K0HB:
Yes, I have read a couple of books on the subject--most of the authors strike me as being rather weak in math and especially in the area of probability and statistics--quite possibly lotus-blossom-eaters. First, just for starters, to get all the necessary elements formed into the complex amino acids to create the RNA is preposterous--let alone the actual creation of the RNA (and this would only be a virus--unable to replicate on its own.) Next, to get a complex DNA structure would be another extraordinary event, for the proper structure (organism) to be present and form around the DNA AND be able to use the DNA would be another extraordinary event, for this organism to be able to replicate would be one more extraordinary event, for just one of these single celled organisms to go "multi-cellular" would be one more extraordinary event, then for each cell to develop specialized functions--another extraordinary event, for them to form complete organs handling a specific function--another extraordinary event.... AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO GO RIGHT ON UP TO WHERE THE ORGANISM IS CAPABLE OF SELF-REALIZATION, COMPLEX THOUGHT AND CONSIDERS ITSELF TO HAVE A SPIRIT! .... as you can quickly see, this chain of impossible, seemingly endlessly numbered and impossible links of extraordinary events to have all occurred, all at just the right time, all in just the proper order is just too mathematically impossible to have any believe but those willing to believe the most preposterous impossibility which could ever be devised... in plain english--IT IS IMPOSSIBLE--END OF STORY! Those books on the subject, start quickly to, toss around these CHAINS of extraordinary events without the slightest considerations to the mathematical possibilities, which end up being NON-EXISTENT! I had the fortune to have a mathematics professor who I worked with at the university, who obtained a grant and was into computing these possibilities, he WAS an atheist... and that is a true story! In fact, it was this professor who first told me to look either for angels or aliens--before he finally settled on the angels (intelligence NOT from a mud puddle as you could ever find upon an earth-like planet)... I just flat do not know what to think, it is all too impossible... perhaps the answers are out there... X-Files-theme-plays-in-the-background .... or, perhaps there is a very simple explanation we just have not thought of--yet... any guess is as valid as another...

Are you from Kansas? Evolution is (in my mind) too fuzzy a term, because it has become popularized to imply a lock-step progression from "lower to higher". I subscribe to the basic premise ("natural selection") but I believe it to be a stochastic process in which some randomly scattered "lucky breaks" occured. For a good read, go to a good university library and check out "The Blind Watchmaker" by Richard Dawkins (Oxford) and "The Mind of God" by Paul Davies (University of Adelaide). 73, de Hans, K0HB |
