Life that arises from an unguided, blind process can’t happen
VERN BENDER
If something is working, it didn’t happen accidentally.
Randomness can’t even build a bobsled—ditto for natural selection.
Mechanical secular philosophy has more than a few spurious assumptions.
The mechanism is often contrasted with teleological explanations, such as final causation.
The mechanism is the belief that wholes are reducible to their parts. Human machines are more than the sum of their parts.
Cells are tiny packages that contain minute factories, warehouses, transport systems, and power plants. Rolling the dice can’t achieve that.
Cells contain automated machinery as they regulate the flow of materials in perfect unison through seemingly endless conduits. The level of control in these choreographed systems has nothing to do with chance.
Human organisms can’t function without their human machines.
The mechanism is the dominant form of reductionism in science.
Modern science focuses almost exclusively on the study of quantitive material objects. This leads to sterile conclusions and a lot of dead ends. In the 1600s, Descartes banished formal and final causation from science. Descartes dictated that all science must use valid deductions and self-evident truths. Descartes was a rationalist. Descartes identified reason with consciousness and self-awareness and distinguished this from the brain as the seat of intelligence. The mind is a nonphysical and non-spatial substance.
For over 150 years, scientists believed that the universe was built of randomness and natural selection.
The reality is this:
If something is working, it didn’t happen accidentally.
Randomness can’t even build a bobsled—ditto for natural selection. Time, matter, and chance couldn’t make a single living cell. A life that arises from an unguided, blind process can never happen. Life requires too much information.
The universe demonstrates immense specified complexity. Complex and specified patterns are everywhere in nature.
Ethical decisions are those that create the greatest good. In teleological ethics, consequences drive moral judgment.
Randomness can’t even build a bobsled—ditto for natural selection. Time, matter, and chance couldn’t make a single living cell.
The nucleus is the cell’s headquarters. The nucleus contains the majority of the cell’s DNA. The cell’s nucleus sends out messages to tell the cell when to grow, divide, or die. A plasma membrane separates each cell. This plasma membrane contains a range of receptors that carry out specified tasks.
There is a single-cell hierarchy for many tissues. The complete human tissue dataset contains over 100 significant clusters and over 800 subtypes. How random is that?
Cells as automated machines. They regulate the flow of materials in perfect unison through seamless conduits. The level of control in these highly orchestrated movements is a movable symphony. The complexity and sophistication of what occurs within a cell are off the charts. The DNA in one human cell holds information equivalent to 7,000 books. A single cell requires hundreds of thousands of bits of information precisely sequenced in its DNA explaining how life could arise from an unguided, blind process. Life requires too much information for the explanation of random creation to hold up. A living cell can’t just grow into full operational modalities. Natural selection itself is a vague imaginative construct of wishful thinking. The term lacks a referent that is empirically locatable or observable in nature. Natural selection has no empirically testable evidence for validating its existence.No innovative, and creative power can be identified.
There are 37.2 trillion cells in your body and counting. Body cells are called somatic cells. Somatic cells arise through the process of mitosis. The human cell is a typical eukaryotic cell surrounded by a plasma membrane.
There are many different cell types. They perform other roles within the body.
Lysosomes and peroxisomes are bags of enzymes. The plasma membrane contains a range of receptors, which carry out some tasks. These tasks include gatekeeping, communicating, binding cells together, and warning the immune system of invaders.
There are hundreds of different types of cells in the human body. Each new cell has a unique set of genetic information. It is this process that allows genetic diversity to occur.
Mitosis helps us grow, and meiosis makes sure we are all unique. Three types of cells in the body undergo mitosis. They are somatic cells, adult stem cells, and the cells in the embryo.
Neurons are the communication system of the body. Neurons have two major parts, the cell body, and nerve processes.
Every neuron in your brain has one long cable away from the central part of the cell. This cable is an axon. This is where electrical impulses from the neuron travel away to be received by other neurons.
