I've read that if you examine the rate of mutations in any genome and run the numbers that it's impossible to achieve homo sapiens within the given timeframe of the evolution of life on earth.

Any truth to this? Anyone else hear this argument?

Religion vs Science thread.
evolution goes through waxes and wanes, times where selection is more harsh and encourages adaptation and times where things are pretty stable and niches don't change much.

yes, it's the "Waiting Time Problem" and there's lots of videos addressing that "problem" if you want to dig in, but it basically come down to this:

It's also one of the reasons why panspermia was proposed.

There could be hidden mechanisms in biological organisms that speed up mutations.
Thing about it, humans that evolved their capacity for abstract thought are meddling with genetic manipulation, so we know that a mechanism that speed up mutations could actually evolve.
Now, why wouldnt all living organisms, for example birds, have evolved biological mechanisms to speed up their own evolution?
The reality is that we dont know and even thinking how to design an experiment to verify what im saying is daunting.

That's a fallacy... because
Science and Atheism are utterly retarded and super easy to debunk like a trumpian-russian fake news: you have atheists who claim that immaterial math formulas they themselves invented run the material universe every millisecond across billions of light years, since 13 billions years ago LOL. how is this not retarded.
Oh and by the way, when they are asked to say where do those immaterial formulas live and where they come from and how they act on matter, they can't fucking answer, can they?
If the universe is uncaused then why does it have physical laws that it must follow? Clearly those laws are actually imposed on the universe.
Ask an atheist how a photon, stemming from the annihilation of an electrons and a positron , knows that it has to follow Maxwell's rules, as soon as the photon comes into existence whereas what they call ''physical laws'' are not found inside their tiny particles (inside particles there are just other particles lmao who scripted this crap).... Just ask him. And I can tell you what you will observe, because it's true cause and effect: the atheist will be in his most vulnerable state, drymouthed, sweating profusely, hands trembling, in a state of intense anguish, because he knows he has no comeback. Zero. Jack shit. At this point in time, the atheist is consumed by a fear that is darker than the terror of death, which will never leave him until he dies.
You know how atheists say a bunch of deformed illiterate inbreds rolling in shit, beating their children and women anthropomorphized Nature when they said gods were an amalgamation of the base fears of early humans. Well since the day a few atheist bugmen created computers, they are saying the universe is like their high-school calculators too, but bigger lol. That's their big brain idea and that's how dumb atheists are lol.

Yeah evolution works when it suits atheists, and it doesn't work when it doesn't suit them.

>>16298263
model is wrong. make a better model to further explain chaotic dynamics of evolution of hetero sapiens.

anon, there are many deists who understand and believe i scince.
Please stop, you're only demonstrating your ignorance. Claiming that the Theory of Evolution is atheist is not only off-topic in this thread, it is wrong: it's not a theory of mysticism, deism, or existentialism. It's just a theory that uses the observer biological and fossil evidence, retraces the biological regression backwards into time, and explores mechanisms which would allow for that which is observed to occur.
At no point in the theory is there the mention of God or the lack of God, at all. It deals with life and how life changes over time. That's it.
There are many Christians who do believe in evolution and the Theory of Evolution. It's the creationists that interpret it as being an attack on their niche literal belief in Genesis, which again, it's a problem that most Christians don't even have since most already do not interpret every word of the Bible as being true, but as being parables and tales of enlightenment only.
Cheers

Those arguments tend to make far too many assumptions. A single random formula someone comes up with cannot single-handedly disprove a theory based on an overwhelming amount of evidence

No.
