By what magic does the single cell divide in two? How do two viable cells become
twelve-thousand in a common scheme? And
then, how do some cells gallop off into a flow of blood while others gather as
the liver? How does function come to
form? How arrives the decision that
marshals some cells to march off and become toenails while their neighbors
march off to become the brain? Why species?
Darwinian theorists are now concluding that evolution—regressing
all the back to the very spark that lighted the fires of life, to the simplest
form of what we call life—might be based upon blind errors, the mis-combining
of things already at hand. So, in
grossly oversimplified terms, we have over the years walked forth from the
simplest crystals of clay in a warm bath.
Once the first “true” forms of life came into being, the process
became increasingly divergent. Through
RNA and subsequent DNA reproductions, basic accounting mistakes and copying
errors were made and then introduced into the next generation of plant or
beast. In other words, certain genetic
codes were botched prior to handing them down through replication. Some of these mistakes made by combinate RNA
and DNA became, by default, corrections and improvements. Genetically coded bumps on one beast
gradually became arms; on another: fins.
From oddity to improvement. These
random improvements (and the life forms enjoying them) found success in
practice, became accepted. The random
improvements then clustered into certain locals, into species.
Consider this: In this operating theory, to err is to improve.
