    How do you keep RNA from degrading in a 24 hour period for at use temperatures when you must keep it at -112* to keep it from degrading? As time passes for the RNA to function is reduced by its instability how is that time sensitive instability overcome in a prebiotic world? Or stated this way, given this time problem what time limited step process is required to bring it from a prebiotic world to a useful functioning RNA? How does a prebiotic world purify to get homochirality forms of the molecules? How does a protein fold up into its proper three dimensional structure in a prebiotic world when the possible ways of folding are near equal to the number of elementary particles in the universe? Since chiral induced spin selectivity makes purification processes power efficient and molecule by molecule selective what mechanism process produced this required structure in sequence to operate at the limits of what Physics says is possible? Where do the interactomes come from that are needed by the RNA and ribosomes within a cell? By what steps are they made and how many different kinds are needed for a first cell to operate? What mechanism is used to divide the cell of these interactomes so that when cell finishes replication all of the interactomes needed are still in each cell? What process is used to make sure both halves are viable? Then what mechanism chooses to flip the separation sequence on thereby pinching the cell into two cells? By what specific process did the functioning codons get made that are in the RNA?

      @@thegreatbehoover788 Prerequisites to be a young earth creationist according to Lyman Stewart:
      1. IGNORANCE
      You must, without question or exception, be completely ignorant of science, logic, evolution and reality in general, to be a Creationist. Every "argument" a Creationist puts forth to "disprove" Evolutionary Theory is nothing more than a mangling of a conspiracy theory, outright lies, logical fallacies, exaggerations and misinformation. They also rely on the same, recycled, refuted dead-end arguments. There has not been one new Creationist argument recently put forth. It's still attacking radiometric dating with the abhorrent notion that decay rates can vary, without any evidence, and it's still lying about the Law of Entropy to make it seem as if it makes evolution impossible. Nothing has changed. No explanation why there is no Technetium on earth or the ratio between U235/U238, which is explained by science because the earth is 4.543.000.000 years old. They also claim that the speed of light varies to solve the problem with stars being 13.390.000.000 light years away. Then they must replace General Relativity with a new theory, and they have nothing of course, since no creationist understand cosmology or math (or basically anything).
      2. DISHONESTY
      You must be completely dishonest to purport Creationist arguments. Creationists routinely lie about thermodynamics, radiometric dating, Evolutionary Theory, speed of light, science, scientists and general scientific concepts.
      3. INEXCUSABLE INCOMPETENCE
      It's not lying if you think it's true. Many Creationists actually believe that the Second Law of Thermodynamics refutes Evolutionary Theory. This is simply stupidity, and it is totally inexcusable. Anytime someone who doesn't have a legitimate authority in science tells you that scientists are wrong because of whatever reason, you'd better check up on it before just blindly accepting it as fact. The fact that so many have been taken in by Creationist's anti science and lies is testament to intellectual laziness. It is also a testament to the serious lack in scientific education of the general populace.
      4. FERVENTLY RELIGIOUS LUNACISM
      If you believe that the bible is correct about the creation of the Universe, then you must believe that it is completely literal, as no contextualist would ever interpret a story which contradicts physical evidence and is contradicted by another story in the same book, in the same section. Light before the sun, ants have four legs and no queen, PI equals 3 etc.
      5. RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY
      If you believe that the bible is to be interpreted literally, then you believe that all other religions are wrong, and that all of their followers will forever be tortured in the afterlife. Consequently, you also must believe that it is your duty, as a Christian, to seek out and destroy all these other religions' sacred objects and defile their practices. Anyone who interprets the bible literally must also accept that racism, slavery and sexism are all the will of God.
      6. DISBELIEF IN HUMAN RIGHTS
      The bible makes it clear that humans have no rights. No one has the right to practice their own religion (except Christianity and Judaism) without punishment, and no one is allowed to say what they want to say without retribution. To do so violates some of the Ten Commandments.
      7. ANTI-DEMOCRATIC/PRO-THEOCRACY MINDSET
      The bible makes it clear that a democracy based on the will of the people is not God's preferred government. Rather, the best government is a dictatorship, enforced with terrorism, mass-homocide and "Big Brother" tactics (i.e. "God knows everything that you do").
      8. BELIEF THAT GOD IS THE ARBITER OF MORALITY
      The bible purports the massively-flawed belief that God is infallible. Even though God has been convinced to change his mind repeatedly by human beings in the bible, he is still incapable of doing wrong. This belief only reinforces the belief that humans have no rights, as we are under the watchful eye of God, who will severely punish us for minor infractions. Slavery and child-rape are promoted.
      9. BELIEF THAT ALL BRANCHES OF SCIENCE ARE CONSPIRING TO COVER UP "THE TRUTH" OF CREATIONISM
      In order to be a Creationist, you must believe that scientists are untrustworthy servants of the devil, whose agenda is to distort facts and make it seem as if Evolution is the truth, when, in reality, they're not telling us about the volumes of "facts" that the Creationists do. Scientists want everyone to believe that the Universe was caused by random chance, that there is no God, and life has no meaning (because, Evolution obviously necessitates all of these things). All branches of science that give evidence for an ancient Earth are just flunkies for the Evolutionists. Astrophysics, geology, physics, astronomy, cosmology, quantum theory, engineering, anthropology, logistics, medicine, osterology, history, ...none are credible branches of science, only beams in the support structure of Evolution.
      10. OVERALL, GENERALIZED STUPIDITY
      If you're a Creationist, you're an idiot. I don't care if you're the nicest person on Earth, have a doctorate in astrophysics, or stumped Stephen Hawking on general physics. The complete dismissal of so many branches of science, scientists' credibility, evidence in addition to the intellectual laziness and fervent religious bigotry that come with being a Creationist makes one a complete idiot. This is one blanket statement that I am not afraid to make, because it is simply true. If you find a religiously-tolerant Creationist, you've found a hypocrite. The person in question would accept the bible as literal truth on a scientific level, but would be ignoring the commandments of racism, religious intolerance and persecution that God handed down to the Israelites

