Why Intelligent Design is WRONG, Part I

READ THIS
This video is NOT meant to be an accurate representation of evolution, as evolution does not have a predetermined goal (though there is the goal to reproduce). This video is meant to test one simple point, that
RANDOM MUTATION +
NON-RANDOM SELECTION =
VERY IMPROBABLE RESULT.
For further discussion on the use of a "goal" see below. For simulations that represent evolution more accurately see my later videos.
In this video I show why the central tenant of Intelligent Design or ID is wrong. They argue they can tell when an object is "designed", meaning it could not have arisen by chance, but their logic is fatally flawed. Here I will actually simulate evolution showing how impossibly improbable outcomes can appear quite easily, without anything being designed.
For those who fail to find solace in the fact that I have used a "goal" image in this video I will 1) offer a quaint explanation for how this DOES NOT impose design and 2) direct you to Part II of this video.
See, imagine there is an ecosystem where two species live in a symbiotic relationship. Species A offers food to species B for protection. The way species A recognizes species B is because B looks like SouthPark characters.
Now species C happens to also live in this environment but looks nothing like SouthPark characters. They resemble random noise. They go about collecting their food on their own. Evolution by natural selection and common sense tells us that any member of species C that has an advantage in collecting food will be better off (more energy and time for reproduction). Thus that advantage will be passed on.
Therefore, random mutations in species C's population that make members very slightly resemble SouthPark characters will be passed on because those organisms might be able to trick a member of species A every now and then more so than those that are just random noise. As mutations build up in the population of species C, they begin to resemble SouthPark characters more and more, thus tricking species A more and more getting free food and increasing their fitness.
Mimicry like this happens all the time in nature. The evolution of species C is not designed or directed. It just happens that those that resemble species B more (thus looking like a SouthPark character) will have a higher fitness. It is a product of their environment. They will pass on those mutations and the population will evolve.

Your simulation is ... ( 1 week ago by snoopdaniels)
Your simulation is doubly invalid. In the first place, you've programmed it with an end-goal in mind, and evolution has no end goal. In the second place, you have programmed it to preserve minute mutations which bring it closer to that end goal. Mutations can only be selected for if they result in a functional advantage in the form of a WHOLE "sentence." You are selecting incomplete mutations simply because they bring you closer to the end goal. This would never occur naturally.
In other words, in ... ( 1 week ago by snoopdaniels)
In other words, in order for evolution to work, your simulation would have to provide for an example where a new sentence appeared randomly in just one generation. I think you'll agree that this is impossible, and even if it did happen eventually, even the earth is not old enough to account for the variety and complexity of species we see today. The problem is even more serious when you consider the Cambrian explosion, when half of all animal phyla appeared in just 10 million years.

"Natural selection can only select traits that confer a reproductive advantage"
you've gotten selection upside down. It removes the crap from the bottom. Everything and Anything that accomplishes reproduction has not been selected against. See? Way more variation than our artificial picking only the cream of the crop(a process know to lead to lots of compromises and problems).

"This would never occur naturally."
Any creature consists of 1000s of genes. Given the artificial scenario of this SouthPark kids image single static goal, Having all 1000 fail to hide = death. Having only 950 fail to hide is not in the time frame of having only 20 fail to hide the individual. It's in the context of OTHER 950s.
Is camouflage an all or nothing function?

some say 10, some say 80. I like to remember that whenever i see the output of genetic algorithms, they ALWAYS exhibit a CE type phenomenon at every early onset of a radical change.

Those images are designed, NOT random. They "appear" random by computing numbers originating with a computer's clock which varies depending upon the unknown time of program execution.

Ya. Negative points for darwinism. BTW Science still has no idea how to make something live. Single cell organisms are actually more complicated that humans. Life is still way beyond scientific comprehention. Also i would like to see a single Experiment that supports evolution that uses the scientific meathod. I do belive that there is change over time, but there cannot be "new species" over time. If you take basic biology you will learn about chormosomes.

You accept changes in the genetic code (microevolution), and that time passes, so you must accept that given enough time that it is possible for enough of these minor changes to accumulate that the chromosomes of the organism no longer resemble that of the designer created progenitor.
Unless you argue DNA has no bearing on organisms "design" then you have to accept that the resulting organism from long term microevolution can end up looking and acting very different from its 'creation' state.
IF the organism's ... ( 3 days ago by JebusGeist)
IF the organism's chromosomes are too different, they will not function with the chromosomes of the "creation" state progenitor, no offspring will result.
Heres an appologetic (bullshit excuse on "designers" behalf) I made for you, "He created microevolution and macroevolution so that man would see that the animals could change their ways, and if animals without a soul could do so, so could man with one."
There now speciation fits with your I.D. crap, you can stop arguing that its a lie.

Do not count me in your overgeneralization sir.
Your statement should now read:
"text videos are boring, uninformative and just a waste of everyone(-1)'s time."
With a sample of 117,000 viewers and assuming everyone but me agrees with you. We can estimate that 51282 out of 6 billion people will find this intersting and informative.
I am not trying to make any point anymore and the 2 sentances above this one mark when this became a text based purposefully uninformative waste of your time.

Quite good! I assume you are a programmer? Just a suggestion - you may lose a couple people. They probably do not understand what you are simulating. I assume you programmed it so that the "fit" pixels were the ones that fell into a particular design or text? You may want to explain that. But on the whole, one of the best demonstrations of selection over design I have seen. Have you published this idea? If not, you should.
