Ken Miller talks about the bacterial flagellum

Ken Miller discusses the error of the 'poster child' of intelligent design. He discusses the evolutionary history of the bacterial flagellum and how the parts both in groups and alone have functio...

This is like saying a Toyota could fall together over thousands of years
because each of its 10,000 screws, piston rings, wires, cylinders, ect each had a function. So what.
The Toyota does not work because the parts are not assembled. Anybody want to speculate on how many eons would have to pass before this machine would "fall together" by random chance, even with agitation and a confined space? You KNOW it never would!! Admit it.

What a ridiculous nonsense. Nobody thinks that way except you.

Of course the toyota wouldn´t fall together randomly. What a stupid argument...

A completely fallacious arguement from a scientific viewpoint. Just because we may find some use for ad portion of the flagellum is not to show how these parts would ever randomly mutate or "fall together" to form a complete flagellum. In the meantime, there is no propulsion system for the cell and it dies (or never was).

"not to show how these parts would ever randomly mutate or "fall together" to form a complete flagellum."

? Nobody proposes the idea that the parts could fall together to form a flagellum. So why do you question that??

"In the meantime, there is no propulsion system for the cell and it dies "

Cells without a flagellum don´t die since the flagellum is not necessary for survival. Most cell don´t have a any flagella.

Our education system's missing part is NUMBERs.

We think without numbers. İf you think without numbers, there are billions of possibility. For example, in chess, you say "Queen has more value than pawn" This is a JUNK KNOWLEDGE !!! Because there is No NUMBER, and a player imagine endless posibilities: Queen has %10 more value than pawn, Queen has % 11 more value than..., Queen has one million times valus, etc. Player can NEVER take RİGHT DECİDES until he/she learns that Queen has 9 times more value than pawn !!!

İf a student learn about Natural election and SMALL CHANGİNGs (Mutations) without NUMBERS, The student can imagine that mutations and (as their result) evolution can be posible. Lets think with NUMBERS: İf we imagine DNA as a rope (at 1 centimeter diameter), length of a single cells DNA will be 8000 kilometers !!!

İn every day, 40000 damages occur along this 8000 kilometers rope in every single cell !!! But There is a DNA repair system created by GOD: This systems repairmans can imagine about 10 sentimeters diameter balls if we imagine dna as a rope. The repairmans finds damages when they occcurs, and repair them immediately. How do they this ? First they dedect damage types.
After that, repairmans arrange molecules ATOM by ATOM !!! This is so comic :) Because atoms aranges atoms :)

There is only one difference: Arranging atoms are alive !!! How about repairing time ? How much time do you need to arrange 29 different colored balls ? A REPAİRMAN can do this job in ONE BİLLİONTH OF A SECOND. Your eyes can not see WRONG : making an atomic repair in ONE BİLLİONTH OF A SECOND !! ! We have billions of brain, we have millions of profesors, engineers, scientists . And we look only with admiration this repair system.
