Snowflake yeast clusters go from ~100 cells per cluster (left tube) to nearly half a million cells per cluster (right tube).

But does this yeast MAKE GOOD BEER?

They always want to start on first base, using God’s creation…

Unguided evolution!

After thousands of generations, their yeast ...

... was still yeast.

But it is still yeast. Still a single cell, doing the same thing yeast does.

Snowflake yeast clusters, eh?

Must be what they use to bake snowflake rolls.
Right?

IMHO, the Cambrian Explosion (and similar "explosions" like that in the archaeological record) is a glaring problem in the math of natural selection.

When repeated experiments on a scientific theory show that the model's math is off by a factor over 1,000, it's time to reduce the theory to a hypothesis or lower. The prediction by Darwinists is that archaeology would show a gradual speciation across billions of years from simple organisms to the advanced organisms we have today. But the Cambrian Explosion event recorded by archaeologists show that 50-80% of all known phyla sprang up into existence within a relatively brief 2 to 3 million year time frame about 500 million years ago. https://reasons.org/explore/publications/articles/the-great-unconformity-and-the-cambrian-explosion-conform-to-the-genesis-1-creation-account. Most evolution ("evolution" not necessarily being natural, but possible intelligently made like software evolves) occurred way too rapidly for natural selection to be the cause.

Two problems there.

1) How did they get to the “ancestor” stage.

2) How would the “Ancestor” get to the “Evolved” stage in a natural hostile environment?

It’s pretty darned easy in a test tube, but test tubes didn’t “evolve” until around the 17th Century AD.

Micro evolution. Not macro.

And so when are these super evolved experiments scheduled to escape the lab out into the wild?

Good way to examine gene function.

Won’t tell anything about what this article says.

“the yeast had evolved to form clusters of more than 500,000 cells”

Yet, a cluster is still not a multi-cellular organism. So their experiment was a failure. They’re just spinning it to keep the grant money flowing.

yeah. not evolution. adaptation of a sort.

the sad thing is that a corrupt gov’t bureaucrat (like faschi) is giving them our tax money to do this nonsense and lie about it.

But you really have to start with no yeast, right? Just water and lava or something.

I mean, if you want to be scientific about it.

Directed evolution requires a director. In this case, it seems that human direction ended up with yeast-wood.

All this proves is that it takes intelligent intervention to create an environment where yeast could become stronger and larger. Without that guidance, things fall apart. Entropy...
