Shedding Light on the Protein Big Bang Theory

March 13, 2009 — The precise three-dimensional structure of a typical protein molecule is so complex, its origin would seem hopeless by chance. What if evolutionary biologists were to discover a whole host of proteins literally exploded into existence at the beginning of complex life? We can find out what they would think by looking at an article on the “protein big bang” found on Astrobiology Magazine...

"Evolution seems to have quickly generated a host of “architectures” with diverse functions..."

And a bulldozer with deep rippers cutting through a meadow resulted in hunreds of buildings errecting themselves over night...

“...its origin would seem hopeless by chance...”

So the automatic default is the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible is responsible. End of story. No need for further investigation. Halleluja.

Do you suppose the Evos are starting to wake up to the fact that the Temple of Darwin has become a materialist religion that regularly depends on miracles to explain multitudinous “big bangs” of biological complexity?

This does nothing to solve the greatest failure of evolutionism—the inability to describe the origin of life in biochemical terms.

The theory of evolution is no more an "ism" than the Bible is a scientific theory.

Personally, I think the whole problem is an aesthetic one. Apes are ugly and they smell and have bad habits, such as masturbating in public and eating people's faces and so on, so people don't like to hear that they're in any way related to them.

It's my belief that if the theory of evolution said that we where descended from cats instead, clean, beautiful cats, then people wouldn't get so bent out of shape about it.

Besides, any theory of origins contradicts the Bible, not just the theory of evolution, but evolution bugs people the most because of the above-stated reason.

Evolution is simply their refuge from God; they don’t care what it looks like, as long as they can rationalize a way to lean on it.

They are too busy working late into the night collecting hard evidence and putting the puzzle together. The creationists, on the other hand, are in a zombic state rationalizing their faith.

...and I bet you understand less about protein chemistry than you do biology.

Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics,
and Probability of Abiogenesis Calculations
by Ian Musgrave
Copyright © 1998
[Last Update: December 21, 1998]

Problems with the creationists’ “it’s so improbable” calculations

1) They calculate the probability of the formation of a “modern” protein, or even a complete bacterium with all “modern” proteins, by random events. This is not the abiogenesis theory at all.

2) They assume that there is a fixed number of proteins, with fixed sequences for each protein, that are required for life.

3) They calculate the probability of sequential trials, rather than simultaneous trials.

4) They misunderstand what is meant by a probability calculation.

5) They seriously underestimate the number of functional enzymes/ribozymes present in a group of random sequences.

I will try and walk people through these various errors, and show why it is not possible to do a “probability of abiogenesis” calculation in any meaningful way.

.......

More inflammatory unsupported clap trap from the master poster thereof.

God is king, Jesus is lord, and Darwin is the street sweeper who dared to peek behind the curtain.

You mean the medschool dropout, turned theology student, turned amateur naturalist, who wrote a whole book reinterpreting the entire history of biology with no data other than a few minor variation between finches...you mean hat Darwin?

No data? I’d say his data was was far more complete than you give him credit for. But then, I’m certain that you can supply extensive data points to support faith? Convenient that you hold science to a higher standard than religion. Even when science meets the approved standard you choose to be the arbiter of God - note - he doesn’t need your help interpreting his Word. If science offends God I’m certain he’d let us know.

If ever there was a completely baseless faith, it is the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism, whose converts are busy trying to convince the rest of the world of the asinine idea that super-sophisticated bio-nano-machines merely give the appearance of design, and yet they can’t describe said “appearance of design” without invoking the language of design. Talk about beating your head against a cold stone wall!

Ok, here is Darwin's "Tree of Life" from Orgins. Please point to the data behind the data points:

Ok, here's the ‘god did it’ proof: an ancient text says god did it. we believe this text to be reliable because it says it is.
I'm a new poster here, been lurking for years. Not trying to mess the shine on your shoes GGG. Obviously you do a lot of research into the subject, but the matrix of knowledge that you're throwing stones at is an intellectually honest attempt to explain a massive inquiry.
To have an intellectually honest discussion, we have to start at-we don't know. Then proceed to build systems of ideas that are subject to the same objective rules of inquiry and proof. The dogma must be the process not the conclusion. Arguing from a conclusion usually winds up painting one in an intellectually dishonest corner.
I think it would help to first distill the difference between what we know and what we believe and to subject all ideas to the same rigor of proof.
One of the greatest aspects of a Constitutional Republic is that the marketplace of ideas is unencumbered.

The data came later, and confirmed Darwin's theoretic construct. Here we see the same pattern of a hierarchy of relatedness and divergence within human populations. For those of you in Rio Linda, the little numbers correspond to the counted number of differences between each group.

Do you understand ANY biology??

Again, I ask for the 100th time, what is your scientific background?
High school classes? College? Graduate school?

Why don’t you want to tell people?

Today ,especially, creationists can’t come up with anything to back up their point, so the start calling names.
