On the contrary, scientific gene-knockout experiments have shown that if any of the 30 genes in a bacterial flagellum are removed it doesn't function. In fact, as time goes on and we learn more and more about the cell, we are discovering more irreducible micro machines. In addition, organs are also irreducibly complex such as the eye. Please link a peer-reviewed scientific paper showing how a photo-sensitive cell (i'll even let you have the cell although how the cell could form in the first place is another topic) could form into an eye.Coolanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960307178404498475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-85432143715185184702016-04-04T16:13:44.636-07:002016-04-04T16:13:44.636-07:00Please link a scientifically peer-reviewed paper t...Please link a scientifically peer-reviewed paper that shows that irreducible complexity has been totally debunked. Recent scientific gene-knockout experiments have shown on the bacterial flagellum that all 30 or so genes are required and if one is missing it doesn't function. In fact, as time has gone on more and more irreducible micro-machines in cells are discovered. Not only that but organs such as the eye still are irreducible. Please submit a peer reviewed paper that explains how the eye went from say a photo sensitive cell to a fully formed eye. You won't find one, because even scientists that hold fast to Darwinian theory are in agreement...they don't know how it happened.Coolanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960307178404498475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-5614049934001607802014-06-21T17:39:46.778-07:002014-06-21T17:39:46.778-07:00The problem is, as I see, that both ideas are crap...The problem is, as I see, that both ideas are crap. Evolution and divine design need each other to substantiate their own existence where, in fact, both suck. <br /><br />I was working on speciation at UC Berkeley and sat in on a lecture looking at dna sequencing of north Pacific oysters. The prof. came in and stated "Well, evolution is dead, lets get on with it." I cheered. The problem he described was that of 2 oysters, with completely different genomes had the exact same geographic, morphologic and anatomical features but were 20 millions years apart in their habitation. The fossils could not be told apart without looking at their genomes and their carbon age.<br /><br />Evolution implies that there is a progression of species that a species goes from one location, interior and exterior, in space/time to another and that progress is random. This is not true. A species may go backward, sideways, and upside down depending on the perceptive spaces they enjoy. They must perceive the next space from the spaces available to them within the time of their discrete existence. As these space/times change they may accumulate space/times within their genomes and may become more able to remain and then perceive and occupy new spaces with new, unpredictable times qualities. <br /><br />This is the problem with evolution in that it implies that change is random where, in fact, it is a direct function of perception. The change has the opportunity to change the dimensional responses of the species allowing it to occupy that new space, or not. The spaces it occupies allows it to perceive new space/time opportunities or, just as common, be killed by them. Accumulations of similar perceptions enhances the opportunities and, subsequently, new modalities of existence and survivability (extended existence). <br /><br />The species did not evolve it chose, it selected. Natural selection implies that things happen randomly, that there is an unconsciousness driving the bus, where, in fact, speciation is a function of direct perception, of choice. <br /><br />As for Divine Design well, I think that is just hopeful stinking where great wealth is perceived and collected every week. Of course the evolutionist have their hand out too.

Is there a map, or some kind of blueprint? Is there some kind of scaffolding left over from the construction phase? These are things we're actually looking for.<br /><br />Is it really a fact that this and that could not come about without the entire system already in place? We know that "irreducible complexity" has been totally debunked in the realm of evolution. Why should we trust the same idea in the realm of origins?<br />John B.

The facts are that the stages of replication, transcription, and translation are all mutually dependent upon one another and could not come about without the entire system already in place.<br /><br />If you are going to say "I don't know" with regard to the origin of life, then you cannot say intelligent design is a priori forbidden.

We don't have a scientific explanation for the origin of life. On the other hand, it's not at all clear how God might have created life either. Did God just say the word and it happened? How does that explain anything?John B. Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234524731241646514noreply@blogger.com
