Evolution: Fact or Fiction? Part 1 - The Process 

They think evolution is like in Pokemon or something 🤦‍♂

Evolution is magic.

What was the mechanism for universal common descent? It has to be testable. It has to have evidentiary support. And it has to be determined that it was blind and mindless processes.

*HUMAN GROUP EVOLVING TO BE AQUATIC HUNTERS* The Bajau people, or Sea Nomads, have engaged in breath-hold diving for thousands of years. Evolution has doubled the Bajau spleen size, providing an oxygen reservoir for diving, just like in other sea-going mammals like otters, seals and whales. They can stay underwater for 13 minutes, which is even longer than a dolphin can do it for! Most of us humans can only handle less than two. We would drown at 13. Oh yeah, and the Bajau people are also capable of seeing clearly underwater. They are able to make their pupils smaller and change their lens shape. Seals and dolphins have a similar adaptation. This has been proven in underwater visual testing, the Bajau see twice as well as other humans.

Great content and very didactic style. Thanks!!!

If you are creationist, don't say "Evolution can't..." ect, because it just reveals that you are either terrible at Googleing for facts or you just don't want to. Saying Evolution isn't possible isn't going to convince the rest of use who already know how it happened.

The confidence of creationists always makes me laugh. Evolution is accepted fact by every scientific institute on the planet, every academy of science on the planet, every accredited college and university on the planet, and 99% of living scientists. All creationists think it means something else and entails something else.

Every time I hear, “Evolution is only a Theory” I want to give them an “I’m Stupid “ sign.

The theory of Evolution is so simple that I felt I understood it on first hearing. However, the stuff that is evolving (life) is so complex that decades later, I feel I am still deepening my understanding. Very much enjoyed the video.

FACT. Why would it take 17+ minutes to understand this?

The Origins of the Intelligent Design movement "Our strategy has been to change the subject so that we can get the issue of intelligent design - which really means the reality of God's creation - before the academic world and into the schools. This isn't really, and never has been a debate about science or the truth. It's about winning at any cost, and affirming the reality of the God of The Christian Bible, by challenging the domination of materialism and naturalism in the academic arena. With the assistance of many friends I have developed a strategy for doing this which we call "The wedge". But remember, we must avoid debating the Bible and the Book of Genesis at all costs because we do not want to raise the obvious Bible-science dichotomy. Our goal is, "how to win". Phrase the pseudoscience argument in such a way that you can get it heard in secular academia and in a way that tends to unify other science illiterates religious fence-sitters. You must also avoid getting sidetracked onto other issues (like empirical evidence) which our intellectual superiors people are always trying to do." - Phillip E Johnson - the father of the ID/creation-science movement

I love the way he used Answers In Genesis for a definition of evolution non-critically. But I would reject "supposedly" from an organisation which displays both motivated skepticism and credulity.

Hello there got recomended zour second part and just watching the first part now.

let me tell you the truth. we live in a multiverse. take a look at ur, watch when u are doing good. 11.11. 16.16. 17.17 and so on.

Better to understand and believe fact , than mythical magical nonsense about a man made god

man, him god, is one clever dude, when he devolept all that , with proteins, and dna

Why the Hell did you give AIG publicity?! Ken Ham and his minions are liars!

Thank you

RU-vid recommended this channel to me. I see we have a random smattering of commenters who either accept or deny evolution because RU-vid doesn't differentiate. Let's see if this changes over time.

They think evolution is not a thing, not a noun? What do they think it is, a preposition, an adjective, a verb? Ok, the US has always been loose with the English language anyway.

1. Genetic mutations happen occasionally 2. Sometimes those mutations help the organism create more offspring 3. The mutation carries to the offspring and also helps them create more offspring 4. Mutation becomes more and more common in the species until those without that mutation are weeded out 5. Now the whole species has the mutation making it a new kind of species

