Evolutionists. A scientific explanation please.?

Question

No recorded mutations have ever caused anything new or good? Only diseases and bad things? Explosions (big bang) have never caused more order, only destruction. How did living organisms come from non-living oganisms? If the universe is winding to an end, what was it's beginning?

Answer 1

Oh dear! You really should try reading some science instead of creationist poppycock.

Mutations are frequent, most are benign, some are malignant, some are beneficial. It is the benign and beneficial mutations that account for the variations in organisms. Read "29+ Evidences for macroEvolution"
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/

The Big Bang was not an explosion, this is a common mistake perpetuated by creationists. You can read all about the Big Bang here: "Evidence for the Big Bang"
http://talkorigins.org/faqs/astronomy/bigbang.html

You will have to define life before you can make claims about living and non-living things. Are viruses alive? Most would argue they are not. Are prions alive (responsible for mad-cow disease and other diseases)? No scientist would argue that they are and yet prions and viruses are part of living organisms and replicate themselves. There is an interesting paper about the origin of life here:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html

If you were to read the papers I have suggested, you might still be a creationist afterwards but at least you will be a better informed creationist.

Answer 2

You're touching on a lot of topics. First, most mutations are fairly benign, some are detrimental, and some are statistically neutral. Typically in nature the detrimental ones get deselected and beneficial ones get passed on to the offspring. Every life form you see is the result of billions of generations of mutations that have been selected by the environment. So you are critically wrong with this point.

Typical explosions do tend to increase entropy, i.e., disorder. However, the Big Bang, despite its name, is not an explosion in any common sense. It was a particularly unique event in our universe. With the immense amount of energy that it released, it did in fact result in vast order - basically our universe, which is kept orderly by the 4 fundamental forces resulting from the big bang: electromagnetism, gravity, the strong force and the weak force. So you are wrong here too.

Living beings came from non-living "things" by possessing 2 simple properties: the ability to shun disruptive forces, and the ability to replicate with slight variations. The first property manifests itself today as an organism's ability to survive in its environment, whether by running, killing, making alliances, or whatever. The second property manifests itself today as a species' ability to reproduce and propagate. We see this with every birth or seed or spawn or bud or egg or spore or whatever.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Your assumptions are in error. Certainly most changes in the genetic code will be for the worse, but many useful varieties of plants have resulted from mutations. There is also evidence of beneficial genes in small human populations that appear to be the result of mutation.

There are many ways in which random processes create increased order - think of crystals.

It's also incorrect to think of the Big Bang as an explosion.

The scientific explanation for all this is called cognitive dissonance. Religious fundamentalists, faced with the prospect of going to hell if they accept the evidence that the world presents them with, misrepresent and misinterpret science to try to reconcile their beliefs with reality.

Answer 4

No, you're completely wrong.

Classic beneficial mutation study:
http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/98/20/11388

Ultrasound is used to create chemicals by causing air bubbles to form and collapse in a number of microscopic explosions. Besides, the explosion from the big bang did not create anything. It merely distributed the mass and energy which then condensed. Another classic random system resulting in the formation of orderly structures is called a snowstorm.

Answer 5

Language has been attributed to a mutation that allowed us enough control to make an amazing variety of sounds. This is a precursor to written language.

If you aren't willing to study evolution yourself, just be lazy and leave it at that. If God can't do anything except what you can describe him as doing, just lack faith and leave it at that. I've never met anyone with so little faith in God as creationists / creation 'scientists'. You guys have to tell him EXACTLY what he's capable of doing.

Answer 6

evolution is correct and thats a fact.
not an expert but i know its true, it makes a lot of sense and a biologist has proven creationism to be wrong and the only people who doubt evolution are people who believe in creationism (generally)

Answer 7

Why do you bother people and ask for them to prepare for you a scientific explanation? From your post, it is far from clear that you could possibly appreciate one. I wonder what your purpose is.
