    One of my favorite personal examples is when I walked on the beach and found 100 rocks, 20 different kinds, assembled in perfect order (they had numbers painted on them). I first assumed they were the result of an intelligent being, and a secondary assumption is that they were assembled by random natural forces of wind, water, maybe a squirrel (a smart one). I told my friend that the possible combinations for these rocks are 1:10^130, or by accident 1 in 10^130. There are 10^80 molecules in the universe (guestimate), so that's a big number, actually an impossible number. Yet my friend ridiculed my hypothesis of an intelligent being: "Of course, naturalistic forces are a far better hypothesis!" I shrugged my shoulders, thinking about one protein molecule, one of many that would be necessary to manufacture one living cell. Such a molecule with 100 amino acids (20 different kinds) have the same odds as our rocks. Some amino acid chains are 1000 or more; none less than 50. That's for each protein molecule, a rather big miracle fro each molecule. I would not bet my life in a cosmic casino that one molecule would form by itself, let alone one living cell. I would put all my chips on Infinite Intelligence/Power ... ie God.

      Not just evolution, but the reason Richard Dawkins can dare to speak about evolution, but not the creation of the Universe, isn't because he's a biologist. He as well as everyone in science knows that ID of the universe can't be explained away, even if Darwinian Evolution (specifically) is true. God could make humans evolve from a LCA but religions say He didn't do that (that doesn't mean evolution didn't happen at all though), but science can't answer who designed the universe, or our solar system so well. And the fact that humankind has not yet been destroyed by a huge asteroid, even though the dinosaurs were destroyed by an asteroid, or something. Gives me pause for thought. This is not an argument against any particular theory, just saying.

      Not so. Subatomic particles have been shown to spontaneously appear and disappear in a vacuum.
      But it's patently illogical to state that:
      Since something can't possibly come from nothing,
      it was obviously created by something that came from nothing.
      That is a religious convenience and nothing that has any legitimate scientific merit.

      These scenarios are similar to that old debate about that featured Thomas Huxley's chimpanzees' typing forever on a typewriter and coming up with a verse in the bible. Optimal conditions. The problem with such models are they often assume that information is put in and remains in, with no feature that destroys the information and hardware. In real life physical systems decay and can no longer receive information, the locks themselves may stop working. The body is the same.
      I remember trying to teach my little boy (then about 4 years old) letters, numbers and images. I was using a white-board and washable-markers and every time we did something on the board, he took great pleasure in erasing it. After about 30 minutes we where left with a just white board.

    • @DonswatchingtheTube
      @DonswatchingtheTube 6 років тому

      You've missed the point. On the contrary, the final condition of the white-board is relevant and more realistic. That's like arguing that a cell came about step-by-step but is irrelevant to the sum of its parts and the information contained in it. While the white-board held the information, the information was predetermined in intelligent minds and directed onto the board. Your argument is replacing the white-board as a place to store information with the human brain.
      That still wasn't the point. The point is an element that writes and one that deletes. Not one only writes and retains information, which is not realistic. Also, how the statistics of the video are based on optimal conditions, which are unlikely even given optimal conditions.

    Consider point mutations, even when a single nitrogenous base is misplaced in a long DNA molecule, a number of diseases may appear. This fact suggests that functional DNA sequences must be built right at once, so that proteins and enzymes work propperly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_mutation ; consider then when a protein has more than one domain, I wonder what are the odds that highly specific sequences of DNA could be assembled correctly in the first attempt by chance... what is more, a number of enzymes are necessary to perform tasks like adding ATP to amino acids; the correct sequence of nitrogenous bases and amino acids must be assembled to build tRNAs, then there is the complex constitution of Ribosomes, the "machinery" necessary to build proteins. I don't believe that such precise arrangement could be assembled by chance, so that thousands of nitrogenous bases could be arranged in the correct sequence and then endure long enough to "meet" other sequences and buid multi domain proteins. These are a few reasons why I don't believe in the theory of evolution.

