darwinian evolution is a mythology of magic(rationality from irrationality), it's pseudo science and also invokes time of the gaps and god of the gaps along with all the other issues no less.

[@MonteViste]

The theory of evolution is the grandest, most eloquent load of cobblers ever peddled to man. Sir David remarks, "it's difficult to imagine how an evolutionary process could have arrived at such complexity". Well, Sir David, quite obviously it didn't.

[@Bunny-ns5ni]

@@MonteViste would you be willing to join a formal, moderated debate on this very matter? I'll show you all the evidence you'd ever need

[@wiltonpt1]

Time can never produce this complex interaction. It is so easy to see that a power above humankind knowledge created all these things and coordinated these insects and flowers in a dyad that can baffle any thought that this could come by chance but we need an eye to see this . and I know not everyone feels like that. It is easier to deny the fact that there is a Creater. Unless you have a spiritual experience with him . Then everything changes.

[@GreyGooseBurberry]

Spiritual or not it is an obvious fact that this existence is art, this whole experience of life is art and design, and we are living in something that was created by something and/or someone. It’s all design! It’s amazing!

[@ryand3759]

Don’t tell me that’s evolution…only a creator could create that kind of pollination process.

[@mezzmer5561]

I wonder what would happen if such specialised pollinators were to suddenly disappear. Would these plant evolve quick enough to substitute or simply get extinct? It doesn't make much evolutionary sense to only rely on a single insect species for pollination.

[@alessandronoacco3216]

No pollination => no reproduction => no evolution. Evolution doesn’t need to “make sense” the way you are implicating. It is just “as long as it survives and replicates, it’s ok”. To only have one specific pollinator means less pollen loss, as that pollinator will visit only flowers of the same species. It is a strategy employed by plants that are not as abundant as dandelions in a meadow, to maximize reproductive success. Since the pollinator has been alive for millions of years, it works. One day it will go extinct, but every living species will, sooner or later.

[@grokeffer6226]

I'm guessing that they'd quickly go extinct, at least in the wild without humans to pollinate them.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

You are assuming evolution is a real world concept and not just theoretical. It's 2022 and evolutionary theory is still not a functional nor worked out concept just as a reminder. Blows my mind how many people are oblivious to this.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

It is hard to imagine how evilution produced such an extensively designed system and relationship without a mind. It's almost like with our rational logical mind we can grasp random unguided process cannot produce rational, structured outcomes and information itself. Nah naturalism predicated on a non-existant mechanism that can't even exist in the first place has to be correct because that would mean the only other option is the intelligent design model and God needs to be avoided at all costs. Despite the overwhelming evidence of modern science pointing towards it and not naturalism.
