Gunter Bechly Explains What The Fossil Evidence Really Says

I'm always fascinated by scientists who have grown up believing in evolution and then change their mind. Atheists are quick to dismiss objecters to the theory as biased religionists - but these guys obviously aren't dismissing evolution "because I was told so at church and never bothered to think about it." The evidence is convincing them.

[@johncastino2730]

Exactly correct Drew.

[@FrainBart_main]

Maybe dr. Bechly was convinced that biological evolution is false by the facts of nature. This doesn't mean that his interpretation of the facts was not influenced by his biases. He clearly misrepresented scientific research in this interview. Either he doesn't understand the research as well as he should or he is deliberately misrepresenting scientific research to fit his creationist narrative.

[@fwcolb]

Not what this scientist is saying. He is saying that the absence of evidence is convincing him that a divine (Creator) being is intervening in evolution.

[@karlnorgaard6077]

I too grew up in the Christian church. Our church didn't spend enough time on these "apologetics" topics. But my father filled in the spaces for me enough to suffice till later in life. It was while working in the oil and gas industry that I became interested in geology and ultimately earth age thoughts. I knew I was to believe the biblical timeline, but had not been properly prepared. It was my older brother who got me to read the King James Version, and everything started falling into place for me. I certainly don't have all the answers, but I at least now have a real belief in God's word, especially Genesis. The flood explains so much that scientists ignore. It's funny sometimes listening to people talk about how it took so many millions of years for one critter to become another critter. Our domestic dogs are evidence that in a few hundred years with man's un-natural selection, we can arrive at great Danes or chihuahuas.

[@PrivateSi]

He's not a proper scientist if he's concluding Intelligent Design.. Attacking Darwin the way he does is cynical, wrong and nasty.. Total straw man.. Every vaguely with it science type knows Darwin got the ball rolling, and that Natural Selection plays the major role in evolution most of the time.. We now know evolution can happen faster under pressure and in a more modular form with large sections of DNA merging from an external source (virus, bacteria).. Can infect a sperm for instance. -- We have fossil virus DNA due to this. Genetic Engineering, forward and reverse is a young and dangerous science, but it's showing enough new evolution mechanism to further fill gaps and rule out ID... ID also has the burden of proof on them, and this guy didn't get close to proving his shallow, easy straw man case... All these cynical failed scientists that swap sides for easy money are just preaching to the converted. Sad. Money and Fame-Lust cause people to sell their souls and often lose their mind.

His ID speculation is a leap of faith (real or portrayed) if he actually believes it to definitely be true.. There is too much we don't know to jump some intelligent designers. Life on Earth is one giant LEARNING and INFO STORAGE SYSTEM.. Genetics is more modular than first thought. Viruses can infect sperm and leave fossil DNA.. Viruses and cancers can merge parts of their DNA code with the host's.. It's not just inheritance, small errors and natural (etc.) selection.

DNA is the MOST SOPHISTICATED and COMPLEX and VOLUMINOUS code ever assembled. DNA CODE is 8 TIMES the complexity of MANMADE Code. Manmade code exists in a SIMPLE 1x2=2 binary 2D linear format. DNA CODE is in a 4x4=16 DOUBLE HELIX structure that is READ IN BOTH... OPPOSITE ...DIRECTIONS!!! Imagine our programmers at Microsoft writing a program that the machine reads forward and backwards. That means every single bit combination means one thing when read... and then something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT when reversed....but both are needed for functionality!!! It's like reading the massive book War and Peace BACKWARDS to get another FULLY RELEVANT STORY! That:is a level of genius we CAN'T COMPREHEND!!! We just discovered that DNA CODE can be read BOTH WAYS which presents an unfathomable amount of complexity to DNA CODE that no manmade code can get close to. The structure of this Hypercomplex CODE is arranged in a far more SOPHISTICATED 3 dimensional format. Microsoft Windows code doesn't run on "ACCIDENTALLY" made MACHINERY that the instructions for building the machinery are IN THE CODE ITSELF! DNA CODE does!!!! DNA CODE is not only the MAIN software BUT ALSO THE BLUEPRINT for building itself...but not just itself...ENTIRE multicellular organisms...plural!!! DNA CODE is longer than ALL manmade code COMBINED! It is the most SOPHISTICATED code ever seen. Bill gates says: “DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.” THAT quote is from the GREATEST MOST SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMMER IN HISTORY. He gets it...but the silly atheists and naturalists who are too BIASED to see the OBVIOUS connection simply IGNORE the OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE. NONTHINKERS that BELIEVE in ABIOGENESIS just PRETEND like children that the EVIDENCE is on their side while IGNORING the very same EVIDENCE!!! Hilarious!!! No...the tooth fairy isn't real! No ABIOGENESIS isn't real!!! Yale Computer Scientist and mathematician Dr. David Galernter FINALLY got it after realizing that the FAITH required to BELIEVE in ABIOGENESIS is FAR TOO GREAT A LEAP!!! World renown Dr. James Tour is an American nonotechnologist and Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering and Computer Science at Rice University has figured out that ABIOGENESIS never happened...notice....yet another COMPUTER SCIENTIST is able to UNDERSTAND THE FACTS. Meanwhile...NONTHINKERS insist it is possible because of an emotional neediness for a Godless universe...no by observational evidence!