    @platzhirsch4275 3 роки тому +3

    The assembly of complex molecules involves a series of enzymes that must react in a proper sequence, very often producing intermediates that are useless to the cell until the final product is formed. Evolutionists imagine that these enzymes evolve randomly, often from a duplicate gene, and that the succession of steps in the synthesis, at least often, represents the succession of steps in the historical evolution of the process (the Granick hypothesis). But forces of natural selection could not operate to favour an organism which had ‘evolved’ a series of enzymes which merely produced useless intermediates until it somehow got around to making the end product. The Calvin cycle requires eleven different enzymes, all of which are coded by nuclear DNA and targeted precisely to the chloroplast, where the coding sequence is clipped off at just the right place by a nuclear-encoded protease. In reality, as described in the preceding paragraph, none of the enzymes can be missing if the Calvin cycle is to function. It is true that many of these enzymes are ubiquitous in living systems because every living cell needs to generate ribulose phosphates for the production of RNA, but evolutionists cannot solve the problem by merely pushing it back in time.
    The assembly of chlorophyll takes seventeen enzymes.21 Natural selection could not operate to favour a system with anything less than all seventeen being present and functioning. What evolutionary process could possibly produce complex sophisticated enzymes that generate nothing useful until the whole process is complete? Some evolutionists argue that the assumed primeval organic soup had many of the simpler chemicals, and that only as they were used up did it become necessary to generate the earlier enzymes in the pathway. In The Mystery of Life’s Origin: Reassessing Current Theories, the authors set forth the good basic chemistry that demonstrates that there could never have been an organic soup, and present some of the evidence out there in the world indicating that there never was.22 Denton23 and Overman24 also cite a number of experts who suggest that there is no evidence for such a primitive soup but rather considerable evidence against it.
    Chlorophyll itself, and many of the intermediates along its pathway of synthesis can form triplet states, which would destroy surrounding lipids by a free radical cascade apart from the context of the enzymes that manufacture them and the apoproteins into which they are inserted at the conclusion of their synthesis.25 According to Asada26 ‘triplet excited pigments are physiologically equivalent to the active oxygens’, and according to Sandmann and Scheer, chlorophyll triplets ‘are already highly toxic by themselves . . . .’27 The entire process of chlorophyll synthesis from δ-aminolevulinic acid to protoporphyrin IX is apparently tightly coupled to avoid leakage of intermediates.28 Almost all of the enzymes of chlorophyll biosynthesis are involved in handling phototoxic material.29 For many of these enzymes, if they are not there when their substrate is manufactured, the cell will be destroyed by their substrate on the loose in the wrong place at the wrong time. Apel30 has cited four of the enzymes of chlorophyll biosynthesis for which this has been proven to be the case. This is a significant problem for evolutionists, who need time for these enzymes to evolve successively. Each time a new enzyme evolved it would have produced a new phototoxin until the next enzyme evolved.

