                during meiosis or scnt the genetic code is "reset" back to what it was before, but before that how would the genetic code know to fix itself if there are no enzymes around like I mean very early on in the first cellular lineages.

                Right and without dna repair enzymes and their rna it's certainly going to be fatal nonwithstanding all the other problems like spontaneous generation of amino acids that have no reason to do anything.

      science isn't even about truth, in the literal sense. not a single scientific theory is literally true, but it's all just an approximation towards truth, which isn't the same thing. it's more like making educated guesses

      So she believes a bunch of dumb bullshit instead. I agree with Ross's autistic rage here. If you want one example of how annoying these people are look at fatties that act like they can just ignore the massive body of evidence that says loading yourself with added sugars and excess calories will balloon you, and then act like it isn't their fault that they're morbidly obese.

        If I remember this episode correctly, she doesn't believe anything in particular, she just wants to mess with Ross and make him understand that all of his knowledge is only temporary until we understand more. He acts like a typical science zealot who can not possibly be wrong because he has a phd. Anyway in the end he admits the possibility that he might not know everything and even though Pheobe is a nutcase he still tolerates her because she's his friend.

        DNA doesn't care. Its a biological machine that self replicates. Literally all of life is a byproduct.

        Since it doesn't self replicate perfectly, you get mutation. Sometimes mutation is useful and sometimes it kills the organism and stops further replication.

        Thats the entire fricking mechanism behind evolution. Survival of the fittest. Or maybe survival of the most not deadest.

        As far as "as single mutation will kill", sometimes thats true. But pretty much every organism has mechanisms for preventing, repairing or limiting the damage from extreme mutations, particularly on the most expressed sections.

            A lot of cell basic functionality comes from single celled organisms where mutations hit immediately since they reproduce by copying themselves.

            DNA repair was a random mutation that helped one cell live a lot longer thus creating a bunch more duplicates.

                >How does evolution explain sexual reproduction?
                More efficient genetic recombination, vastly increased diversity, increased rate of mutation. Bacterial plasmids are a analogous method of DNA propagation and plasmid sharing was a likely precursor to sexual reproduction. TLDR, it helps DNA replicate itself because it increases the fitness of organisms and allows beneficial traits to propagate more efficiently.

                It seems reasonable that as they evolved this DNA sharing could have become more sophisticated. After all we can make these bacteria evolve and even force them to swap plasmids pretty easily in a lab, after all its an experiment that first year biology students will do.

                Add in a bit of understanding about DNA recombination and mitosis and you can pretty easily put forward a mechanism to logically explain the existence of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes.

                You obviously never went to university if you don't see how genetic sharing in current day bacteria would serve as a basic mechanism for recombination and sexual reproduction in stem eukaryotes.

                I cant be assed giving you a biology 101 lecture since my job isn't educating developmentally disabled folks. Suffice to say, there's a lot of very good reasons that biologists think that evolution via natural selection exists and the existence and dominance of sexual reproduction is one of them.

      >cannot explain the mechanisms behind their beloved religion of evolution
      It's pretty straightforward. Let's take orcas as an example. Going back to the earliest aquatic mammals, there was an advantage in being darker in the top half of the body and lighter on the bottom half. So those aquatic mammals who had those characteristics were more likely to live longer and reproduce more. Over tens of thousands of years, this resulted in a species that has a 50/50 split of dark skin on the top of its body and light skin on the bottom.

      Basically, a mutation that gives a species even the slightest advantage leads to that mutation becoming more and more common among the species as a whole, until you get species that are almost specialized for certain tasks. Humans are another example, we're uniquely good at throwing objects accurately at high speeds, if the rest of the animal kingdom is Nestor Cortes, we're Gerrit Cole. This was the result of a long process of certain apes using rocks for hunting/combat (the earliest evidence of this being the famous "Lucy" skeleton, an Australopithecus afarensis killed by a rock blow to the back of the head). Apes who were better at this lived longer and had more offspring, leading to more apes with those traits, and so on until modern homosexual sapiens sapiens are such naturals at it that even toddlers can throw better than an adult chimp.

To be clear, I do think the Bible has value as a historical source, and there's plenty of evidence for Jesus being a real person, I'm just trying to figure out what his argument is. You can't say "it's all been rewritten and sources raped to death by conquerors" while simultaneously pointing to this one specific document as (literal) gospel.

    I've never understood why religious people point to biological life as evidence for a creator when there's much stronger evidence in the fabric of the universe. Any attempt to use life as proof of intelligent design can be quite easily challenged with the theory of evolution and the mountain of evidence supporting it. But the basic building blocks of the universe, such as the fine structure constant, cannot have been caused by any natural phenomenon, since they are by definition the most basic components of this world that we live in. If something like the fine structure constant exists and could have been something else but isn't, then that strongly implies that an intelligent creator made a choice to make it what it is.

          I explained my reasoning and it has absolutely nothing to do with humans existing to observe the universe. The fact that there is one universe and this universe is based on rules, and some of these rules appear to be arbitrary, implies to me that a creator must have made some design choices. Again, you cannot explain away something like the fine structure constant by citing some natural phenomenon. Maybe sometime in the future a cause will be discovered and explained with a new theory, but that theory will itself have some base assumptions. You can peel this onion layer by layer, but unless the rules governing the universe are infinite, then at some point you'll reach something that I call a "basic building block", something that just is and cannot be explained by anything else. This basic building block will have properties completely independent of everything else in the universe. How did it come by these properties, properties that could have been different, if not by a creator making a choice.

        If this hypothetical "basic building block" is itself caused by some other natural phenomenon, then it isn't a basic building block. Unless the laws governing the universe are themselves an infinite chain, then there must be certain particles or rules that just "are".

        Couldn't it have been random?

        There is no such thing as randomness in a universe based on rules. We perceive many phenomena as essentially random because they're too complex for us to predict or comprehend.

          It feels like this is just the Anthropic Principal at work. If the universe did not support intelligent life then we wouldn't be there to observe it. There could be infinite universes with different constants, but we would only arise in one which was hospitable, so it seems like it's tailored to us, but it could just be happenstance.

                No I wouldn't, since that would essentially support my argument. I'm not arguing for the existence of the Abrahamic god, or any other kind of god invented by humans. All I'm saying is that the nature of this universe strongly implies the existence of some "prime mover". That's it.
