And many other things genetic. The presenters provide revealing information about how our understanding of genetics has changed in the last seven decades. Very easy to follow:

The human genome is much more complex than anyone imagined. In fact, the level of complexity argues directly against any sort of evolutionary origin for the code that makes us.

Interesting. A CMI video made it onto SOTT.

Such a pity CMI is pro-COVID hoax and hardcore pro-vax. No critical thinking ability in that area.

Tsidkenu Nobody goes against the PIC and survives...

DeliciousTears I actually exchanged about 18 emails with the Australian CMI director late last year about the topic. He refused to answer my technical questions and basically just labelled me 'conspiracy theorist' as if that proved all of his pathetic arguments.

Never been more glad to free myself of such incompetence, although that by no means discredits their other materials such as the above.

Tsidkenu Whenever I contradict Darwin/Chambers/et al, the assumption is made I'm a "Jesus Freak" creationist.

When I point to the impossibility of 'random' things bumping into each other creating functional DNA it becomes more clear. Darwin's model, although certainly prescient for his time, might very well explain white squirrels on the North Rim of the GC (snowy) and brown squirrels on the South Rim (mostly dry desert), it can not explain the emergence of functional novel complex systems without an infinite timeline.

An infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of keyboards may eventually produce all the greatest works of literature. We however have a short supply of both monkeys and time and thus 'mutational' evolution as I like to call it, falls far short.

I gave a lecture once on how DNA was essentially a base-4 based computer program written by someone. If you want to call them God, then that's ok. How all plants and animals are comprised of the same code is quite telling. It's essentially an adaptive codebase that fails quite often but does quite a bit better than I could manage.

I thought a long time ago why not a compromise, a half hour ahead and leave it there? Sort of a bit of each, but not the extremes of either. I...
