Evolution And Adaptation- The Question Of Existence. by lawani: 3:43pm On Apr 22, 2016
Evolution and adaptation are two things that can not happen by chance. In adaptation, your DNA responds to external stimuli to become something different that will eventually result in a genotype more adaptive to the habitat. This can be shown easily. A North European that has spent 5 years doing outdoor work in Yoruba land will look remarkably different from a North European who did not leave Norway or Denmark during thesame time frame. The Nordic person working in Yoruba land will be darker than the other Nordic person by being sun tanned even within six months. That is adaptation and it would be wrong to say such happened by chance as it happened only because the Nordic person relocated to Yoruba land to be working outdoors. This changed the phenotype within a short period then the genotype by next generation. A group of Nordic people that relocated to Ilesa will after fifty generations be remarkably darker than their former countrymen if not almost phenotypically Negroid after so long even without intermarrying with the Yoruba. People who write computer programmes, who code, can easily relate with this, it should be clear to them that the phenotype and genotype change is definitely due to a programme written in by the Creator which is why it is on auto. When you are in a high sun intensity area, you eventually produce descendants who are pigmented for protection, if you move back to the temperate zones, you start losing pigmentation gradually by next generation. Just thesame way a plant in a shade will grow towards the light. It obviously is a written in programme. That is adaptation which does not change you from who you are, given any number of years, you still remain thesame specie FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT AN ECOSYSTEM NEEDS ALL ITS SPECIES. Even if you are going to change to something else, it can never happen by chance. For example, if the billions of religious human zombies of Christians and Muslims on Earth today will revert back to become normal humans as God intended, SUCH A POSITIVE CHANGE CAN NEVER HAPPEN BY CHANCE. So the idea of chance should be discarded because it is obviously a written in programme. How many generations separate the Nordic people from the Chinese from the Yoruba?. It may be up to one thousand generations of 40 years each separating the main bodies, yet we all still remain thesame specie adapted to our habitats. If we relate it to our modern production of things. If a US car production company relocates to Nigeria, they will immediately start producing cars that fits Nigerian roads.


Now, habitats do not create superior humans because if it were so, there would be evidence but no such evidence. Success is determined by God (providence). For thousands of years that other peoples of the Earth were advanced and sophisticated, Europeans remained backward and were looked down upon. The first global order or civilization to be initiated by Europeans is the present one by Great Britain. So, if Europeans, Singaporeans or Japanese were superior as many think, because of their success relative to others , they should have had that superiority even in 3000 BC but that is not the case. They overtook others only recently. So no habitat produces super people.

Evolution is about becoming another specie entirely. So far as we know, this is not possible and can never be achieved in the biological sense at least. We are in an ecosystem where all living things have a role including plants, animals, insects, preys, predators and etc and nothing will ever become another thing. They are all bounded by their DNA. A housefly can mutate, change color and etc but will never become something more advanced. Plants will never become animals and chimpanzees are not on their way to become human. They will remain chimpanzees forever. Humans have something different that other species do not have and that is the enhanced ability to create, making us the highest specie.

After the first specie emerged, it will take thousands of generations of inbreeding to achieve another permanent mutation not to talk of a new specie. So the speciation we have today branching out into millions of distinct species of plants, animals, insects, virus and etc can only happen in a highly advanced laboratory where millions of years are compressed into seconds by a team containing millions of geek engineers, programmers, philosophers, geneticist and etc. Despite compressing the years, they would still need to stimulate conditions to arrive at their desired end of producing millions of species because in any ecosystem, total reproductive isolation and other touted conditions for evolution are naturally impossible.

In short, turning a pawpaw into a human being by genetic engineering is not impossible but it is not possible to happen by chance. There must definitely be a team of creators even if unseen.


Creation, not evolution is the answer to the question of existence.

None

But I support Jesus anyway cuz the whole universe or multiverse (as Johnydon22 claimed) all belong to him.


Science best explain the creation but absolutely limited at analyzing the origin or source of the creation. Manipulating earth with technological achievements doesn't equivalent to knowing the origin of the universe.

I chose to disagree with the fact that humanity will temporarily live on earth and eternally die just like that.
If that be the case, I see no reason for making any good impacts or achievements in the world since there is no reward awaiting them.

And as for atheism, it doesn't exist in the dictionary of the Christians.


Shalom.....