    2:00 Dr. Stephen Meyer is clearly wrong on one key point (not everything) and he should know better. His bio says he's a geophysicist. I was a Senior Exploration Geologist with British Petroleum. He talks about the "Cambrian explosion" and how a myriad of life forms arose abruptly. That is correct. Dr. Meyer then says "you find no fossil evidence of the ancestral forms (in the Upper Precambrian rocks located stratigraphically below the Early Cambrian rocks). That is also correct.
    His implication to the novice is that these advanced Cambrian life forms just appeared overnight. Where Dr. Meyer is terribly wrong is his implication. Any non-geoscientists listening to his talk would surely miss this critical point. Allow me to explain in simple terms.
    Most of the Upper Precambrian rocks in the world are missing. They are gone. The "gap" between the older Precambrian and younger, overlying Cambrian strata is called the "Great Unconformity." Rocks of this age are missing all over the world. For example, 2 to 2.5 billion years of sedimention are missing between the Cambrian strata in Canada and the underlying Precambrian rocks that make up the Canadian Shield. Therefore all fossils deposited between that mid- to late-Precambrian and Early Cambrian times have been eroded away. If - and that is a big if - there were any intermediate animal microfossils deposited prior to the Cambrian Explosion, they have long since been eroded away and lost to history.
    Why are these rocks missing? How did this happen?
    The current thinking is that Earth's landmass formed one large supercontinent called Rodinia during the Mezoproterozoic. Rodinia was located along the equator around 1.2 billion years ago. Something happened around 750 million years ago and tectonic forces (presumably) caused Rodinia to break apart. During the Cryogenic Period (720-635 million years ago) the Earth cooled dramatically and sea levels dropped by as much as 600-700 feet. It is thought that ice covered much if not all of the Earth. Ice is one of the most effective agents of erosion. It's likely that ice glaciers several miles thick covered much of the Earth for tens of millions of years. The subsequent massive glacial erosion scoured away any sedimentary rocks with the ancestral fossils of the Cambrian explosion lifeforms. Dr. Stephen Meyer should know this. If Dr. Meyer would have given this talk to the professional geologists working at BP in San Francisco when I did, he would have been humbled and his career advancement severely impacted.
    Intelligent Design - in a different form - is highly probable in my opinion. So I am not opposed in principle to Dr. Meyer's lecture, but his implication used to support his argument is completely terribly misleading to non-experts. I welcome you to please do your own research and cross-check my comments. You will find them to be substantially accurate. There are many professional journal papers published that present and discuss the precise arguments that I have shared here. Good luck.

    For a start, Darwin was a pioneer of evolutionary science, yet those pushing a religious agenda attack him over nitpicking points, even when they acknowledge that Darwin himself expressed certain doubts in his theory as would be expected in such a scientifically primitive age. Test all theories from Hippocrates to Newton to Tesla and you will find deficiencies but it must be remembered that most of these occurred through the primitiveness of the technologies of the day. Don't assume for one minute that because we are now in the 21st Century that our DNA sciences are not still floundering in a scientifically primitive age.
    Animals have two kinds of DNA. The one we are most familiar with, nuclear DNA, is passed down in most animals by male and female parents and contains the genetic blueprint for each individual. The genome-made up of DNA-is constructed with four types of molecules arranged in pairs. In humans, there are three billion of these pairs, grouped into about 20,000 genes.
    It's fair to say no one has a full understanding of DNA and how evolution really works. If God was trying to construct humans in His own image he certainly took his sweet time cranking up the complexity of his creation. Around 3 billion years.

      -the Major Religions of the world now accept evolution as fact.

      “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
      Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
      Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

      B Miller, how many scientists accept evolution as fact is irrelevant, and hardly to be considered as "proof." But if you believe what they tell you and you have that much faith in them, that is your prerogative. You may place your faith in men; I will continue to place my faith in God.
      As for your claim that Epicurus "disproved God," that is a bizarre statement. As skeptics are fond of saying, believers cannot prove God's existence. It stands to reason that God also cannot be disproven. The common excuse skeptics use for being unable to disprove God's existence is that you cannot prove a negative; i.e. you cannot prove that something doesn't exist. Even Richard Dawkins admitted that he cannot disprove God's existence. You certainly can't disprove God with philosophical quotes that rely entirely on arguing against God's character. The Epicurus quote is easy enough for anybody to refute.
      Question: "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?"
      Answer: He is both willing and able, whenever He chooses. He is not, however, obligated to perform at our command.
      Question: "Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent."
      Answer: God has given us free will, but with the privilege of free will there are also consequences. God can intervene, but if an individual thinks that means we should have a world free of consequence, they are very mistaken. We live in a fallen world, a world that mocks God, ignores God and blasphemes God, yet some people call Him malevolent when He does not prevent the consequences of our choices, choices which are contrary to God's will and plan for our lives.
      Question: "Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?"
      Answer: Honestly, does one really need to ask such a simple question? Evil comes from the hearts of men and is a consequence of our fallen state. Ultimately, evil comes from satan, but we must accept our blame for choosing to follow evil rather than obey God.
      Question: "Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”Answer: Again, He is both willing and able to intervene. This does not obligate Him to intervene all the time, or whenever we think He should. We call Him God because He is the maker of Heaven and Earth.
      The Epicurus quote is not particularly intellectual, though it tries desperately to seem that way. If you want to "disprove God" with philosophical psychobabble you should look elsewhere. You'll still be wasting your time, of course, but your own time is yours to waste.
      As for your referencing Josef Fritzl, that point is beyond bizarre. Apparently you believe that Fritzl disproves God's existence. Weird. Just....weird.