The information in DNA is the most complex ever discovered, it can be read in multiple directions, utilizes encryption, and bizarrely for a process that supposedly relies on random mutations has a sophisticated error correction system. It also has the claim of the worlds most compact data storage method and if this data were written into books they would stretch to the moon and back 500 times. Despite all of this the consensus is it created itself over millions of years, ignoring the absolute fact, information, especially purposeful complexly arranged information, is only known to come from a mind. What sort of mind is required for information that is so complex it cannot be arranged in the method DNA utilises using todays supercomputers? Evolution requires a special pleading for a mechanism that has never been observed, that purposeful complexly arranged information comes into existence without intelligent input. How does evolution which relies on matter going through random mutations without intent or purpose explain the emergence of mathematics which is an abstract concept devoid of matter and only resides within a mind? Which came first DNA or proteins? You guys wet your pants when new technology is released and many of you will rush out and buy a PS6 when it is launched, and every single one of you understands the extremely high levels of intelligence, engineering, design, manufacturing, and knowledge required to bring that PS6 into existence. A single cell in your body is vastly superior to that same PS6, the pure processing power required by your eyes would bring millions of those PS6's to their virtual knees, your body processes more instructions per second than every computer on Earth COMBINED (using millions of watts) and does this using a measly 20 watts of electricity. This level of design is way beyond human capabilities and we know from thousands of years of using OBSERVATION that the greater the level of complexity, the higher the level of intelligence required. It's clear to anyone without a blinding world view that all of life was designed, to dispute this means you believe blind, purposeless, random mutations without intent creates systems so complex with unparalleled levels of efficiency and exquisite design, that it supersedes anything man has achieved using purpose, design, intent, knowledge, and genius levels of intelligence Evolution is a misguided interpretation of adaptation that is already coded into all living organisms and is propped up by presuppositions, assumptions, and bias confirmation, it requires a dogmatic ignorance of all known observation that the higher the level of complexity, the higher the level of intelligence, knowledge, and understanding is factually necessary. The information in DNA is the most complex ever discovered, it utilizes encryption, and a sophisticated error correction system (bizarre for evolutions proposed undirected mutational process). Evolution requires a special pleading for an unknown mechanism to explain this and the fact any information's origin has always led to an intelligent agent (A.I. for example), it is baffling how anyone could attribute complexity beyond human capabilities that utilises intelligence, knowledge, understanding, and intent, to evolutions blind purposeless process without intent. The universe and life was intelligently designed, the more science uncovers, the more obvious this is, only a blinding world view refuses to see this and cling onto a paradigm that is against observation. A single cell is so complex it is still revealing secrets after 60 years of scientific scrutiny, each new layer of discovery is pushing researchers progress backwards and its design is crystal clear to anyone but the truly blinded. Scientists cannot create life despite highly knowledgeable expertise, pristine laboratories with state of the art technologies, highly controlled environments and decades of attempts. Despite the fact highly intelligent knowledgeable scientists cannot create a single cell it is believed that matter without a mind and therefore not capable of understanding mathematics, supposedly over the course of time, using unguided, random mutational processes without intent constructs a complex brain that is capable of understanding the abstract concept of numbers, surely the most ridiculous thought (pun intended) in the history of mankind.

1. Fiction 2. Unscientific 3. Anti-biblical

How did the information in dna evolve?

*Magnetic brain stimulation reduces belief in God, prejudice toward immigrants* Disabling certain areas of the brain with transcranial magnetic stimulation can reduce a person’s belief in God and negativity toward immigrants, claims a new study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.

Guardians of dogmas

Yes: Mutations happen and natural selection is real. But evolution in Darwin´s sense does not exist. It´s like this: later product adaptations and quality control in a producing factory are NOT the story how the product was engineered and produced in the first place. If you want to be intellectually honest, you have to take into account, what Darwin himself said: All his "evidence for evolution" could just as well be attributed to the work of a Creator. But, he and his supporters decided (it was a decree!) that assuming Creation could not be called scientific any more. Scientists quickly agreed, seeing all the career and money possibilities, making science really great - in a very dishonest and unscientific fashion. Let me give you the quote from Origin of Species: "On the ordinary view of the independent creation of each being, we can only say that so it is; - that it has pleased the Creator to construct all the animals and plants in each great class on a uniform plan; but this is not a scientific explanation." - Not scientific according to the new definition of science, yeah, but true nonetheless. AT LEAST it must be said that all the evidence is nothing, it can be used either to argue for evolution or just as well for creation. If you want to be intellectually honest, you also have to take into account that all proposed evidence for evolution ended up being called into question like: Junk DNA, Hox genes, ERV. The "Darwinian paradox" has no solution, as geneticist John F. McDonald says. Here in simple words: Mutations that evolution needs in order to build new body plans do not occur, and those that do occur, evolution doesn’t need. I highly recommend Matti Leisola´s book Heretic for a start into criticism. That´s got all the other major problems like fossils in it too. It´s a good starting point. And don´t be afraid, if you fall from evolution, even if they fire you for it, you can repent for leading all these kids astray, you can turn to Jesus and make it to heaven. Please do. Jesus died for you. Truth, real truth is all that matters, and the only truth is in Jesus Christ. All man-made wisdom against God is lies and illusion.

There is no mechanism for getting written programming that’s not there.

There is this thing called known human history. There are sixteen known ancient civilizations that are descended from known progenitors that are the sixteen grandsons of Noah. That’s real human history.

More love and tolerance from Christ your Lord: *Whosoever hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.* For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries.” Lev.21 17-23

It all depends on how you are defining "evolution ". So, start with a valid definition of evolution, first. Even YECs accept speciation.

Evolution has several meanings. It is only definition 6 that people argue against. And that is because there isn't any evidence for it: 1. Change over time; history of nature; any sequence of events in nature 2. Changes in the frequencies of alleles in the gene pool of a population 3. Limited common descent: the idea that particular groups of organisms have descended from a common ancestor. 4. The mechanisms responsible for the change required to produce limited descent with modification, chiefly natural selection acting on random variations or mutations. 5. Universal common descent: the idea that all organisms have descended from a single common ancestor. 6. “Blind watchmaker” thesis: the idea that all organisms have descended from common ancestors solely through an unguided, unintelligent, purposeless, material processes such as natural selection acting on random variations or mutations; that the mechanisms of natural selection, random variation and mutation, and perhaps other similarly naturalistic mechanisms, are completely sufficient to account for the appearance of design in living organisms.

Evolution is the mechanism for evolution? Evolution by means of evolution? This is what some evos are telling me!

Intelligent Design posits that organisms were intelligently designed with the information and ability to evolve and adapt. Evolution by means of intelligent design, ie telic processes. Genetic algorithms exemplify evolution by means of telic processes.

I will be your 200th sub. Good luck with your channel.
