Evolution of life but not according to Darwin's evolution theory

The Watchtower Society presents videoclips. The April 2016 broadcast sees William Malenfant introducing a new feature in which scientists who happen to be Jehovah’s Witnesses are interviewed about their views on evolution. Yaroslav Dovhanych, a Russian zoologist, and Professor Raj Kalaria, a brain researcher at England’s Newcastle University in England.

Describing his pre-creationist experience Dovhanych says:

“The evolutionary theory, in my opinion, quite reasonably argued that there is no creator.”

According to him the evolution theory argues that everything was shaped by a series of random changes and combinations.

For many it seems difficult to see that evolution is a guided process, even if natural forces rather than a supreme celestial supervisor are doing the guiding. when you look around yourself, in your family, you will notice many changes by you against your ancestors. Continually we are evolving.

Dovhanych started to wonder about the evolution theory and noticed things that contradicted the Darwin theory of evolution.

“Can anyone say that some computer programs appeared simply by chance? In contrast, evolutionists would like us to believe that DNA was formed by evolution. To illustrate, say you take some letter blocks, pour them on to the table, and the Encyclopaedia Britannica is formed. There is an even smaller probability that DNA originated by evolution.”

he says.

Raj Kalaria does find that

“We were taught about evolution of life, and this was just part of the curriculum,”

and looks at his years of training when scientist tried to look at all things withouth taking God in the picture.

“At the time there were no other options, as it were. God did not come in the picture at all, or God creating the heavens and the earth, as it were, never came in the picture.”

Kalaria supports the belief that human life can continue once a brain dies certain people will be able to live as spirit creatures in heaven, and these kingly entities will rule over a future Earth populated solely by Jehovah’s Witnesses, many of whom will be resurrected with new brains to replace the ones they lost at death.

“We started looking at the nerve cells themselves in terms of the volume and the number,”

 says Kalaria,

“And it’s phenomenal that in that small area of the brain there are some 1.4 billion neurons. So the number of connections that make us, synapses they make, is phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. And so when you think about the complexity of all that, how is it possible that that is just by random chance? It has to be guided.”

Those scientists who find such ideas ludicrous because for them it is impossible that there would exist such a deity because it must have been vastly complex in the first place. they seem to forget that makes Him the Omnipotent One.

Eva's zeven dochters

De Zeven Dochters van Eva The Seven Daughters of Eve (2001, ISBN 0-393-02018-5) een boek dat de moeite waard kan zijn om te lezen voor diegenen die een DNA analyse overwegen om genealogisch werk aan te vullen. Bryan Sykes geeft in het boek de theorie van menselijke mitochondriale genetica (human mitochondrial genetics) aan een algemeen publiek. Hoewel het boek grotendeels zijn onderzoekspad beschrijft (zie Genetische GenealogieBegrijpen > Understanding Genetic Genealogy) paste hij de mitochondrial DNA kennis toe  om de vooruitgang van de Homo sapiens uit Afrika en naar het einde missertjes in de romantische visioenen van de dochters of clanmoeders vast te stellen .

Sykes legt de principes uit van genetische en menselijke evolutie, de bijzonderheden van mitochondrial genetica en analyses van oud DNA om moderne mensen genetisch naar prehistorische voorouders te verbinden.

De studie vond dat Joden een gemeenschappelijk stel van genetische handtekeningen met Arabische rassen (inclusief Palestijnen, Syriërs en Libanees) delen, die beduidend verschillend van Niet-joodse rassen zijn welke buiten het Midden-Oosten leven.
Opnieuw is dit in overeenstemming met de Genesis beschrijving van het gemeenschappelijke voorgeslacht van Joden en Arabieren van Abraham.
Hoewel wij niet te veel betekenis zouden  moeten geven aan de resultaten van deze genetische studies, die een goede overeenkomst van verbeeldingsvole interpretatie vanwege deelnemende wetenschappers inhouden, is het niettemin interessant te zien welke omvang zij overeenkomst verlenen met de ware geschiedenis van de mensheid zoals zij geregistreerd staat in het Woord van God.

The Seven Daughters of Eve

The Seven Daughters of Eve (2001, ISBN 0-393-02018-5) a must read for anyone considering a DNA analysis to supplement genealogical work is a book by Bryan Sykes that presents the theory of human mitochondrial genetics to a general audience. Although most of the book describes his research path (see Understanding Genetic Genealogy) he applied the mitochondrial DNA knowledge to determine the progress of Homo sapiens out of Africa

and lapses into the romantic visions of the daughters or clan mothers toward the end.

Sykes explains the principles of genetics and human evolution, the particularities of mitochondrial genetics, and analyses of ancient DNA to genetically link modern humans to prehistoric ancestors.

