Expelled - Creationism disproved

Many Intelligent Design proponents often cite the complexity of the eye as proof that the eye is so complicated that it could not have evolved. Here scientists and educators explain how the eye fits very well into Darwin's evolution model.


We are here to call out Ben Stein and his ludicrous ideas that are the spotlight of his new movie Expelled, about Intelligent Design. Expelled is a manipulation of lies that repackages religious creationism as Intelligent Design and teaches it as science in public schools. We must stand up to keep religion out of our public schools' science education.

Why is this video rated so lowly?

Deriving phylogenic hierarchies based on single genetic markers (especially 18S rRNA) will provide many issues.

Ideally, you would utilise the entire genetic structure and all it's markers to provide an accurate genetic nested hierarchy.

Alternatively, one of the more robust sequences such as cytochrome c.

[djarm67]

However, any "single" marker method, will create a flawed phylogeny somewhere. It's the combination of all markers which will provide the clearest indication.

Yup, living ones are basically the same as their ancestors, while some evolved to the next step. So basically the entire evolution is still alive, in this case.

Toe-mate- toe, toh-mah-toh which way do you prefer to say it.

[SIrWIGGLEsRy]

Uggghh.. Such a weak argument.. They like to say its small developments over time, however there would be nothing coaxing the process along like the development of the human eye in the fetus where there is a DNA plan set out guiding it along. What Creations are trying to say is how does breeding produce something so complex and purposeful with nothing to lead it along?

[TheRationalist76]

@MrTmapp Not true. If it is not necessary or in the benefit of the Mussels to gain fully fledged eyes then it would not occur. The point of natural selection is that a trait that will allow for a species or organism to stay alive is what will stick. If variation occurs over a long period of time and that variation is helping the species stay alive it will further and, in the case of the eye, become fully fledged.

well this video has proven the reason of why the wave function collapse in quantum mechanics.

( Sarcasm )

[LesPaul2006]

@Chiefpokeaho Natural selection. Read about it.

[dooivid]

@MrTmapp the point of this video is that every transition from a simple eye to our complex eye is a functional step visible in living species. Mussels get along just fine without complex eyes, which is why they're alive and well. you need to revise your text books on the subject.

Voteboting is a modern version of the inquisition, religious people are trying to stop the ideas that are dangerous for their religion, think about this: never god himself tries to stop the ,,infidels" only people are trying to stop people, religion is only a human idea.

[MrTmapp]

All of these "eyes" exist in "modern organisms" that are alive Today, they never evolved and changed or Mussels would have fully fledged Eyes. What a ridiculous example.

[sabertooth1980]

@Chiefpokeaho What is more beneficial to the organism? Being able to tell when a shadow is passing by or not? There isn't any "goal" in evolution, it is merely the trait of those who surviving thriving. The cells don't need to know anything. And evolution doesn't happen over the course of on generation. You were paying attention to the "scores of generations" part right?
