Yeah Enco just let the market handle all of those niche opportunities to be magnanimous. It is not like Businesses won’t prioritize profits over public welfare.

As to lobbying you got that part right. But lets see, why is our government sold out to big corporations? How is it that they write the laws through their oracles the legislators? Oh…[Read more]

ever-greater fitness and adaptation

That is a misconception. As everything else is also adapting, creatures must adapt as well. It is not “ever greater” but adapting to the circumstances of the moment. Organisms may emerge with greater complexity in some cases but not always and that is not the same as greater fitness and ada…

Unseen,

I thought I told you about this earlier: Get rid of the requirement for a Government-issued “Certificate Of Need” to build a hospital, then Atheists and anybody else can pool their butter-‘n’-egg money and build a hospital and hire the Doctors, Nurses, and Medical Staff to run it.

Also, stop the American Medical Association from lobbying…[Read more]

Surely the cell can exist as some kind of bubble.  You can have proto-cells.

Once reproduction starts, there must be some kind of ratchet effect that leads to ever-greater fitness and adaptation.

But an organism has to be adapted to its environment, or it can’t do well, and will be selected against by natural selection.

Those cells that are best at surviving and reproducing in an environment will become the dominant paradigm.  Reproduction of any kind is the key innovation,…[Read more]

@Simon Paynton.

An accelerated simulation  showing that happenstance can design and control a system can be offered as evidence. There is no such simulation to date. However the partial simulation  of known cells structures has been attempted.  Google these simulations you might mine some progress.

The synthesis of DNA building blocks from RNA precursors is a major argument in favor of RNA preceding DNA in evolution…. Yes, that is why scientists are not “already in a quandary”. The science around it, while not settled, is rather compelling. I also agree that evolution is more of a tinkerer that an engin…

Natural selection over millions of years? You need nano machinery working day one in a cell. And it must be engineered and govern by feedback control.

Right…! nano machinery, of course! The illuminati have a secret lab behind that pizza place.

Moral principles are ideal forms or concepts.

Sigh

I only count to three.

Moral principles are ideal forms or concepts.  Each one consists of a particular ideal pattern of behaviour within various situations.
