Genes and conscious evolution

Unread postby Narz » Fri 02 May 2008, 03:49:35

I found these to be pretty interesting so I thought I'd share them with the class.

Part 1

Part 2

Recent advances in cellular science are heralding an important evolutionary turning point. For almost fifty years we have held the illusion that our health and fate were preprogrammed in our genes, a concept referred to as genetic determinacy. Though mass consciousness is currently imbued with the belief that the character of one's life is genetically predetermined, a radically new understanding is unfolding at the leading edge of science.

Cellular biologists now recognize that the environment, the external universe and our internal physiology, and more importantly, our perception of the environment, directly controls the activity of our genes. This video will broadly review the molecular mechanisms by which environmental awareness interfaces genetic regulation and guides organismal evolution.

Wishful thinking. cant happen

you cant take a soup of chemicals and develop all left isomer amino acids 22 of them and no right isomers.

cannot happen.

each cell has 10^18 proteins and all of them are thousands in length andall of them left isomers.

Deoxy sugars are all right, every one

it canot happen that randomly this could be.

the most powerful posison we have are right isomer almino acids and left isomer sugars (cancer chemotherapy

a protein that takes on just ONE right isomer is ruined,

flip 1.5 million heads in a row with a coin flipand you made one protein.

do that again and you made two proteins.
do that again and you made three proteins

now do that 10 ^ 18 times and you made one cell.

do that a billion times and you made an arm

do that a million times and you made a species.

evolution?
Nah ah!

no possible way.

the imaginary reports that local environment guided evolution is the kind of stuff is what you would find on "official information" sites on 911, a nice story.

The point is Quakey, that evolution didn't happen randomly, it happened in perfect response to it's environment.

er..no. As Narz has pointed out, evolution is not a random process. I dont think you've quite grasped the principle of natural selection. There's much more to it than just coin flipping.

plenty of info here.
