On the Not So Mysterious Butterfly Evolution

 As a biologist, I can come up with a reasonable scenario to explain evolution of particular traits seen in lifeforms. But I have only been able to imagine how things could have come into being when they are macroscopic. Microscopically, I and most of the scientific community can offer no explanations as to how certain life molecules and structures came into being. I'm referring to such things as DNA, RNA, ribosomes, histones, flagella, viruses, mitochondria. There are much more but these are the ones that I've attempted to explain to myself and I've not been successful. If you want to knock Darwinism, you would do best to stick with the microscopic. I came across a video of someone who used the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly to show that a creator must have designed this lovely creature. It as a very compelling presentation but when I started imagining a more conventional explanation, I knew that my faith in Darwinism (macroscopically) was restored. This is what I ...

Why I Don't Believe SARS-Cov-2 Came from Nature

  The circumstantial: In 2015, some at the University of South Carolina corroborated with Wuhan Institute of Virology to get a wild coronavirus and make it infectious to humans (These early studies were in-vitro) Three pandemics in relatively rapid succession: Sars, Mers, Covid-19. China locked down Wuhan and did not allow intra-China travel but permitted travel to Eu and the U.S. China has not allowed the CDC to investigate the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Although Anthony Fauci said that China was being cooperative, the first CoV-2 sequences released by China were incorrect. We've got our hands in this epidemic. Li-Meng Yan says the Chinese military released CoV-2 and there is certainly ample circumstantial evidence, it seems weird, though, that China would release it on its own people. Would they not have had the foresight to release it into one of the alleged concentration camps in China, North Korea, or elsewhere or use it to decimate unwanted groups? Coronaviruses are fo...

Evolution Needs to be Understood at all Costs

The problem with evolutionary theory is that no common man is willing to see him/herself as an animal subject to evolutionary forces. It's a simple concept but, after learning the basics, we fail miserably at applying the concept to everyday life. That is so unfortunate. Let me break it down for you. Evolution simply seeks to perpetuate life--any life, all life. But there is a principle that we mostly fail to embrace. Evolution is blind. The reason it is blind is that it does not know what the environment will throw at it. Ergo, it must come up with very different designs in the hope that one of them will survive in the new environment. I don't know who told it so, but it found out early that environments change. The Black person came up with extra melanin that will protect him/her from the Sun's UV rays. The White Northern person then reversed that and came up with less melatonin that would allow lower quantities of UV light to still make make it through the skin and...

To Me, a Biologist, Racism has Evolutionary Explanations; Ironically, Racism hinders Evolution

Most of our primitive urges have been successfully suppressed by society--most, for the good of all. I don't know if racism could be suppressed longterm by legislation but we are seeing herd mentality--the good kind--hold up injustice for all to see. It doesn't matter that 57 cops resigned at Buffalo, NY, in support of 'storm troopers' that shoved an elderly man to the ground, for they were engaged in Trumpism--looking out for #1 at the exclusion of others.  Today, what could be the threat seen by Whites? Why fear a Black man/woman? In a population, you would be excused for fighting for resources. But Blacks are not siphoning Wall St. profits. Black women are only a threat during Black Friday at Walmart, lol; and, funny how retailers know better than to bring in a gaggle of cops to their stores to stop those 'riots.' You would be excused for not wanting to be robbed at home. But minorities affect their own waaay more than they infringe on White properties (riots...
