Antibodies are formed by
an
aggregation
of 4 amino
acids (2 sets of 2 – 1 large and heavy set and 1 small and lighter
set). Could this system have evolved step by step? Could the process of
clonal selection (the defense mechanism's ability to clone {make another
cell just the same as itself} just the right defense cell to mount an attack
on invading bacteria) have evolved step by step? Hardly! The fight would
have been over long before evolutionary processes accumulated enough time
to reach the next step needed to vanquish
the invaders.
The problem of the origin
of antibody diversity runs headlong into the requirement for minimal
function. How does the body acquire tolerance to its own tissues?
These and other concerns
re: the complex functioning inherent in the integrated mechanisms of the
body effectively doom Darwinian explanations to frustration.
Irreducible
complexity (systems requiring several components to function) as evidenced
in DNA replication,
electron
transport,
telomere.synthesis
and.photosynthesis,
presents mammoth barriers to gradual evolution. To compensate for this
hurdle, evolutionists have devised the concept
of punctuated
equilibria, itself a crock of crap!
To keep the immune system
functioning effectively, one factor is that our tissues are kept at nearly
neutral pH (acid, alkaline balance) no matter what we seem to eat. Remarkable!
It is believed, in
error, that a virus causes AIDS, and that this 'virus'
mutates
its coat in order to evade the human immune system. Other viruses do mutate.and
become effective in spite of antibiotics; but they are still viruses. They
don't become something else.
One would think, that if
evolution happened over eons of time, and that in the development by means
of the principles of evolution involving natural selection, mutation and
survival
of the fittest; surely during all these eons of time, we would have
the ability to deal effectively with the common cold and fever at least
as well as some cold and fever medicines do. I mean, wasn't the common
cold threat always there too? (actually the key to avoiding the common
cold apart from getting lots of sleep, is to avoid those things which clog
the system, and deplete immune functioning, especially if they are things
which the body is overloaded with and cannot eliminate quickly enough through
breathing, sweating and going to the bathroom, necessitating that these
poisons be dumped into sinus cavities, etc.; listen to your body; ask questions
regarding what you are eating; build your immune system with good
nutrition,
plenty of sleep, regular
exercise, etc.).
Questions such as; what
switches
bacteriophage
from the lysogenic
to the lytic cycle?
It doesn't matter if you don't know what on Earth the lysogenic or the
lytic cycles
are, what to notice here is a remarkable mechanism that when one understands
the function, can be seen not to have evolved, and can be seen how remarkably
complicated are the processes to cause this to happen. Only some great,
brilliant intelligence far beyond us could have put it all together from
'stuff' we have yet to comprehend. Other interesting examples are in Michael
Behe's book.
Vision:.Darwin
in.The Origin
of Species, 'Organs of Extreme Perfection' section, shows that radical
innovations such as the eye would require generations of organisms to slowly
accumulate beneficial changes in a gradual process. However, gradual development
of the human eye appeared to be impossible as its sophisticated features
seemed to be independent. Furthermore, "the earliest fishes have sophisticated
eyes, and, the eye appears
suddenly in natural history." ...The Great Evolution Mystery,
Gordon R. Taylor, (1983), Harper & Row, New York, pages 101, 102.
Besides
the
human eye, animal eyes in some cases are radically different, especially
so in the case of the lobster eye, which caused a revolution in, of all
things, astronomy.
The lobster eye sits at the
end of a long stalk. It focuses light by reflection off mirrors at grazing
angles, not with a lens. It's not a case of which system sees better, but
rather God just 'throwin' us curves'
– ha ha! And, insects have ultraviolet vision to
see special markings. Fish retinas are very different
from human retinas. And the eyes
of an eagle...
The retina's
nerves link up to the visual cortex
by means of the LGN (lateral geniculate nucleus), a relay complex for the
eye's nerves.
It is
ludicrous
to think that any organism could live, let alone develop, during the thousands
of years evolutionists say it would take to develop an eye. That's not
all, however. There are five different types of eyes (that we know of)
– man's, squids,
vertebrates,
arthropods,
and trilobite eyes.
The changes evolution purports
are way to slow to account for the prodigious
change that has occurred in evolutionary history.
If evolution is forever
going on somewhere – like hello! Where?....continues
