The Sycamore Tree , If it evolved , how did it gather information?

Question

enabling it to develop a seed which utilises airodynamics , balance ,weight , gravity and flight to disperce its seed

Answer 1

It doesn't need to gather information, and it doesn't need to know about any of the laws of physics. All that needs to happen is that millions of years ago, a proto-sycamore produced a seed that was slightly mis-shapen. Maybe this seed, because of its odd shape, floated a bit further away from the tree when it fell. Because of this, the tree was able to propagate itself a tiny bit better.

Over the course of the next hundreds of thousands of years, the trees descendants produced the same sort of seeds - but occasionally some trees produced seeds that were slightly more oddly shaped, each time accidentally being a bit better at flying, and therefore a bit better at propagating.

Of course at the same time, other descendant trees produced seeds which weren't so good at flying, but they weren't so successful and were quickly outnumbered by the trees producing seeds that were good at flying.

So, over the course of thousands or millions of years, a series of tiny changes, one after the other, produced the sycamore "propeller" that we see today. No information-gathering required.

Answer 2

Here is a way to understand it.

Say a hundred people start gambling at roulette. They bet all their stake each time they bet.

Soon, there are only 50 people left with money.
Then, later, just 10.

Finally, you show up and there are just 5 people left, all with huge piles of money. You ask, "How is it possible for these 5 people to be so good at roulette?"

You never see the other 95 who have lost and left.

Answer 3

Genetic mutations occur. One by one these mutations made the tree better for survival. Eventually the sycamore as we know it evolves!

Answer 4

You asked this before, and were given perfectly good answers.

I would suggest you learn about evolution before you concentrate on one aspect of it.

life forms do not "gather information". The ones that get it wrong simply become extinct, so we only see the successful ones - the "lucky" ones, if you like.

Then (some) of us say - oh look, proof god exists.

Answer 5

I am going to take ten billion pennies and throw them up in the air.
When they come down, I am going to throw away all the ones that didn't come up heads.
Then I am going to take the pennies I have left, and repeat.. and repeat... and repeat.
Eventually I am going to be left with:
a) pennies that are unbalanced and always fall heads up
b) pennies that were accidentally manufactured so that they have two head sides and no tails!

studied very hard for many years at tree college.