The study found that Jews share a common set of genetic signatures with Arab races (including Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese), which are significantly different from Gentile races living
outside the Middle East. Again this is in accord with the Genesis account of the common ancestry of Jews and Arabs from Abraham.
Although we should not attach too much significance to the results of these genetic studies, which involve a good deal of imaginative interpretation on the part of the scientists taking part, it is nevertheless interesting to see to what extent they accord with the true history of mankind recorded in the Word of God.

Man made life

Scientists announced a bold step Wednesday night on the Belgian television in the enduring quest to create artificial life. They've produced a living cell powered by manmade DNA.
The DNA from a cell was synthetically replicated, inserted into a cousin cell and was able to reproduce. You then can wonder how much it really was "synthetic" and would this have implicated a lifeless cell. And would this then really be an artificial life form.
"The inventors call it the world's first synthetic cell, although this initial step is more a re-creation of existing life — changing one simple type of bacterium into another — than a built-from-scratch kind."

"It's partially synthetic, some said, because Venter's team had to stick the manmade genetic code inside a living cell from a related species. That cell was more than just a container; it also contained its own cytoplasm — the liquid part."

The magazine the Economist goes on to arrogantly state:

"It is now possible to conceive of a world in which new bacteria (and eventually, new animals and plants) are designed on a computer and then grown to order."
"That ability would prove mankind’s mastery over nature in a way more profound than even the detonation of the first atomic bomb..."

"It will be a while, yet, before lifeforms are routinely designed on a laptop. But this will come."

where they write: "Man may proudly think that he can solve the worlds problems. He may arrogantly think that he can master nature. However, he will soon be gone and his brutish knowledge with him - for all flesh is grass."

Levende cel geproduceerd door kunstmatig DNA

Wetenschappers kondigden een stoutmoedige stap aan op woensdag nacht op de Belgische televisie in hun blijvende zoektocht naar de mogelijkheid om kunstmatig leven te creëren. Zij kondigden aan dat zij een levende cel konden produceren die door kunstmatig DNA wordt aangedreven.

Het DNA van een cel werd synthetisch, ingevoegd in een neefcel gekopieerd en kon zo reproduceren. U kunt u dan verwonderen over hoe veel het echt "synthetisch" was en of dit  impliceerde dat het echt een levenloze cel was. En zal dit dan echt een kunstmatige levensvorm zijn?

"De uitvinders noemen het de eerste synthetische cel van de wereld, hoewel deze eerste stap meer een her-schepping is van bestaand leven — een eenvoudig soort bacterie veranderend in een andere — eerder dan opbouw uit het niets".

"Het is gedeeltelijk synthetisch, zei een, omdat het team van Venter de kunstmatige genetische code in een levende cel van een verwante soort moest steken. Die cel was meer dan slechts een verpakking; het bevatte ook zijn eigen cytoplasma — het vloeibare deel".

Het tijdschrift The Economist gaat verder arrogant te verklaren:

"Het is nu mogelijk  zich een wereld voor te stellen waarin nieuwe bacteriën (en uiteindelijk, nieuwe dieren en planten) op een computer kunnen ontworpen worden en dan groeiën op  bestelling."
 "Die bekwaamheid zou de beheersing van de mensheid over natuur in zekere zin bewijzen diepgaander dan zelfs de ontploffing van de eerste atoombom... "

"Het zal een tijdje, nog zijn, voor lifeforms volgens de gewoonte op een laptop is ontworpen. Maar dit zal komen".

Race, Skin color and differences

On our debate "Where does Satan lives?" Debralyn Potter wrote:

I do have a question, when everyone was sent out with a different language to different lands, where did different colored skin come from?  Asian eyes, etc?

Figured the people of Africa,the ones with skin that could handle the sun, were more likely to survive and keep creating even darker as time went on..

Then thought wait a minute what about eye shapes?

I don't get lost in this, only curious.

I anwered that this brought us to an other topic, namely the differences between humans, and animals.
I think the different skincolors and differences in noses and eyes came from the evolution, the body adapting to the climates and the environment. (To protect against sun rays, light, temperature/ having the sin covered or not,etc.)

Was it not the Creator His choice?

“Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may 
ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.” (Jer 13:23 ASV)

Debralyn Potter replied:

I would believe that the traits in the humans dna that could withstand the cold, that person would be able to survive there, thus others like this one too.So they would be the stronger people with the strongest traits who mated and on and on.

I don't believe in evolution. If that were true we would not have species going extinct because of dire weather changes. They cannot adapt if they do not have the dna to do that.

Does not matter how many species you put in a certain area, if they don't have the dna to pass on, with other like species, they die.

Jehovah made every animal to be with his kind for a reason. You can put as many African lions as you want in cold cold Alaska,they would all die. Same as Polar Bears in Africa.

You all are helping with this so much!! thank you! Love,debilyn

+ 

My experience is this is talking about ones who are choosing to bad and won't follow Jehovah.

He is saying a leopard cannot change his spots,  and the Cush'ite change the color of his skin, same as these people who have turned against Jehovah's, who had free will and chose evil not good. It is unchangeable. love,debilyn
