“... I took a little trouble to find whether a single amino acid change in a hemoglobin mutation is known that doesn’t affect seriously the function of that hemoglobin. One is hard put to find such an instance.”
-- George Wald, as quoted by Murray Eden, “Inadequacies of Neo-Darwinian Evolution as a Scientific Theory,”, Mathematical Challenges to the Neo-Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution, editors Paul S. Moorhead and Martin M. Kaplan, pp. 18–19.
But our bodies couldn’t contain that 75 gallons of water, and without hemaglobin, no mammal could contain the amount of water necessary for it's survival. This, there is no possibility that an organism which has hemaglobin to evolve a need for it. Therefore, hemoglobin must have been present from the start.
Hemoglobin refutes evolutionism. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin greatly enhances the ability of blood to absorb and thus transport oxygen 60 times better than water. This means a 160 pound person would need 300 quarts of blood without hemaglobin to do the same work that 5 quarts does with hemaglobin.

@jeebersjumpincryst your answer to jasonking666 is an explanation why but i dont know the full details,i merely know hat each element prouces energy of a different wavelength when its energized.
this is how people analyze metals using the atomic absorbpon spectroscopy method or AAS for short, as to WHY it has that colour in particular.... no idea. tf00t would likely know since hes trained in imaging molecules. and would need background knowledge to do his job as a researcher.
@jason666king yea i agree with u, but without the abuse. saying its red cause of the iron and oxygen molecules is only a part explanation. i was expecting a full answer, with outer shell electron state of the molecules and how this affects different wavelengths of light (colours) and pauli exclusion principle. its physics and chem tho, not bio. tf00t usually explains things better.

God is so amazing, just look at this marvel of engineering! I don't see how anyone could ever deny the existence of God after watching this video. Atheist logic escapes me.
@spiderpig85 You think the universe was once the size of dot and that human beings evolved from single celled organiziisms and you tell me I don't have logic?
@tarstarkusz You see something which is complex and the ONLY way you can imagine it coming into existence is through the actions of a God, who is arguably far more complex than what he has "created". At least acknowledge that there are other ways that a hemoglobin might develop. As for your "It takes faith to be an Atheist" line of thinking, is your rationale something along the lines of "You cannot prove that God doesn't exist; therefore, atheism is based on faith."? Also isn't faith a virtue?
@Mandragara Some faith is a virtue, some is not. Is telling the truth ALWAYS a virtue? Of course not. (I see the 9th commandment as a law against perjury, not lying per se). I could imagine certain systems improving, but from single cell organisms to humans in less than a bllion years doesn't make sense. My understanding of the theory is that the first modern cells are only 1 billion years old, so most of your time is lost. Mammals are fairly young in your theory. Special creation makes < sense.
@tarstarkusz Complex single celled organisms have been around for 2 billion years, mammals have been around for about 200 million years. So mammals where around by the time the super continent Pangaea was starting to break up. I'm interested to know why you consider 1.5 billion years from the emergence of complex single celled organisms to the emergence of mammals to be too short, or 500 million years from the emergence of us to be too short. What time frame would be more acceptable to you?
@Mandragara That is a fair and honest question and tbh, I don't know really know how much time it would take,but 1 billion years doesn't sound like enough time to me.
@tarstarkusz Search Google images for "Hubble Ultra-Deep Field". You are seeing the universe as it was 0.8 billion years after the big bang. 0.8 billion years was enough to allow the formation of all you see in that image from simple hydrogen gas. If you need 0.8 billion for the evolution of all those objects, surely 1 billion for life on earth is not so conceptually implausible. A billion years is a very, VERY long time!
@tarstarkusz Whether you intuitively think that single cells forming into modern animals in the time frame at hand is outlandish or not is beside the point. It has evidence supporting its truth.
NO IT'S BECAUSE GOD COLORED IT RED AFTER EVE TOOK OF THE RED FRUIT OF SIN, TO MARK ALL HUMANITY AS SINNERS FROM BIRTH! BEFORE THE FALL, WE COULD NOT BLEED OR DIE SO WE HAD NO BLOOD! THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT RAN THROUGH OUR VEINS!
Just watched the "Why Blood is Red" vid. Geat Tech but couldn't help thinking you were trying to blind us with science (esp the size comparison between haem/human/moon distance).
Also, I feel that the question wasn't actually answered. Is there an evolutionay advantage? Or is it that simply because Fe atoms reflect all wavelengths other than red and that bound O2 alters slightly, by its presence,the wavelengths reflected (making it lighter). Would another element work?? BW RHS
@Rockinghorseshart I agree. wasnt answered. another element does work - horseshoe crabs and relatives use a copper - this makes their blood blue/green, but its WAY less efficient at carrying oxygen, so iron has the evolutionary advantage here.
@jeebersjumpincryst - thanks for that, but the next qu is "what is the evolutionary advantage for the horseshoe crab?
Cu group based haemoglobin will be efficient enough for the crab to function (evolution always has to be "just good enough" to enable an organism to pass on its genes of course).
I would guess that Cu haemoglobin means that the crab may bind O2 better when in water and on land or in different salinities. GOTO P2
It may mean that the crab and /or its predators sees in UV light and perhaps Cu haem is more camouflaged as its blood flows thru' its carapace (just guessing here as I'm not a marine biologist). whatever the reason the "god did it" brigade display an overwhelmingly spectacular level of stupidity that goes against the fundamental nature of us as humans, namely, we ask "how does it work" and then do our best to work out the answer. BW, RHS
@philthy122 of course it was,every things in that book of dreadful deceit.Its as if the so called scholars find a verse to fit the fact,I may be wrong hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa
@ArmadaVolya: The laryngeal? Not the only pathway that goes out of the way to service some older structure, then loops around to service some newer structure :P
Awesome video thunderf00t. The heme portion of the O2 delivery mechanism is kind of a big deal, and also why people with iron deficient diets can develop anemia. Vegans in particular often need to supplement their diets with heme iron, the kind normally found in meat, as they usually only get non-heme iron from a normal vegan diet.
@JamesHasAhugeHead I agree. But when we use words to represent numbers we, apparently, use some same words but they represent different numbers in different languages. I think that most European countries have another word for billion. So the word billion and trillion etc shifts up (represents bigger number) . Hope that clears things up.
One of my science teachers said, that we probably don't see the same color. For example, what I see as red, is for someone else blue and we all just call that color "red". Its depending on our brains, which color we see as "red". May that be possible?
The achievements it represents on so many fields, from the instruments build, to the chemistry itself, to the evolution that this bit of chemistry comes from, there is indeed a great beauty in it all.
@TheViciousSquare: Fortunately, the function of such a cheap microscope is not to actually see anything in technicolor detail, but to evoke curiosity.
@1om8cat You wasted your precious sperm by looking at it under a microscope? Monster! Don't you know that every sperm is sacred?? watch?v=U0kJHQpvgB8 Lulz. ;)
@Thunderf00t What are some safe (in theory) ways can we make our blood carry MORE oxygen through us than it normally does? I am a bodybuilder and I was wondering if there's a way I can can do this without killing myself.
@Viktir666: The way the sherpas do it: live at high altitudes, and let adaptation and evolution take it's course. In real short terms it means getting more blood cells into action, such as removing a liter of your own blood, extraction out the plasma and other bodies, and injecting it back in. The body will make short work of returning you to equilibrium in a day or so, though.
@Viktir666 Well, there is the perflourocarbons, but this would be more like the healing tank luke Skywalker is in in star wars. Other then that, boosting red blood cell count seems to be the only logical way. I do not know how you would do that.
@yocuck LOL I read up on it, I think I would have to find a way to wire up some extra kidneys into my body. Anyone mind getting rid of one for an experiment?
@MuffintopWarrior: Sure it is, unless you want to quibble over a missing pluralization. It is an unambiguous way of saying the old "British" billion, unlike the more common interpretation of a thousand millions.
@MuffintopWarrior: No. From the modern perspective he actually meant a trillion (i.e., 10^12, a million millions (10^6 x 10^6)). See, even you are confused by the meaning of a billion.
@MuffintopWarrior: ...and it is. To a non-"older British" it is a trillion. The British more or less gave up their use of billion as a million million to the more modern interpretation of a billion being a thousand million.
Old, deprecated way: billion = 10^12
Newer way: billion = 10^9, trillion = 10^12.
And I'm not being pejorative with the British stuff; they were the mainstays with that interpretation, though by no means the only ones using it, until about 1950. Some places still do.

