  • @pebbles1726 - Thanks for the clarification. It is a fascinating subject isn't it?

  • @jerramy It's not like that, Cells need to have a limit to their generational age, otherwise the fastest dividing cells whitch die the least will become the most previlent within a tissue/organ outstripping slower cells. Fastest dosen't mean best they make lots of errors, When these fast dividing cells aquire telomere lengthening ablities they become cancerous tumors.

  • I love your voice.

  • @jerramy evolution needs change, in other words; death and new born.

  • In evolutionary terms, I cant see how this method of replication could have been efficient in the survival of species.It seems like a design fault or even as if it were purposely designed to prevent cells replicating perfectly forever, thus condemning the organism to aging breakdown and death.Or maybe this IS an efficient design for survival of the species as a whole rather than the individual, because it allows for new organisms with new adaptive DNA to arise according to changing environments.

  • thanks for the video. it was helpful in understanding how aging depends on telomeres and telomerase!

  • @RMSCosta

    If evolutionists could produce in a laboratory a species with two of the same fused chromosomes and the extra centromere de-activated and this thing is survivable and fertile, then evolutionists can blow trumpets from the rooftops.

  • @Mdebacle Evolution is a theory achieved using the scientific method.

  • @RMSCosta

    Furthermore, per wikipedia 'chromosomal translocation' and 'trisomy', see the list of debilitating effects of chromosomal aberrations. Some people think a double whammy (two of the same aberration) will cure the problems. Evolution is an amazing religion that flat out throws away science.

  • @Mdebacle You are the worst kind of religious person, the kind that thinks they are educated.
