I'm not sure its rational for a single cell organism to partner with other single cell organisms. I think undirected evolution is an irrational concept. — christian2017
I think the problem with evolutionary theory is that it assumes chance and survival are the only determining factors in evolution. But it then struggles to explain a number of evolutionary anomalies like altruism, suicide, love, art, etc. — Possibility

According to the theory of evolution, all that is required to pass on a trait is for the individual having the trait to reproduce. No "survival advantage" is strictly speaking necessary — Echarmion
But a trait that helps an organism survive also provides opportunity for mating and thereof to pass on the concerned traits.
Grass is green and turns brown in winter. Imagine two species of grasshopper; one bright red and the other green. One color camouflages well and the other doesn't. More green grasshoppers survive and so more green grasshoppers mate resulting in an increase in the green grasshopper population. The red ones die out. So reproduction is correlated with traits that have a benefit to survival. — TheMadFool
A survival advantage can lead to a better chance of reproduction, but the reverse is not true. — Echarmion

Since were on a forum where we all pretend to try to educate each other: do you have an article or am i going to have search for it my self. My current take on predestination is that its valid, so self organizing systems isn't a stretch. — christian2017
I don't believe you've read more than 10 pages on this subject from anyone source and the reason thats important is that to find self organizing systems in biology you would have to move towards the threshold of becoming a doctor or some form of a biologist. — christian2017
If your trying to tell me i can study this subject for 30 days 8 hours a day and some how gain the right to tell people i'm right or that your wrong about this given subject, i believe you are severely mistaken. There are plenty of doctors that believe in gods or a God. — christian2017
These doctors who believe in gods or a God also believe these gods directed evolution. — christian2017
As too you assuming this is a simple subject that can be studied by reading a single 10 page article is dumb on this particular matter. — christian2017
Good luck understanding evolution completely without studying the subject for years on end. — christian2017
I'm not saying you have to go to a university but you will have to go the library and do alot of reading. — christian2017
If you have something substantive to say I will respond otherwise I am done. — Fooloso4
Single cell organisms far outweigh multi cell organisms on the earth. I'm not sure its rational for a single cell organism to partner with other single cell organisms. I think undirected evolution is an irrational concept. — christian2017
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
