Is the Universe fine-tuned for life? I think the contradiction @Philip_Goff observed between physicists claiming that it is but isn't can be explained in a simple picture When physicists say the Universe is fine-tuned they mean the first picture; they object to the second 1/4
How do symmetries lead to conservation laws? #AskEthan The profound connection between physical conserved quantities and symmetries of a physical theory go back more than a century to one unheralded woman: Emmy Noether. bigthink.com/starts-with-a-…
“Postulate” 1 does not address evolution. 2 is just wrong. 3 falsely claims that evolution is based on chance. 4 asserts without basis an impenetrable boundary between micro- and macroevolution. Other than that, pretty good. blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-biology/201…

Here's a great new article on Origin Of Life research! It shows how Quoc Phuong Tran (who is an impressive writer aside from being a great researcher) found a possible solution to one of many remaining problems in the RNA world hypothesis: theconversation.com/did-this-chemi…
Any theory on origins of species has to explain why we in so many ways are so wonderfully well adapted to our environment, and also why we in so many other ways are terribly adapted to it. Evolution (genetic change over generations guided by natural selection) explains it well.

What’s interesting here is that Klinghoffer has declined to actually engage with the substance of any of Dave’s arguments. It’s just “he’s a meanie.”

@ellegh24 @DevilOrbital @PawncawPope that's just a lack of basic understanding of evolution the base animal doesn't ALL change into the new version there are very slight changes over millions of years and if both versions of the animal live long enough to reproduce they both continue eg dogs and gray wolfs
@PawncawPope You're passionate about education, you say. Great. Why don't you get some?
@PawncawPope Incorrect. Mountains of evidence support evolution
@PawncawPope That’s a demonstrably false statement. Why do you do this to yourself? Just for engagements? Keep doing it and you won’t have any.
Here, a proto-gene evolves to participate in its own replication. New books/papers funded by @templeton_fdn, claim that such traits represent the evolution of "agency", but we already have a term for them: Wait for it.. Adaptations! @philipcball @Evolutionistrue @Big_Biology

No, no it doesn’t. Bacteria exist without almost all of these things.
