Boeing 747s and Other Misunderstandings about Evolution

perhaps the most common misunderstanding that prevents people from grasping evolution is complexity.. we see it almost daily on the forum where people mention dna or the eye or any of a multititude of examples and ask how it could have arose "by blind chance"?.

whenever you see a reference to chance and complexity it is obvious the person hasn't yet grasped the basics of the theory.

chance is only one part of the process.

Einstein was a brilliant scientist but not a theologian. So whether he believed In a personal god or not doesn't really have anything to do with anything.- coma

I hear you point, but it is my understanding is, he was a religious philosopher as well as a physicist, I am aware he wrote books on both topics. Dawkin's books have comment's such as "uneducated churchgoer" "creationist's believe", when discussing biology Dawkin's doesn't leave God out of the lab, he fundementaly asserts that there is no God.

Dawkin's here is trying to highlight misunderstandings about evolution, but his points about random mutation cannot be verified by this monkey experiment IMO. coma, if you think what Dawkin's is saying is credible, that's okay too.

Sorry guys my mistake to get 100 heads in a row is not probable, in fact the chances of that happening are: (1/2) 100 = 1/7.9 x 10 31 . In words, this means one chance in 79 million million million million million (that’s 79 with 30 zeros after it).

I do agree with the point of evolving complexity, I am just afraid I disagree with Dawkin's point that random mutation is random, the complexities are too uniform and orderly, I believe they are Divine.

Sam - Einstein's opinions on god are no more interesting than my postmans opinions on football.

I am afraid I disagree, how about Dawkin's opnion on God, we can't have one scientist's opinion without the other Bill, that's just not playing football. Beside's I reacall a thread on Einstein's religious beliefs, which lasted a good few pages with many different posters. Seem's it actually was very interesting.

The miller experiment changed my perspective hugely.-snare

It confirms my bias that there must be an intelligent creator, there is too much order in evolution for random mutations to be truly random. That's just my view though, but Einstein agrees with me.

Sam, I think this quote proves that you have misunderstood my point.-Island Man

I understand, I am afraid I simply disagree.

not getting a single toss to be heads- Island Man

IMHO I don't think this is a sentence, I would rather say the question is.... What is the probability that it will land on heads zero times of 100 tosses?

Each toss is 50/50, therefore the proability remains there is a 50/50 chance it will land on heads zero times. Sam xx