      ATP synthase is an irreducibly complex motor-a proton-driven motor divided into rotor and stator portions as described and illustrated earlier in this paper (Figure 8). Protons can flow freely through the CF0 complex without the CF1 complex, so that if it evolved first, a pH gradient could not have been established within the thylakoids. The δ and critical χ protein subunits of the CF1 complex are synthesized in the cytosol and imported into the chloroplast in everything from Chlorella to Eugenia in the plant kingdom.49 All of the parts must be shipped to the right location, and all must be the right size and shape, down to the very tiniest detail. Using a factory assembly line as an analogy, after all the otherwise useless and meaningless parts have been manufactured in different locations and shipped in to a central location, they are then assembled, and, if all goes as intended, they fit together perfectly to produce something useful. But the whole process has been carefully designed to function in that way. The whole complex must be manufactured and assembled in just one certain way, or nothing works at all. Since nothing works until everything works, there is no series of intermediates that natural selection could have followed gently up the back slope of mount impossible. The little proton-driven motor known as ATP synthase consists of eight different subunits, totalling more than 20 polypeptide* chains, and is an order of magnitude smaller than the bacterial flagellar motor,50 which is equally impossible for evolutionists to explain.
      Evolution cannot account for the assembly and activation of rubisco. All attempts to reconstitute a 16-unit rubisco from any source have failed, so the assembly of rubisco must be studied in the chloroplast extracts.51 The eight large (L) subunits of rubisco are coded by the chloroplast DNA, and the eight small (S) subunits by nuclear DNA. The S subunit of rubisco is synthesized on free cytosolic polyribosomes* and maintained even during synthesis in an unfolded state by chaperones* of the Hsp70 class and their protein partners.52 When the small unit is brought to the import complex of the chloroplast, the fourteen-polypeptide chloroplast Cpn60 chaperonin protein associates with IAP100 (protein) of the import complex and can also associate with mature imported small subunits. The chloroplast Cpn60 chaperone is similar to the E. coli GroEl protein.53 After the unfolded precursor protein enters the stromal space, it binds briefly to a stromal Hsp70 chaperone protein and the N terminal targeting sequence is cleaved.54
      The large subunits of the rubisco enzyme are produced by the DNA and machinery of the chloroplast itself and stored complexed to a Cpn60 chaperonin.55,56 This chaperone protein keeps the large subunit protein from folding incorrectly, and therefore becoming useless,57 and is also necessary for the proper binding of the eight large subunits; without it they will form a useless clump.58 In many plants, the large subunits are chemically modified by specialized enzymes59 before they bind to the chaperonin protein. There is strong evidence that chloroplast Cpn60, Cpn21 and Hsp70 also participate in the assembly of the sixteen-unit rubisco complex.60 After a soluble L8 core is formed with the assistance of the chaperonin proteins, tetramers (four-part complexes) of small subunits bind to the top and bottom of the complex to form the complete enzyme.61 There are almost certainly other chaperones and chaperone-like polypeptides or lipo-proteins involved that are not yet characterized.
      How do evolutionists explain how natural selection would have favoured a protein complex the function of which was to prevent a still-useless rubisco small subunit from folding outside the chloroplast? Before it evolved a way to get the protein inside, there would be no benefit from keeping it unfolded outside. How could blind chance ‘know’ it needed to cause large subunit polypeptides to fold ‘correctly’ and to keep them from clumping? It could not ‘anticipate’ the ‘correct’ conformation before the protein became useful. And evolution would need to be clever indeed to chemically modify something not yet useful so that it could be folded ‘correctly’ when even the ‘correctly’ folded polypeptide would not yet become useful...

