Evolution Plus
Why are people so afraid of change and diversity?
The title says it all ... if we have the highest creation of adaptability why we fight about social change and social evolution of art? Plus, if we are adaptable mammals like we think we are, we are as damned as asian panda bear? cursed to die out of existence? lack of bamboo for them, but the lack of social structural foundation for us?
because the person have always been creatures of comfort. We are still hard wired to our tribal instincts to stick to our own race, stay put where there is sufficient shelter and food, and even our barrier resistance when a group of people or ideas will come our way. even at the beginning of time people want to stay in one place until they are usually forced out by lack of food. most will not seek changes in their own environment and only choose to deal with if it is forced upon them. People are more willing to accept change while they are in a comfort zone capable of adhering to the new social standards does not make much sense to those who are not quite affected. technology makes us all think we have growth but our identity keeps most of us in a social break.
Evolution: the Devil is in the Details (Part Four of Four)
Did mankind evolve from bacteria? Encyclopedia Britannica Will evolve from Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace? Let's check it out.
The Language of Life
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA for short, is called the language of life. The description is a likely one. DNA of language consists of basic components called nucleotides. The nucleotide bases combine with specific codons much the same number of letters alphabetically combine with certain words.
Codons given sequences joined together to form certain amino acids such as word sequences given join together to form meaningful sentences.
Taking it a step further, the right type, layout, and number of amino acids that result in corresponding protein or gene, many of the correct order of the sentence results in an appropriate paragraph. And proteins to make different kinds of cells that develop into different organs body. That is comparable to the proper sequence of paragraphs merged to form a significant chapter.
See the parallel? The last step is the right number and types of organs of a form of life and living fully functional form. In much the same way, the right number and order of the chapters form a significant book.
Evolutionists believe that over time a life form that merges into a totally different type by a series of DNA nucleotide mutations. Error after mistake after mistake transformed single-celled organisms to people like you and me. That is the heart and soul of the theory evolution.
Nucleotide is based the equivalent of letters of the alphabet. Suppose, just suppose, we will produce a literary masterpiece and "mutate" each 500,000 th copy or by by replacing a letter, or perhaps a punctuation book anywhere. Like a series of such random errors over time significantly change one comprehensive piece other literature? Let's test that possibility.
Similarity of Evolution: The Evolution of Encyclopedia Britannica
The visitors looked around the large room. As far as the eye can see, he found row after row of scribes engaged in copying effectively thick layers of manuscripts. "What they are copying? "he inquired directing questions to the guide.
"Scribes in the room is to copy the English version of Leo Tolstoy War and Peace. "
"Boy, that sounds like a lot of duplication."
"We estimate that around 2.8 million character includes both letters of the alphabet and punctuation marks, "answered the guide.
"Wow! Who translated book?"
"Translated! What do you mean? "
"Raising his eyebrows a little, the visitor explained," I mean translated War and Peace in English? "
"As far as we, the first edition was just an accident. Some alphabet letters are floating about in a primordial soup with a bunch of punctuation marks. Wham-O then. Something zapped it - maybe lightning or radiation or something like that. Whatever-it-is that knocked all the letters and punctuation in the right order and conveniently packaged all the work on a book appropriate corset. That's just a theory mind you. But it is the best explanation we have right now. "
Puzzled, the visitor responded, "Do you mean to tell me that 2.8 million letters and punctuation got together themselves and accidentally formed just an English translation of Tolstoy's War and Peace? "
"Yes, in our opinion," the guide stated nonchalantly. "But do not forget, an electric bolt or radiation probably nailed the letters in place and wrapped around the book cover the whole thing. "
After staring at guide for a few moments, the visitors decided to change the subject. "Where the book go from here?"
"Ah, glad you asked, "Exclaimed the guide, leading visitors to a second somewhat smaller room. Motioning people reading books on long rows of tables, the guide said," I The gentlemen are our editors. They read all the copies made by scribes in the first room. If mistakes are found, the book was pulled and sent to the next room. "
"Considering each copy consists of 2.8 million characters, they should find a lot of errors."
"No. scribes are a dedicated bunch of workers. They average only one in 500 thousand errors throughout the book. Now if you just follow me, I'll show you what happens next. "
The next room is smaller than either of the first two, however, the visitor can still see many People testing several copies of War and Peace. "What goes on here?" asked a visitor, watching one of the workers snapping shut his book and casually tossing it into a big trash can.
"We call it Natural Selection to our room. And these folks are our second editor. They read all copies with misprints. If they decide that no copy right, they throw it. Only about one in a thousand mistakes are acceptable and transmitted by of the room. "
"And they look prints are still significant in another room."
"That's right," replied the guide, visitors walking into the fourth room.
"This is our third editor," explained the guide. In this room a large, love looking for writers say. He growled and snarled, hissed, and spat, and then he devoured most of the books on her desk. Of those that were left, he tore up a few, set fire to another, threw some out the window, and dumped a number in a tank of water.
