need to uphold that natural balance
except it doesnt kill brain cells unlike other drugs
it actually protects brain immune cells
Baby
Alcohol is more than enough
Alcohol is the most dangerous drug
Lies
heroin is the worst m8 you legit drink wine at church
Wine is different
Plus it’s a religious symbol
Alright let’s hear it
Why do adaptations, facing selective pressure, not cause speciation.
Now although I could argue you (because whenever anything has a mutation, it loses information, it doesn’t gain it), but I prefer arguing how life showed up in the first place.
The goal of this debate is to prove that evolution is still theory, not fact.
What do you mean it loses information?
Evolution does not require any particular theory about the origin of life.
Mutations don’t gain information when they occur, in fact, in some cases, they lose it.
What do you mean “information”
It’s just not salient to the theory
They don’t gain genetic information, they just adapt
They change genetic information
They don’t “gain” or “lose”
Every human has about 100 new mutations per generation
Exactly
Exactly what
Just a minute, I’m grabbing and compiling information
Lol don’t give me some essay you’ve prepared
Just talk to me like a human being
You said exactly, what did you mean?
Since you don’t want to argue the origins of life, I need to refresh my memory
No essay, just a second
Ok, I’m at work but tag me with your reply and I’ll respond when I have a chance k?
@Sophie mutations are a result of mechanical damage that interferes with all molecular machinery. Life’s error correction, avoidance and repair mechanisms themselves suffer the same damage and decay. The consequence is that all multicellular life on earth is undergoing inexorable genome decay.
Surely that’s not what you want with evolution.
**Mutations are the fundamental cause of aging** (Kudlow, B.A., Kennedy, B.K. and Monnat, R.J. Jr, Werner and Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndromes: mechanistic basis of human progeroid diseases, Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 8:394–404, 2007.)
**they are also the fundamental cause of cancer** (Eccleston, A. and Dhand, R., Signaling in cancer, Nature 441(7092):423, 2006)
So, first of all
That’s a mechanism of aging, it’s not the only one