Having read "Origins" at a very young age I was totally convinced by its import. While never an atheist, due to attending parochial schools, I questioned the legitimacy of Christianity as a result. It wasn't until college and taking an anthropology class as an elective, that it dawned on me that Darwinism made absolutely no sense, a literal sudden revelation. I am now convinced the darwinian mechanism is nothing more than materialistic desperation. The more we learn about the cell, it's near inhuman complexity, only increases the impossibility of any naturalistic mechanism to have produced it. Which then places Darwinism in the psuedo-science fiction category. There is so much about nature which contradicts darwinism. From metamorphosis, to Dragonfly aerodynamics, to bats, to conscious agents able to contemplate their own existence and relationship with God. The objective of inquiry into "being" and "existence" is to establish "truth" wherever that may lead. God, in His Wisdom, actualized an intelligible world, and placed His signature on the canvas. Thank you for this excellent confirmation and affirmation. God Bless.

You'd not see anything. You can't reason with a flat earther, you can't reason with an evolutionist. Either these people deliver themselves out of their delusion, or they die firmly affixed to it. Evolution explains everything, which some intelligent people have pointed out, means that it explains nothing. (I know; that's anti-intuitive.) I'll try to explain with an example. Let's say you have a suspect, Mrs X, who you believe murdered her husband. However, your explanation shows not only that she murdered her husband, but also that she _did not._ Obviously, your explanation is worthless, because it explains absolutely all circumstances, including the highly unlikely, even the impossible. Evolution is like that. If a creature has teeth - evolution! If a creature does not have teeth - evolution! Thus, the model is unpredictive and even worse, unfalsifiable. Popper showed that an unfalsifiable theory is a poor candidate for being good science.

My experience as an outsider to these observations. My elder sister worked at the University at Berkley in California.She worked doing DNA research. Her 'boss' held some sort of doctorate in DNA related science.They discovered something that completely trashed Darwins' theory's. (Look up the meaning of theory.) He applied and was given a Nobel award for fact proven conclusions. Did university sciences grab this up? No. My sister retired in frustration. Apparently, massive amounts of donated money across the planet was based on Darwin theoretical claims. And the last thing you want to do is prove to your financial base that you got it all wrong. So they completely ignored this huge discovery. My sister retired because she had not realized her university colleagues were actually not scientists. She became quite bitter over the whole life destroying realization. She died totally frustrated by her life choices, alone and angry gardening in her California back yard. Family was apparently a reminder she was not what she thought she was about, and alone was her only option in her mind. So, as an outsider non-science observer, Darwin and his numb skull followers were idiots! Welcome to the real world!

Brilliant. Scientists hate design because it cannot b proven. Yet, major theories remain theories because they also cannot be proven. Instead of basing a theory on the best available explanation (ID), their course of action is always, "We just need more time!" And, it always seems to be that in every instance, time is proven to be against them.

