Kuhn consistently implies throughout this series that the explanatory model that is preferred by the majority of current scientists is most likely the correct one. However, science is not a democracy or a popularity contest. The best model should be selected based solely on the fit of the evidence to all possible models, not on the basis of current trends or politics. Scientists are very prone to confirmation bias and “peer pressure”.

You'd be on every talk show, write a book (or several) and would have tenure secured at some hallowed institution, without a doubt. But, if you come out with some novel theory without evidence that purports to knock down something that's been verified over and over through experimentation and observation (again in a myriad of disciplines), then , yes, you will not be taken seriously (and, probably, have to endure some ridicule). You wouldn't be ostracized at all if you challenged a paradigm using sound methods (methods agreed upon by the community & peer review) that held up under a lot of scrutiny. It is OK to punch a hole in any theory, BTW, that is what we ( Mr. the Booble, I mean) are saying. It's just that every time the results of experiments are consistent with what you's find in an evolutionary model. Quantum Gravity seems to be the future and scientists are trying to figure out what Einstein missed (apparently, there's some math issues that are beyond my intellect), not overturn his Theory of General Relativity.

@@christophercousins184 - Your argument is essentially a false dilemma fallacy: either the consensus theory is right, or you have to produce a better one. The third option is a double negative: the consensus theory is wrong, and no other viable theory is currently available. This doesn't mean descent with modification didn't happen, simply that we don't know how it happened. What is presented as 'evidence' is really interpretation of evidence based on preconception. For example, the fossil record is interpreted as evidence for Darwinian gradualism, when it doesn't actually conform to that pattern. Sub-theories are then invented to attempt to explain why the evidence doesn't support the main theory, such as, gradual change occurred in small isolated populations that escaped preservation. There have been constant challenges to the random mutation/selection model, and these continue today. A good source for recent research is The Third Way: Evolution in the Era of Genomics and Epigenetic. The website rationale states that Neo-Darwinism "invokes a set of unsupported assumptions about the accidental nature of hereditary variation". Of course, no one has come up with a viable alternative, but that takes us back to the false dilemma.

Personally, I like the mystery of it all. And I'm not ashamed to state that if an unimaginable force created the universe and regardless of it guiding or watching what we call evolution or not; I honestly don't care. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested and ask myself what, how, when, etc and I'm perfectly fine knowing I don't know and even more so knowing a little mystery in life makes it all worth experiencing.

In this Universe, good can not exist without evil and evil can not exist without good, therefore evolution has both good and evil outcomes.

What a great episode! I think what Nancy Murphy had to say was subtly profound. It made me think of Leibniz vs Voltaire and the whole "best of all possible worlds" idea. Are there really other possible worlds, or are there only hypothetical ones? I find people commonly using "quantum randomness" to validate the idea of other possible worlds, parallel realities, etc., but for one, we have other equally valid hypotheses like bohmian mechanics to explain strange quantum behavior, and also, the level of reality we operate at (classical physics) doesn't seem to be effected by the weird behavior that happens at the quantum level, so I see this world as more of an "only possible world", which is kind of weird, but I haven't found any other way of seeing it that seems more plausible. It really doesn't have any extremely disruptive implications when one really breaks it down from what I can tell as a compatibilist, but that's debatable I suppose. Anyway, kudos!

This sort of god writes books (otherwise you wouldn't know the rules) and when you read the books you realise that the guy that wrote them knew nothing about evolution and described something else completely to inform origins.

Darwin’s theory was not a recipe for change, but for constancy. Lucky flukes might arise from time to time, but they would soon vanish under the general impulse to bring everything back to a stable mediocrity. If natural selection were to work, some alternative, unconsidered mechanism was required.

As we ponder, I wonder if we have the capacity to determine what is "good". Given the fact that we know have the knowledge of the existence of "good and evil" but do not have the capacity to understand what those things means and yet we continue as if we understand. Seems we've put a few carts before that horse.

I think that some major questions will remain where they are at this point.. at the point of the frontiers of knowledge.. humans have explanations for existence but the purpose of IT.. why is IT so and not Something else? ....

What is truth ? Why is truth true? Based on what do you define what the truth is?

