I love it when people show animals exhibiting the plasticity built into their DNA (any good design fit a changeable world is adaptable) to price evolution, and yet they end up with a slightly different colored version of the same thing that can still breed just fine with the original

quote:evolution does have big problems, at the cellular level as well as with the origin of life. There is so much stuff in the cellar machinery that is chicken and egg kind of stuff. You can't create RNA without a specific bit of cellular kit, but, you can't build that kit without the RNA in the first place, etc etc etc. There is a ton of stuff inside the very basic machinery of life(which is still massively complicated) that had to evolve spontaneously at the same time in one cell, from nothing but random soup of amino acids, fully functioning or you don't have something that is alive, something that can metabolize or replicate. There is no evolutionary advantage to carrying around bits of stuff instead your cell that won't do anything functional until and unless you get some other completely preposterously advantageous mutation in the same once cell, or a million generations later. This is where evolutionary biology takes a massive cop out. It's basically at this point they say well we are here so we know it happened so, um, there. And they leave it at that. That's not science.