Inexplicably, he brushed some of the remaining copies of what we can now call "acceptable-error-version" of War and Peace off his table, and serenely above table. A little scare writers quickly get the copy off the floor and scampered out the room.
"What kind of editor is that?" asked the visitor, now howling created pointing to the table.
"We call him Random Chance."
"He does not review the book. He only eats them, or tear them apart, or burns it, or tosses them out the window, or dumps it in the water! "exclaimed the visitor.
"Yes, that its work, "answered the guide in a soothing voice." He destroys most of the copies that landed on his desk. But some get through. What percentage, we do not know. Those who make it go to 1 / 5 rooms. Come on, let's follow the writer. "
The fifth room is full of both men scribes and women. A huge male writers wore a black leather jacket with the initials "DM" stitched on the back. "Stands for male dominated," said the guide before the guests can ask for.
The dominate male picked up a copy of War and Peace and carried it out of the room. Each of the female scribes picked up a copy and followed the men dominate out of the room. About an equal amount of male scribes the "Om" stitched on the back of their sweaters picked up a copy each. But instead of taking them out of the room, they can simply dumped their books in a trash barrel. More on this container has placed a sign that read "Dead End."
Knowledge to guide visitors "Om" is initials for "Other Guy." Responding to the questions of visitors, the guide answered, "we call our gentlemen Dead End scribes. There are many good-error mutations of War and Peace locked to Dead End dumpster, but most do it in the next room.
Visitors discovered the dominate male and female scribes brought their copies to 1 / 6 room. Here in room 6 at a wimpish little writer with big thick glasses. He actually read the book placed on his desk. But each mission he picked up, he discarded on the floor, told a rugged small voice, "I do not want that one." On rare occasions he will say, "That one is okay." And he passed it to the next room.
The guide explained, "we call the 6 writers room, Mr. Discrimination. Only a handful of useful-error-mutated copy of War and Peace obtained through its analysis. "
More surprises are ahead. A large pool of water stood directly in front a table in the seventh room. The sign next to the water reads: Genetic Pool. Every once in a while, a writer comes into the room and finding a book table, she was unceremoniously pushed off the copy genetic pool.
The visitors looked on in amazement. "Is that all there is to it? The few positive prints error War and Peace to make it past the first six rooms are just pushed off to drink? "
That's about it, "replied the guide without expression. "Although on occasion, one of those copies were taken to another room where the whole process starts over."
"Tell You scribes copy the new War and Peace in its "useful mistakes", they are checked for errors, and one out of 500,000 has a additional error. Then, on average, one out of a thousand with more errors will have a useful second mistake. Most of those with a secondary "Good errors" is eaten, burned, drowned, or otherwise destroyed.
"Of the several copies of two well-error on the left, some hit snags end of line, others are shunned because of bias against innovations, and others fell in large gene pool. And I suppose an incremental number of These two well-error-War and Peace copies will make it through all the risks and wind up in another room to be copied by scribes. "
"You got it! And the whole thing repeats itself again and again," said the guide slapping his knee with enthusiasm.
The visitor thought aloud, "We has a two-good-War Peace and error followed by a three-good-errors War and Peace, then a four-good-copy errors, etc, etc. But if where all the accumulated errors led us? "
"To other book!" cried guide. By adding a letter here, substituting one there, replacing a punctuation mark to another, sometimes repeated words, sentences or entire paragraphs or even deleting them, we have new books. Convinced We have the 32 volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica just evolved that way from a copy of War and peace. Gradually and incrementally, a book emerged from another. "
"Oh," said the skeptical visitor. "How many characters - letters and punctuation - is in the Encyclopedia Britannica!"
"Around 192000000" stated in the guide.
"So you think that a series of errors, by writing the letter, semicolon by semicolon transformed a unified cohesive body of work, namely War and Peace in its 2.8 million characters in a completely different and more unified cohesive body of work - the strength of 32 Encyclopedia Britannica sounds its 192 million character?
"Exactly! More than millions and millions of years of course."
"Of course," said the visitor.
War and Peace does not fall into place by accident, nor its English translation. To create such a comprehensive piece Mistress requires intelligence, literary expertise, planning, and purposeful action. An author named Leo Tolstoy wrote that book. Encyclopedia Britannica does not evolve minutes by random errors from War and Peace or any other activities. 32 volume set that requires intelligence, literary expertise, planning, and purposeful action too. Different author and editor of the combined and coordinated their talents to create this unique series of books.
Today about on how the "simple" bacteria? 3,000,000 nucleotide base that forms of life does not fall in place of the accident any more than the 2.8 million characters War and Peace. To create such a comprehensive masterpiece requires remarkable intelligence, knowledge of chemistry far greater than our own, including planning, and purposeful action.
Humanity will not evolve from a bacteria any more than the Encyclopedia Britannica evolve from War and Peace. Something or someone with A high level of intelligence and knowledge designed chemical and constructed bacteria being what it is. By the same token, Something or someone with a high level intelligence and knowledge chemicals designed and constructed people who know what they are.