I'm a theist. First the origins of life then the universe and finally consciousness forced me to consider the likelihood of a religion being true that finally led to theism. Evolution is strongly in favour of theism as well because of epigenetics. The majority of evolutionary biologists now believe that morphological evolution is primarily driven by epigenetics. The algorithmic like power within epigenetics is found in every organism in the world which means this information was fully in place with the very first organism which supports a deity over blind chance. Geology shows that life started pretty much as soon as the earth was capable of supporting life. So the abiogenesis concept of slow chemical evolution (proven impossible by chemistry) forming millions of years later the formation of a proto cell (proven impossible by chemistry) which over millions of years formed DNA and then millions of years later epigenetic information that happened to develop exactly the same independently in each and every bacteria that already existed due to DNA (again impossible). As to evolution, God is rational, anything with omnipotence would be. As such he used rational approaches to the creation of the universe and life (terraforming). Billions of years to a deity outside of linear time constraints is the same as seconds as the past, the present and the future are one. God would then have the ability to nudge if he so wishes. Either through the image of God, miracles, etc. I do not see such a figure creating something with a exact determined end already in place (what is the point? A bit like playing a game of chess with yourself having determined the moves and outcome up front - fairly meaningless) but a destination that evolves as the complexity and wonder unfolds giving man free will to participate in this destination.

@Rene Descartes first of all abiogenesis has not been proved in anyway. It is why there are multiple hypothesis being banded around falling into 3 main camps - abiogenesis, panspermia and simulation within the sciences. In desperation they all agree that perhaps intelligent aliens seeded life on earth. If you look at chemistry they have developed multiple strict protocols in highly controlled laboratory conditions to produce a fairly complex molecule thar is extremely simple compared to biological compounds. Then they have other simpler molecules that do simple chemical catalytic reactions which they claim have enzyme like properties. Far from any explanation. As for epigenetics, there are many aspects to it of which some do lead to cancer when a person is under stress from work. However it also affects babies in the womb and organisms throughout their life changing the organism. You are mistaking what evolution is. There are the small changes which modern synthesis explains perfectly, but people understood that 200 years ago through selective breeding and empirical studies have since completely supported. Then there is morphological speciation which modern synthesis fails to explain and all evidence refutes it. Over 90% of all major morphological speciation change occurred immediately after mass extinction events. The fossil record alone has shown this. Darwin said this was a major flaw in his thesis but believed time would find other fossils to support his theory. This has been the materialist mantra for everything - the origin of the universe, life, consciousness and of course evolution. Geology and paleontology have proven there was no time and that there were no ancestors hidden to explain these mass speciation events. Empirical studies have also proven mutation rates and mutation alone can not explain it while other empirical evidence shows that epigenetics do in fact change the body plan within a few generations if the organism is put in extreme conditions by creating new types of proteins from existing DNA. The DNA then differs over time, this has been found to be true within species where an environmental change will result in females choosing different males from other females who were not affected. This creates selective breeding naturally and the genes start to differ slightly over time. We are moving away from the materialist worldview in all aspects of science as the last 40 years began to indicate, the last 20 years began to show why and the last 10 years have steadily. Some scientists are even beginning to become more open to natural philosophy which founded modern science before the materialists took over. We are entering a post materialist era and science is becoming exciting once more with new ideas and questions being asked again.

@Rene Descartes actually I get my information from the latest science not the narrative sold as science to mugs. There is a difference between science and scientism. Unfortunately, too many scientists put their worldview ahead of the facts and state their metaphysical beliefs. You can tell this because they all vehemently disagree with each other - abiogenesis vs panspermia vs simulation for example. They happily rip apart each others position by using science because it does not provide any evidence to support any of their positions. Numerous scientists literally shake their heads in bafflement at how scientists put narrative ahead of science. However much of that is the way science is done today with 50% of peer reviewed articles that are published being impossible to replicate by other scientists because they false. Getting one's name recognised in order to obtain grants comes first for many, while science comes second.

Perhaps think of it like this... if you wanted to buy a car for your kid, and you did not want to work on it when it broke down and you found a car that fixed itself and even made new, better cars that your grandchildren would then have and so on, wouldn't you want that car? So, God makes a world and a bunch of living things, but doesn't want to have to fix them or make new ones... it makes sense to create life that repairs itself, replaces itself and updates its features to better suit the world it lives in.

This line of thinking is so seductive precisely because it makes sense and offers explanatory power in addressing life's biggest question… BUT… the deistic creator 'god' hypothesis is a colossal waste of time because as Matt Dillahunty is quoted as having said, “Either god exists or it doesn’t exist. If a god does exist, it either interacts with the universe in some detectable way or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, that god is indistinguishable from a non-existent god." Where is the utility in 'believing in' Deism? Without being able to verify your hypothesis, you'll never be justified in believing you have the answer to how the universe and everything in it came to be.

