You honestly believe, it is possible for a lizard, to magically evovle into a lizard that can change its skin color at will? How exactly will natural selection take care of that? You say, evolution is a very slow process, so it would be virtually impossible to be so lucky, that so many random mutations occur, after eachother, and that out of these random mutations, just like that, a lizard is created who can change it's skin at will. By the time, you have enough random mutations for this event to occur, the lizard will already be extinct.




Why not? There's nothing to prevent it happening.

Nah I feel ya, and so does the dude who was put in charge of mapping out the genome. Study alittle biogeography and you find tons of flaws in current evolutionary theory.

There is no such thing as random, every effect has a cause, every cause has an effect. This is basic logic, and the evolution theory is going against this. Random can only seem random, when we cannot understand the cause.



Of coursr every effect has cause and otherways, if we look at chameleon, he surely didn't evolve randomly so,
he evolved so because that's where he was living countless decades and that exact evolution happened because it was
best way for him, since he lives in such conditions.

The change itself is chaotic, because there's no one to predict it and control, only way is to directly experience it as a chameleon.:peace:

It will take me some time to reason out a way for that to occur. But I can start you off with the existence of the eye ball. That is sufficiently complex, is it not?

First, understand that mutations NEVER occur on a large scale. Or, if they do, they are so random that the born individual has zero chance for survival. Have you heard the story of a boy who was born with his heart on the outside of his body? That was due to a mutation, which was still comparatively mild. I know it seems extreme, but the vast majority of his human form is intact. The only type of mutation that is ever successful, in practice, is something as mild as say....skin color. In a region where UV rays are most intense, an individual with more pigment is more likely to survive. This increase in survival rate will most likely be TINY, on the order of 0.01% more likely. The individual with more pigment is more likely to survive, because the pigment absorbs light, which may have otherwise damaged the DNA of a given cell. Which, we refer to as cancer. Since this individual is 0.01% more likely to survive, he is that much more likely to reproduce. His offspring will carry similar characteristics.

Summary: Taking a random offspring of ANY parent, there's perhaps a 0.01% more likely chance of that offspring having dark skin (near the equator), than light skin. This 0.01% adds up over time, and it takes hundreds of thousands of years to show an apparent difference in the average skin colors of the individuals in a region.

So skin color. Simple. Lets get into something more complex. The eye, as I suggested. I assume by now, you are thinking the theory supports that one of the mutations had something similar to the eye, and it happened to work. Wrong. So deadly wrong.

Think of a small, blind being. A being smaller than even a mite, but still multicellular. Now forget for a moment, mutations happening on the large scale of the visible organism. The most basic mutations occur, per generation, on the cellular level. The basic mechanics of how a cell of that species works. In one of those mutations, perhaps there were a chemical, which when exposed to UV rays, undergo chemical reactions, changing into another chemical.

This does not help the species, but as it does not harm it, it is able to remain. Over time, a mutation occurs in which that chemical can be used. Here's why this may occur: Perhaps the being is more likely (even if slightly) to survive if is eating at night time. For what reason? Perhaps predators. Anyways. That chemical, modified by UV rays, could act as a clue, for when it's better to eat/hunt. A being with a tendency to hunt while there is a lack of UV rays (night time) may be 0.0001% more likely to survive.

Over time, the creature will rely more and more on this clue. What started as a patch of cells, may begin to take a larger portion of their body, and the patch may be concave (think of a hole, filled with primitive UV receptors). With this, depending on which cells contain that chemical which is modified by the exposure to UV rays, the being could grasp a basic idea of where the light is coming from. Not accurately, probably accurately only to 90 degrees. That's pretty bad. But, nonetheless, this could aid the creature in finding shadows, or light, depending on which is more appropriate for its survival, at the time.

The beings which are better suited at doing this (have a deeper hole containing light detecting cells) are perhaps 0.001% more likely to survive, and 0.001% more likely to reproduce successfully. This has an effect over a vast amount of time. And I mean, vast. This is no measly 1,000 year journey. That simple step would have taken a length of time that a human mind simply cannot fathom. Not even close. You can say the number, but you can not fathom what that length of time would entail.

I assume you see where this is going, and how in small steps, one tiny, tiny thing at a time, it could lead to the modern animal eye. I can show you an example of the entire process, if you do not understand where this is leading. I can do this. It will take me a very, very long time to type. I will do it, if that's what you want. It will take a lot, and I hope you are prepared for that. I also hope, if you do ask for it, you are asking because you genuinely do not understand, and not because you want to send me on a wild goose chase.

Wrong. Actually, at the sub-atomic level, everything is completely random. An atom does not have a specific location, it only has a location where it most likely is.

You're thinking in digital computing. A computer cannot generate a random number. When you enter quantum physics, you're playing a whole 'nother ballgame.

Oh you are correct, it's all theories. No one is claiming certainty. If they are, they should stop :grin:

It's useless to decide who's "correct", and more useful to weigh possibilities. And, you can only do that, by fully understanding both possibilities in question.

You're talkin about free electron, atom has specific bound to other atoms thru electrons location :grin:.

I see DNA sometimes when i'm meditating, the thing is, just seeing it is enough, i never think to ask what it is, why it is, what it does...
Sometimes the total awe of witnessing complexity, the mystery, is better than knowing the different aspects/components of the complexity
I think being in total awe is probably one of the greatest experiences possible

Indeed electrons aren't random, they are just hard to pin down because they are so small so we use the concept of electronclouds. The field HeartAndMind is talking about.

Thanks for that long post Unison was an interesting read. But I still can't get over the fact, that if mutations are random, and if changes occur in such small stepts, that the odds if similar mutations following up and adding up to eachother, are very very very small. Practically non-existent. Evolution through random mutation is mathematically impossible.

Can you explain? I don't really understand.

Correct me if I'm wrong. You do not understand how the original cell "poofed" into being?

I heard Crick used LSD to discover DNA but i didn't know he saw it meditating for a fact, i assumed he first saw it on LSD & then somehow tried to prove it in other ways, id like more info on that if you know of it... but in regards as how do i do it, sorry but i have absolutely no idea, sometimes its there, sometimes its not, i'm sure if i consciously tried to see it i probly would not be able to, or if i was able to, i would consider it a product of my intention/imagination, not an actual co-existent reality.

Something is weird about you chronic, when I read your posts I always get a really good unexplainable energy vibe! I rarely have this with other posts.

I don't have any more information on that woman tho.. I read it somewhere, but I forgot the source, too bad.

I wouldn't recommend smoking it put it that way :lol: its not fun
The only people i reckon should ever do it are serious meditators, and if i met a serious meditator i would never expect them to take DMT
Figure that one out & you won't need DMT :rofl:

I would highly recommend extracting some & growing crystals, its my latest hobby

I saw dna in the form of intertwined snakes on many of my Salvia voyages. A very common theme for me.

The old samsara snakes eh, i've had em appear quite a fair bit

This wasn't an intertwined medicine staff/kundalini type snake image but i just remembered during the first time i took LSD, only for about half an hour, whenever i closed my eyes i would see snakes snapping & lunging at me with bared fangs, but they were made of space & impacting on space so there was no threat, i've only done LSD twice but it was interesting the way its stretched out, i just felt it lurked in my system for much longer than any other psychedelic, the second time i took it it was about 6 good hits and i swear i could literally feel it in my blood for almost a week, it didn't feel clean or pure.

Hoffman called it medicine for the soul, i'd like to try the LSD he made to complete my hatrick :wink:
