The Bad Taste of Evolution

Psalm 119:103

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

How do you make something that is sweet? For that matter, how do you make any taste? We're not talking about adding sugar to a recipe. Let's say that God provided you with all the atoms of the various elements you needed to make a molecule that tastes sweet. If you were to make such a molecule, you would need to know the construction of the sweet taste receptors on your tongue. You would need to know which molecular shapes would bind to those receptors. Then you would have to understand how all the different elements bind to one another and what molecular shapes they would have.

The complexity of this task was well illustrated when researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison released a computer model of a protein called brazein. Brazein is 2,000 times sweeter than sugar and found naturally in a West African fruit. Brazein's coiled molecular shape is responsible for its sweetness, but if the molecule uncoils, it loses all its sweetness. Its structure closely resembles scorpion poisons and proteins used by some plants for self-defense. The more we learn about how things work in the world around us, the clearer it becomes that everything that exists has been carefully designed to interact in very specific ways. We learn more about this Creator, though, not from molecules, but from His holy Word.

Prayer: Dear Father, grant me understanding as I study Your Word. Amen.

Not 99.9%.  99.99%, and that's from a CREATIONIST FUNDED POLL. Wishful, my ass.

[MadeUThink]

Are you serious? "God hating professors"? So the 99.99% of earth and life scientists on the planet are conspiring against the invisible space genie that mom and dad told you was real when you were a baby? No wonder people laugh at you.

[TinBryn]

or you could create a whole bunch of molecules and pick the sweetest of them, if you made enough you have a very high chance that at least some of them will be very sweet indeed.

[hoygans]

"I cant explain how these proteins are so complex so Goddidit." Very good logic and reasoning there.

[KingHodor]

If god created sweet proteins to please human taste receptors, why did he only put them into plants that grow in remote jungle regions of Western Africa (Brazzein, Pentadin, Thaumatin, Monellin) and South East asia (Mabinlin, Curculin)?

And isn't the fact that protein sweeteners are very closely related to other proteins of wildly different functions a convincing argument AGAINST the creationist idea of "irreducible complexity"?

"You have'nt even the beginings of a clue of my level of biological understanding "

That is pathetic. If you have this knoledge use it! A smart person 'is' they dont claim to be.

[JustB3NJI]

You're fuidic blather has never been observed outside of a womb or an egg, btw. It never happened the way you wish to twist it into.

I had the experiment done in front on me....YOu speed it up with some minor jolt of electricity and we had to go to uni to have the technology to better observed this microscopic phenomenon, but er yes it has.

[JustB3NJI]

@3gdosrsfs Yer, er, I doubt they are all working on the same things. I doubt Einstien was proof reading darwin whilst giving Edwin Hubble a helping hand.

[3gdosrsfs]

Oh you mean those same scientists just recently caught witholding data to show that global warming is a scam? Yeah I guess I trust them(not).

You're fuidic blather has never been observed outside of a womb or an egg, btw. It never happened the way you wish to twist it into.

You have'nt even the beginings of a clue of my level of biological understanding so the add hom attack is like always useless in your defense.

Now...I do not care what scientists believe. Show me the testable facts.

[JustB3NJI]

Scientists have obseved this in a lab on a much smaller scale. So is the "magic" of carbon! Although that magic disappears when you discover the truth.

Tell me does your 3 in 1 god neutalise smells kill bacteria and leave a fresh pine scent at the same time? I had the bible read out to me around 6 times in school. I know enough to know what you say is merly an interpretation and that other Abrihamic sects would disagree with you - Jovos jew and muslims for a start. Easy you forget that.

[JustB3NJI]

@3gdosrsfs What the primodial goo?

Call it magical if you wish, no scientist does and if you did biology beyond high school you'd know a bit more.

This whole concept your twisting is based upon the popularalised and lamenised description. It is merly a case of the building blocks of life being in proximity of one another in an ideal fluidic environment. They meet and in this fluid and like the two poles of a magnet they natually connect when close enough and this builds up from there very slowly

[3gdosrsfs]

No actually He is three persons.

Hey also go look up what a person actually is. Or look foolish. The bible tells us He, God, is 3 such persons so clearly He, God , can have supernatural powers...not magical(slight of hand

which is not supernatural BTW.)

Helps to actually understand the terms you use before looking silly trying to look like you know what you are talking about.

Funny how you ignore the magical pond statement, isn't it? LOL!