[@GL22]

Theories are not 100% irrefutable, but there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence supporting ID. Mainstream science accepts other theories with less evidence (e.g., Darwinian evolution, I would argue), provided they don’t have the same implications about God that ID does. The bias against ID is not due to its lack of compelling evidence, which is substantial. It all comes down to its religious implications. The fact that so many materialist scientists rely on the ad hominem argument that ID is religion masquerading as science reveals what they really see (and fear) in ID-namely, a scientifically supported basis for a belief in God. That is a nonstarter for many, regardless of the weight of the evidence in support of ID.

[@marieindia8116]

@Daniel Paulson theism and the what the Bible teaches are two different things. Most theists do not read the Bible, or read it with false preconceived notions that are good for getting donations in the basket. The Bible encourages healthy skepticism. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen. Do you have confidence that the sun will be visible tomorrow? That's faith, based on the experiential evidence that it has happened before. So it's not faith if there actually is no evidence. 1 John 4:4 Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired statement, but test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. True believers from ancient times have the habit of testing statements. This is not incredulity nor is it gullibility. Now whether modern Christendom follows that tradition is quite another story. So actually students of the Bible have an enquiring and questioning bearing, more so than most Darwinists, who only follow the tax money, or the patron's funds, not the evidence. After all...they have a student debt to pay. 😏

That's bothersome if you are trained to believe that evolution ought to be gradual. In fact it virtually precludes your studying the very process you went into the school to study. Again, because you don't see it, that brings terrible distress."_* (Stephen J.

How the theory persists as settled science is a profound mystery

[@timentz8052]

Yes, yes, and yes. It is absolutely, the most important question to ask at thsi time. This aspect about modern life, that baffles me the most, is how can the theory of evolution hold such incredible favour and weight in society, given our modern scientific knowledge? In the beginning "God created...." These are by far, close to the most stunning and insightful thoughts in the Bible.

[@FrainBart_main]

I don't understand how creationists after all these years still do not understand that "theory" means something very different in the scientific community. Do you not want to understand and stay in the comfortable creationist bubble and echo chamber forever?

But it is not true. The calculation he is talking about takes point mutation into account and nothing more. It is the time needed to have one point mutation and the next in the child and than another in the grand child. This takes a huge amount of time. But that is not how it works. You have Migration (gene flow), Genetic drift, Genomic duplication, Sexual reproduction, Horizontal gene transfer. Which all speeds up evolution significantly. I wonder why he is using a calculation clearly provided to show "biological evolution does not work with one concept" to argue against biological evolution. As if he wants to mislead people. Look up all the stuff he claims.

The last time this was claimed, the resulting civilization brought about the geological feature called the Great Unconformity. And the survivors spread out from Uruk complaining that they had to invent writing because their language was suddenly splintered by gods... And each carried with them the story of the Ark and Flood. So... Ask why Aleister Crowley drew a grey alien after claiming he summoned a demon through dark arts. Ask why Jack Parsons claimed to have opened a portal for spirits to be made flesh, and pointed to the sudden rash of UFOs as proof (where before such sightings were rare). The Watchers would love nothing more than for miseducated people to accept them as their creators. And all the evidence for an old universe comes in the form of “unfalsifiable” rescue mechanisms (such as Oort clouds to explain why comets are still around), or founded on radiometric dating that can’t accurately date new rocks from Hawaii and Mount St. Helens.

The very idea of a Creator, "per quem omnia facta sunt", is an actionable offense to the egomaniacs currently running the show. But Information Theory and higher maths also offer full support for Mr. Bechly's conclusions. The facts clearly show the truth of it, and in that truth there is a terrible reckoning for those who purposefully mislead His people.

[@royolstad8532]

My take after my exposure to this field of evidence (fossil record) is that the overwhelming truth, the elephant in the room, is if you look at the whole taxonomic tree, and realize how many slow, gradual variations it would take to get to evolve all our modern species, there should be hundreds of thousands of transitional forms showing up in the fossil record. If not millions. There is scant if any evidence. Done deal.

[@Darthdog4957]

You do realise that it’s extremely rare for stuff to fossilise why do you think today is far more diverse with life than what the fossil record shows it’s believed to be and we’ll only ever probably know about one percent of the life that was on earth before modern humans

@@joem8496 /// I think that is called 'micro-evolution.'

