I must say though, Cata was wrong on several points, one of which the VS dude with the weird name pointed out; another is that aging does not come from "organisms programming themselves to die", from a collective standpoint or not. Aging, according to atheistic evolution (which, by the way, I don't necessarily agree with, but that's a whole different discussion) is a result of the tendency of a system to increase in entropy (decrease the level of order) which, to put things simply, means chemical reaction stuff up your DNA over time till your body can't cope with it anymore. Aging is NOT a result of natural selection selecting in favour of death because it benefits the collective. Basically my point is there is no gene for death, therefore it can't be selected for through natural selection, like Cata said.
True, but one has to wonder. Why is such a fragile thing like DNA and RNA used for the genes? It is neither heat-resisitent, nor chemicallly resistant, nor radiation resisitant. If not properly taken care of, it falls apart very quickly. Why is that?
Cata I would reply to that by agreeing, and then raising the question of how the heck did DNA and RNA arise randomly in the first place, much less happen to fall together with all the other myriad of proteins and enzymes that are required to the transcription and translation of that DNA in even the simplest organisms?
There is no natural selection where there are no genes and phenotypes to act upon, so natural selection couldn't have brought about the first organism (or it's genetic information)
Is Turkey in Europe? Or Asia? I don't get it. There's European Turkey (Thrace and Western Istanbul) and Asian Turkey (Anatolia). The game EU4 says it's in Europe (Ottomans), while the maps show it as a transcontinental country.
Fyi, Turkey is both in Europe and in Asia, just like Russia. Though I would argue Turkey is more Asian than European, while Russia is probably more European than Asian (due to population concentrations).
I also recommend watching his Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism series, as well as the Noah's Flood series (if you believe that nonsense, as I once did)
