In the book “Cosmic Creationism” it states that Wilber wrote down his understands of current evolutionary theory such as “take the standard notion that wings simply evolved from forelegs. It takes perhaps a hundred mutations to produce a functional wing from a leg, a half wing will not do.” (Wilber 13) Wilber was noted as misunderstanding evolution with his inaccuracy about how evolution is portrayed among working scientists. Dennett points out that evolution works piecemeal and in an algorithmic process with one, two, and three step, not by no n-algorithmic processes. According to this book, Wilber did not only seem to not understand that the developments of evolution are blind but he wanted it to have “open-eyed” as if natural selection would occur from just nothing when in reality natural selection does not “start” when the eye is formed; it works all along without any aware purpose. Wilber’s myth was about how the universe operates, it shares much in common with other Egyptian, Hindu, and Christian myths. For example, Wilber believed that love is why life began on the planet earth. While according to Professor Alexander Astin’s first and second salvos concerning Frisky Dirt: Why Ken Wilber’s New Creationism is Pseudoscience) (Lane 43) there really is no evidence for evolution by natural selection as it is to be completely unseen to the various outcomes in the field.
Question 1:
Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
The theory of evolution is so important in understanding how humans behave because like in your video “Evolution Explained in Four Minutes” each person has a specific genome meaning a unique pattern for each individual. Or pointed as a book, there are about 46 chapters in our genome and about 25,000 pages, which are our genes with billions of codes written which are noted as molecules also known as DNA (Deoxyribose nucleic acid) and is composed of four nucleotides of CTAG acronym for cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine, which then turn into a double helix founded by James Watson and Francis Crick back in 1953. Charles Darwin first came out with the evolutionary theory in which explains why we’re so complex, in which he explained in natural selection in his book “The Origin of Species” in 1959. The best way to understand natural selection would be the acronym “VISITED” in which V would stand for Variation in which occur from genetic mutation, I for inheritance for codex and future DNA contained for future offspring, S for selection in which any out process to overpopulation to natural disasters, I for including the previous three items must be summed up within T for time in which evolution always needs a period of time in order to word, E for equals as it determines winning and losing combinations , and D for design in which the complexity we see from around us is the result of forces. We are in some an end result of a blind watchmaker in which ironic difficulty can rise naturally without guidance in which it proves that we’re good enough to survive and pass on genetic inheritance. In which all these would summarize to "be made or be dated"
Question 2:
Which questions do you think evolutionary theory cannot answer?
A question that has yet still to be answered would be “How far back does our genetic code go?” Many disagree that the idea of human species evolved from some earlier primate species. (Lane 9) In your issue to the class you stated first that all of evolution, at least in terms of DNA is at the micro level. Instead of focusing more on the physical appearance, focusing on genotypes on a smaller level. As stated it isn’t a question to where a species can mutate into another, but rather if adenine can bond with thymine in a complementary base pairing (Lane 9) Another question humans are predisposed to ask is if evolution is about living long enough to transmit one’s genetic code, how does philosophy help in our global struggle for existence? (Lane 18) in which the answer to that question is simply just to deal with something complex in the universe such as the human brain. Such as in your video “The Evolutionary Imperative: To Be or Not to Be” debating whether a life is worth living is one of the fundamentals of philosophy, all the rest whether the world has three dimensions and etc comes afterwards. Meaning to be or not to be would be the main question.
