Pleas from a YEC

Evolution doesn't happen via random genetic mutations, that's a myth. Plus it's impossible - organisms have shielded themselves from experiencing the effects of such unwanted random mutations. If mutations is how evolution works then why would there be so much hostility towards the mutations occurring in the first place? Evolution doesn't have the opportunity to be able to "test" as many mutations as it would need to in order to work.

The Ulas family in southern Turkey includes 19 children - 7 of them suffer from a genetic mutation, one of the seven has died and 5 of the remaining 6 never learned to walk on two legs even as adults. One, however, can walk despite having the mutation. Prof Uner Tan wrote a peer-review paper on the case where he claimed that this was evidence of backward evolution and blamed it squarely on the genetic mutation, even going as far to label their condition as "Uner Tan syndrome".

In 2005 a BBC documentary was produced about the family, during which the producers filmed the six adult children walking in their primitive way on all fours, and explaining that they lack balance due to brain damage and the brain damage is due to the genetic mutation.

Dr Ali - a physiotherapist - is brought in to examine the family. He believes that the sisters can learn to walk but that Hüseyin who is now well in his 30's is unlikely to ever learn to walk upright and there are shots of children ridiculing him for being unable to walk upright and him become upset at this. Dr Ali then gives them a "$30 walking frame" something that could have been given to them at any time had they ever seen a physiotherapist before, and instantly one of the women is shown walking with it. The producers have a set of parallel bars like those used for rehabilitation therapy installed outside the home (on the advice of Dr Ali) for the family, and showed shots of the affected children using the bars. They then returned a few months later to see that all 6, including Hüseyin, have now learned to walk upright. Thus, of course, disproving Tan's theory.

Here's the full BBC documentary:

Now the point I want to make is evolution works by changes on the organism - the creature - and of course by behaviour, but not by genetic changes. Genetic changes are somehow downhill to this - in other words they arise out of necessity.

If you think this is wrong I'll explain evidence: firstly we're learning creatures, not just us but other animals too. We're born completely blind, our brains are unable to process images when we are born. We learn to see after we are born, it's not something that's genetic. If a baby is born with non-functioning eyes (human or animal) and it reaches (for humans) 2 years old without being able to see, then no matter what their condition is permanent. You can transplant working eyes from another person but it won't make any difference because the brain never bothered to learn to see and thus didn't build the neurological network required to do so.

The human brain has about 100,000,000,000,000 (100 Trillion) connections. The human genome however only contains 3,200,000,000,000 base pairs (3.2 billion). Even if you devoted the whole of the human genome to building the brain then that means you have to compress the information 97% to fit. But we don't use 3.2 billion base pairs for that, no, we use just 20 thousand to build and program the brain. Let me explain this in an easy way to understand - that would be like expecting to install Windows 7 from 1 single 700kb floppy disk, and that floppy disk also contains all the instructions for building the computer to run it on as well. Also, the disk is shielded against experiencing errors (ie mutations). Also the disk is about 97% empty (the installation file would be 20,000 bytes big). That's completely impossible, right? Well the human brain contains more networking than the most complicated of operating systems. So it can't be wholly genetic, it's based on behaviour, environment and of course learning.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
