Evolution of the Bombardier Beetle


Here I present a HYPOTHESIS for the gradual evolution of the bombardier beetle's defense mechanism. This hypothesis was formulated by Mark Isaak and can be found at http://www.talkorigins.org/faq... The cornerstone of Intelligent Design (ID) is that some structures are Irreducibly Complex (IC) and therefore disprove evolution. They claim that since no means for their evolution exists the default hypothesis must be that they were designed. So far, every structure, system, or complex that was claimed by ID advocates to be IC has proved otherwise with evidence surfacing of their gradual evolution. If a structure is IC then it should be impossible to form a logically and scientifically sound hypothesis for its gradual evolution. Here I do just that, therefore allowing us to reject the ID hypothesis of IC on their own grounds. Talk about beating them at their own game. In no way does a hypothesis constitute proof. It is a starting point for further scientific investigation and will most likely go through many revisions throughout its life. To download this video go to: http://www.mediafire.com/?5eka...

no i really mean to accomplish no more than to just get you worked up and waste your time since you're just another idiot trying to pull off the internet gangster look. "Let me tell you young grasshopper. You listen to the wise stalwartatheist now!" haha are you serious? thats just embarrassing... cheers bud.

You think you have any impact on my ego?? My my, how misguided can you get?
Squish888 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Its ok young grass hopper. No need to get all worked up about me putting down your internet ego :). Cheers

"and that wasn't baseless... way to go hypocrite" What are you twittering on about child? It absolutely was baseless, in that there's no credible evidence to support the assertion made by SirWolfgaar that deisgn demands an intelligent designer. And my comment could not have been baseless, because it was a factual observation, and thus could not possibly have been hypocritical. You need to have a word with yourself before you post meaningless comments.

This video only proves that "evolution" is a belief held by narrow-minded dogmatists. It is more closely related to flat earth theory than to 21st century science.

not chance... the beetles that failed to acquire each trait along the way simply died out, and over millions of years, this mechanism was formed... And your "by chance" theory can definitely be true considering that not many organisms have anything as complex as the bombardier beetle.
stalwartatheist (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
"Listen people: If something very complex and highly unlikely happens SO THAT something else can occur, that is called DESIGN" That's not even a little bit true. Evolution has no ultimate goal towards which it strives. Humans are not the end of the process. Learn more, young grasshopper, and avoid making baseless assertions.
SirWolfgaar (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
I had to watch this thing one more time so I could be sure I wasn't going crazy, and once again I found that it was intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer that highly-engineered components that are meticuously placed in specific ways and in specific orders DO NOT JUST HAPPEN by random chance. This video serves more as a step by step instruction manual for DESIGNING a beetle than it does as a proof for some pretend "chance" evolution.
SirWolfgaar (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Exceedingly complex cells don't just "happen" to evolve on their own in extremely specific places in order to cause very specific results unless there is a PREDEFINED GOAL to the result. My gosh! Do you have *any* clue how absurd it sounds when you try to argue otherwise??
