Which one do you believe in,
Evolution with
the big "E" or evolution with a little "e"?
I think that there are two types of
evolution. There is Evolution, the theory
opposite that of Creationism presented in
the Bible. It deals with the beginnings of
life, the "soup" and the theory that life
was spontaneously made by chance
circumstances and the combination of just
perfect materials. Biochemists have tried to
remake the environment surrounding the
creation of the first organism but have
failed multiple times. Sir Fred Hoyle
mathematically figured that the chance of
Evolution occurring was 10 to the power of
20. Every single circumstance had to be
exactly correct for spontaneous life to
occur, chances of which are very slim.
Next, there is also "evolution," which
accounts for natural selection and mutations
of a species. Natural selection is extremely
present in today's world and can be viewed
in specific species such as Darwin's finches
in which one species eventually became split
into additional other species as a result of
mutations. I however do not believe that
such mutations can lead to a jump from say a
monkey to a human. That would require a
large amount of mutations, the chances of
which even go against time. In organisms
such as bacteria, which duplicate and
produce at an incredibly rapid rate,
mutations are still rare but occur more
often because of the rate of bacterial
reproduction. In humans, positive mutations
are very rare. The chances of a good
mutation occurring, a mutation that does not
kill the organism and that can be passed on
to the next generation is very, very rare.
All mutations can be considered bad because
that is how few of them are ever good
mutations. The chances of enough mutations
happening to lead from monkeys to humans,
are practically nonexistent. As opposed to
debating the worn out Evolution vs Bible
debate, for the next few posts, I want to
point out the intricacy of the world as it
is and how something as complex as all the
life in the world couldn't have evolved
spontaneously.
I first want to examine how life would be
impossible if even one little circumstance
surrounding the planet was changed. The sun
is exactly in the place that it needs to be.
If the distance between the earth and the
sun, which is 93 million miles, were changed
by even a slight distance such as 2 %, life
on earth would not be possible! If the
moon's distance from the earth was changed
and was closer to earth, the ocean tides
would be so high that continents would be
totally underwater twice a day! While these
little facts don't prove the theory of
Creation or the Bible, they always make me
wonder how unlikely it is that everything on
Earth is arranged so perfectly so that life
on Earth is possible!
