Facilitated variation is the first comprehensive theory of how life works at the molecular level, published in 2005 by systems biologists Marc Kirschner and John Gerhart in their book The Plausibility of Life: Resolving Darwin’s Dilemma. It is a very powerful theory, is supported by a great deal of evidence, and the authors have made it easy to understand. It identifies two basic components of heredity: (a) conserved core processes of cellular structure, function and body plan organization; and (b) modular regulatory mechanisms that are built in special ways that allow them to be easily rearranged (like ®Lego blocks) into new combinations to generate variable offspring. Evolvability is thus built-in, and the pre-existing molecular machinery facilitates the incorporation of new DNA sequence changes that occur via recombinations and mutations. The question of origin becomes especially acute under this new theory because the conserved core processes and the modular regulatory mechanisms have to already be in place before any evolution can occur. The new molecular evidence shows virtually all the main components of neo-Darwinian theory are wrong...

We are almost to the universal laws of biology I promised. This paper is absolutely astonishing, and will help you understand the universal laws paper, when it comes. I’m thinking of posting it over the weekend when I have more time to participate in the thread.

Oops. Accidentally wandered into the ghetto. Sorry. See ya!

Shoot, I took bio 101 a couple of years ago and figured that one out. If the mutation isn’t in the egg or sperm, it doesn’t get inherited. Does this mean I’m a genius?
Actually, this might have helped lead you out of the pseudo-scientific and spiritual ghetto that is the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism.

Are you sure about that? Perhaps you should read the article. That is, if you want to come out of the dark ages of the neo-Darwinian synthesis. Ever wonder why Darwin lost his tree of life? Ever wonder why the neo-Darwinists turned out to be completely wrong with respect to “junk” DNA. Ever wonder why the Evo phylogenetic trees are being falsified left and right? If you are, this would be a good place to start.
Great info thanks for sharing.
You are confused.
darwin’s theory is the mutation DOES happen in the sperm and egg. It’s an accident if that mutation turns out to be useful. But if so, the mutant lives and reproduces...ALOT.
tada. Evolution.
Allow me to be the first to say (and I think I am not alone here...)

Huh?
My pleasure. It’s a little work to read, but well worth it!
Here’s the last line from the article:
“...See? Just like it says in Genesis. The End.”
More creation rationalization pablum for gullible, weak-in-faith Christians from a site that posts non-reviewed articles written by charlatans and hucksters.
Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.
If the post is a little challenging, you might want to start out with the links in reply #1. They will bring you up to speed. Prepare to have your mind completely blown by just how sophisticated biology really is. It makes the neo-Darwinian synthesis look like a stone-age understanding of biology/diversity/origins.
Actually, I’m just a Christian who knows that God hates to see the brains that he gave us put to waste.
You have Darwin Derangement Syndrome.
Only if God is lying.
God understands and appreciates allegory. He’s surprised that you don’t.
Great, yet another scientific criticism of evolution that the evos on here will not be intelligent enough to understand, much less respond to intelligently....
