I have attached a couple of papers to go along with the Whitesides paper. The bottom line is that the essential macromolecules necessary for unicellular life can self-assemble and the unicellular organisms will also aggregate and propagate as multi-cellular organisms -evolution in the laboratory. No intelligent design here - just the laws of nature. [These were previously posted in this thread and I cannot re-post them here.]
Once life appeared the Darwinian theory probably applies, but certainly does not predict one species suddenly or even slowly transforming into another unrelated species, e.g. a fish becoming a frog. Just subtle accumulating changes in species enabling the exploitation of specific ecological niches that could result in separation and eventual speciation. No intelligent design required, just the laws of nature.
However, I did proved a definitive example of intelligent design and stipulated that this is irrefutable hard evidence for intelligent design. Intelligent design is therefore a fact.
I was wondering if it would be appropriate to discuss the philosophical, moral, ethical, political, and theological ramifications of that evidence? |
That is some huge supposition right there......
Has anyone observed the creation of life as you mention it....self assembled?
Inert to living thru the process you describe? I find that most interesting.
Is evolution controlled by any dynamic....no evolution, slow evolution, whiz bang overnight construct of complex elements?