"God set evolution in motion" Can you demonstrate that?

I think a more important question is not "what does evolution imply for existence of God", but rather "what does evolution imply for kindness/goodness of God". You see, we would have no real moral sense to love or to respect evil, cruel, or even simply negligient God, even if we would be forced to worship such a God out of fear (if nothing else). But such a worship out of fear without either love or respect is in no way "relationship" with God. On the other hand, there IS a theology like that - "you MAY love God (if you can), but you HAVE to fear God." No need for love, only fear and obedience are obligatory.

The faithful ignore the evidence that demonstrates the cosmic lack of compassion in the universe. Or they excuse it with special pleading where god's cruelty is transformed into kindness because he's god.

Evolution is simply a passive process of natural selection which results from the survival of the organisms that can thrive better in the environment they find themselves in. If the environmental conditions stay stable, the organisms better at adapting to the environment and surviving to reproduce, get better suited for that environment. So while the environment stays constant or in a narrow band, it may appear as if there is a "purposeful" connotation to that evolution. If the environment changes, the same organisms may not be best suited to survive in the new environment and some other species may become dominant. This is trivially true. This has happened even in earth's lifetime several times, when composition of atmospheric gases changed or when earth went through ice age and warm spells. Sudden disruption of environment can mean sudden extinction of organisms that were masters of that environment. For example, what happened to dinosaurs when the asteroid hit earth 65 million years ago. The point of this is that the apparent "purpose" people read into evolution in a stable environmental condition, is contingent on that "stability" of that environment (duh). In fact at a coarse grain level earth has been lucky to have stayed in a fairly narrow range of possible environmental conditions on a planet for almost 4 billion years with some what similar temperature, atmosphere, land/ocean ratio and liquid water making possible stable organic chemistry and biology that rides it etc. And yes within that band when the conditions varied, there were different species that dominated. So why did it take 4 billion years for evolution to end up with humans? Well, because that is how long it takes for a passive process like evolution with occasional drastic shocks or catastrophes (e.g. asteroid hitting earth 65 million years ago). In fact, that pretty much terminated the "purpose" of that "dinosaur" branch of evolution. So please do not too much read any "theological" reason for the "purpose" in evolution. If there was a theological agency involved could that not have been achieved very fast? Why take 4 billion years to do it? I would really like to know how many biological scientists really think if the evolution was replayed again, it will result in present day exact "humans". IMHO there is no guaranty of that. And even if it did, we may end up with some intelligent species but may not be exactly like humans of today. Please note the biological evolutionary change happens slowly because it allows opportunity for the organism's offspring to change via reproduction (i.e. generational). So for humans it may be 15 years till a human is able to grow up and reproduce. Lucky for us, about few tens of thousand years ago our brains evolved enough to start having abstract thoughts and language. This allowed the development of human culture. Since then, pretty much, the cultural evolution whose unit is a "meme" as opposed to "gene" which is a unit of biological evolution, where memes can transmit very fast, has enabled very high speed and exponential cultural evolution relative to biological evolution. A meme transmits as fast as one human can tell another human. And with transition from of bands, tribes, villages, town, cities, states, countries, continents and now the connected global culture, the spread of meme transmission is growing exponentially riding the network (many humans) and technological wave. In a nutshell, since the cultural evolution started, the contribution of biological evolution to humanity has pretty much been left into dust by the speed of cultural evolution. And thanks goodness for that. With evolved and progressive culture we no longer are always driven by the primal drives of biological evolution and overcome them when we do. For example, in the days of biological evolution's primacy, if something like COVID-19 had come along, humanity could have gone extinct. So to some extent we are lucky we have tools of science and technology to deal with the threat and do it in a cooperative fashion because of the progressive cultural evolution.

Good comments and questions. If we follow just facts, we find that plant and animal species have evolved on earth for millions of years, no disputing that. Abogenesis has yet, for over 150 years, been able to produce life from nothing so it's safe to assume that life came from somewhere else in the universe. The earliest remnants of humans are only: ~200,000 years old, and have little-to-no evolutionary signs to our bodies. There is no link between humans and apes, in fact, it's impossible for humans to have evolved from apes or monkeys as we have 23 chromosomes and they have 24 and no known method can fuse chromosomes. Human DNA is very similar to other species and drastically different. Again, we can safely assume that humans were placed here or traveled here from another planet in our universe. Numerous people have seen and talked with God and have been told truths of our origin and purpose of life on this planet so we don't have to speculate or wonder, we know the truth.

