      So we know God exists because things are incredibly complicated which means they must be designed by a perfect designer but at the same time we should ignore that a perfect designer would make things without as little complexity as possible because that's just a human notion?
      So we can rely on human intuition that things look designed but absolutely MUST NOT rely on that very same intuition to notice that it's not very well designed?

      Evidence is the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid. Since God and the Bible are unfalsifiable it is disingenuous to say the Bible isn't evidence. Since a certainty of validity cannot truly be reached.
      I mean it sure isn't GOOD evidence and ultimately proves nothing but it technically still can be presented as evidence. They just shouldn't get mad we don't take it as truth. I mean I certainly don't buy its claims. It is like an eyewitness testimony in a court case. It, by itself, isn't enough to get a conviction. There needs to be more evidence; material evidence, to reach an honest verdict. Some people may believe the witness, but a witness can misremember, imagine aspects of the story that aren't there, or just down right lie. I like to point and laugh at the theists (the insufferable ones at least) but we have to be honest about what the words mean or they can try and use our mistakes against us.

      I believe this is called the sunk cost fallacy, which is basically says too much time, effort, money, blood, sweat and tears have gone into something to give up now. It doesn't have to be a religion, but it often is. This is why so many elderly people are set in their ways about so many things, but particularly religion. This is because they feel they're so close to reaching heaven that it would be insane to give up now, even if presented with proof that they're wrong about all of it and have been since day one. Honestly, at that point giving up on a lifelong belief would probably make them suicidal, so it's kinder to leave them to their delusions. However, people like Ken Ham are hurting far more than just themselves, so if you have a voice for reason, please speak up. But do so kindly, because these people have been conned since childhood and that's not their fault.

Even my own brother was born with a malformed aortic valve that eventually led to complications that nearly killed him. He ended up requiring surgery to implant a mechanical valve, an aortic graft, and a pacemaker. So much for perfect design!

Although in some cases they did a very bad job with educating their offspring ... you can even ASK them about your "creation". That is impossible with a fantasy figure like the god of the bible! In fact we can prove beyond doubt, that a mental construct, an analogy like Adam & Eve is NOT how and where we originated from! (See our easily detectable foreign DNA content from hominid subspecies such as Neanderthals and other numerous superarchaic influences. Or the diversity of the maternal mitochondrial DNA. And so on ... hehehe).

      ...but how did the autonomic nervous system come into existence thats the point.

