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 function in other processes than the flagellum which is directly contradicts the idea of 'irreducible complexity.'

A friend gave me "Expelled" to watch. I thought it may have some scientific evidence but not a single speck of evidence was presented. Only whining scientists who lost their job or didn't get a promotion because they were dishonest or not very good at their job. Stein twisted and distorted it to look as though they got persecuted. Very disappointing movie. No more gobbledygook from me. Do your own homework.

"DARWINIAN/MACRO EVOLUTION IS A FAIRYTALE FOR GROWNUPS.

IT HAS NOT BEEN OBSERVED, MEASURED OR REPEATED - IT IS SIMPLY BELIEVED."

It has been observed and it is not a believe. Stop talking about pseudo science and stop talking about the creation dream. If the creation would be true science would already proved that. But in fact evolution is the only possible and proved explonation and I guess you know nothing about macro and micro evolution. Please read an article on Wikipedia first.

the channel still have a desine .

the evolution is a responding from the organism for changes in the environment, so what change in the environment can make a channel turn into a motor for moving > this mean in one time the prebacteria had decided not to exchange ions >but only to move it does not make since>

You say like the motor of car can be created if we put its components in a vibrating space for many long time > and if some components match each other they will ever make the car move > their will not be a car u the cleaver.

[mahmoud abdeljawwad]

the other gob of the preflugellum means that this type of bacteria was not able to move > it can't live without moving it's from it's nature > moreover the bacteria has it's communication gates and channels already with the exterior > if the evolution is right it must give a moving proprieties for a preflagellum>

An outrageous fairytale for adults. Miller is trying very hard to protect his job as an evolutionist. Evolution and natural selection cannot create anything. But God sure can. God designed the heart that pumps blood in Miller's chest. He should be grateful for that!

What should take blame for? What did I claim? I wouldn't disagree with your assessment otherwise.  If, as you suggested, know very little about much at all, then assuming/asserting anything -like creationist ID- is an argument from ignorance.

Sure, blame the goal post, blame everyone else, but yourself. Just recently, the God particle has been discovered by the largest particle collider in the world in Europe, it has taken us all in a new direction. We now know there are alternate universes from which energy is coming from including the source of gravity, and space appears to be not empty like be formerly believed. We know very little about much at all. Anyone claiming otherwise is a fool.
