You can no longer attribute god to something in nature or explain nature with your hero.

Excellent presentation. Anyone questioning the 'scientific method' or the natural and spontaneous origin of the molecules of life (vs mythology) should remember two things (1) While all the answers are far from being 'in', look at how much has been figured out and not by means of some mystic but by science (2) While the exact mechanisms and sequences have not been unravelled (most people don't even know much about their own family tree back, say 10 generations) think of the various hypothesis that can now be eliminated by this research - my point being that its complicated and we have lost all most all of the evidence through billions of years and yet we are still making progress. Nita got it right with the key step - hope. Unfortunately, just as we are on the brink of understanding our molecular origins, more energy and funding is going into our mutual self destruction.

God, not man is in control. Evolutionism is the most quackery unscientific story ever told.

[@fsl72]

The word "evolution" is an umbrella term referring to many things and thus can be a cause of great confusion if not defined correctly in the course of discussion and debate. The first meaning of "evolution", that living organisms have a built in propensity to adapt and undergo changes, is an observed and undeniable reality. The environment clearly has an effect on the traits and qualities of living organisms, however, the propensity for change lies within living organisms itself (due to the DNA-gene-cell system). This type of evolution accounts for variation within the type, however, the true and real source of variation is the in-built propensity to adapt to the environment, living organisms are designed with that in-built feature and ability. That which is touted as "the fact of evolution" is based upon this observable reality (in-built adaptability within boundaries). However, an extrapolation is made from this empirical observation, to support a metaphysical belief which has no scientific basis, but is merely a preferred explanation based upon a prior assumption of naturalism. That metaphysical belief is: The second and contested meaning of "evolution" which is the "blind watchmaker thesis" popularized by Richard Dawkins in his support of the modern synthesis (natural selection acting upon random mutations). This meaning of evolution purports that unguided, unintelligent, purposeless, material processes are completely sufficient to account for the "appearance" of design in living organisms and the diversity of life through random mutations in genetic information. This is a fallacy and is an insult to intelligence. It is a discredited metaphysical belief, an explanation demanded by a prior commitment to materialism and naturalism. It should be noted that as it stands in current scientific knowledge about the genome and nature of mutations, the modern synthesis (natural selection acting on random mutations as the explanation for all life's diversity) has been proven false and impossible. In light of this, evolutionary biologists are devising what they call an "extended evolutionary synthesis" to move away from the gene-centric neo-Darwinian view (because they know it is false). It is impossible to account for life's diversity through random mutations in genes alone, it is probabilistically unfeasible and practically impossible. This has been proven without any shadow of doubt. Meanwhile, as this is kept hidden from the public, evolutionists are frantically trying to devise a new "synthesis" to explain life's diversity away from gene-centric explanations. In short, there is currently no agreed upon, proven, evolutionary mechanism on the table because the modern synthesis (as an all explanatory mechanism) is proven to be a fallacy. Despite this the public are misled through smoke and mirrors with the fallacious claim of "natural selection acting on random mutations as an explanation of life's diversity" being a fact.

@@lawnmowerman716 Let's have a look at these 3 guys shall we? Michael J. Behe (born January 18, 1952) is an American biochemist, author, and advocate of the pseudoscientific principle of intelligent design (ID).[2][3] He serves as professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and as a senior fellow of the *_Discovery Institute's_* Center for Science and Culture. Behe is best known as an advocate for the validity of the argument for irreducible complexity (IC), which claims that some biochemical structures are too complex to be explained by known evolutionary mechanisms and are therefore probably the result of intelligent design. Behe has testified in several court cases related to intelligent design, including the court case Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District where *_his views were cited in the ruling that intelligent design is not science and is religious in nature."_* Behe's claims about the irreducible complexity of essential cellular structures have been rejected by the vast majority of the scientific community,[5][6] and his own biology department at Lehigh University published a statement repudiating Behe's views and intelligent design.[7][8] So a totally religious agenda rejected by the scientific community. *_NEXT_* Dr. James Tour "To those who are disconcerted or even angered that I signed a statement back in 2001" he responded "I have been labeled as an Intelligent Design (ID) proponent. I am not. I do not know how to use science to prove intelligent design although some others might. I am sympathetic to the arguments on the matter and I find some of them intriguing, but the scientific proof is not there, in my opinion. So I prefer to be free of that ID label. As a modern-day scientist, I do not know how to prove intelligent design using my most sophisticated analytical tools- the canonical tools are, by their own admission, inadequate to answer the intelligent design question. I cannot lay the issue at the doorstep of a benevolent creator or even an impersonal intelligent designer. All I can presently say is that my chemical tools do not permit my assessment of intelligent design." David Berlinski An opponent of biological evolution, Berlinski is a senior fellow of the *_Discovery Institute's_* Center for Science and Culture, a Seattle-based think tank that is a hub of the pseudoscientific intelligent design movement. Berlinski shares the movement's rejection of the evidence for evolution, but *_does not openly avow intelligent design_* and describes his relationship with the idea as: "warm but distant. It's the same attitude that I display in public toward my ex-wives."[1] Berlinski is a critic of evolution, yet, "Unlike his colleagues at the Discovery Institute,...[he] refuses to theorize about the origin of life." So again not only a religious agenda but he himself avoids the intelligent design hypothesis. *_Look if you want to hang onto your superstitious beliefs and ignore the REAL science go for it but don't expect anyone else to swallow that bullshit!_*