    Although having the presence of the correct components necessary for Life is important for one to advance the theory that Life spontaneously arose without an intelligence guiding it, there are some incredible hurdles to jump (e.g., mathematical improbability for correct sequence of well over a hundred amino acids, inexplicably resisting the 50/50 chance of inclusion of right-handed amino acids at each & every sequential position in the polypeptide chain, etc.!).
    And when we minimize these serious objections to these highly mathematically-improbable hurdles, we inadvertently advance the expectation of multiple occurrences of spontaneously generated living cells from non-living matter.
    In other words, when we minimize (or downplay) the high level of improbability of the occurrence of abiogenesis, we automatically simultaneously and equally imply the greater probability of multiple occurrences of abiogenesis.
    Furthermore, the more we demand that abiogenesis be treated as a reasonable and natural expectation (instead of an incredible improbability), the more we automatically & simultaneously increase the expectation that abiogenesis be viewed as common an occurrence as, say, extinction of a species.

For instance, non-Christian scientists believed for many years that the Universe was eternal, having no beginning. Then, a Belgian scientist (who was also a creationist) discovered evidence that the Universe did indeed have a beginning, just like the Bible had claimed for centuries. As a result, many scientists changed their belief to agree that the Universe DID have a beginning.

    Even if all the components of a cell by pure chance came into existence or copied by human efforts exactly it would not be alive. You would still have a dead cell. There is no way you can animate it to life. The interrelation of the cells need for a specific protein would demand a way for the cell to communicate with the DNA and then the DNA opening up similar to unzipping temporarily the exact spot on the strand where the RNA needed can be formed. Then it makes the protein in the shape needed to fit the place where it is needed. Then the new product must be transported to the exact place where it is necessary more efficiently than any man-made factory.

    The increasing oxygen levels can also be increased with a gradual build up of life on earth 🌎. The cambrian explosion shows a sudden and explosive increase in higher life forms and then throughout the whole cambrian period nothing else happened, the life forms didn't change, just as the life forms in the pre cambrian time. Oxygen levels increased however until the next explosive and sudden explosion of new and higher life forms. It's great to study Bats, that suddenly appeared 54 Million years ago. They suddenly appeared all over the earth in slightly different forms but without any precursors. They didn't evolve from other creatures, they just suddenly appear seemingly out of nothing. And: the Bats from 54 million years ago look just like Bats today!!!!!!!!

    A lot of the stuff he is describing can be explained through a gradual build up of life on our planet- however not through Darwinism but Design. Its clear that natural processes build up mountain's etc. Its obvious that first simple life forms where planted on earth and allowed to multiply over millions of years, including plants and photosynthesis- causing oxygen levels to rise .... then came the cambrian explosion. Suddenly. Suddenly a great diversity of life forms came into place and spread on earth. These life forms where very complex and had no precursors. They appeared suddenly. Its impossible Darwinism can Account for this. Then after these life forms spread for mullions of years the mammalian explosion occurred. Again a great diversity of life wothout precursors.

      Assuming that Life were just planted on earth, we are but postponing and moving the question of Origin of Life to somewhere else. How did it originated in that somewhere else, was it also planted there? If there is the possibility of Life originating somewhere else, then be transported here, why isn't there the same possibility of it also originated spontaneously right here? Unless that indirectly you are trying to say that Life was planted here by Higher beings who did just "created" it, in that case there is no much to be verified, since it fits a religious faith based believe. but if we were to take a more scientific and inquisitive approach to that question, Is it really totally unacceptable that Life on Planet Earth might indeed be the firsts? That no one "planted" us, but we are a by product of Billions of years of different levels of darwinian evolution, that started with simple atomic and molecular interactions that would eventually create useful genetic information, and with more time, a complex ecosystems of adaptive living creatures? Perhaps we still know too little of the Universe, our Planet and Life to assume there are better chances of Life originating out there than in here.

I dont think so especially as a critical look at abogenisis can demonstrate they darwinian theories can never explain life on earth, and all fossil records show a sudden accurance of major life forms.
      I could postulate the idea that life was planted on earth starting with simple life forms first, allowing those to spread on earth for millions of years, accounting for rise in oxygen levels, by the way. Then this intelligence set up the cambrian explosion. Again leaving this life forms again to spread over millions of years. Filling earth with these life forms. Then the mammalian explosion was set loose. Plants where allowed to spread similarly.

