Is Modern Theory as “Rock-Solid” as Some Claim?
A secular non-creationist biologist in a 2009 PBS video discussing and detailing some of the most recent scientific evidence, stated that evolutionary theory as generally believed today will likely be mostly if not entirely discarded within fifty years. And a secular molecular biologist in the same video stated that life is so overwhelmingly complex at the atomic and sub-atomic (quantum) levels, it is irrational to pretend that science can ever have a legitimate theory of life functionality and origins.
These were two currently practicing professional secular biologists merely trying to go by the evidence, stating their professional opinions in a public evolutionary science video. This video was not produced by creationists, did not feature a single creationist’s opinion, nor did it mention either God, creation or intelligent design. More significantly, discoveries since then have caused many scientists and educators to call for a complete re-write of biology 101, underscoring what these scientists stated in this 2009 video to be correct.
According to biologist James Shapiro: “Genome change arises as a consequence of natural genetic engineering, not from accidents. . .Given the exemplary status of biological evolution, we can anticipate that a paradigm shift in our understanding of that subject will have repercussions far outside the life sciences. . .” And, to quote evolutionary biologist Eric Bapteste of Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris: “We have no evidence at all that the tree of life is a reality”.
According to a 2009 article on the current state of evolutionary theory published in “The Guardian”: “Genetic tests on bacteria, plants and animals increasingly reveal that different species crossbreed more than originally thought, meaning that instead of genes simply being passed down individual branches of the tree of life, they are also transferred between species on different evolutionary paths. The result is a messier and more tangled web of life”. And, according to British biologist Denis Noble of Oxford University, who has called for a complete revision of evolutionary theory, “the paradigms for genetic causality in biological systems are seriously confused”.
According to a 2010 article by author and British journalist Oliver Burkeman published in The Guardian: “Epigenetics is the most vivid reason why the popular understanding of evolution might need revising, but it’s not the only one. We’ve learned that huge proportions of the human genome consist of viruses, or virus-like materials, raising the notion that they got there through infection — meaning that natural selection acts not just on random mutations, but on new stuff that’s introduced from elsewhere.
Relatedly, there is growing evidence, at the level of microbes, of genes being transferred not just vertically, from ancestors to parents to offspring, but also horizontally, between organisms. The researchers Carl Woese and Nigel Goldenfield conclude that, on average, a bacterium may have obtained 10% of its genes from other organisms in its environment.”
Natural selection claims of changes due to “random mutations”, based on modern genetic evidence unknown to Darwin, may be partially if not entirely wrong, thanks in no small part to evidence demonstrating that microbes living within macro-organisms can change their own DNA, in turn inducing changes in visible macro forms of life once assumed to be “random”. As recent genetic and other discoveries indicate, what may appear to be random to scientists initially may in fact, not be random from a larger and better understanding and perspective.
According to newly evolving science: The discovery that squid edit their own genes “provides another jolt to the ‘central dogma’ of molecular biology, which states that genetic information is passed faithfully from DNA to messenger RNA to the synthesis of proteins. In 2015, Rosenthal and colleagues discovered that squid ‘edit’ their messenger RNA instructions to an extraordinary degree — orders of magnitude more than humans do — allowing them to fine-tune the type of proteins that will be produced in the nervous system.” Such evidence as discussed in this and the preceding paragraph directly contradicts Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, as to how and why life adapts and changes.
It is more than fair to inquire of any scientist or anyone else using terminology such as “random”, “unguided”, “natural” “totally by chance” and similar non-verifiable inventions unworthy of the least plausible science fiction: Who among us has traveled beyond our universe and looking down, scientifically verified and determined beyond any rational or even slightly reasonable doubt, that what we on earth can perceive and otherwise detect, is indeed a result of random, unguided, “totally by chance”, natural processes?
Why would anyone invent such non-verifiable quacker-jackery, why would anyone confuse such nonsense with science and more alarmingly, why would anyone living in the 21st Century believe them?
