Mutations (continued)

            I want to explore mutations in DNA further because there is a smoking gun hidden in this information.
Mutations are changes in a genomic sequence, which is the entire hereditary information of an organism.
            In the living cell, all DNA undergoes frequent chemical change, especially when it is being replicated. Most of the changes are quickly repaired. Those that are not result in a mutation.
            Fortunately, mutations are rare, estimated at 1 in every 10 million duplications of a DNA molecule. Our bodies contain about 100 trillion cells, so odds are we all have some mutated cells.
             So to be clear, a mutation is a result of a mistake in the DNA. They are responsible for many genetic defects such as: hemophilia,albinism and certain kinds of cancer and brain malfunction. These mutations can be caused by radiation or copying errors during replication.
              Here's where it gets real interesting. All evolution theory depends on these mutations to occasionally be beneficial. Why, because if these mistakes never happened, we would have never evolved beyond single cell organisms, such as bacteria.
            Are we to believe that random mistakes in the DNA, which have disastrous affects on the host organism , led to wings, eyes and intelligence? How do scientist explain this contradiction? Is it possible for mistakes in the dna replication to somehow evolve complex conscious beings? Does this not PROVE a consciousness intentionally altered the CHANGE in duplication to enable complex life to evolve. For life to evolve as complex as it is due to mistakes in the DNA replication is beyond comprehension . The odds would be tremendous, like winning the lottery every day.
          
         As I am writing this chapter, the Wall Street Journal printed a blog from some comedienne, Ricky Gervais titled "Why I am an atheist", I left a link below. I took the time to read it and he believes that science disproves the existence of God. He ,like many atheists, never talk about the actual science but pick apart religious documents, like the bible, as their proof of atheism. The bible should not be taken literally as it was written, in metaphor, thousands of years ago for uneducated people to understand their world and their place in it. For example: Saying the world was created in 7 days of coarse that cannot be true, there were no days in the beginning. But to say the world was created from the BIG Bang from nothing is a scientific fact. The Bible could have said"Let there be light and let it be both a particle and a wave,also let be mass less and self propelled.
          It is important to note that when scientists write a paper, they cannot mention anything meta-physical in their theories of how nature works.It is purely political. One has to use your own imagination and intelligence to read between the lines of scientific information.

Building the Nest part 2

           What have we examined so far?After a few billion years of the elements smashing into each other and being tugged by gravity, we have the Earth ready for life to arrive on the scene.
            Mindless elements with no will of their own, somehow gain a will.What am I saying?Think of a rock. It is made up of many elements, it will stay in the same spot for eternity unless a external force moves it. That rock will sit there unless wind or some other collection of elements hits it.
            Life has a will of it's own. It will change direction according to it's needs. But somehow made of the same elements as the rock.Where is the connection between physics and biology?
            Next we will examine the origin of life.

Review

           In reviewing, lets take a look at the evidence so far. We have discovered that the Universe had a beginning.This is significant because it was produced out of nothing, it is as simple as that.There are several scientific theories as to what may have caused it, but because of political correctness ,within the scientific community,nowhere in scientific reports is it even mentioned that some kind of intelligent intervention may be involved. I understand there is no direct evidence of some kind of intelligent intervention but neither is there evidence of current scientific theory.
          The growth and survival of the universe shows evidence of intervention.Gravity and other forces working smoothly and flawlessly for billions of years starting with the Big bang.
           If you reject Intelligent Design, then you have to accept the other choice which is Chaos.Every time science opens one door to the secrets of the universe, they find ten more closed doors. The more they discover, the more they discover they don't know.What they do discover is the tremendous complexity of the universe starting with the Big Bang all the way to the creation of life.Could such complexity just be a lucky set of circumstances within a mindless, chaotic universe,everything happening perfectly all by itself?
          What or who causes these interventions, I have no idea. I think it is helpful, in considering Intelligent Design,to forget about an old man with a beard.Most believers in Chaos or atheist use the bible as proof, to them ,that we are just an accident of nature ,because it seems to contradict current scientific knowledge.The bible is written in metaphor, so the people of the time could understand.Much easier to say"Let there Be Light, then to write a volume on Quantum Physics.

The Big Bang and seconds after.

Reference for origin of Universe

The Big bang Theory is the current scientific explanation for the creation of the Universe. It was created between 13 and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion of a subatomic thing that flung space,time, matter and energy in all directions at once.Everything, that we can see and touch came from an initial speck of infinite density.
             There are many theories how this could have happened.There is string theory, which is too complicated to go into here.Another is multi-universes but there is no more evidence of these theories than there is of, I am going to say it,a creator.
              The Big Bang theory has only been established within the last 50 years. Before that, most scientist believed that the universe was in a constant state for all time. Now they say it had a beginning. Think about that, from nothing came everything
             What happened after the Big Bang?We've established the beginning of everything with the Big Bang Theory.What happened right after, no one knows for sure. What is established is that the universe expanded much like a balloon expands when it is filled with air.
              The conditions within the early universe was total chaos.Extreme hot temperatures beyond imagination caused the sub-atomic particles to smash into each other.
               Now here's where it gets weird. According to current scientific theory, there were two substances, within the early universe, that destroyed each other when they collided.Scientist call them matter and anti-matter. Scientific models calculate that there should be a equal amount of matter and anti-matter. But they are baffled because if this was so, the early universe would have destroyed itself within the first seconds after the Big Bang
             Fortunately for us, there was a slight advantage in matter's favor, calculated at one part per billion. This enabled matter to survive and anti-matter destroyed. Now matter was able to survive and build the universe as we know it.
             This is where natural law was established. Any deviation, such as gravity stronger or weaker or the charge of electrons and more, the universe as we know it, could not be possible.
             Why the slight difference between matter and anti-matter. There is no answer.Could it be part of the natural process or could that be DESIGN, that a higher intelligence used to create everything.