      As for doctors, my father is a doctor. Why you jump to the assumption that I would not go to a doctor since I don't believe in evolution is a logical contortion that I won't pretend to understand, but it's obvious that presumptuousness is one of your flaws.
      Not interested in Zeus or how many followers he had. Using that as an excuse to reject God is not particularly wise. If you want to follow men and worship at the altar of man, that is your right. God will allow you to make your own decision. You do still have time to reconsider. Time is getting short, however.

We didn't come from monkeys, we share a common ancestry with other primates such as chimpanzees. The evidence supporting this is overwhelming, we have the skeletal remains of multiple human likes species going back a few millions years.

    His student's reply to his question about giving a computer new function (7.20) is not the only option. It may have been the only answer we knew about at the time he was asking but it's no longer so. What you can give your computer now in order for it to demonstrate new function is parameters, the ability to adapt/vary its own program and objectives. Computer programs can then develop their own functions and strategies that are neither the direct result of programming by us nor the result of any specific intent by us. They can "evolve" function that we haven't envisioned. So the assumption that there is intentional programming behind our creation turns out to be premature.
    Given its past failure rate I would suggest that the desire to fill gaps in our knowledge when we "feel" like there's no other answer should be resisted at least a little.

Whatever new function comes out of it, especially if it's the desired function, could not have happened if YOU didn't actually do something to the computer.

    Someone said evolution cannot be the mechanism by which life came to be what it is today, because the odds against a protein forming by chance is 10 to the 164th to 1. To that I say, the odds of a particular arrangement of leaves on the ground being there at a particular moment in time is far lower, and yet, I walk out to my yard and there it is. It didn't take 100 billion years for that to occur and that IS random. While a single mutation may be a random occurrence, nature selects to keep the ones that work, thereby improving the odds greatly that a certain beneficial combination will accumulate in a genome.
    If you try to guess a 60 digit number sequence, and each time you fail to guess all 60 correctly and in the right order, you simply are told "wrong" , the odds of you ever guessing all 60 at the same time are one in 10 to the 60th power. That's 10 followed by 60 zeros, to one. . But if every time you get one of the 60 right, you are allowed to keep that one and then try to guess the rest, you will absolutely arrive at the correct answer in no more than 600 tries.
    Using the math wrong is a sure sign of either a misunderstanding of science, or an intentional straw-man.

They proposed that finding the right combination to form a specific protein is like hitting the lottery with a 164 digit number sequence . But in nature, protein formation is not a random draw of 164 digits over and over until by chance the combination comes out. In nature the process is guided by natural selection. Proteins are not randomly assembled by chance. They are copied from the code on the RNA molecule that was put there by the DNA molecule, DNA is constantly evolving through random mutations and sequencing errors during the copying process. Each variation either produces the ability to make beneficial proteins or not beneficial proteins. Nature then selects between then by rewarding beneficial protein formation with survival and reproduction of it's host DNA. The point that is lost by these people is that nature doesn't have to guess all 164 digits right at once, because it is allowed to keep every correctly chosen digit, and guess again on the rest. Regardless of how many are wrong, the right choices will accumulate over time until the sequence that works becomes a permanent addition to the list. You can get a 164 digit number right in no more than 1,640 tries, by testing each one no more than 10 times to arrive at the correct choice, providing you are told which ones are right and you can keep them. You see, in the lottery, the sequence is different every week. In Nature, the sequence of a working protein remains the same, making it much easier to guess..

It is how such complexity of the simplest organism known could come together only by chance to form the birth of life itself.
    Dr. Meyers proves it takes FAR less faith to believe in God than to actually believe this complexity could come together by chance. Even with a great deal of time! We absolutely have a Creator to whom we are morally obligated. It is that obligation that gives the evolutionist such impetus to concoct their means of by-pass surgery: "All by chance, no more God.