      @@platzhirsch4275 okay very interesting your explanation. But darwinian evolution does not intend to explain the origin of Life, it focus on the origin of biodiversity in this planet , which is something that is observable (just like we can observe man adapted species like dogs and cats that never existed before).
      And as you said, the fossil record does show "moments" of increased number of species, but it is something expected when some conditions are met that would allow an increase in populations, expansions and diversification of species, and those "moments" also mentioned sometimes as "explosions" happened over millions of years, for context the domestic "pug" has only been separated from its "wolf" like ancestors a couple of thousand years old. imagine what would millions of years do to species living in a thriving environments.
      You should also note that we don't find complex organism existing previously to simple organism, meaning that simple organism have existed before complex organism. Which implies this questions: Why the first "Life" that was planet (around 3.5 billion years ago) had to be the most simple that have ever been found? Almost as if it was somehow natural?
      In scientific environments, is not that it is purposely declined the idea that something intelligent planted Life on this planet, but since it is a very speculative idea in which there is no evidence, and lacks logical stability, as I mentioned in my previous comment, since that it would require the same questions applied to those that "planted" it here, its clearly only a strategy to postpone hard questions.
      Scientist do follow the evidence, and if its ever found evidence of something have "planted" Life on the planet, there will be within an year, a community of scientist that will be analyzing every single detail and try on give us a better understanding of what actually happened in that context.
      Therefore, I hope you understand, that since we do have very little time to be alive and study these mysteries of existence, that so much fascinates us, to some people, myself included, is unacceptable to simple postpone the search for answers don't matter how it hurt our ego, and instead choose to accept emotional and cultural engraved believes, that do not demonstrates any type of consistency, having thousands of different explanations that varies greatly according to popular cultures (like religions), individuals or groups, and the period of time they are inserted in.

      I would personally call the Evolution you describe as adaption. Somehow the DNA of a Dog is included in the wolf DNA. BUT you can never get a Wolf out of breeding dogs thus a dog cuts down on DNA and isnt an "Evolution" from a wolf. Didnt think about it like this? Ok. Please do.
      The fossils of the cambrian era appear suddenly in the sediments. Very suddenly. This period lasted some 100 million years yes, but only because it took this time for these animals to spread the earth sufficiently. There is however no transition from pre- cambrian life form to cambrian life forms, as especially the fossils in China show.
      Then came the mammalian explosion. Again abrupt and without intermediate steps.
      These ideas should encourage research into origin of life, but give new ideas about interpreting existing data. But: it cannot proof that there must have been intelligence involved in this process, it can only suggest this hypothesis as a possible answer and if we analyse all data carefully we may actually see that this is the only theory that satisfies all available data.

