1. HOW DID LIFE ORIGINATE?
It was by trial and error. Errors did not prosper while good combinations prospered.
2. HOW DID THE DNA CODE ORIGINATE?
Again by trial and error. What works proceeded to the next step while what does not work dies down.
3. HOW COULD MUTATIONS—ACCIDENTAL
COPYING MISTAKES (DNA ‘LETTERS’
EXCHANGED, DELETED OR ADDED, GENES
DUPLICATED, CHROMOSOME INVERSIONS,
ETC.)—CREATE THE HUGE VOLUMES OF
INFORMATION IN THE DNA OF LIVING THINGS?
Again by trial and error.
5. HOW DID NEW BIOCHEMICAL PATHWAYS,
WHICH INVOLVE MULTIPLE ENZYMES WORKING
TOGETHER IN SEQUENCE, ORIGINATE?
Just by changing a gene sequence would make a bird's beak point down. Again by trial and error based on need. If humans need later need four eyes, we will have four eyes, because if two eyes no longer work, those with two eyes dies while those with four eyes live. Just an example.
6. LIVING THINGS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE
DESIGNED, SO HOW DO EVOLUTIONISTS KNOW
THAT THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED?
Again based on trial and error. Conservationist wanted to protect zebras so they put them in an island without predators. In ten years time, they were all dead. All animals have their own role in nature. It is man who has no role.. Man was inserted into nature, while all the rest evolved..
7. HOW DID MULTI-CELLULAR LIFE ORIGINATE?
Again by trial and error. what works evolved to the next level.
8. HOW DID SEX ORIGINATE?
Trial and error again.
9. WHY ARE THE (EXPECTED) COUNTLESS
MILLIONS OF TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS MISSING?
It may not be missing. It may not be discovered yet. We thought there was no life in deep see. Now we know there are living things thousand of meters below the sea.
10. HOW DO ‘LIVING FOSSILS’ REMAIN
UNCHANGED OVER SUPPOSED HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, IF EVOLUTION HAS
CHANGED WORMS INTO HUMANS IN THE SAME
TIME FRAME?
If it works then it will remain unchanged. Evolution initiates if there is a need. If there is no need, and a specie tries to evolve due to the trial and error,it will not proceed to the next level.
11. HOW DID BLIND CHEMISTRY CREATE
MIND/ INTELLIGENCE, MEANING, ALTRUISM AND
MORALITY?
Intel has developed a chip that mimics our brain. Maybe that chip will develop meaning and atruism. Let us wait and see.
12. WHY IS EVOLUTIONARY ‘JUST-SO’ STORYTELLING
TOLERATED?
It would depend on the situation. The appendix must have a use before, but now no more.. Before, men need to be aggressive, nowadays, men need to be wise, and hire aggressive men to protect him.. It is no longer brawn, it is brain that matters most.
13. WHERE ARE THE SCIENTIFIC
BREAKTHROUGHS DUE TO EVOLUTION?
It is bogged down on the ethics of stem cell research, cloning, etc..
14. SCIENCE INVOLVES EXPERIMENTING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW THINGS WORK; HOW THEY
OPERATE. WHY IS EVOLUTION, A THEORY ABOUT
HISTORY, TAUGHT AS IF IT IS THE SAME AS THIS
OPERATIONAL SCIENCE?
Evolution can now be don on the lab. Making a bird's beak point to the ground can be done by altering the genes.
15. WHY IS A FUNDAMENTALLY RELIGIOUS
IDEA, A DOGMATIC BELIEF SYSTEM THAT FAILS
TO EXPLAIN THE EVIDENCE, TAUGHT IN SCIENCE
CLASSES?
By habit?
