Date: August 23rd, 2019 10:53 AM Author: spectacular stead faggot firefighter The pre-cambrian creatures just had to simply mutate their DNA, landing on the one-in-ten-trillion-trillion-trillion chance that a new protein would be useful, and early enough in fetal development, and do that a gazillion times for enough proteins to develop some useful new adaptation that branched off a new species, all the while avoiding the trap that nearly all mutations are fatal before reproduction occurs?
And this explosion of mathematically near-impossible mutations all happened in a geological blink-of-an-eye, and among thousands of species? Everyone just won the lottery just before the Cambrian period and sheep with weirdly large intestines and misformed feet suddenly became horses, instead of dying?
Also, oops, left no fossil trail.

Date: August 23rd, 2019 10:55 AM Author: charismatic dragon gas station Early life simply occurred after a serious of random fortuitous mutations that caused an explosion of life, which in turn caused more mutations and evolution.

Scrambling DNA sequences for a single protein, with say 10000 characters, each spot picked from 20-something amino acids, are astronomically likely to be gibberish or result in death. To hit a good one - and then a combination of good ones that may or may not result in an advantageous mutation, it would take longer than the 50 million years or so the geological record constricts us to. (Some geologists say its even as narrow as 10 million). (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4329077&forum_id=2#38730100) |

But nature is pretty awesome, and I wouldn’t be shocked if finding new proteins by perturbing existing ones or if there is some sick natural algorithm used.

Date: August 23rd, 2019 10:58 AM Author: Gay Impressive Background Story Roommate Evolution is like the ultimate scientific theory for liberal artists/psuedointellectuals/reddit atheists because there are no maths or even science really. I have never seen a discussion/debate about evolution that doesn't either:
1. Beg the question, or use it as a rationalisation for itself
2. Differentiate the obvious micro-evolution for birds in the galapagos or human dick sizes versus the massive leap in logic required in order to form the human eye or Monkeys arising from nothing in the era subsequent to the dinosaurs in mere millions of years (not billions or trillions, which would at least make sense).
3. Avoid referring to using the word "evolution" in place of God/intelligent design. i.e., "Humans have incisors to bite into food because of Evolution."
Jewishness, and Yahweh's omnipotence, will be proven correct in the long run imho. Seriousness aside, there is an impetus behind things that has alluded lazy scientists hitherto. |

In any case, evolution is OVER because 1) we can now edit human DNA at the germ line, adding or removing or editing any gene and so we now have a power that is utterly incomprehensible and society is woefully unprepared to deal with and 2) we will soon be using technological upgrades to transcend this biological substrate that took millions of years to evolve but will become about as relevant as a first gen iPod in just a few decades. |

Date: August 23rd, 2019 11:10 AM Author: spectacular stead faggot firefighter im telling you, critics explain the math even for dumbs like me. landing on a viable protein through randomly mutating DNA, which orders the amino acids, is dealing with exponential numbers in the trillions-trillions-trillions. And winning that lottery just gets you one good protein. That then has to combine with other lottery winners to form some adaptation at just the right moment in gestation to change the animal's form. And that change is almost certainly likely to cause early death.
Hitting all the right combos on one species, such that it evolves to a brand new species, would be astounding. To do so as a way to explain the origin of ALL these cambrian species is unreasonable. Even a hundred million years doesnt give you enough generations, mathematically. And the cambrian explosion of species didnt have half that time.
Darwin knew nothing about cellular development and DNA code, obviously. His theory only works for local mutations, like longer beaks. Not for horses arising out of frogs. |

Date: August 23rd, 2019 11:10 AM Author: charismatic dragon gas station Hi dumb,
Horses didn't just "arise" from frogs. Jesus. |
|
Date: August 23rd, 2019 11:13 AM Author: spectacular stead faggot firefighter that was the most flippant phrase in my post. What do you say to the claim that, now being able to do the math in how many correct amino acids you'd need to randomly land on to form a useful protein, it's apparent that there wasnt enough time to explain the appearance of new species of animals?
|
|
Date: August 23rd, 2019 11:15 AM Author: charismatic dragon gas station There are things that are far less likely than your amino acid mutation, that have happened. Many, many things. Like, for example, the universe existing in a way where life could exist to begin with.
Also, your claim is bunk. There was plenty of time. Do you get how much can happen in billions of years? |
|
Date: August 23rd, 2019 11:24 AM Author: spectacular stead faggot firefighter lol u have no knowledge of this.
there were not billions of years to get it done and that is the main point. We know when these creatures didnt exist and then existed.
these species originated between the pre-cambrian and cambrian, and the window of their origins is disputed to be between 10M and 70M years.
the whole criticism is saying "you probably couldnt duplicate this bookshelf of text with the time limit we have", and youre saying, "YES WE COULD... if we had a lot more time". No shit. |

ID has tried poking holes, but evolution is still by far the best theory. People have been attacking it for a long time, and they can't seem to make a legitimate dent.

Date: August 23rd, 2019 7:02 PM Author: Medicated Pisswyrm Take a drawer of silverware. Throw it violently against the kitchen wall. Repeat this ten million times. What are the odds the silverware will fall at random into a configuration that crudely approximates the structure of the Eiffel tower? How much more intricate is the human brain? Sure, just a series of random mutations, the blind result of an impersonal universe's getting on some kind of hot streak. |

Instead it says that you throw them until they approximately something insanely simple that can replicate, and then only the things GOOD at replicating keep replicating. JFC the state of xo in 2019.

Date: August 23rd, 2019 7:08 PM Author: Mustard hyperventilating hall you neglect the anthropic principle. given that we're here we must have gotten here somehow. the only question is why we find ourselves on a planet where life developed so quickly against the odds you describe, instead of one that is billions of years older. the answer may lie in the great filter. it may be far likelier for consciousness to evolve quickly than for a planet not to be destroyed - or at least to remain a hospitable place for life - for eons |

Date: August 24th, 2019 2:21 PM Author: Medicated Pisswyrm I do so because its proponents, who say that it's no less likely for such a brain to come into existence fully loaded with a lifetime's worth of memories than for such a brain to be the result of slower moving evolutionary processes, are implying that one way only happens to be faster, despite that time itself is irrelevant given an infinity with which to work.

Date: August 24th, 2019 5:11 PM Author: Mustard hyperventilating hall you suggested that time being infinite makes it irrelevant to do a comparison of odds of different hypotheses (e.g. are there greater odds that we are boltzmann brains or 'real'?). this is like saying there are equally many even integers as integers. sure it's mathematically true. but within any finite subset of consecutive integers there will always be about twice as many integers as even integers. bousso uses a similar idea to measure the odds of shit happening in an infinite and ever-expanding multiverse |

Date: August 25th, 2019 11:15 AM Author: Medicated Pisswyrm I take time as a measure of the change that a thing realizes in its relative spatial position or its internal disposition. Without change there is no time. Mine is admittedly a mystical view in which the proverbial tree that falls in a forest only makes a sound if there is sufficiently proximate something capable of registering changes in the rates of vibration had by the air molecules. These molecules would not even be affected if nothing else were there to perceive that potential affect. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4329077&forum_id=2#38738900) |
