DNA: The Code of Life, to Who?

[diche]

The title says exactly what I wrote down on a sticky note when I was high so I would remember. I noticed when I get high, and start to think in my mind, I'm a mad phycologist. But when I try to think of it on my own, I can't get those ideas or feelings.

The first thoughts were why are cats cute??? they dont have to be, besides why be cute even when no one is watching. (if that makes sence, im trying to remember my high)

The second thought is of DNA. How can it be that cellular grow is determined by a series of chemical compounds in a binary series. How can a relationship between two organisms that depend on each other be encoded in something as simple as the positition of atoms? Why is DNA such a hard code, nature can't make up a code. People make codes...or Aliens. Is DNA coded against us from some unbareable truth.

I dunno, Im gonna get high again later by myself and try to write down my good ideas for you guys to read.

interesting. never thought of things like that.

You and I are one of a kind. When I'm blazed, I'm a mad thinker, I think of all sorts of crap. The cats being cute thing makes sense, but about the DNA and how nature can make a code, that's why I'm a Christian.

If you look at the facts, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is either bogus, or incomplete. His theory is that all organisms are in a constant struggle of adaptation, and the animals who have an advantages over others will live and reproduce. Survival of the Fittest, the weaker animals will die. As the enviroment changes, these animals are forced to adapt to the cirumstances. Given that variation is inherited through genes (which, there is no evidence of, that is why apes still exist, and there are no half-ape half-humans out there), all evolution occurs through numerous slight, successful mutations.

Now, let's take the human eye as an example. Should Darwin be true, how, exactly does a creature even begin to develop an eye? Humans have extremely complex, camera-type eyes. The pupil acts as a shutter, the lens gathers light and focuses it on the retina to form an image. Different colors of light which have different wavelengths would cause a blurred image, however our eyes are smart enough to change it's density so that we can see clearly. The eye has unique muscles, allowing it to move at ridiculously fast speeds. I'm not even halfway done explaining how we have vision, see how complicated this shit gets?

The chances of any creature to develop an eye as complicted as this, are virturally impossible. Sure, animals can survive with more primative eyes, look at a jellyfish. Can you explain how humans evolved our eyes though "slight, successful variations through genetic mutation"? Nobody can. Now, I'm not going to preach to you saying how great God is, but look at the facts.

Ohhhh shit,,,, believe what you want thats cool. thats deep

no takers?

If you look at the facts, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is either bogus, or incomplete.
Scientific Theory, as opposed to Theology, is open to revision and further research. That science is not claimed to be 100% correct is due to diligence and the desire for better explanations. Religion is not open to this. However, even the Catholic Church has admitted that Evolution is probably correct, and creationists often accept Evolution for animals, but usually just exclude human beings from the Evolution equation.

His theory is that all organisms are in a constant struggle of adaptation, and the animals who have an advantages over others will live and reproduce. Survival of the Fittest, the weaker animals will die. As the enviroment changes, these animals are forced to adapt to the cirumstances.
Survival of the fittest is not necessarily one of physical capability.

Given that variation is inherited through genes (which, there is no evidence of, that is why apes still exist, and there are no half-ape half-humans out there), all evolution occurs through numerous slight, successful mutations.
There is no evidence that we are descended directly from Chimps, and further work needs to be done as to where man fits in. Were talking about millions of years ago - so it's very difficult.

The human eye is not as good, in many regards, as other creatures' - the eagle comes to mind, as well as other birds of prey.

There are no "scientific facts", but reasonably rational people accept certain things, with more research in the future, without ascribing supernatural events to these occurrences. The idea of "God", even to the religious, is not a "fact". It is based on faith.

I'm sorry if my words came out wrong, my belief in God is faith. The facts I spoke of had evidence backing them up. I'm very open to all beliefs, because logically, the idea of our universe being created by a colossal explosion that detonated from nothing is just as likely as God existing.

And I am a Christian, not a Catholic, there are differences. My beliefs come from the Bible, and the Bible only. A Catholic bishop was once quoted, "The Church is the work of an Incarnate God, like all of God's works, is is perfect." Now, according to my faith, God did not create all things perfect, humans are a great example of this, and I'm certainly not going to listen to a church that has a corrupted background of exploiting Pagan holidays so that the church can have a greater influence, or fucking little boys in the ass.

Science has come along way, and yes, there is still much more to be discovered. However, in all honesty, I will live my life as a Christian, and when I die I fully believe that there is a heaven waiting for me. Yet, I am only human, and if there is no such thing as God, then I will simply rot in the ground. Being a Christian, I have morals and scripture to help guide me through my life, but if there is no heaven, I have nothing to lose.

I believe the correct phrase would be "DNA: The Code of Life to Whom?"

which, there is no evidence of, that is why apes still exist, and there are no half-ape half-humans out there.

the reason there are no half ape/half man creatures out there is because they are all extinct. They are our ancestors and we have found fossil remains of them, and most importantly their skulls. keep in mind that chimps and humans are 97% genetically IDENTICAL. another thing: I don't see why people who believe in God can't believe in evolution. Or people that believe in evolution have to be atheist. Can't people believe " well a supreme being did create the universe but after that, time and energy did the rest"?

here is a list of all the different species in human evolution(your ape men).

Wonder how we overpopulated the earth so well, when half our ancestors were Homos?
