Ureeyso aka Verbal Bunny,
You said: Darwinian evolution* relies on random point mutations…but the studies illustrated that on both *theoretical* and *experimental* grounds, the broad sweep of evolution can’t be based on random mutations…on *theoretical* grounds, the probability is just 2 diminutive 4 random mutations, even with the filtering of natural selections, 2 lead to a new species.....on *experimental* grounds, there r no known random mutations that have added any genetic information 2 the organism.
Reply: Random point mutations are niether beneficial nor harmful. They simply add to the genetic diversity, the raw material Natural selection acts on, of species's gene pool. Point mutations make up the majority of all mutations.
There are harmful mutations which are eliminated from getting into the gene pool either before birth or shortly after birth. Harmful mutations don't all manifest physically, some can be 'unseen' and affect the biochemical bathways of the organism. But they are nonetheless removed from getting into the gene pool of the species.
A very small percentage of mutations are beneficia. The percentage of these can be as low as 1% out the total genes present in the gene pool. So is it possible such small amount useful genes play any sort of a role in the evolution of species?
The answer is yes. Despite seeming counterintuitively unlikely, from theoritical point of view, there is no reason why they shouldn't. As you may recall all mutations (excluding the harmful ones) are continuously being added to the gene pool. They are always there, carried by one or few individuals. These individuals pass them on to their offsrpings and their offsprings will do the same and so and so forth. They are always there in the gene pool waiting for the call of Natural Selection when the what these genes code for will give the organism better adaptiblity.
Experiments done on bacteria and other species (fruit flies, yeasts, etc) back this up. When bacteria were subjected to antibiotics, their numbers dwelled down significantly. But they didn't all die out after the initial decline in numbers becuz the ones with resistant mutant genes gained the upper hand via better reproduction rate compared to the rest. Subsequently, the population size stabilised and normal growth rate resumes. This new population is mostly resistant to antibiotics as they inherited the mutant resistant genes.
From theoretical and experimental perspective, mutations are the bread and butter of evolution
You said: yet again in spite of all the molecular studies that have been done on mutations, not a single 1 has been found that adds any genetic information… they all lose information…. there’s conversely both direct and indirect confirmation that some evolution has occurred…how did it occur?...it might be more sagacious if he asserted that it occurred by *non-random* mutations….*non-random* here means that the environment itself manipulate how mutations can occur….atleast there’s extensive evidence 4 evolution by *non-random* mutations ……*evidence that spans life forms from bacteria through vertebrates*….
Reply: define what you mean by 'genetic information'? Whatever information mutations may carry, they ALWAYS add that to the gene pool of the species and the genetic make up of the individual. But first define specifically what you mean by genetic information. If you mean what I think, that is genes with specific codons coding for the production of various protiens, then mutations DO add to the genetic information of the organism. That is the purpose of point mutations!
The environment NEVER 'manipulates' production of mutant genes. They are produced during cell divisions. They arise spontanuously. They environment only selects individuals with advantageous mutant genes.
You said: bro, that’s the mathematical problems that call the theory of evolution into Qs…unless these tribulation can be overwhelmed, the theory of evolution is in trouble...in an organism is very small, reducing the probability that this kind of evolution can occur….*there’s where the 1: 10500 came from*…it’s the probability ratio of numbers of useful genes produced contrasting 2 the discovered 1...
Reply: Why do you need mathematical calculations to accept or reject Evolution Theory? Probability calculations for the chance of a particular protien forming secussfully have been shown to be meaningless many times.
First, these calculations rely on modern protiens as suppose to primordial protiens which were the acting ingredients for early life. Second, they rely on the assumtion of there being fixed number of protiens and their sequences. This is not what evolution theory proposes nor is what abiogenesis, the theory describing how life arose from non-life chemicals, says. Third, these calculations are falty in that they are based on the assumption of sequential rather than simaltaneous trials. Forth, these so called probability calculation are not probability calculations at all. For more detail, see this link:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abiopro ... tml#SearchYou said: how could I adopt *evolutionism* and take it as alternative of *creationism* while it couldn’t even depict how the 1st living organism formed…huh, on the other hand, *Allah* represented unambiguously how the brain is formed and functioned in the *Quran*
Reply: As I said before and many other times, Evolution Theory is not intended to explain how first living organism was formed. Rejecting it for not doing so is not legit reasoning. You don't reject a theory for what it is not intended to explain but how well or lack of it explains what it is attempting to explain. Personally, I believe the fact Evolution Theory doesn't delve into the origin of first life form, leaves the door open for creationists to accept it as how we humans evolved. What do you think? I know it would mean ditching Eve and Adam story but compramise may be worth it given the overwhelming empirical evidence for evolution.