    • @TheLithp
      @TheLithp 7 місяців тому

      ​@@martinzeeman2188 As ancient colonies of single-celled organisms became increasingly interdependent, they needed to develop more specialized cells. So, some cells would be more specialized for digesting & absorbing nutrients, others would be more specialized to distribute them among the colony, & some would be more specialized to sending signals telling the others what to do. Eventually, they get to a point where they can no longer live separately. Now the species has graduated from a colony of single-celled organisms to a multicellular organism.
      Now that it's a multicellular organism, all of those systems continue to develop, becoming more & more specialized. Those signaling cells from earlier, in the case of animals, become neurons. Plants & fungi have different methods of transmitting signals throughout their bodies, though all of them can generate action potentials, which to me suggests that this is an incredibly old adaptation, from before these three even split. And since modern plants originated from green sea algae, we're talking waaaay back.
      Anyway, sticking with animals, it's strange to cite the autonomic nervous system as the pinnacle of development because something like it long predated the somatic nervous system. Animals like sea sponges & jellyfish, which lack any ability for intentional movement, can still respond to stimuli. They developed what's called a "neural net" as the connections between their signaling cells became more efficient due to natural selection. Having specific lines of nerves requires fewer resources to get the job done, thereby increasing the probability that they'll survive to pass on their genes.
      In more advanced animals, we see "ganglia," which are clusters of neurons. Sufficiently dense & complicated ganglia located inside the head can be considered brains. Wikipedia has an excellent article, "List of animals by number of neurons," which shows a clear gradient of animals that can exist with as little as 200 neurons, not counting the ones that have zero. Invertebrates tend to have many different nervous system configurations, with some ones that require more complex movement or body coordination, such as insects, having less "netlike" nerve systems & more "cordlike" ones.
      Only a single pylum, chordata, has a true spinal cord. That would be vertebrates, such as us. Mutations at the base of the phlyum gave structures that can become both the spinal cord & the spinal column. Our particular nervous system evolved to the point where we divide it by structure & classification, including into the somatic & autonomic nervous system. Though their nerve systems are structured differently, invertebrates also evolved somatic nervous systems (& continued to evolve their autonomic systems) because these respond to common problems faced by any creature.
      Our modern nervous system is indeed very complex, but just like any other example of supposed "irreducible complexity," we see evidence a clear spectrum of more primitive forms that persist to this day. Our system evolved out of those more primitive systems which, in turn, evolved from earlier systems, all the way back to single-celled lifeforms. Indeed, the fact that we have stem cells that become specialized & lose their ability to become any cell is another sign of this.
      If we were so "designed" that our cells were all highly specialized parts that couldn't come from less specialized versions, then we should expect that there is a "bone kind," a "blood cell kind," a "nerve kind," & so on that can never be any other kind of cell because that would be "macrodevelopment" instead of "microdevelopment." The existence of stem cells proves that specialized cells can & do emerge from less-specialized cells. If this happens in someone's body every day, then the idea that it's impossible to evolve over generations is absurd.
      That, in a nutshell, is how the autonomic nervous system evolved. If you want a more specific answer than that, go ask someone who studies it for a living. The problem is that Ken Ham just uses his lack of knowledge as an excuse to say evolution isn't true because he wants his religious beliefs validated. If he looked deeper, any question of his can at least be partially answered. The evolution of the entire modern biome is clearly a very complex topic. No one, certainly no single person, can tell you literally everything about it. The more detailed of an explanation you want in a certain subject, the more specialized of a researcher you need to ask for the same reason you wouldn't expect to go to your family doctor to get open heart surgery.

      They choose for it not to make sense. Science makes a very good presentation on evidence they see in many areas. Such as DNA and fossils found. How they see DNA work in life now. They actively choose to NOT understand and hear how all the pieces fight together in the over all picture. Instead they choose to not understand it so they can say it "doesn't make sense", which is admitting you didn't bother to go far enough for it to make sense. There are a lot of Christians who accept the over all science and worked it into their belief in the Christian god. Yet they (mostly young earth creationists) won't go that far. I actually have some respect for believers who accept the science. They are far more honest than the YEC. Like the person who says they have no knack for learning a second language after spending seven hours on it. Yeah that's how learning a second language works.

    Using the math that the Big Bang started from an infinitely dense singularity, time dilation also would have been infinite, making it so no time could pass until the density decreased. (It’s why some hypotheses about the trigger of the Big Bang involve quantum events that either don’t care about the direction of time or don’t inherently care about time)

    • @donnievance1942
      @donnievance1942 6 місяців тому

      There is actually no consensus that the Big Bang started from an infinitely dense singularity. That idea comes from a naive projection of General Relativity and cannot actually be demonstrated mathematically. That is why you hear physicists saying that the pre-Bang state was a "hot, dense state," not a singularity. No one knows if there was a predecessory history prior to the Big Bang era. Theists' assertion that the Big Bang was "the beginning of the universe" is pure bull$h!t that they have made up and projected onto Big Bang theory to help them work out their little Kalam syllogism. No one can give a common language description of what infinitely dilated time even means. You cannot say that it was an infinite stretch of time, as there would be no independent time to measure it as infinite against. You cannot describe it as an interval in which any event could temporally take place, quantum or otherwise. Also, it would only be infinitely dilated from our relativistic point of view, looking back at it from our frame of reference. However, the "moment" of the singularity would not contain our frame of reference or any other. There are no logical propositions that can be descriptive of such a singularity that make any intuitive sense. The theist idea that there was a "before" the singularity, a temporal period in which God created it makes no sense either. And neither does the idea that creation can be formulated as a non-temporal concept. "Creation" is fundamentally a before and after concept. Otherwise, it has no ideational content. "Outside of space and time" is a malarkey conglomeration of words. "Outside" is a spatial concept to begin with. "Outside of space" a meaningless oxymoron.

      There is no absolute philosophical nothing anywhere in observational experience. Every square centimeter of the known universe is permeated with electromagnetic and gravitational fields.
