Order and disorder: Ecological adaptations not mutations

|

In the context of order and disorder that includes what is known about quantum physics and light-induced amino acid substitutions in plants and animals, as well as the control of the functional rearrangement of influenza hemagglutinin, I’m beginning to see even more confusion/obfuscation enter the picture of biophysically-constrained ecological adaptations. The nutrient-dependent ecological adaptations are now … Order and disorder: Ecological adaptations not mutations

The quantum biology of consciousness

|

Everything known about quantum biology “…suggests conscious experience is intrinsically connected to the fine-scale structure of space–time geometry, and that consciousness could be deeply related to the operation of the laws of the universe.” See for review: Consciousness in the universe: A review of the ‘Orch OR’ theory. These laws of the universe might lead others … The quantum biology of consciousness

Genes and Race: Human History?

|

Roundup of Book Reviews of Nicholas Wade’s A Troublesome Inheritance My comment: Many reviewers of Wade’s book on genes and race appear to think he has accurately represented issues of differences in cell types that evolutionary theorists associate with mutations, natural selection, and the evolution of human biodiversity. This may be cause for concern among those … Genes and Race: Human History?

Soft atheism: a case for Creation

|

The Case for ‘Soft Atheism’ By GARY GUTTING   Excerpt: “…much as I admire Dawkins’s work in evolutionary biology and in enhancing the public understanding of science…” My comment: The case against evolution. Quantitative analysis of RNA-protein interactions on a massively parallel array reveals biophysical and evolutionary landscapes Biophysical constraints that enable the intermolecular tethering of … Soft atheism: a case for Creation

Nutrition, pheromones and cancer (2)

|

See: Nutrition, pheromones and cancer Despite the inaccurate reporting of exeperimental evidence, the link from the nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled microRNA / messenger RNA balance is becoming clearer. Unfortunately, due to the inaccurate reporting, others may need to take the free course: Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression, before they can begin to understand the scientific progress in … Nutrition, pheromones and cancer (2)

Not focused and self-aggrandizing

|

Abstract: This atoms to ecosystems model of ecological adaptations links nutrient-dependent epigenetic effects on base pairs and amino acid substitutions to pheromone-controlled changes in the microRNA / messenger RNA balance and chromosomal rearrangements. The nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled changes are required for the thermodynamic regulation of intracellular signaling, which enables biophysically constrained nutrient-dependent protein folding; experience-dependent receptor-mediated behaviors, … Not focused and self-aggrandizing

Another powerful refutation of mutation-initiated natural selection

|

Brain regions thought to be uniquely human share many similarities with monkeys Date: January 28, 2014 Summary: New research suggests a surprising degree of similarity in the organization of regions of the brain that control language and complex thought processes in humans and monkeys. The study also revealed some key differences. The findings may provide valuable … Another powerful refutation of mutation-initiated natural selection

Darwinian theories vs Darwin's facts

|

“Darwin’s Theories“, submitted by Celia Secades of the Elesapiens website was the runner-up in the Third Annual NESCent Evolution Video Contest. (unfortunately, the video has been removed — perhaps for good reasons. For example: My comment: No experimental evidence supports the representations of mutation-initiated natural selection in the video. For comparison, tenOever on microRNA and Vaccines  addresses what is currently known … Darwinian theories vs Darwin's facts
