Evolution is the slow, intelligent increase in complexity via molecular processing over the aeons, starting with single cells and culminating in human beings.
Without evolution the development of the embryo would be impossible, because it too begins with a single cell and via the same intelligent molecular processing develops into an organism--for a human in only twelve weeks. That development is just evolution on very fast fast-forward. The process that was worked out over the aeons and perfected over the aeons can now take place at high speed.
Without the intelligent process of general evolution humans could not exist. Without the intelligent process of specific evolution humans could not be born. Both the evolution of all species across all time to produce humans at the apex, and the evolution of the individual human across the individual's time, are equally necessary.
About Me
- Nobilangelo
- My Christian name is pronounced 'noble-arn-jillo' (i.e., both o's are long, so the first two syllables rhyme with 'noble' not 'hobble'--yes, I know that's obvious, because there's only one 'b' between the 'o' and the 'i', but some people seem to see two b's, hence the English lesson). My surname is pronounced kerra-marliss. I was born, bred and educated in New Zealand, except for an international systems-engineer's course in San Antonio, Texas. I am born-again Christian, a thinker with a very practical turn of mind, a scientist with a particular interest in planet-friendly energy and neuroscience, an engineer (mechanical, industrial and IT systems), an inventor, a Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a writer and poet, a naturist, a designer in different fields, an arranger and composer of symphonic music, a multi-award-winning IT journalist, a photographer, and a practitioner at various times in other hands-on fields including building, metalwork, woodwork, stained-glass and landscaping.
