Evo-Devo, evolutionary developmental biology, this is the third revolution that biologist Sean Carroll says will explain how new forms most beautiful can be created by the god of materialism. The first revolution came when Charles Darwin published his seminal book on evolution, “The Origin of Species.” Darwin explained how, over eons, living organisms became diverse through a process called natural selection, meaning that nature decided which species had best adapted to their environment, and thus would thrive. The second revolution came with the merging of Darwin’s theories and the science of genetics. But neither of those approaches revealed how individual animal forms were made or how they evolved. That’s where Evo Devo comes in, attempting to explain a process through which a single- celled egg develops into a multibillion-celled animal, and why there are such deep connections among animals. And while this third revolution may seem complex, it’s based on

The second revolution came with the merging of Darwin’s theories and the science of genetics. In the first revolution, Darwin tells us that the origin of species, the diversity of all life on earth came from some warm little pond. This was possible because of natural selection. It was quickly discovered that natural selection (the fittest survive) could not have created all the new forms of life. At best it only acted on existing forms of life. No one knew what natural selection was acting on. Is this a problem for natural selection? No, not in Darwinian Fizzbin. Darwinists are committed to this game and the rules can be change and distorted in every which way to make Darwinism win. The Darwinists’ response would be “This is how science work. Knowledge is built incrementally and as science advances the gaps in our knowledge are filled. ” The problem with that
+ ≡ + ≡ The latest Darwinian rage is the newly sequenced Sea Urchin genome, which shows a surprising relationship to humans. I don’t know how much similarity we are suppose to have with the sea urchins, but I thought we would review what does past sequenced similarity mean. The two examples above show what it means to be human. If we combine rice genome (approximately 30% human) with a C. elegans (approximately 70% human), would we get Einstein? Or if we combine a mouse (approximately 80% human), with a daffodil (approximately 20% human), we would get another Einstein, right? I think even some of the Brights are smart enough to realize this is not going to work. So what does it mean to be X% human? Apparently to be X% human means nothing, in a qualitative sense. It is possible to be