You said: here where I get the chance 2 ask u,*How could a life occur from lifeless chemicals*
Reply: That is covered by Abiogenesis theory. The gist of the theory can be summerised as the following;
1. There existed lifeless chemicals, principally inorganic chemicals. These along with all the other chemicals present in early earth were the product of the creation of the earth AND the continuous bombardment by comets and asteroids which carried with them elements like iron, sulphur...
2. Once the earth's atmosphere stabilised and became conducive to for life forms to exists, the process of lifeless chemicals turning into precursors for living organism's evolution commenced.
3. Openly conceding not knowing what initially instigated lifeless chemicals to eventually form life chemicals, scientists hypothesis that living organism arose from lifeless chemicals spontaneously. They made predictions about the mechanisms of this process and have cried out experiments testing these predictions. Interestingly, these experimentals have demonstrated that it is more than mere possibility for lifeless chemicals to turn into life chemicals, it is actually demonstratable. Later verified by the Miller-Urey experiment and follow up experiments. I posted the link to the experiment somewhere in this thread, go fish it out.
That is the crux of the abiogenesis theory but there is alot more to it. For detailed info, google search abiogenesis theory and have a read. Again, for reminder no shortcomings of this theory, abiogenesis, will in the slightest bit discredict evolution theory.
You said: well the fact remains that there’s no scientific substantiation that life came from nonliving matter
Reply: Not YET. But we have shown it possible to go from lifeless chemicals to chemicals needed for life organism. Science is tentative, hence we may have more knowledge of this subject in the future.

So don't be hasty to your conclusions.
You said: *there’s where the 1: 10500 came from*…it’s the probability ratio of numbers of useful genes produced contrasting 2 the discovered 1….
Reply: Again, probability calculations are irrelevant for the reasons I explained above. See the link for detailed explanation.
You said: after the Q of the origin of the universe itself, this is the next gigantic Q…*How did life get here* …once you establish that the universe had an initiation and didn’t arise on it’s own from nothing, it should be palpable that life also did not arise on its own from lifless things…..*evolutionists* nevertheless insist on proceeding with the notion that life originated by a lucky accident and evolved through purely physical processes of random mutation and natural selection without the aid of an intelligent creator and designer…their assumed progression from simple life forms evolving to complex life over billions of years seems 2 overlook the 1st issue…*How did life generate from non alive*"
Reply: What you said above contains many questions, I'll try answer all of them. How did life get here?
Well, according to evolution theory life didn't actually 'get here' but evolved from primordial elements. From our limited knowledge of our universe, only our planet can support life. As the rest of the planets are either too far from the sun, hence too cold to support life, or too close and therefore too hot for life to exist. The reason why our planet is best positioned from the sun has no agreeable answer other than being purely accidental.
No credible science theory, more precisely cosmological theory, states the universe came from 'nothing'. Of all the cosmological thoeries at debate currently, none say that the universe came from nothing. All have the universe originating from pre-existing universes or being part of larger mega-universe. Science doesn't accept something coming from nothing. That is in the realm of religions. Science believes in cause and effect with noted exceptions.

Reply: well...are you going to do or not? what you wrote below doesn't do it for me albeit chuckle's worth
You said: beside I perceived that u r insulting me cause of my *stinky* smell, well nigga… don’t neglect ur malodorous fart, which can be used as *weapon of mass distraction* cause it can slaughter a batch of ppl as they initiate whiffing ur chemically fart…it’s enough 2 utilize u as terminal weapon, if *Somalia* ever deliberate of eliminating *Ethiopia*… all what we should execute is, compel u 2 fart while u running around a particular town or city, massacring every breathing creature who inhale it….