[@sumbodeee]

@@joem8496 what examples? Back up with proof else you are scrambling

[@jounisuninen]

@@joem8496 You probably mean "micro evolution" which is not evolution at all. That word should not be used in the first place. The correct term is adaption / variation / subspecies. These can occur by the genetic mechanism the species have. New body plans instead can not develop. We can see that natural selection creates adaptation through devolution, not evolution. That's why millions of species have already gone extinct and this process continues incessantly. All ”evolutionary” processes are in fact devolution processes, as each new subspecies has less genetic variety than its stem species ("dealing a deck of cards"). This fact makes impossible for subspecies to create the path that would lead to new taxonomic genera or new taxonomic families i.e. to evolution. Charles Darwin honestly believed that he saw evolution while in reality he saw adaptation (”micro evolution”). He knew nothing of genetics so he couldn’t know that the Hox genes do not allow changes in the basic anatomical structure of any organism. During the meiosis, descendants get adaptive changes in their appearance. This makes them a bit different from their parents but they don’t get structural changes. Without radical changes in the basic anatomical structures (body plan) there is no evolution. This means that the “Common Universal Ancestor” (”original cell”) could never have existed. Neo-Darwinians should know this (and most of them probably know already) but there is too much at stake for them to admit the truth. The evolutionists’ last fortress is to talk of “evolution” when they actually are talking of adaptation. They can obfuscate commoners for a while - but not forever.

[@prestonsplace007]

Wonderful presentation. Thank you. I pray the world will wake up before it's too late.

[@jameswbuchananjr]

Very good explanation of Darwin's enigma regarding his theory on gradual change. However I still don't think their is any evidence of a common ancestor, though. Can anyone even start to track gradual changes going all the way "back" to an ameba?

[@visancosmin8991]

Well... the ultimate truth is that the eternal present moment is all there is. So everything is a story that happens right Now.

[@GL22]

No. That’s the point-the transitional organisms that Darwinian evolution predicts are not there in the fossil record. On the contrary, what the fossil record shows is new species appearing suddenly and with no predecessors. There have been many so-called “explosions” of new species, both in the sea and on the ground. The fossil record reveals life forms emerging not as a tree with a single common trunk but more like a side view of a field of grass. There is no “common ancestor.”

[@michaelsiddle837]

To disprove evolution ask any evolutionist “What came first the mouth or the anus” and where are the anusless fossils with mouths or moutless fossils with anuses in the fossil record? There should be millions of transitional fossils like this but there are NONE!

[@rongplanet]

@@michaelsiddle837 I have no expertise in these matters, but nature seems to love symmetry, and if the initial primitive lifeform was a simple, symmetrical, open ended tube, then you would have a proto, anus and mouth ready for millennia of incremental change to produced specialised functions: Input, peristaltic action and output. Possible?

Gaps in Darwins knowledge have and continue to be filled by diligent, patient enquiry. Two places naysayers should look: endogenous retroviruses (proves Homo sapiens shares a common ancestor with chimpanzees) and Cetacean evolution (from pakycetis to modern whales).

[@rareword]

Just a question about two of this gentleman's statements. .How can there be a common ancestor if the fossil records do not show a gradation from one species to another?

[@jounisuninen]

There is no Darwinian Universal Common Ancestor to be found. In the fossil records we may see adaptive changes or subspecies within given species. That's all. We don't see evolution i.e. changes in the basic anatomical structures of any species. The common system of biological classification (taxonomy) consists of species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain. Obviously there are thousands and thousands of different common ancestors to current species, but they can only be found on the taxonomic levels of species and perhaps genus. Hardly any higher. Evolution theory according to Wikipedia means: 1. Evolutionary processes produce diversity on every level of the biological hierarchy, including the level of species, the level of organisms and the level of molecular evolution. 2. All life on Earth stem from a Universal Common Ancestor which lived about 3,5 - 3,8 billion years ago. The point 1. is correct. Point 2. is an assumption not verified by any known scientific method. That's why the fossil records do not show a gradation from one species to another. Each species has its typical genes and they can usually not successfully mix with genes of another species, let alone with a species belonging to different genus.