I think the theory of evolution could be extended right to the beginning , where amino acids were automatically formed. It makes more sense to believe that the formation of cell was a process which happened simultaneously everywhere on earth, thus increasing the chance. Perhaps good conditions existed, heavy rains and lighting or meteor showers, abundance of organic minerals or compounds. Think of zillions tons of membrane , peptides and amino acid molecules floating around in land and water. Out of the zillions, few trillions got organized, rest disintegrated. Those which remained were of the same configuration. Then few billion tons of perfect protocell were formed, rest just dissolved. Suddenly the odds look good enough for simultaneous evolution of millions of tons of bacteria and multi cellular life. The point is everything looks impossible on a small scale, like in a laboratory experiment. But earth is big and the time scale is 4.5 billion years. A lot can happen and lot did happen. And everything happened on a large scale. What laboratory cannot possible replicate is the time period and the scale of experiments. The question that what came first,whether it was cell membrane, DNA or Mitochondria. How about if all came together at one point of time.

Accepting a Great Designer for all the extraordinary designs you see in nature will require you to accept the logical, rational thinking that is normal to conscious intelligent beings. Believing that a blind, mindless process can design anything is the most stupidest belief ever!

[@kyjo72682]

+MosheMYY M Well, bacteria can definitely "design" a resistance to our intelligently designed drugs. Are they intelligent? Yes, in a sense, but they don't have any human-like intelligence, no mind or thoughts, no imagination. Yet it is directly observable that they - as a population, not individual bacteria - can learn and come up with new solutions to their problems. Vast majority of billions of billions of them die in the process, but those few lucky that survive and reproduce will create a new drug-resistant population and fill in the emptied living space.. And that's what the whole evolution is about: it's a giant constant learning process. Storing the useful solutions in memory (DNA/RNA) and trying to forget the rest..

[@moshemyym4627]

+kyjo72682 Bacteria, like other living things were designed to survive and therefore make small changes when necessary. All living things can adapt to survive. This is not evolution. It Is in fact linear change as we know no biological system becomes something it wasn't before meaning, humans will still be humans and bacteria will remain bacteria. Why do logical, rational thinking go unheard among evolutionists? You guys know that the designs in nature are real but you continue to deny it. And it's not like the designs are should be compared to putting together some lego blocks. These designs are far superior than anything we have made! This is why it's very easy for many of us to believe in an SUPER INTELLIGENCE. This is plain logic. But some evolutionists see intelligent design and are ready to hijack it for evolution sake.... *Intelligent design without a creator? Why evolution may be smarter than we thought* theconversation.com/intelligent-design-without-a-creator-why-evolution-may-be-smarter-than-we-thought-52932 So yeah, it's like intelligence has done it but not the intelligence we're familiar with. We want to ascribe to evolution certain abilities that it's not known to have like all the fields of engineering combined and compounded 1,000,000 times! It's past time to get real and allow the best logical conclusion to prevail as it should.