    I find the "DNA as proof of evolution" argument fascinating but it has two fundamental flaws. 1. Saying DNA is similar across species has the same problem as the entire macro evolution mechanism conundrum. Yes, DNA might be "similar" but the question of HOW those similarities occur in a way consistent with replication isn't sensical. 2. Further, we have no way to even assess what "similar" looks like because we have nothing to compare it with. There's not, for instance, some other planet we've studied that contains its own unique species and DNA patterning that we can compare Earth to. We're basically looking at the only set of life-filled planets we have access to, looking back in time and drawing conclusions based on what we observe but without mechanism and repicatable results. This is a basic "correlation is not causation" issue. It MIGHT be but we cannot know that. My problem with Darwinism is the atheist slant. Vehement atheist slant.

      2) DNA SEQUENCES of the species of this planet map out in comparison with each other to a nested hierarchy (not a simple hierarchy that can be made by grouping things by one or a few characteristics, but is a tree with non-recursive, non-intersecting branches that results by default from descent with modifications).
      The degrees of similarity and differences of these sequences is predictable to a high degree of accuracy due to the reliability of the theory of evolution when applied to the mapping.

      Try to answer these same questions if you assume the first sentence (the claim) is not true. For example what happens if "changing the code" may not require having an explicit intelligence (coming from "outside") and plan? Say the intelligence has also evolved (and keep evolving) in that code? If you try this you may find different answers to all these questions - for example evolution may not require an outside reason (a why or a need) as that can just emerge in the process. Possible process that could help this "emerging need" is selection and adaptation among some other things. If then you check, from literature, what evolution theory is than you may find that your proposed claim is negative.

    18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
    19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
    20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
    21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
    22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
    23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

    Many people fail to understand that evolution, i.e. process of evolution, is a fact, but in the same time, this process is totally powerless in creating higher life forms, as required by the theory of evolution. Higher life forms are characterized by novel proteins, organs, molecular machines, and body plans, that were nonexistent in the lower life forms, such as first self-replicating cells. The theory of evolution holds that the above mentioned process was able to repeatedly produce such novelty in a short period of time. Namely, according to the theory, at the beginning of the Cambrian period, in an interval of 20 million years or less, the process of evolution resulted in the explosion of animal diversity with multiple feats of anatomical and physiological novelty. In an evolutionary blink of an eye, most major animal phyla were fully developed. Recently, the “big bang” of bird evolution has been mapped, revealing that almost all of the modern groups of birds evolved in a small window of less than 10 million years. So evolution must have happened extremely fast and produced novelty in a short period of time. Finally, based on 53-million-year-old fossils of whale-like, semi-aquatic mammals, scientists had thought mammals gave rise to whales in a process that took 15 million years. The new find suggests it took just 4 million years. So again, in an evolutionary blink of an eye the evolution process must have produced a lot of novelty to turn a terrestrial mammal to a fully aquatic marine mammal.
    However, the observation clearly shows the complete powerlessness of this process. For e.g. in the last 300,000 years, the variation part of the evolution process produced more than 100 billion different Homo sapiens genomes. But has this enormous diversity caused humans to start to develop some new, distinct organs, molecular machines, or body plans that will occupy ecological niches humans previously could not occupy, i.e. enable the selection part of the evolution process to act on them? Well, obviously not. After an enormous number of different genomes produced, humans are anatomically, morphologically and physiologically practically identical, without any traces of new structures starting to develop. The same is true for the E.coli long-term evolution experiment, which is the longest running microbial evolution experiment. After more than 67,000 generations of E. coli, which is the equivalent to over one million years of human evolution, not a single, new and distinct structure was created. Most of the changes involved streamlining the genome, deleting genes no longer needed, or reducing protein expression, with one change being the breaking of a repressor switch which caused citrate-uptake pathway to turn on. So, both humans and E.coli have undergone a lot of evolution, but nothing new was created. This clearly shows that the fact of evolution has nothing to do with the validity of the evolution theory. The evolution process is indeed factual the same as other natural processes, be it: fog, thunder, tornadoes, decomposition, wave propagation, erosion, etc. But natural processes, including evolution, are totally powerless in creating new functional things. Many educated people fail to understand the distinction between the evolution process (fact) and the evolution theory (human idea about what the evolution process can and cannot do), which is why they hold irrational beliefs about the enormous creation powers of a mere natural process that is in reality totally powerless.

