Fast-changing Killifish Swim Past Evolution. by blueAgent(m): 11:12pm On Feb 09, 2017 |
Industrialists dumped potent pollutants into Atlantic bays in the 1950s and 1960s, killing all kinds of fish. Even today, few fish brave those waters. A team of scientists led by Andrew Whitehead of University of California, Davis recently sequenced and analyzed the genomes of almost 400 Atlantic killifish to try to find out how these fish survive the polluted waters while other kinds don’t. They found good, scientific answers but framed them in wildly unscientific terms. The researchers discovered that killifish survive by using their elaborate array of genes, including some that help them manage poisons. Like having Swiss army knives instead of flint knives, these fishes’ genetic gizmos enable them to solve more environmental challenges than other fish can handle. UC Davis News gave this finding a strong evolutionary spin: “While environmental change is outpacing the rate of evolution for many other species, Atlantic killifish living in four polluted East Coast estuaries turn out to be remarkably resilient.” “The more genetic diversity, the faster evolution can act.” “Most species we care about preserving probably can’t adapt to these rapid changes because they don’t have the high levels of genetic variation that allow them to evolve quickly.” “At the genetic level, the tolerant populations evolved in highly similar ways.” “This study shows that different populations of Atlantic killifish exposed to toxic pollution evolve tolerance to that pollution through changes in one molecular pathway.” Finally, the genomes offered clues that suggest “these fish already carried the genetic variation that allowed them to adapt before the sites were polluted.”1 But if the fish already possessed, in the beginning, the genetic variation required for them to cope with toxic pollution, then what does their use of those pre-existing genetic tools have to do with evolution? An evolution that supposedly transformed fish into philosophers should cause significant change.2 But these fish didn’t change. They were killifish before and after encountering pollution. They didn’t even acquire new or broken genes. These fish used absolutely no evolution to pioneer polluted waterways—they simply used their onboard genes. If one man can build a stick hut five times faster using a Swiss army knife than another man can using his sharp-edged rock, who in their right mind would say that he “evolved” more quickly? Evolution had nothing to do with the faster hut— it was all about the tools. Since killifish genes made the difference, the originator of those genes deserves the credit. Where did those genes come from? No scientist witnessed or measured their origins, but the genes reveal enough information for rational thinkers to clearly see that the Creator is the answer. The reasoning goes like this: 1. Killifish genetic information anticipates and meets future environmental challenges. 2. All information systems that can anticipate and meet future challenges arise from intelligent people who can imagine and anticipate new scenarios. 3. Therefore, killifish genetic information arose from an intelligent, imaginative person. Evolution’s unthinking natural processes invoke no intelligence and thus fail to meet this minimum requirement for genetic toolkit origins. The Creator revealed in the Bible, on the other hand, has an infinite intelligence—He warrants the most consideration. Jesus, “through whom also He made the worlds,”3 made these fish and their genes. He who can rescue humanity from spiritual pollution deserves all the credit for providing Atlantic killifish with genetic solutions to physical pollution. This is Fishes just exposed the gaint Scam called Evolution. www.icr.org/article/9804 2 Likes 2 Shares |

blueAgent:You understood nothing ![]() ![]() ![]() The fishes did not formerly possess the ability to survive in such polluted waters. The research states that their high genetic variation, enabled them to adapt quicker to the toxins. Its basically like this, the more genetic variation possessed by a specie, the more it will be resistant to a host of challenges. If a deadly disease or toxin for that matter affects the fishes, they might not all die seeing as their genes are very diverse and some will be more immune than others, those that are immune will survive and pass their genes on to offsprings and dominate. That was what the research said happen. Same way bacteria and weed are hard to kill because they are genetically diverse.

Lennycool: You see why people don't take Atheists serious, simple comprehension is still diffcult for you to understand. The question is the highly genetic variation of Killfish was it designed into them or it Evolued? |
Re: Fast-changing Killifish Swim Past Evolution. by Nobody: 6:51am On Feb 10, 2017 |
blueAgent:Genetic variation is simply biological diversity, and yes it can be said to have evolved. Since each of the organisms had to adapt differently to its surrounding. Just like we have diverse humans today. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lennycool: I guess you don't read this part. Finally, the genomes offered clues that suggest “these fish already carried the genetic variation that allowed them to adapt before the sites were polluted.”But if the fish already possessed, in the beginning, the genetic variation required for them to cope with toxic pollution, then what does their use of those pre-existing genetic tools have to do with evolution? Secondly why did the killfish not evolue to another organism? it was a killfish before and after the pollution. |

Typical example of Natural Selection - Lennycool i don always argue with folks like this, the problem is not if they agree with evolution but rather if they understand it. if this bro understood "evolution" he wouldn't have posted this in an attempt to debunk it - cus this is just another typical example of evolution at work, natural selection more so. 2 Likes 1 Share |

blueAgent: In ancient China for example during a war between two chinese dynasties, the battle was bloody and hard but the attacking army won. a little boy of no more than 9 years old was the king, instead of risk being captureed alive, he and his mother drowned in the sea and died. the remaining people from the conquered kingdom secretly held festivals every year in commemoration of their brave warriors who died defending them and the courageous boy king. Fishing was their primary occupation being a city with large mass of water body around - in this water, there's a particular species of crab with patterns on their back and this pattern looks like the face of a human twisted and angry like that of a soldier. these villagers believed that these crabs were the reincarnation of their dead soldiers and that was the reason their faces appeared on it as a pattern and out of respect and reverence to the bravery of these dead soldiers the fishermen didnt eat these crabs. - whenever they caught such a crab, it was thrown back respectfully into the water - if they caught a crab with a plain back, it was kept and ultimately eaten. This led to only one result, crabs with patterns survived and thrived while ones without patterns continually diminished.. this is selection in action, an evolutionary mechanism. The patterns on this crabs had nothing to do with the dead soldiers or the boy king, these crabs had the pattern for a long time before that event but that one feature aided their survival. selection in evolutionary terms means that in the course of a given circumstance or condition, organisms or species with the best-suited features for such conditions thrive and survive, the much less fortunate ones die off. these features are not evolved immediately, there have been accumulated subtly through the diverse evolutionary journey of each species. so these fishes did not swim past evolution, they rather confirms it, you are seeing a classical clear example of natural selection. . The diversity in their genetic build up was more adapted to toxic water than the rest of those fishes and that is why they survived and thrived while others perished. in a different condition, some other fish species may have the upper hand in terms of adaptive abilities and thus survive and continue..... This is Natural selection, a tool of evolution. I implore you to please try read up evolution, try and understand it cus this up there is laughable. you only quickly copied and posted it with the mindset that it refuted evolution because you had not the slightest idea of what evolution is because if you did, you wouldn't have posted this. 5 Likes 5 Shares |

donnffd: HaHaHa I laugh at you MR Evolution. Like i said before the killfish did not Evolue or develop the ability to resist the pollutant. rather it had that ability already wheather it encountered polllutants or not. With all the global warming and pollutants why has all the Birds and man not Evolued? 1 Like 1 Share |

johnydon22: This is the definition of Evolution. Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organisation, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules. The Question is where did the Heritable characteristics come from? where this organisms designed with this traits or they also Evolued to have this traits. Remember your Evolution is telling us about how the traits in organisms transformed not how the intial triats came into existence. |

Lennycool: Which came first, proteins or DNA (Revelation 4:11) ? For evolutionists, the chicken or egg dilemma goes even deeper. Chickens consist of proteins. The code for each protein is contained in the DNA/RNA system. However, proteins are required in order to manufacture DNA. So which came first: proteins or DNA? The ONLY explanation is that they were created together. |
