Discovery Institute and the Central Dogma of Genetics

In this video Dr. Taimur Rahman clarifies that the debate between scientists in the 20th century has not been over whether evolution is a true or false. But over refining our understanding of the specific mechanisms through which evolution occurs. One of the issues under contention is called "The Central Dogma of Genetics" that information only flows from genotype to phenotype. But some social-media influencers are using these scientific debates to argue that evolution is a fairly tale and that science is a fraud. This is position is completely untenable.

بہت اچھے تیمور صاحب۔ اب مزہ آئے گا۔ جب تک آپ جیسے لوگ علم نہیں ظاہر کرتے لوگوں کو نہیں سمجھاتے تو اندھوں میں کانے راجے اپنی الگ راجدھانی بنا لیتے ہیں۔ ضروری ہے کہ علم کے دروازے کھولے جائیں۔

[@kerrytralee12]

Thank you very much for explaining the debate on the various aspects of the evolution theory and its social dimension. Your presentation of contending arguments was truthful and free from any bias. It adds to the glamour and enchantment when all these finer aspects come from a specialist of a completely different discipline but you have triumphantly succeeded in the objective. I can imagine how many days and weeks must have been spent in its preparation and refinement. I am a student of science and medicine but I have never come across a portrayal of the nuances of the debate with such clarity. Wonderful. You are doing a great service to the younger generation and the nation by bringing such relevant topics into the public domain with such easy-to-understand clarity.

Denis Noble's critique of Darwin's original theory of evolution (as opposed to neo-Darwinism) focuses on certain foundational aspects of Darwin's ideas, though it is important to note that Noble critiques Darwin more for the framework's limitations than for its revolutionary impact at the time. His key points of contention include: 1. Natural Selection as the Sole Driver Darwin's Theory: Emphasizes natural selection as the primary mechanism by which evolution occurs. Noble’s Critique: Noble argues that natural selection alone cannot account for the complexity of life. He believes evolution is influenced by multiple interacting processes, including cooperation, symbiosis, and the role of physiological systems in directing adaptation. 2. Gradualism Darwin's Theory: Suggests that evolution occurs gradually through small, incremental changes over long periods of time. Noble’s Critique: Noble points out that evolutionary changes are not always gradual. He highlights evidence of saltation (sudden, large changes) and rapid adaptations facilitated by mechanisms like genome restructuring and epigenetic modifications, which Darwin's theory did not account for. 3. Variation and Randomness Darwin's Theory: Assumes variation arises randomly and is shaped by natural selection. Noble’s Critique: Noble challenges the idea that variation is purely random. He highlights how organisms can induce variations in response to environmental stresses, suggesting a more dynamic and interactive process than Darwin envisioned.

[@Taimur_Laal]

Indeed. But I will only point out that Darwin never argued that natural selection is the "sole" driver. He argued it is one of the main drivers.

[@zaheerhassan1574]

We need to differentiate between evolution and adaptability of already developed multi cellular organisms. Darwin took for granted that first unicellular organisms developed by itself and first DNA which is our genetic code developed by itself. So bottom line is the word evolution in Darwin book is only adaptability if already multicellular organisms

[@Taimur_Laal]

@@zaheerhassan1574 quite right. Darwin’s work is on the origin of species. Not the origin of life.

For me the most wierd part was that in that interview, Dr noble didn't endorse the creationist view, his view differs regards to neo darwinism - which is fine. But ' they' are presenting it in a way as if they have exposed evolution etc and the most absurd thing is that there are people who interpreting the interview to use it as a faith steroid.

[@mr.leftieefn6901]

This is just the regurgitation of what was discussed in that discussion between Qaiser and Denis Noble, Even Qaiser knows Denis doesn't "deny" Natural selection. that wasn't the point, it was regarding the deficiencies in the traditional views of genetics and evolution which are outdated and oversimplified by the likes of scientists like Dawkins and jerry coyne.

[@Taimur_Laal]

In that case, I'm glad that Qaiser was supporting evolution. Because that is what I have done in this video.

[@huzefahabib1137]

In that case, I'm glad that you are negating neo darwinism, that's what qaiser has done in that video.

[@themuhammadalifan8693]

​​@@Taimur_Laal Qaiser doesn't deny evolution, he himself has said in his videos that natural Selection is a good theory, he criticizes its certain aspects like if it's intelligent or unintelligent, is it as immaculate as it's presented ? and of course how people made it a dogma when it can be questioned and reconsidered.

[@Philosopher-ey6qg]

​@@huzefahabib1137 Qaisar is denying the very fact of Evolution. He called it fairly tales.

[@themuhammadalifan8693]

​​​@@Philosopher-ey6qgNah he meant being dogmatic about it, which is a wildly reductionist approach. He doesn't deny Evolution, Just criticizes our current evolutionary Framework, especially Modern Synthesis (neo Darwinian) since it's outdated and we need to take a more holistic approach.

I am confused. As you are treating natural selection and environment separately. In what way the natural selection is made? That is actually through the environment. But the environment could be the natural or deliberate. In either way main driver of evolution is environment.

Thank you Dr Taimur very beautifully explained. I am attaching links of a video. It takes a slightly different perspective on evolutionary theory but makes similar points like you and it is very in dept on the history and theory of evolutionary thought. I suggest others to enrich your understanding from different perspectives and not to get traped in conspiracy theories.

This is interesting. You have just made a video proving that an important aspect of neo-Darwinism is false. This is exactly what Qaiser Ahmed Raja proved in his series and you guys mocked him for that. Now when he got the legend of science Denis Noble to say the same in his podcast, you are jumping on the bandwagon to catch up. Anyway, it's now settled that neo Darwinism is false.

@@LordSteele so what if one aspect is wrong. It doesn’t negate his overall correct view that species are created by branching of life.
