Theist ➤ Why ☠ Evolution is not Scientific ✔

Without mutation there would be no evolution. (November 26, 2016 at 3:18 pm)The Joker Wrote: Evolution is random living cells forming by chance given enough time and then it evolving upwards.

As I see it? Haha. Yeah, science is just a load of opinions.
31 pages of rubbish and you don't even know what you're arguing against. Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. (Wikipedia) As I said, the evidence for this is everywhere. It involves denying simple observable facts about reality to deny. Feel free to send me a private message.

And "evolving upwards" is a meaningless phrase. Why not go get a science book. Instructions on how to develop a phenotype (humans, animals, bacteria, solutions in a computer) are stored in a genotype (chromosomes, a string of real values in a computer etc) . Different operators are applied to the genotype; crossover, mutation and duplication. Crossover is when a proportion of each parent's genotype is recombined to form a new genotype. If there was only crossover then all variation would eventually be removed in a population even without natural selection. Mutations of individual parts of the genotype increase variation within the population. Most mutations are deleterious but a few of them are beneficial. The few beneficial ones are more likely to spread throughout the population over many generations because carriers of the mutation are more likely to breed successful offspring. The larger the mutation the more likely it is to deleterious. This is why smaller mutations are better and why macro-evolution works by micro-evolution. Duplication can also occur in the genotype. This opens up new areas of the search space because the duplicated parts of the genotype can be mutated and can perform a different function. This only works for neutral duplication though that does not lower the fitness of the genotype. But this is one way in which complexity can grow over time. Using these operators, the population traverses a fitness landscape because weaker phenotypes are less likely to produce off-spring whereas the stronger phenotypes are more likely to. So each generation the population moves as a whole to higher points on the fitness landscape as the fitter genotypes are used to produce stronger phenotypes that breed more.

Bacteria resistance is just mutation it doesn't prove evolution. If it is so random why do you claim direction? Oh and bacteria and viruses is evidence of evolution, as it shows the strains most resistant to antibiotics and other medicines are outcompeting non-resistant strains, an outcome predicted by the theory of evolution.

Also gotta love his retarded banner
The first row conflates stuff that has nothing to do with evolution to evolution (thus continuing projecting creationism onto evolution)not to mention all the stuff in the first row really exist The second is bunch of stories and religious concepts As for the bottom humans were never chimps we branched off long ago and there is no such thing a Darwinism and intelligence is a assertion not a fact
