How Well Do You Know the Theory?
Below is a selection of questions based on the articles presented on this website.
For those who support the theory of Evolution these questions may present something of a challenge, but undoubtedly the search for the answers will prove to be valuable.
1. How long might it take the fastest modern supercomputer to count sequentially from 1 to 10³⁰⁰ (considering realistic processing speeds)?
2. How does the human cell effectively deal with this number in seconds when constructing and shaping proteins?
3. How did Evolution arrange and coordinate the billions of microtubules per body cell that are built, destroyed, and rebuilt in a microsecond, on demand?
4. Scientists theorise on the origin of matter that was used to form the universe, but there are vital and specific “laws” or attributes of physics and nature that apply to this matter: Where did these come from?
5. According to Albert Einstein, matter and energy are manifestations of the same thing. But where did the initial “energy” come from to give rise to the universe?
6. How did Evolution coordinate the multi-faceted function of blood maintenance in our bodies using multiple organs (heart, lungs, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, lymph nodes, thymus gland, bone marrow, digestive system) — (as all these organs are required to be fully functional — at the same time — for our well-being, and most of them are required for our survival)?
7. Regarding our need for food, how were the 19 (listed) separate body organs coordinated to manage the overall process of satisfying our body’s nutritional needs (as all these organs are required to be fully functional — at the same time — for our well-being, and most of them are required for our survival)?
8. How were the essential processes coordinated that keep galaxy shapes and galactic arm rotation speeds sufficiently steady to enable a comfortable environment for habitable planets?
9. How were the disparate laws or principles developed and coordinated that prevent most stars from growing too big, thus enabling the required stability for the maintenance of life?
10. How did the Earth come to have all the essential heavy elements in sufficient quantity necessary for life when it resides in a very low-supernovae-incidence section of the Milky Way galaxy?
11. How were the multiple features required for the ability of flight (as used by many creatures) coordinated and developed?
12. How did Evolution "determine" and distinguish the requirements in the anatomy of birds to have hollow bones in specific places, but solid bones in others?
13. If this was believed to be by a process of long-term natural selection, why does the fossil record not support this view?
14. How did natural selection organise the development of the complex multi-level Electron Transport Chain functionality, essential for the supply of each of our body cell’s energy requirements?
15. Was this procedure "selected" from others that were developing at the same time? If so, where is the empirical evidence for these alternative procedures?
16. How did the long process of Evolution somehow "know" that capturing an electron would enable microscopic organic "machines" to eventually use its energy on behalf of the cell, thereby maintaining the entire body?
17. Without an "understanding" of the ultimate purpose involved in capturing this electron, what use would there be for this initial capture?
18. In the absence of intelligence and a sense of purpose, why did the Electron Transport Chain process begin to develop in the first place?
19. If the complexity of this process did in fact evolve over considerable time, how did the body function in the earlier times with an immature — and as yet incomplete — process?
20. How did the cell manage to begin the development of this long Electron Transport Chain process, when the energy required to perform this development was not yet available?
21. How was the arrangement of teeth within our mouths coordinated: e.g. how did Evolution manage to develop and match the design, position, and ideal functionality of each tooth, and each pair, on both sides of the mouth?
22. How was Evolution able to match the quantity, design, position, functionality, and purpose of each of our individual teeth, as complementary pairs, for both the upper jaw and the lower jaw?
23. How did Evolution calibrate the full set of receptors in the micro-scale of our body’s 100,000 miles of nerve fibres, to manage the complete flow of variable sensory information required for precise tasks in each body area?
24. How was the brain programmed to process and successfully use this sensory information? And how was this programming subsequently detailed in the self-referencing code of the DNA for use by future generations?
25. How is it that the full 7-metres length of our digestive system features multiple regions with varying degrees of precisely calibrated sensitivity, each ideal for convenience, comfort, and functionality?
