Enjoy the time God gave us on this floating rock. Anything else is a distraction.

Is there [substantive] scientific evidence for God? Is atheism a position of faith? Yes and Yes

30. Science quotes on God:

“Evolution is inextricably tied to inheritance.”
Replacing Darwin, Nathaniel T. Jeanson, Master Books, (2017).

A second year engineering student could design a better spine although the human spine does seem to work better horizontally, you know, the position from which it evolved.

The best evidence against intelligent design is chaos. It’s clearest propoents belong to satan. Let them rage at will. God and truth always win.

“ After the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003, a startling discovery was made. Only about 2 percent of the entire human genome codes for proteins. Scientists naturally asked, what is the other 98 percent doing?”
********************************************************************

Hmmm…. 2 percent for producing the “building blocks”. And the other 98% is “junk”. Somewhere in that 98% lies the “instruction manuals”.

The idea that the structure of individual proteins provides sufficient information to grow and maintain a living organism seems pretty far-fetched to me.

The growing organism needs guidance on when proteins are needed, where proteins are needed, and how much of any given protein is needed. Also required is guidance regarding how, when, and how much of a given pair of proteins might be needed. Any single protein by itself is unlikely to perform an important function.

My intuition would be that the amount of "junk DNA" needed to guide biological processes could vastly exceed the amount of DNA which simply codes for proteins.

Data segment.

Evolution requires going from a less complex to a more complex design in an open system. If we assume the probability is .99 for an individual step, 10,000 steps over billions of years for a creature becomes .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000224877484981609
