Biologist explains scientific challenges to Darwinian evolution

[reasonforge]

As a software engineer. I design stuff to work on purpose. It would be easy enough to write software that generated random bits, and then attempted to run the bits as code. This could be done trillions of times in short order. But nobody responsible for producing code that works ever uses this method. Evolutionists tell me an unguided process turned a land animal to a whale in a mere million generations or so. I have trouble believing that until I see them at least gene splice a land animal into a whale by hand. How hard should it be if it could happen by dumb luck? Easier than writing code like I do if they are right about it happening in a mere million steps unguided. And yet it is in fact far too hard to do, or even seriously attempt to do, for modern humans.

Billions of years ago, lightening struck a mud puddle creating an instantly self replicating and evolving life form, and that led to humans... Sure... I'm not religious, and am a former staunch atheist, but after studying evolution and the beginnings of life, I have to admit that you can say "fairies did it!" and you'd be just as right as the most high level evolutionary biologist. Basically, we have no answers when it comes to the origins of life, only conjecture. We haven't left square one.

Yeah, actually the creation of a single protein (just one out of the 2000 the simplest organism need) by random processes takes up the probabilistic resources of the entire universe (around 1 in 10^150 trials), that's why chance-base theories of the origin of life were ruled out by atheists themselves in the 1980's. All atheists have now is necessity-based theories, but they're heaviliy flawed (the RNA-world hypothesis is an example of that). Atheism will not survive the 21st century.

[raisentimpa]

Could you dare to explain how the DNA bases could arranged themselves by chemical necessity in the complex sequence necessary to form the first self replicating system with all it's functioning enzimes so to start natural selection?

I remind you that you can't use natural selection to explain the origin of the first living organism because NS doesn't start until you already have a self replicating mechanism. So, can you explain how that first organism appeared? Scientificly please.

Too much faith required for evolution (full origin of life)

Evolution is a nutshell: If you throw shit at a wall for long enough, you will eventually have a beautiful painting.

I see a number of people from 6 years ago talking about junk DNA. I wonder if they still want to talk about it.

Hard to understand why so many take offense at the notion of God, when, as St. Paul observed, “Ever since the creation of the world his [God’s] invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made” (Rom 1:20). One man's opinion you might say, but I challenge anyone to close his/her eyes and meditate for a while on the infinite complexities of the microcosmic and macrocosmic universes and honestly conclude that it all came about via chance and "selection". Impossible. The idea of God is important as being the origin of LOVE. Love is a force of compelling magnitude and variations that clearly must have come from a creator embued with love. It's not a sign of intellectual weakness to posit the existence of the divine. Quite the contrary.

It made me smile when I heard Dr. Axe describing the chance that a protein could be created randomly in the movie “Expelled”; Doctor Axe, says it’s one chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion!! That’s a lot of zeros!!

[TheScienceFoundation]

Genetic engineering doesn't solve anything, it just puts the problem elsewhere. Either that or you have to resort to special pleading.

[pianoraves]

Dude is trynna refute an understanding of evolution people had 100 years ago 😂

[muhammedyasinhanyasar]

There are some peoples who almost worship the evolution thing in my country.

I appreciate the video may lower the background music on such videos as it would be easier to focus on what he is saying.

[mollypix]

Why is someone playing the piano while he is trying to speak and others are trying to listen to him?

[dziskov]

Ok Diogenes Lamp, I will rephrase my request: explain how interactions with environment caused nucleotides in DNA to arrange themselves into sequences which represent complementary parts of the female and male reproductive systems.

[markryan]

Why would we expect "junk" if DNA is inherited, and performs a role?
There is no logic in what you are saying.

[westlands]

The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer supposedly said there are three phases in the revelation of any truth:

1) Firstly, it is ridiculed
2) Secondly, it is resisted
3) Finally, it is accepted as self-evident

Max Planck purportedly said science moves forward one funeral at a time. By his logic, we need some funerals in in the field of evolutionary dogma.

If the quotes are true or not it doesn’t matter, the sentiments however are valid.

[amogus]

Another thing I don't understand is that how does one trait helps the organism survive every disaster. E.g. a giraffe might be able to survive a drought because it can reach high trees and look for water far away, and all the other animals die but can it survive a flood or a plague or a thousand other disasters. After a drought girrafe is the only thing standing alive but it doesn't mean that it is best creature in the area.

Even my dog knows that things don't create codes.

Nobody discovered a code that wasn't designed.

[greenghost]

We don't worship Darwin. Bringing him up is a waste of time.