[@kyjo72682]

MosheMYY M Individual bacteria don't (can't) make any changes to their structure that could help them resist the drug. But the variability is already there - in the population. There are groups of individuals that are slightly different from the rest in some way (few proteins added/removed here and there). These changes come from random mutations - errors during copying genetic memory. Most of mutations are fatal and the "different" individuals die before reproducing, but sometimes the change is small and benign. And sometimes, when it comes to it, the change cam be both benign AND beneficial - for example it can block the artificial drug from entering and killing the bacteria. So you see - we have a bunch of mindless microorganisms with no consciousness or any planning abilities whatsoever - yet they seem to display quite intelligent behavior. And combined with their sheer numbers they even seem to out compete our own intelligent designs. ;) You say "the designs are in nature". And I agree that the results of this huge natural process may seem smart and designed. But what does that actually mean "to design something"? Think about it. Design is a process of trials and errors, repeated until a useful solution to a problem is stumbled upon. An intelligent designer - engineer who wants to build a car - must first LEARN from the mistakes and solutions of others, then he learns from his own errors and successes. Which is exactly what evolution does: learning. The difference is that what we call "intelligence" and "design" is the result of this natural process, not its prerequisite.

[@moshemyym4627]

+kyjo72682 The point of all this is it's not possible for a mindless, blind process to produce the designs we see in nature. It is a certain group of intelligent people who are probing the inner and outer workings of biological systems WAY AFTER THEY HAVE ARRIVED and try to attribute their intricate interwoven systems and their development to a process that has demonstrated absolutely nothing to validate the assumptions made by this group of people. Just because their goal is to solidify the theory of evolution and therefore state that biological systems are the result of evolution and its mechanism, until they can demonstrate how evolution did it, it's not a theory, it's not believable and it shouldn't be touted as a scientific fact. Until the process is demonstrated, you can't use fossils, you can't use fully formed, fully designed, fully functional biological systems programmed to adapt and have variation as evidence for what the process supposedly has done. That's it in a nutshell. Learning about how bacteria functions, learning about DNA, RNA, phylogeny and the many information rich processes of biological systems is fine, just don't claim that a blind, mindless process is the cause of their existence. What would evolution know about information? From what we know, information can only be understand and process through intelligence and intelligence can make things to express and relay information. Evolution is johnny-come-lately with nothing to support it.

[@kyjo72682]

+MosheMYY M That would be really weird to try and probe biological systems before they've arrived. :) That would be like.. speculating that something which has never been observed actually exists.. Oh, wait! :P But evolution has been observed and demonstrated, many times. I just gave you a concrete example of a "blind process" with bacteria. Its the principles that work. They work so well they're even being used in computer science to solve problems that are very hard to solve by conventional algorithms. The results of evolutionary algorithms are not exact but they will usually be precise enough to solve the problem at hand. These algorithms have no mind, they have no idea how to solve the problem, they are not even aware of any problem - yet they arrive at a smart solution. I don't think solidification of evolutionary theory is the goal. It's about finding the best way to describe and explain natural phenomena. There's no conspiracy to achieve a specific goal. The theory just matches observations. If it didn't it would have been replaced by something better a 100 years ago just like Netwon's classical mechanics has been replaced by Einstein's relativity. As for information - from a physical standpoint it's an inherent property of the universe. A physicist would say information is the state of a system, it's the way how matter/energy is distributed in a region of space. From computer-sciency perspective this is called data. Literally everything, every piece of matter and energy is a medium - a memory that holds data - piece of paper, rock, magnetized metal, radio wave / ray of light, or a chain of nucleic acid molecules. Information only comes into picture when someone reads/interprets the data in a certain way and attributes meaning to it. But this is a completely subjective process that doesn't affect the underlying physical data and processes in any way. Rock will still be a rock - a bunch of chunked atoms - whether or not there is someone to read what's chiseled into it. RNA strand will still be a molecule that can make more of itself whether or not we know how to read the genetic code.. tinyurl.com/zut5uy4

