    Many of you requested all of the 12 Days of Evolution episodes in one big video, so here it is! Share 'em one at a time, or share the whole thing… whatever feels like the natural selection.
    I hope you enjoyed this series. It was definitely a challenge (a FUN challenge, of course) to make this many videos in a short time and to pack this much information into them. I'm really interested to hear your reactions and feedback, so hit me up on social media or leave a comment below and tell me what you thought. Any other subjects you'd like to see a miniseries on in the future?
    I'll be back in January with a new video!

      +It's Okay To Be Smart I'm discussing with my friend about a task from physics.It mentions a constant force.While my friend claims that 'constant force' means that the force affects the object throughout the whole time mentioned in the task (2 seconds),I claim that 'constant force' only means that the force remains the same during its influence,not that it necessarily affects the object throughout the whole time mentioned in the task.Which one of us is right?

      Frederico Lourenço Actually,only one of us can be right.If she is right,the force affects the object for 2 seconds.If I'm right,the force affects the object for 1.5 seconds (thst's what it says in the task).Depending on the time the force affects the object,we get different solutions.

      Maria: As my biology teacher said: People who deny evolution just don't understand it
      What I find is that a lot of biology teachers often do not understand what folks are denying, and end up just assuming it is evolution they are denying. In a lot of cases, it is more the strictly natural basis of the evolution that is what is problematic for people to accept-especially in light of the fact that there is no demonstrated and scientifically-based, undirected natural bridge from physics and chemistry to the biological domain where evolution takes place. Without observations of a precursor like Abiogenesis, the evolution clearly that we observe is obviously still happening, but it cannot be confirmed to be a result of strictly undirected, natural processes-especially if it is being intelligently directed instead. And to create even more problems, Origin of Life (OOL) researchers tend to find that when they leave it up to nature to do all the heavy lifting, nature does not get over even the initial steps of Abiogenesis. But, let a living, intelligent scientist stand in the gaps and play God in a lab and direct the process, and we achieve all kinds of advancements in this area that we don’t even see nature pretending to attempt to carry out all on its own.

    • @coreybray9834
      @coreybray9834 4 роки тому +4

      Ricardo: I dont believe evolution comes out from nothing
      Well, evolution is inherent inside a system of replicators that vary the information with each emerging generation of the information being copied. And since we observe that occuring, it is evident that evolution both exists and is not emerging out of nothing. But, that is really not where the greater problem with evolution resides. The greater problem with evolution is whether or not it emerged as a result of strict unaware, unintelligent, undirected processes of blind nature, or if an intelligent, living being is what caused evolution to occur by design. And the lacking evidence for completed acts of Abiogenesis in science is not really favoring a natural form of evolution, where the fact that science always shows us evidence for Biogenesis, 100% of the time across all species, continues to suggest that life as we know it was the result of something already living.

      Nathaniel Lee nobody “blindly” believes scientists. The scientists’ job is to present the evidence, and if the evidence is sufficiently convincing and can be independently and repeatedly verified by others then it is tentatively accepted as true (I say tentatively because there is always the possibility of new data changing our ideas). Unlike religion, nobody ties their identity to scientific ideas, so changing your mind on them when new evidence does overturn outdated ideas isn’t a problem.

      I think the ones who do that is just a result from their interactions/experiences with religious people, whether directly or indirectly. Given how hard headed they are and, for example, how so many of them resort to incredibly un-proportional bitterness & rudeness almost by default, simply because you don't agree with them. It certainly doesn't leave a good impression or makes them see them in any sort of positive light.

They could be anything but even if they were humans they werent modern humans they would have been another earlier human species.

      It's kind of depressing. 99.9% of all life on Earth that has ever existed is dead. Gone forever without our help and if you count the millions of species of animals alive today and that's .1%. How many species are dead forever then? We are causing damage but does it really matter? We should try and save life but no matter what happens. Another mass extinction will occur again. It's inevitable. We're a mere bump. Life and death are in a constant struggle to outcompete the other. That's the funny thing. One cannot exist without the other so it's a never ending cycle until the universe completely dies

    What annoys me is when people ask why something happens, how something knows to do something or what the purpose or meaning of a phenomenon is. There is no reason why, the thing doesn't know to do it and there is no purpose, it just happened that way because of the specifics of the laws of physics, chemistry and biology.
    Just accept that there's no meaning, purpose or conscious reason behind things that aren't human-controlled and move on.