WHY arteries appear more reddish compared to venous blood to naked eye
pitcher8889 3 months ago
Hi Thunder f00t,
Just watched the "Why Blood is Red" vid. Geat Tech but couldn't help thinking you were trying to blind us with science (esp the size comparison between haem/human/moon distance).
Also, I feel that the question wasn't actually answered. Is there an evolutionay advantage? Or is it that simply because Fe atoms reflect all wavelengths other than red and that bound O2 alters slightly, by its presence,the wavelengths reflected (making it lighter). Would another element work?? BW RHS
Rockinghorseshart 3 months ago
@Rockinghorseshart I agree. wasnt answered. another element does work - horseshoe crabs and relatives use a copper - this makes their blood blue/green, but its WAY less efficient at carrying oxygen, so iron has the evolutionary advantage here.
jeebersjumpincryst 2 months ago
@jeebersjumpincryst - thanks for that, but the next qu is "what is the evolutionary advantage for the horseshoe crab?
Cu group based haemoglobin will be efficient enough for the crab to function (evolution always has to be "just good enough" to enable an organism to pass on its genes of course).
I would guess that Cu haemoglobin means that the crab may bind O2 better when in water and on land or in different salinities. GOTO P2
Rockinghorseshart 2 months ago
@jeebersjumpincryst
P2
It may mean that the crab and /or its predators sees in UV light and perhaps Cu haem is more camouflaged as its blood flows thru' its carapace (just guessing here as I'm not a marine biologist). whatever the reason the "god did it" brigade display an overwhelmingly spectacular level of stupidity that goes against the fundamental nature of us as humans, namely, we ask "how does it work" and then do our best to work out the answer. BW, RHS

But where did the information arise from to make our hemoglobin?
HealthyCabbie 3 months ago
Awesome video thunderf00t. The heme portion of the O2 delivery mechanism is kind of a big deal, and also why people with iron deficient diets can develop anemia. Vegans in particular often need to supplement their diets with heme iron, the kind normally found in meat, as they usually only get non-heme iron from a normal vegan diet.

@JamesHasAhugeHead I agree. But when we use words to represent numbers we, apparently, use some same words but they represent different numbers in different languages. I think that most European countries have another word for billion. So the word billion and trillion etc shifts up (represents bigger number) . Hope that clears things up.
Have a nice day.

One of my science teachers said, that we probably don't see the same color. For example, what I see as red, is for someone else blue and we all just call that color "red". Its depending on our brains, which color we see as "red". May that be possible?

@Thunderf00t What are some safe (in theory) ways can we make our blood carry MORE oxygen through us than it normally does? I am a bodybuilder and I was wondering if there's a way I can can do this without killing myself.
Viktir666 3 months ago
@Viktir666: The way the sherpas do it: live at high altitudes, and let adaptation and evolution take it's course. In real short terms it means getting more blood cells into action, such as removing a liter of your own blood, extraction out the plasma and other bodies, and injecting it back in. The body will make short work of returning you to equilibrium in a day or so, though.
puncheex 3 months ago
@Viktir666 Well, there is the perflourocarbons, but this would be more like the healing tank luke Skywalker is in in star wars. Other then that, boosting red blood cell count seems to be the only logical way. I do not know how you would do that.

MuffintopWarrior 3 months ago
@MuffintopWarrior: Sure it is, unless you want to quibble over a missing pluralization. It is an unambiguous way of saying the old "British" billion, unlike the more common interpretation of a thousand millions.
puncheex 3 months ago
@puncheex So he cant just say a billion...sorry its just that when people say numbers like that it just doesn't sound right.
MuffintopWarrior 3 months ago
@MuffintopWarrior: No. From the modern perspective he actually meant a trillion (i.e., 10^12, a million millions (10^6 x 10^6)). See, even you are confused by the meaning of a billion.
puncheex 3 months ago
@puncheex ummm...you told me it was a billion...." It is an unambiguous way of saying the old "British" billion"
MuffintopWarrior 3 months ago
@MuffintopWarrior: ...and it is. To a non-"older British" it is a trillion. The British more or less gave up their use of billion as a million million to the more modern interpretation of a billion being a thousand million.
Old, deprecated way: billion = 10^12
Newer way: billion = 10^9, trillion = 10^12.
And I'm not being pejorative with the British stuff; they were the mainstays with that interpretation, though by no means the only ones using it, until about 1950. Some places still do.