Please see the number of chromosomes for species. Many species have same number of chromosomes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by_chromosome_count Evolution does not claim that humans evolved from modern apes. It says that both humans and modern apes (primates) evolved from common ancestor. And in fact the whole tree of life shares quite a bit of genome through the levels of species. And most importantly the mechanism of DNA - double helix that normally keeps intact the genetic code of a species, yet allows during reproduction for mutations to occur and thus cause changes tiny changes in the organisms lineage from generation to generation.

The question of why there is evil in the world has a simple answer in my opinion. We have free will that alone seems to make suffering and evil something that would be necessary. However, I think it goes beyond that. In order for us to truly grow to understand the nature of God's goodness and Grace we must know it's opposite. We must navigate our way through it with free will. Oftentimes if not always learning experience which is some hardship or pain Loss or suffering. So if one believes as I do that there is an intended purpose to creation, that the creature is to draw as near to the Creator as possible, then these questions have an obvious answer.

Darwin believedthat any beneficial trait that arose in one generation would be passed on to subsequent generations, thus strengthening the species. Jenkin pointed out that a favourable trait in one parent wouldn’t become dominant in succeeding generations, but in fact would be diluted through blending. If you pour whiskey into a tumbler of water, you don’t make the whiskey stronger, you make it weaker. And if you pour that dilute solution into another glass of water, it becomes weaker still. In the same way, any favorable trait introduced by one parent would be successively watered down bysubsequent matings until it ceased to be apparent at all. Thus Darwin’s theory was not a recipe for change, but for constancy. Lucky flukes might arise from time to time, but they would soon vanish under the general impulse to bring everything back to a stable mediocrity.

They've got to have something to talk about while we're waiting for physics to come up with the next religion-demolishing fact.

the music in the beginning sounds like a horror video game

This question came to me in a snap, so it did not take moments to think about it. Darwin was incorrect in the foundation of his research, that all things would be from evolution. (I say it is designed ©). I published this about 30 years ago. As of today, no one can beat me in my theory and philosophy and science. Metaphysician philosopher

"Evolution," is not what we have been taught to perceive. Consciousness & intelligence, does not emerge from matter. Consciousness, precedes & informs all matter. So the only "evolution" occurring, is an evolution in Consciousness, which must precede, and inform any evolution in the material realms. Newtonian physics places the proverbial cart before the horse, which is by now, one of the oldest nags in physics.

If consciousness precedes and informs matter, how come a hammer to the head changes your consciousness?

@@Limbiclesion Just as a thought, precedes and informs a word, so too does the Self, precede and inform the body. Dr. Bruce Lipton is somewhat of a sage in these matters. See Lipton's KZread post "I Didn't Believe in Spirituality." Eventually, the principle should become Self-evident.

We all agree on the scientific data. We disagree on the philosophical interpretation of the data. The Judeo-Christian God by definition cannot be part of that data. Biology is driven by research questions, which shapes the agenda. If the questions presupposes atheism, then the scientific answers will reflect no need for God. In other words, educated theists do not expect to find God in the science. There is an impasse. That is why this video is unique and valuable, since it is one of the few that tries to bridge the two sides. Theists accept science; but atheists do not accept the spiritual and abstract (including consciousness and mathematical platonism). Theists live in a much bigger and richer universe where artists, musicians, and story-tellers inhabit. Atheists live in a universe reduced to a petri-dish or a wave-function or the size of their wallet.

Nonsense. My atheist universe has plenty of room for artists, musicians and story-tellers. Theologists live in a world of blah, blah, endless blah, contriving a lot and concluding nothing. 5000 years of failure, this religion stuff. It's high time we just get over it.

If God exists, then evolution is... exactly what it is if God does not exist.

As long as you are looking at evolution from Christian concept of God you will never get the solution.

There are serious lunatics in the comment section.

Well that video included some desperate attempts to reconcile bronze age mythology with modern science. The solution is simple, just admit that the Bible is just another mythology.

It does not mean there is no god. Bible can just describe wrong one

There is no challenge. Evolution works. God is so busy not existing that it doesn't have time to disrupt the truth of evolution.

Evolution is Biology’s Grand Unified Theory that explains the diversity of life, past and present.

assume your conclusion: the opposite of science.

All these youtube commenters must be philosophical geniuses. Thats why youall post these inept comments. Please everyone just shut up and watch the videos

Short answer evolution is the hand of god.

Evolution is a part of a process within a probability matrix beyond our comprehension. Sentients is second step to Evolution, what is done by Sentient Beings within their space is third phase.