But the term 'evolutionary theory' does not refer to any single hypothesis, and it certainly is not guesswork. As used in science, 'theory' refers to the entire body of work on the understanding and application of a field of knowledge. When we refer to evolutionary theory, we are referring to our understanding of the mechanisms that result in biological changes in populations over time, and the use of that understanding to interpret changes and interactions of biological organisms."*

    Evolution is NEVER a long gradual process...it is always some benefit provided over a few generations that makes evolution happen. It's like saying a penny rolling down a 100 mile rode with a 2 degree incline is "often a long gradual process" No, the rolling is an immediate and continuous process the penny rolls down the hill every millisecond. This is actually an important concept to understanding evolution. Maybe say "evolution that humans can easily observe" is often a longer gradual process...but the evolution itself has to happen pretty much every generation for a while for anything to happen.

    This was a really good video. There was only one thing I think you got wrong or at least didn't emphasize enough; that being the fact that we didn't just come from apes; we ARE apes. We are just as much an ape as our ancestors that were apes. We never stopped being apes. Likewise, modern birds are descendants of dinosaurs and thus are still dinosaurs. Ancient dinosaurs from before the mass extinction event are known as non-avian dinosaurs to differentiate them from modern dinosaurs (birds). Life doesn't evolve from one thing into something else. It continues to be what it has always been, but with just more. If you take a dog and breed it in a way that it has exactly the same features as a cat, it looks like a cat, meows like a cat, has the temperament of a cat, it doesn't become a cat. It is still a dog. You can't change who you are descended from.

      how exactly is the bible "evidence"? it doesnt prove anything it claims. It was litterally just written by some clueless dudes thousands of years ago. what makes you think those random guys had more knowledge than the top scientists today? and what makes the bible more likely to be true than for example the quran?

    Loved this video, and thought it described many of the misconceptions of evolution that many creationists have very well. The only thing I'd suggest changing if you address this topic again is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, and disorder. The 2nd Law addresses the increase in entropy, not disorder (which is the commonly misapplied term creationists use).
    I've never heard the silent cricket example before - thanks! It's even more interesting that both populations resulted in silent crickets, though they took different evolutionary paths.

      +TheIronwil you gotta love the "approved by science" sign on the background there as well, as if "science" is some kind of wizard organization wielding a magic stick of truth. The word "science" comes from the Latin word "scientia" meaning "knowledge". The knowledge that would be of interest to what Newton would call an "experimental philosopher" and Whewell would call a "scientist" is of course knowledge about realities/certainties/truths/facts (these last 4 words are all synonyms).
      From wiki:
      Until the late 19th or early 20th century, scientists were called "natural philosophers" or "men of science".
      English philosopher and historian of science William Whewell coined the term scientist in 1833,...
      Whewell wrote of "an increasing proclivity of separation and dismemberment" in the sciences; while highly specific terms proliferated-chemist, mathematician, naturalist-the broad term "philosopher" was no longer satisfactory to group together those who pursued science, without the caveats of "natural" or "experimental" philosopher.
      [end wiki quote]
      “As in Mathematicks, so in Natural Philosophy, the Investigation of difficult Things by the Method of Analysis, ought ever to precede the Method of Composition. This Analysis consists in making Experiments and Observations, and in drawing general Conclusions from them by Induction, and admitting of no Objections against the Conclusions, but such as are taken from Experiments, or other certain Truths. For Hypotheses are not to be regarded in experimental Philosophy.”
      - Isaac Newton (from Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica)
      The Encyclopaedia Britannica on inductive reasoning:
      "When a person uses a number of established facts to draw a general conclusion, he uses inductive reasoning. THIS IS THE KIND OF LOGIC NORMALLY USED IN THE SCIENCES. ..."

      +Uenbg The fusion of chromosome #2 was an excellent prediction. Not sure where you were going with that one. Also, evolution isn't a "philosophy" in the sense you're meaning. It's a field of scientific study, a scientific theory, which also has several peer-reviewed scientific journals dedicated to publishing papers on this field alone. When we found that we had a different number of chromosomes than the other great apes, only this fusion would properly explain why that occurred. The fact that we found the fused chromosomes was icing on the cake.

    To answer the question of Thermodynamics and Entropy, the AdS/CFT real-time i-reflection containment connection to Bio-logical re-evolution clocking circularity quantization cause-effect needs to be demonstrated by showing the naturally occurring quantisation process of QM-TIME.