Take a basic pc, programme it produce a random arrangement of 26 letters and keep producing them until it gets a “p” in the first position. That’s a 1 in 26 chance, so it won’t take long. A pc with low processing power could easily produce 10 arrangements per second, so it’s get the first letter right in around 2.5 seconds. Then lock in that first letter and keep producing random strings until the second letter is an “s”. That’s another 2.5 seconds. And on it goes. 26 x 2.5 = 65. So in its over a minute, that 26 letter word has been spelt by a mindless process. And that is exactly how evolution works; it’s not constantly starting from scratch. It effectively saves its progress and builds from there (that’s an analogy, not to be taken literally).

      Nope, that's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying anything really, it's the overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that's saying that tiny incremental changes add up to make large changes. This is a scientific fact, whether you like it or not, whether you understand it or not, whether it contradicts your religion or not, whether it frightens you or not. It is a fact. The example often used is the development of the eye. Surely, to be of any use, an eye must be fully formed, but how could an eye just appear due to genetic mutation? Well, it didn't. It developed incrementally. Imagine a creature with no vision at all, like a worm for example. Due to a random genetic mutation, a worm develops a cell which can detect differences in the amount of light. This worm has an advantage above other worms, because it can "see" when a predator is looming over it, for example. The advantage means this genetic mutation gets passed on to more worms, and becomes more and more prevalent. Another mutation occurs which means the worm can not only detect differences in the amount of light, but also the direction that the light is coming from. This worm has a new advantage, in that it can use the direction of light to navigate, for example, which may allow it to forage further away and get fresher food. And so on and so on, over vast amounts of time, tiny incremental changes add up to make big changes. There are creatures that live today which effectively have partly-developed eyes. Look it up. Also, "your" means your. "you're" means you are.

    • @Mark-Stone

      So you meant "your saying" as in a saying that I own? is that what you meant? Doubtful, because a saying is a phrase or a piece of colloquialism, which I didn't write. You can write "NONE" in upper case, underlined, in bold, in whatever font you choose. It's still wrong. That you are unaware that there are many tests to show evolution works, and experiments that can be carried out, is irrelevant to their truth. Start simple, with selected breeding, which you can do yourself. Go to a pet shop, and buy a bunch of rabbits. Choose the one you think is cutest. Why is it cutest? Perhaps you like the shape of it's ears. So, keep breeding your rabbits, and every time you see one with ears the shape you like, keep it. Every time one has ears that you don't like, set it free. Keep doing this and you will start to notice that more and more rabbits are born with ears shaped how you like. The shape of rabbits ears is genetically driven. Random mutations cause rabbits to have marginally different shaped ears. By only breeding the ones with ears that you like, you have acted as a force to favour the genes for those ears. You have done the job that natural selection does in nature. You have just demonstrated that evolution theory works, is evidenced, and is a fact.

      There is no design . You would need to explain all the “bad design” or the dysteleological argument against intelligent design .
      For example :
      the route of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is such that it travels from the brain to the larynx by looping around the aortic arch. This same configuration holds true for many animals; in the case of the giraffe, this results in about twenty feet of extra nerve.
      In humans the existence of the pharynx, a passage used for both ingestion and respiration, with the consequent drastic increase in the risk of choking.
      The human appendix is a vestigial organ with no known purpose (suggested purposes are either unproven or incidental/non-essential) and no deleterious effects come from its removal.However appendicitis, an infection of this organ, is a certain death without medical intervention.
      Almost all mammals produce the Vitamin C they require. Humans have the gene to produce Vitamin C but there is a single bit error in the gene that renders it useless.The only other mammals that have this error are the members of the primate sub-order Haplorhini, Tarsiers , New World Monkeys ( Platyrrhini) and Old World Monkeys (Catarrhini) including the family Homindae( humans and apes). You have to wonder why a creator would “create” a faulty gene in both humans and apes and leave it there .
      We also share ERV markers with chimpanzees .
      ERV markers are non coding sequences of DNA inserted into the genome of host organisms by viruses. These markers are inserted at random and are used by the virus to take over the cell and produce more viruses. Humans and chimps share 14 such ERV markers that are in the exact same location in both genomes and have the same content. The ONLY feasible way for this to happen is for our species to have a common ancestor that also had these 14 ERV markers. The odds of this occurring by chance are billions to one.
      These are all examples for evolution and not intelligent design.

    view appeared in a passage Darwin chose from William Whewell’s Bridgewater reatise
    as an epigraph for the Origin:
    But with regard to the material world, we can at least go so far as this - we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulated interpositions of Divine power, exerted in each particular case, but by the establishment of general laws. More directly, Darwin wrote near the finale of the Origin, Authors of the highest eminence seem to be fully satisfied with the view that each species has been independently created. To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual.
    (...)
    Just six months after the debut of the Origin, Darwin wrestled with the relationship between God and evolution in a letter to Asa Gray, writing that he believed in divinely designed laws with the details left to chance. ‘Not that this notion at all satisfies me’, Darwin immediately added. ‘I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton’.

