| Jirakon said: How does it even happen? Natural selection does just what it says; it selects from existing traits. It doesn't create new ones. No matter how a species mutates, whether through deletion, repetition, or interchange it never involves addition. In what order did it happen? The human body has eleven systems. Ten are needed to survive, and the the other one to reproduce. So which one evolved first? They all need to work together. Even with systems, various organs are useless without the other pieces. On top of that, there's one system that's useless without another system in a different body! How could the original species evolve two different sets of reproductive systems? Their interdependence means that they would have to evolve in the same environment at the same time. And even if that happened, how could each of them be more beneficial than asexual reproduction, but not more than each other? How did it start? If evolutionists claim that they know a situation in which life can spontaneously arise from non-life (a reducing atmosphere and whatever else), then why can't they just lay our doubts to rest by recreating that situation in a lab and producing life? I understand that scientific theories often don't answer every question, but at least they answer some fundamental questions. This theory of macroevolution just doesn't seem to answer anything. Creationism isn't about a blind faith in any particular supernatural power, such as the God of the Bible or anyone else. That's a different discussion for a different time. All I'm saying is that I believe bacteria only produce bacteria and humans only come from humans, and that it makes more sense than the idea that humans come from bacteria. |
I am going to take each point you said and edit it. I took off the first paragraph since it was irrelevent.
Natural Selection, as you said, selects genes that exist in an organism. Natural Selection never makes new information, but mutations do. Any bad mutations are removed since they do not help the probability of survival, might even hurt it's probability. Mutations that benefit the organisms are selected and passed on to the next generation. Mutations with Natural Selection adds new information, not just natural selection alone.
Well, think of it this way, some of those systems were not needed to survive in our primative past. For example, even today some single celled organisms do not use many of the systems we do. Some organisms have a couple have a couple of the systems we do, but since we evolved in a particular environment that does need all of them, only those with all the requirements can survive in that environment while some environments don't require of those systems.
Evolution does not explain the origin of life, only the diversity of life once life emerged. Scientists have created many of the early earth conditions and have made many compounds to the origin of life. Scientists have not yet done so since abiogenesis took a very long time so they are trying to find a way to speed up the process so we can observe that event in our lifetime.
Humans did not come from Bacteria. Bacteria and Humans shared a common ancestor that resembled more like bacteria than human but both organisms have evolved and specified to their environment. No scientist believes we evolved from current bacteria.