"We take it as an assumption there is a natural process by which you can go from geochemical simplicity to biological complexity" No such process has been demonstrated to date September 2022. On emergent complexity consider stars and galaxies.. well that also failed to even get a suitable mathematical model; STAR FORMATION Dr David Wallace 2009: _"So: suppose we consider a large, cold gas cloud. If the total energy of the cloud is positive, expansion will always increase its entropy; this is probably unsurprising, as the average velocity of the gas particles exceeds the escape velocity. If it is negative, it may be entropically favourable for the cloud to contract somewhat, but the effect is not normally that marked: for instance, on this model even a cloud which begins at absolute zero will only contract to half its initial radius before reaching its maximum-entropy state."_ And gravity presents another problem.. BIG BANG Gravity Problem: 1. Big Bang assumes energy and matter from nothing in a quantum singularity or fluctuation 2. The density is quoted variously as extreme to infinite 3. The total mass of the universe curves space and shapes the universes destiny 4. Black Holes have an escape velocity at their event horizon equal to the speed of light 5. The size of a Black Hole is measured by its mass which gives the diameter of the event horizon 6. The mass of the universe is ~1e80 protons = 6.7e53 Kg 7. The formula for escape velocity = (2GM/r)^0.5 Therefore r = 2GM/v^2 8. Given M = 6.7e53 Kg and v = 3e8 m/sec therefore Dia = 2.r = 52.5 billion light yrs 9. The universe cannot at any time have been smaller than 52.5 billion light yrs in diameter 10. This is called the Schwarzschild's Radius of any mass and is well known 11. Hence the matter in the universe can only have been created after the expansion of space.. The Big Bang is falsified as a violation of the law of gravity! Q.E.D. Then Sir Fred Hoyle wrote 'The Mathematics of Evolution' SIR FRED HOYLE Falsified Evolution: 1- Fred Hoyle FRS (24 June 1915 - 20 August 2001) was an English astronomer who formulated the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis and also an atheist 2- In 1987 he wrote ‘Mathematics of Evolution’ concluding the Darwinian theory is false (accepted micro-evolution) 3- What Hoyle showed was that novel genes for new proteins could not possibly have evolved by the Darwinian process of natural selection; 4- “Well as common sense would suggest, the Darwinian theory is correct in the small but not in the large. Rabbits come from slightly different rabbits...” 5- Even assuming 95% of the genome is junk and the code is 30% redundant could not save evolution 6- Concerning new genes “Where they came from in the first place is a problem yet to be solved, like much else of a cosmic scale.” 7- In 2018 TB. Fowler reviewed Hoyle's Critique of Neo-Darwinian Theory and said “The conclusion is that while Hoyle's mathematics is impeccable, and thus his critique based on them has merit, he did not carry his own reasoning far enough and specifically failed to consider the possibility of large variations in selective value.” 8- Hoyle did not consider large variations because he knew the obvious negative effect on probability of beneficial change only magnifies the problem; Hoyle 9- “we have a case in histone-4 where more than 200 base pairs are conserved across the whole of biology? The problem for the neo-Darwinian theory is to explain how the one particular arrangement came to be discovered in the first place. Evidently not by a random process" The probability = 1e-120 ? 10- Hoyle was so convinced he invented a panspermia model pushing the problem of new genes out into the cosmos admitting it’s still a problem 11- Since Hoyle’s work was verified and its only alternative worse for evolution of new genes his assertion that the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution is wrong is a falsification!

@@mcmanustonyAdopting a patronising arrogant does not make your views any more credible. Rather, such a mask draws attention to why there may be a need to employ one. I am a trained ecologist so do in fact have a good understanding of scientific methodology and natural respect for scientific endeavour. Like many other scientists, this does not mean that I close my mind, soul and spirit to our Creator or to the extraordinary life of Christ. Not every scientist follows a blind faith in pure materialistic explanation of life. Fanaticism is not confined to the religious. Neither are all creationists or religious folk fanatics. Richard Dawkins is a good example of a scientist who is not only fanatical in his humanistic, atheistic pursuits but is so to the point of being also a religious zealot. Balance in scientific and spiritual experience of life is healthy and mutually beneficial. Believers in God vastly outnumber atheists among Nobel Prize Laureates in science, and the great early scientist such as Sir Isaac Newton were all believers in God. These facts provide ample evidence that science and faith in God are not incompatible. When both are approached with an open mind and interpreted properly, they will be mutually supportive. It's not hard to find symmetry. Unfortunately it is also all too easy to find dogma in both camps that restricts the discovery and enjoyment of symmetry that exists between science and Christian theism.

Nature can create a crystal. A picture (Mona Lisa) is more complex than a crystal (it contains information). However, it cannot replicate itself. A computer program is more complex than a picture because it can create a picture. It contains both information and instructions to replicate something. However, it was created by a programmer who told it what to do. DNA (life) is much more complex than any computer program. It can replicate itself and it can build a complex organism. It seems to me that (DNA) life would require something much more than a programmer.

