evolution works by the non-random selection of random mutation.
natural selection accumulates favourable random chance events.. the experiment that was began on 24th february 1988 on e coli bacteria by dr richard e. lenski and his team is surely one of the clearest demonstrations of the power of this process.. e.coli is one of the commonest bacterium on earth, there is around 100 billion, billion of them in the world at any given time and around 1 billion of them in your gut right now.
most of the time they cause no problem, until a new strain wreaks havoc on its host's digestive system.. if we assume the probability of a particular gene mutating to be 1 in a billion, the size of the population is so high that just about every gene in the e.coli genome will have mutated somewhere in the world every day.
Cofty,
So... this is how I understand it:
It's like dropping a drop of water into a sphere that has a "smooth" section... i.e. infinitely many possible paths, at first... but then there is a section where the paths are well-defined and it MUST go through that evolutionary path?
I guess it shows that natural selection is anything BUT random. Randomness could NOT have accounted for the same changes in the same genes... the odds are just too low!

Hi Orphan Crow,
It is appalling how bad the Mexican news system is. Literally an "Onion-like" article went even into the "mainstream" media.
I run an exJW page on Facebook for Hispanics and of course this news was interesting. So I called the Senate, they told me that no one can know what will be discussed in the Senate previous to it being discussed unless you actually know the Senator who will introduce the bill and he lets you in on it.
I called the "mainstream" newspaper that ran the story and the reporter REFUSED to give me any information regarding source... none of the names of the people mentioned in the story checked out, also.
(I.E. that "minister of religious matters" is nonexistent).
Then I called a couple of other newspapers to see if they knew anything and they said they got the story from the first newspaper I called.
Zero investigative journalism.
part 1 - protein functional redundancypart 2 - dna functional redundancypart 3 - ervspart 4 - smelly genes.
in part 4 we saw that roughly half of the 800 genes in the human genome that code for olfactory receptors are broken remnants of our evolutionary history.
they were vital to our distant ancestors but in humans, as in our primate cousins they have been allowed to fall into disuse as our eyes became more important to our survival than our nose.

Hi Cofty,
I do not understand the math of the "59 genes".
The genome of the E.Coli bacterium contains 4,403 genes made up from 4,639,221 base pairs. So what are the chances of the same mutation happening independently in 2 populations? Fairly low but not unreasonable. So what if we find 2, 3 or 4 mutations the same? Now it’s getting remarkable. But 59 changes in the same genes in both populations! Here is an event, or series of events, that defy stupefying odds that would beggar belief if it were not for the fact that it actually happened in the lab and the evidence is there for any competent scientist to examine.What is the math for these odds?Is it (1/4403)^59?
This is the whole point about the power of natural selection, it achieves things that appear impossible through the step by step accumulation of favourable changes. Both tribes had independently discovered the same 59 mutations out of all the millions of possible changes.Could you expand a bit on this?

Hi Orphan Crow,
That news is fake. I have actually called the Mexican Senate and there is no such thing.