    • @MrMizahell
      @MrMizahell 4 роки тому

      ​@@platzhirsch4275 Hi Andreas, you are welcome, thank you as well.
      If you want to call evolution, adaption, by all means you would be correct, its just that the name Evolution attempts to indicate that we are talking about really long periods of adaptations.
      When you say that Dog DNA is "included" in the wolf DNA, I am not sure if you actually mean that a whole DNA of a dog is in the DNA of the wolf, or that as has been found and studied, that certain wolves had pieces of dogs DNA in their own, which demonstrates that they interbred at some point in the past.
      About the cambrian explosion, I like to remind you that, has been many times in the past in which science have found a mistery, a complicated question that requires heavy thinking and expensive research to eventually give the correct answer, which is neither easy nor fast process, because science is a process in which the question is very closely pursued, not only supposed or whished to be true. And real scientist actually like to find moments where things are unclear, is when real science happens, the time to dig in and see what comes out, and as they do that, sometimes they come up with hypothesis that "could" explain the findings and the results, but it only becomes a theory when it becomes confirmed.
      At the moment, there are many hypothesis trying to explain the cambrian explosion, based on highly complex scientific investigations, and as we keep searching and testing, eventually there will be an more consistent answer. But just like once, the orbit of Mercury was only explained by "God misteries" one day, if we keep doing good science, the Cambrian explosion will also be understood as well as we now known and understand every single move of Mercury orbit.
      You might ask then, why are the scientists not also exploring the hypothesis that Life was "planted" on planet Earth? And the answer is: besides the fact that evidence is non-existing, there is nothing that leads scientist in that direction.
      But I believe, that I am not alone, when I say that I would be very happy to see and read a scientific paper that realisticly presents the case for "planted" Life as you have mentioned, showing through an detailed analyses of all available data, that "planted" Life on planet Earth is the only possibility that satisfy the data. That would be super amazing kkk
      I think is also important to make it clear, that the "planted" Life possibility have not been completely discarded, and it is considered one of the possible answers, although is it is considered having a very low possibility of being the correct one, due to it having no scientific base, but be made of mostly claims that majority of scientists don't find convincing enough, neither that have sufficient information to begin testing if its either false or true. Mainly because as I mentioned before, it requires a faith like approach, and gives no directions on what should be the observations and testings to eventually prove it correct or incorrect.
      Therefore, is not because scientist have a grudge and they are not researching this, because they don't want to think outside the box or they want to hide the truth from the masses, no, it is mainly because there is not suficient evidence to even make this claims, and they do not have time to just persue any wild theory that exists, which is very unfortunate because it would be fun, but its the reality we live in my friend.

Nonetheless- much is known about synthesis of the molecules needed to form a simple replicating protocell. Much is being learned about autocatalysis and how reactions can make compounds that make more of themselves- this is not life, but is a prerequisite. Much is known about the natural occurrence of amino acids....and much is being done on studying their polymerisation.

      @@mcmanustony interesting point of view, thank you for sharing. I was educated at a mainstream college and was taught the standard narrative how billions of years ago the Big Bang happened and millions of years ago a simple cell (love that description) changed, and became something different, then that thing changed, and after a while more complex forms of life appeared and eventually men and women evolved. The narrative seemed unbelievable then and remains more unbelievable as each year passes and better information surfaces. In the end, it’s quite simple really; there are two options to consider, a top-down, intelligent mind/created process, or the bottom-up, mindless, no purpose, no cause, ‘survival of the fittest’ approach. That our bodies are made up of about 100 trillion cells, with something like 6 billion nucleotides inside every cell I’m not brave enough to suggest that any part of that complexity mindlessly evolved.

      @@iain5615 Nothing happens without reason, at least nothing we can observe. Everything has a cause, even the most rare accident has somewhere in its lead up, a something that caused it - and all these causes turn out to be natural occurrences. Why then, whould we believe without question (as theists do) that for SOME things we have no answer for, that god did it? Doubly so when there is zero evidence to support the assertion that god exists in the first place.
      The day that theists say where their god came from - without piffling on about their god being the only thing that needed no creation - will be the day I ask the to prove it.
      And there is plenty circumstantial evidence for natural abiogenesis, which is the best we can do right now. However, as with thunder and earthquakes, the REAL answer is out there somewhere and will be found. I'll wager it won't be 'god did it'!

    Let me skip to the main points. “We know a living cell has a genome/DNA, a functional cell membrane and a metabolism. We have absolutely no idea how any of this could have developed. In fact, we cannot even explain how the first proteins occurred. We have no clue about how to solve chirality, how RNA was made and not degraded…..we know nothing”……sorry for wasting everyone’s time. Best wishes, Jack.

      @@mcmanustony My education is in Biochemistry so I’m confident that organic chemistry never gets to biochemistry without a guided hand. Proteins are required to make DNA, Ribosomes are required to make proteins, Ribosomes are made up of about 60 different proteins and DNA is first required to code for all of the proteins. None occur in nature outside of a living cell, none do anything without the other two, all three are required to make each other. All three must be created at the same time in the same place……all life has all three….that is the absolute proof of creation. Nobody can dispute that.

      @@mcmanustony Did you really just say that nonsense out loud? RNA absolutely cannot be spontaneously synthesized….who told you that nonsense? By the way, you do realize RNA is very unstable and degrades in a matter of days outside of a living cell so cannot be an early form of DNA. Nobody takes an RNA world seriously because of that. Aren’t educated are you now?
