09:01 "have ditched a way of life that has nurchured their ancestors for 500,000,000 million years." There is no way he can in sincerity and truth make this statement. He doesn't know. He is speculating that these ice fish had at one time red blood cells and the. Through time and random mutations lost the ability to produce the red blood cells. We can not know with full certainity what happened 5 minutes ago unless we witnessed it. He was not there nor was anyone else. Pure speculation and lies.
1:25 . . . In the late 1920's the whale stocks of the North Atlantic had been fished out . . . " Translation: In the late 1920's we'd killed so many whales in the North Atlantic there weren't enough left to make a profit.
Compsci Conference is goona be expansive this year with you all. I always wanted to get 2 nfl players to thorw balls over a conference and soeed test thrm with lazers too.
Pretty interesting topics in evolutionary biology .I do believe that SJG should be smiling from above, even without possessing any mutated violet opsin gene looking at you conferencing,further nodding in appreciation for your endeavours and your team collaborators evo devo prowess
Seth is one of my favorite people ever. I'm late to the party, but I just ordered this book and I'm very excited to read it. What a great conversation!
Evolution: The science of bleeding masturbation, unlike the real HARD sciences of Physics and Chemistry. The C-UNTS working in evolutionary science are only after the fecking funding grants. That is about all the C-UNTS care
Again, another example of the decay of a system being called evolution. The icefish turned off a mechanism for making red blood cells. Let me know when you find a fish that CREATES a new system that MAKES red blood cells.
Saw this movie last night. I was frustrated that the makers completely neglected to talk about Pioneer 10, which was the first probe to take photos of Jupiter. The documentary appeared to suggest that prior to the Voyager program, the only images we had of Jupiter and Saturn were shaky ones taken through a telescope.
RU-vid algorithms.... I click on literally every video featuring Seth or Sean (both Sean Carrolls, actually), and they suggest this half a year after it got uploaded?
neo-Darwinism runs on lucky accidents. Some argue that spontaneous genetic mutations conferring adaptive advantage have yet to be observed. That is disputable, but even the most ardent neo-Darwinist concedes that beneficially adaptive mutations are very, very rare and the vast majority of such mutations do not help in any way. So proof of evolution by natural selection of spontaneous mutations ought to be a profusion of wholly whacko, nonfunctional fossils. But those necessary, crazy fossils - ones which haven´t got a hope in heck of flying, swimming or crawling and which the theory demands - are not there. This is the last pattern to result from a mechanism where the only supervision of ´The Making of the Fittest´ comes after the accidents. Thus neo-Darwinism falls at the first hurdle.. It is falsified. (Not that it matters all that much; it´s just a harmless creation myth!)
I always thought he had beautiful teeth too. One of my friends has teeth like his as well. I'm currently getting my teeth straightened, I've always been jealous of Seth MacFarlane and that friend of mine because of how good their teeth are.
Dr. Sean this has particular relevance this year with the COVID vaccination debate. I am an atheist and the six tenants of belief you list matches perfectly with arguments of Christian apologists. And those who reject climate change and the next mass extinction. Thanks this is useful information and I am listening!
Netflix is pissing me off with the Bait and Switch tactics. They make something amazing like this, then sell the rights and it’s no longer on Netflix so I have to pay to see it again. I’m on the verge of cancelling Netflix and waiting for their content to be served by another distributor like RU-vid. This is the first video I’ve paid RU-vid to watch.