      Romero Mascarenhas - I think you're the one ignorant about DNA. The DNA that carries the genetic code in virtually all life is B-DNA. This form only has nucleotides with D sugars AND right handed chirality. Only one randomly generated nucleotide base in every four will work. A single L sugar or left handed nucleotide in any gene renders the whole gene useless because it's information cannot be read by the cell and used to create a viable protein. Even a small gene is generally at least 1000 nucleotides long, and to be biologically active in the cell its nucleotides must have 100% D sugars and right handed chirality. When DNA is replicated by enzymes in a living cell they only use these kinds of nucleotides. But if DNA were to form by random chance in some molecular soup, it would almost inevitably have nucleotides with a mix of D and L sugars and right and left chirality. In fact, the probability of such a gene forming with only the correct nucleotides is 1 in 10 to the 100th power. That may not seem like a huge number, but actually it's many times larger than the estimated number of atoms in the whole universe - which is roughly 10 to the 60th power. Do the math yourself, or if you don't understand probability find someone who can explain it to you. And to make matters worse B-DNA is very stable and it has never been observed to unwind and copy itself - that's the job of an enzyme called DNA polymerase. So even if you got a usable gene by random chance every hundred billion years, it would never get replicated unless a molecule of DNA polymerase showed up in exactly the same place before the gene got destroyed through oxidation. So you can speculate that perhaps a DNA fairy swooped in and got around all these obstacles, but the sciences of biochemistry and mathematical logic say it's impossible in the universe as we know it even in billions and billions of years. DNA is amazing. You should try to learn something about it before you go around parroting the propaganda the evolutionists spout.

    The “Cambrian Explosion” is another misnomer. Prior to and for a very long time after that epoch, all of the life on earth existed in the oceans. Those life forms were very primitive and were all soft bodies creatures without hard exoskeletons or anything even resembling bones. So when they died they decomposed and there was nothing to fossilize! The “Cambrian Explosion” was simply the emergence of those life forms with a hard outer shell. Evolution progressed to the point where living organisms had the ability to take components in their environment and use them to make protective shells thus making them more able to survive against other organisms that wanted to eat them. These “shells” are what “all of a sudden” appeared in the fossile record, and making it seems like life “came out of nowhere “. These organisms were pretty successful, and divergent evolution saw that many more variations were to come. Calling this an “Explosion”, like “where did they come from” is easier when you don’t understand the whole story. Real scientists that spend their lives studying these things are the ones people should be listening to. Would you ask a mechanic how to fix your car or would you ask the guy who sells tacos how to change your alternator? Why ask a person who has dedicated their life to proving the existence of God about anything other than God? Evolutionary Biologists are not trying to disprove God. They are only interested in telling the true story of how life in the Universe has come to be. No agenda, no coverups and no lies. “ The Bible teaches us how to go to Heaven, not how the Heavens go.” Translation: When you want to know about Science talk to a Nerd, not the guy who is trying to make his book conform to reality.Take a College Level course of Evolution and really learn about this stuff before you make a decision on what you believe. Don’t just listen to a person who clearly has an agenda and educate yourself and you’ll see that there is waaay more information out there than what’s in a video like this.

    At the time of the Cambrian explosion the ecosystem was empty of large life forms. When you have a situation were there is no competition for higher roles in the food web evolution can occur at a faster rate. In a developed ecosystem an evolving life form will have to compete with the animal that already occupies that niche. Evolutionary "explosions" usually occur after mass extinctions so it is a similar story with the Cambrian.

    All the doubts raised about evolution raised in this video have been addressed and answered. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming and doubts raised about the processes of evolution typically arise from simple misunderstanding and motivated reasoning based upon religious belief.

    Evolution of life over time is like eating your soup from the floorboard of someone else's farm truck. You will have to just keep on eating with no regard to origin at all.

      You are following falsehoods. "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24
