Evolution as Efficiency Expert

Feb 06, 2009 — Who would have thought that a lowly bacterium is a “master of industrial efficiency”? That’s what a researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science called it. E. coli, the best-studied microbe, “can be thought of as a factory with just one product: itself,” a press release said. “It exists to make copies of itself, and its business plan is to make them at the lowest possible cost, with the greatest possible efficiency.”

Dr. Tsvi Tlusty at Weizmann marveled at the efficiency of the machinery in the factory: RNA polymerase, which transcribes DNA into messenger RNA, and ribosomes, which translate the RNA into proteins. He described with equations the optimum cost of construction of a bacterium. The model accurately predicted how the bacterium would alter its construction strategies under stress. Experiments showed that is what happens.

But then, Dr. Tlusty earned Stupid Evolution Quote of the Week by...

Thanks for the ping. I like how Evolution is always given a will. Like it has some intelligent purpose. It’s the Master Creator.

You would think that sooner or later the Evos would realize that God’s creation is FORCING them to use the language of design and purpose.

More like the scientists (or journalists) think "laypeople won't understand it unless we anthropomorphize it."

Evolution is a blind, non-moral phenomenon, not a benevolent or intelligent "designer."

“laypeople won’t understand it unless we anthropomorphize it.”

Why is that? Oh, I know, it’s because of the God Delusion we all have.

No, it's because the vast majority of people are incapable of rigorous, scientific thought.

Oh, but the evolutionist are still wrong. Actually I think it’s because everyone has a god consciousness and the evolutionist are unintentionally showing they’ve replaced Jehovah with Evolution.

==Creation is a fairytale.

Actually, it is Darwin’s fanciful creation myth that is the fairytale. That is why it is crumbling under the ever-mounting weight of scientific falsification. Did you hear what the this evidence has forced the Evos to give Darwin for his birthday? Creationists have been predicting this eventuality ever since the time of Darwin:

Hbr 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
