Natural Selection Paradox Confirmed (Again)
Mainstream science organizations confirm The Paradox
[If you have access to a knowledgable evolutionists, please share this post with them. We welcome peer review. We welcome someone finding the “cracks” in our arguments.]
The Natural Selection Paradox states a simple truth in the form of a paradox: Natural selection did nothing to cause or explain any evolutionary change leading to any current living thing.
We have shown how many mainstream science organizations confirm The Paradox, including University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, Ernst Mayr, ResearchGate, National Geographic, and London’s Natural History Museum.
Today, we add one more: BioNinja. Below we show how, once again, a science organization attempting to show what natural selection does in nature, in fact shows that natural selection does nothing to cause or explain any evolutionary change.
The best way to summarize BioNinja’s explanation is with the diagram they supply. Our critique, commentary, and explanation of truth follows. For each numbered step we provide the logical, rational, truth.
Enjoy!
Here is BioNinja’s diagram:
Here is our commentary:
Referring to the diagram supplied by BioNinja, carefully consider the role of Natural Selection in causing or explaining any evolutionary change in an organism (or its population).
1. VARIATION -- note that natural selection plays no role in this step. Variation is provided in nature solely by random genetic variation in the genome of offspring. The fact that offspring exist in a "population" does not change this fact.
2. COMPETITION -- note that natural selection plays no role in this step. Competition for natural resources happens, natural selection does not cause it or explain it. As well, "competition" plays no role in changing any genomic aspect of individuals making up a population.
3. ADAPTATIONS -- note that natural selection plays no role in this step. Natural selection plays no role in making, changing, or affecting adaptations. Adaptations are a result of the offspring's genomic inheritance. It is the offspring's inheritance of its genome that gives it traits adapted for survival. If adapted and fit offspring "pass on their genes" it is not BECAUSE of natural selection, it is DESPITE natural selection. Natural selection plays absolutely no role in causing or explaining evolutionary change in any surviving offspring in any population.
4. SELECTION -- note that natural selection plays no role of evolutionary (genomic) change in this step. Despite this step called "selection," note that no evolutionary change happened to the survivors left in the population "over many generations." The survivors were born, lived, reproduced, and died without their genome being changed. The "change in 'alleles'" happened before natural selection had a chance to operate, and natural selection did not operate on the survivors--the "changed alleles" simply passed through the "filter" of natural selection unchanged. The fact that these organisms were produced solely by random genetic variation and are more frequent in a population does not change the fact that natural selection played no role in explaining or causing any change in the organisms in the population.
Once again, The Natural Selection Paradox is confirmed.
