Breaking News:Mysterey defines difference between humans and apes

Another example of those switches that control the genes by turning them on and off. According to this article the genes of humans and apes are identical. If you read between the lines of this article it seems that the difference between apes and humans is REGULATED .

Breaking News:Dark Matter mystery deepens

Scientist studying what they call Dark Matter, that mysterious force that holds the galaxies together, are bewildered because experiments have shown that Dark Matter does not conform to what computer models says it should.

I have written about Dark Matter in this blog before where I have suggested that Dark Matter is not matter at all but a mass less force like gravity.

Dark Matter,Dark Energy and Gravity

Without the force called Dark Matter the galaxies would fly apart because normal gravity cannot hold them together. But what if Dark Matter is a force like gravity working at variable intensities to enable the universe to exist. It would suggest intelligence that would control the intensity of these forces.

Breaking News: Hidden Code in DNA

" A hidden code linked to DNA of plants allows them to develop and pass down new biological traits far more rapidly than previously thought". This is a quote from the Salk Institute for biological studies. They say this code most likely exists in mammals and humans.

What this means, as far as I can determine according to the article (link below), is that genes themselves are not the final determination of  what kind of person you will be. There are chemical switches attached to genes that turns them off and on related to what the organism will need to survive in a new environment.

This enables change in a species much faster than Darwin perceived and may account for the sudden appearance in evolution such as eyes,wings etc. It also accounts for the lack of fossil evidence of animals that evolved halfway, the missing links.

My question is: how do these switches know to do this? How, if they are just mindless ,random chemicals interacting, do they know to do this without some intelligence intervening.

EVOLUTION Part 1

           We have come a long way together, billions of years, from the birth of the Universe  to the origin of life.We have looked at light,gravity,dark matter and dark energy.We have examined the formation of the stars and the elements we are all made. We have accumulated evidence against atheistic scientific theory and towards Intelligent Design.
            Next, we will examine, in detail ,the foundation of atheistic belief, EVOLUTION.

            Evolution is defined as the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. According to current scientific theory  there are three mechanisms that push evolution forward.
            NATURAL SELECTION: By chance, one organism has an advantage for survival over the rest of the population and so has a reproductive advantage over slower runners, thereby passing this advantage on to it's offspring. For Example: a rabbit that is a bit faster than other rabbits and has a better chance of not being eaten by a predator and so will have a chance to mate and pass that speed on to it's offspring.
            There is artificial selection as when a farmer mates plants and animals to produce desirable traits the farmer wants.
            Natural selection is consistent with Intelligent Design as once the process is established, it sustains itself as with the farmer.
            GENETIC DRIFT: is the gradual change in a population due to random events.
For example:75% of a population has the A gene and 25% have the B gene.If the organisms with the B gene do not have offspring,the B gene is wiped out. If only 1/3 of A have offspring but all of B than the A and B gene would be equal in the population.
             You can have endless combinations that will eventually lead to change in the population.This is very mathematical and is also consistent with Intelligent Design.
            MUTATION: We have gone over this in the last couple of chapters but to summarize,Mutation is the main source of change. This to me is another SMOKING GUN and proof of Intelligent Design.
             As we have covered, mutations are the result of mistakes in the DNA sequence. BUT , the odds for random mistakes to eventually lead to intelligence would be like winning the lottery every day.
             The bible of atheistic evolution is Darwin's "Origin of  Species" . We will examine the flaws in this theory. We will examine why, with at least 100 million fossils that are catalogued and identified in the world's museums, the fossil record does not support Darwin's premise.

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.

Origin of life part 2 DNA

           DNA, the hereditary material in all living cells that carries the information to duplicate itself.Every human being has their own unique DNA code. The code is made up of four chemical bases:
            G- guanine
            A-aenine
            T-thymine
            C-cytosine.

             The order of the basis determines the information available for building and maitaining an organism. For example: The 24 letters of the alphabet can be rearrange to write everything ever written in English.
            Basically what we are examining is information, the blueprint to make another similar organism. But it doesn't do that by itself. It is necessary for enzymes to exist, various types of proteins that drive the chemical reaction required for a particular action.
             So the enzyme is the worker, taking it's orders from the information on the DNA and performs perfectly what is required of it.
              Now, we have the info and the enzymes that read the info and do what it says. A question that I have and could not find an answer to was: How could the information and the workers evolve seperately from DNA but need each other to replicate life? How does it know to do that?
              A piece of DNA that dictates a particular trait is called a gene.The amount of info in DNA is staggering, a DNA strand is only 10 atoms wide but if you stretched out the strands in your body it would be about 500 million miles long.This is all the information to build your bones,eyes,heart and every other part and function of your body.
             One of the mysterious of science is how  identical cells,with the same DNA, will divide to form your heart while others form the other body parts.
              One theory is that there are switches that turn some genes on while turning some off. Where are these swithches? Until scientist find them, I will submit this as evidence of design.
             You were conceived when an egg from your mother and a sperm cell from your father met to give you 23 chromozones from your mother and the same from your father. This have you your own genetic code. There has never been ,in all history, anyone like you.
              If a problem occurs in the process, the new cells, if they survive ,can cause problems.These are called mutations. Here is a real smoking gun as far as I am concrned: Some mutations are beneficial. This is the basis of all evolution theory, a beneficial mutation that allows an organism to develope capabilities it's ancestor did not posses.
              A mutation is a mistake, a G where it should have been a T. So how can a mistake in the blueprint lead to a benifit in the organism?Can a bunch of mistakesin DNA from the first One cell organism ,all the way to us ,be just mindless luck.
              So, maybe all mutations are not mistakes but an improvement in the design.

Origin of Life. Part 1

           The origin of life and the origin of the universe are similar in that scientists have many theories but no provable answers for either origin.
           What is life?It is carbon and water based, has a capacity to grow and reproduce.The great mystery in science is the process by which life originated on Earth from non-living matter.
            The earliest evidence for life on Earth are fossilized mats of bacteria, that have been analyzed to be about 3.4 billion years old.This type of bacteria is still around now and have survived and thrived for 3.4 billion years and have the same basic structure and chemistry.Even though this bacteria are single cell, while we have billions, their structure,chemistry and reproductive process are so complex,scientist say they could not be possibly be first life.Scientist theorize an intermittent process between non-living matter and bacteria. So far, none have been found.
            There are many theories for the origin of life.One of the oldest and since  discredited is Spontaneous generation. Their premise was that life could be produced from decaying organic matter. For example:maggots would magically appear on dead meat. This was disproven when it was demonstrated that flies laid eggs in the meat which gave birth to maggots.Scientists have tried everything to produce life from non-living matter. They have tried to duplicate the chemistry that may have existed in pools of water billions of years ago. When that didn't work, they shot electricity through it, they shot micro waves through it. Nothing, during all recorded history, there has never been a case of a living thing produced by anything other than another living thing.
             A current theory is organic molecules raining down from outer space, but the one that interest me the most is the quantum theory of life.This theory suggests that quantum mechanics enabled life to emerge directly from the atomic world, without the need for  complex chemistry. We have looked at the crazy, magical quantum world,(see"A Smoking Gun).and the answer may lay there in some way.
             Next , we will look at DNA,that blueprint for all life and direct evidence of design.