The major problem with the Intelligent Design movement is that it's proponents try to refer to certain things in nature such as microscopic 'motors' and such and then try to compare them to motors that humans have made *with our hands* and then conclude "this must have been made, *teleologically!"* The problem is, however, we know how we design things *again -- with our hands!* Intelligent Design proponents _do not_ know how disembodied minds (or mere minds, if you like) do _anything,_ let alone BUILD something that we could later interpret as "very special". We would need a theory of consciousness for that. Something the Discovery Institute is NOT even trying to develop, I suspect.

Why did the Y chromosomes come out to be so similar between them and us? Let's take a look. When they make statements of Neanderthal DNA vs. human DNA in their comparisons, it is misdirection. In actuality, it is common gene expression between us. Neanderthals WERE human with mere gene expression modification differences with NO implied evolving of DNA mutations being involved. It's sleight of hand. Actual tabulation of our DNA sequences with theirs showed a result of 99.84% commonality. We are 99.90% identical to each other. Why the 00.10% difference between each human being? It's mutation load. Why the 00.06% difference between us and them? Again...its the mutation load accumulation over the thousands of years since we co-existed. Subtract the thousands of years, then we would be 99.9% identical All this is evolution-impertinent. What is pertinent about the disseminators of evolution information and the resulting confused public who selects to listen to them? It shows misdirection and propagandization. It's control of the information to make a false impression of 'evolving DNA mutations'...general evolution to the fans of evolution. The problem? Genes modify by chemical tagging, largely by methylation, ABOVE the DNA sequences without mutations to them. It's a 2nd information code called the 'epigenome'. Purveyors of evolutionary theory makes it seem there is only ONE information code, being the DNA code. It's lying by simplifying, accidentally for many who only memorized what their professors wanted for a passing grade, and pass on this misdirection to others. For a pretty good paycheck, too. Want to know another misdirection? It's implying that chimpanzee's DNA sequence 'similarity' to humans of '98.5%' would be from the same scientific method applications as the 99.84% Neanderthal-human similarity. Is it? No. The chimpanzee comparison is between similar genes while EXCLUDING the non-coding DNA regions. With the Neanderthals, it's comparing ALL of the DNA sequence. Not ending there, the chimpanzee's Y chromosome in the sex-specific regions was compared to us, the pro-evolution researcher was surprised to find they were missing 33% of the total human genes. He said the difference was 'horrendous'! He said the difference between us and them was as large as the difference between a chicken's Y chromosome and ours. So how TODAY'S male chimp offspring be 98.5% similar to human's male offspring when 33% of the genes are missing? The scientific prediction before the study was done, the two Y chromosomes should have been 98%+ similar. What was their rescue excuse to this intelligent design-friendly finding? What is the rescue excuse for just looking at a fraction of the chimp DNA, not the entire sequence, for the 98.5% similarity? Why imply just DNA in Neanderthal comparisons when it's common gene expression instead? It looks like a degree in evolutionary biology and theory is made of misdirection and memorization of rescue excuses. 'Evolution' is misrepresentation of gene expression, epigenetics, and the epigenome's capabilities and claims of gene degeneration causes evolutionary generation. What is the root of this claim of degeneration leading to generation? It is in the above sentence! it's taking these epigenome-derived gene expression capabilities and THE ASSUMPTION OF EVOLVING DNA MUTATIONS when...by definition...no mutations happen with this biological system. What else does this epigenome's capability do? It makes adaptations to changed environment, diet, or new threats for hundreds of generations, if needed. It can do it for one or two generations if the change switches back. This includes the Darwin Finch beaks WITHOUT the theorized 'engine' of evolution. This is a post-2014 new-info THIRD ASPECT of epigenetic ability. Thusly, it is an intelligent design signature by its logistics and common sense when no bias is applied. The science-specific information above is web search retrievable and verifiable. Why does people like me have more scientific information than the innocent consumers of the evolution theory do? It is because the evolution-unfriendly information is withheld or piecemealed. It shows propagandization, not rationalization. It shows people like me gets the truth demonstrated while others take it dictated by their mentors they selected to listen to. There you go. There's your science. Evolution is not happening. We are a creation. The creator? Jesus Christ beyond doubt. I have put decades of research in this truth demonstrated to me. The 'dots of the picture' that the theory of evolution gives is the illusion of there being no God. It produces a much higher suicide rate in kids raised in this fatalism. The accompanying depression is not good in trying to foster a successful civilization to pass on to our children. The 'science' of evolution disrupts the sciences of other applications of science such as in psychology and social science aspects. It has selfish political science benefits to those who push the theory.
