This week your host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Royal Truman to air his concerns regarding assertions that "Professor Dave" (David James Farina) makes against creation scientists.   *The Royal Treatment: Royal Truman, PhD received his bachelor's degrees in chemistry and in computer science from SUNY Buffalo, an M.B.A from the University of Michigan, a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Michigan State with post-graduate studies in bioinformatics at the universities of Heidelberg and Mannheim in Germany.  Royal believes the God of Abraham created the universe recently, and that His Son Jesus Christ is the savior of the world.   *Setting the Stage: Concern Zero: Professor Dave claims there are no credible chemists in the creation science community.   *The Disappearing Evolutionist: Concern #1: Professor Dave claims there is no such word as "evolutionist." Someday, by the grace of God, we hope he's not mistaken!   *Whale of an Error: Concern #2: Dr. Truman helps Professor Dave and his audience understand the Hebrew word in the Bible for the great fish that swallowed Jonah.   *Just Batty: Concern #3: More help for the good professor understanding the Hebrew word in the Bible that describes bats and flying creatures.   *Constant Lunacy? Concern #4: Dr. Truman explains that Creationists assume that the rate of lunar recession was faster in the past, (contrary to Professor Dave's "bunk", we do not say it was constant).   *The Slow Kid... Concern #5: Dr. Truman points out Professor Dave's misunderstanding of the mathematics describing the celestial mechanics regarding lunar recession.   *The Mind of a Child : Concern #6: Professor Dave alleges that creation scientists misrepresent "the Big Bang" as an explosion that instantly produced fully formed planets. But we all know that creation scientists are perfectly capable of describing the Big Bang in all its absurdity, just as the evolutionists do, (typically right before we debunk it).   *Abiogenesis: Concern #7: Professor Dave accuses creation scientists of oversimplifying the enormously sophisticated origin of life research, experiments and theories that have failed for decades to produce even a basic algorithm for abiogenesis that either a PhD or a 6th grader could call convincing.   *Sprouting Off: Concern #8: Professor Dave says creation scientists accuse evolutionists of portraying creatures that suddenly sprout wings and appendages alá Richard Goldshmidt's Hopeful Monster!   *Probability & Protein: Concern #9: Most people (creationists and evolutionists) outside specialized fields within genetics are not aware that genes and proteins can vary in composition along their sequence. Professor Dave pretends this common ignorance reflects what creation scientists believe, and then unleashes a torrent of vulgar insults, "poisoning the well" for a civil debate.   *Competence & Condescension: Concern #10: Professor Dave claims there are no competent scientists in the creation science universe.   *Setting the Table: Concern #11: Dr. Truman sets up a scholarly review of concerns 11-17 of Professor Dave's so-called creationist debunk video.

EPISODE 129 | The Fermi Paradox: Here Comes Nobody If we are not unique as a species, an intelligent one that builds civilizations, then there must be lots and lots of other civilizations out there in the galaxy and the rest of the universe beyond. But if so, where the hell is everybody? That's the question at the heart of the Fermi Paradox. And this has kicked off a chain of reasoning and speculation that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and lets us start to envision, not just what might be out there, but where we ourselves want to go as a global civilization.

Today we're bouncing off our recent conversation with evolutionary biologist, Dr. Michael Lachmann from SFI, and unpacking why the modern definition of life sucks and why it matters. We attempt to construct a more scientific (i.e. less circular) definition of life and take it for a walk in the park. As a test case we examine an inadvertent hypothesis, which stems from Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker, a science fiction work that supposes stars themselves have an interior life and that when they move according to gravity they are simply doing the dance of a school of fishes or drivers on a freeway. We pull out cases where the stars satisfy a scientific definition of life and also problems with the theory. The notion forces us to reconsider the limits of life and its possible forms in the universe.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Atoms to Agents Proto-Lectures, published by johnswentworth on September 22, 2023 on LessWrong. You know the "NAND to Tetris" book/course, where one builds up the whole stack of a computer from low-level building blocks? Imagine if you had that, but rather than going from logic gates, through CPUs and compilers, to a game, you instead start from physics, go through biology and evolution, to human-like minds. The Atoms to Agents Proto-Lectures are not that. They don't even quite aspire to that. But they aspire to one day aspire to that. Basically, I sat down with Eli Tyre and spent a day walking through my current best understanding/guesses about the whole agency "stack", both how it works and how it evolved. The result is unpolished, full of guesswork, poorly executed (on my part), and has lots of big holes. But it's also IMO full of interesting models, cool phenomena, and a huge range of material which one rarely sees together. Lots of it is probably wrong, but wrong in ways that illuminate what answers would even look like. The whole set of proto-lectures is on youtube here; total runtime is about 6.5 hours, broken across six videos. Below is a rough outline of topics. Key properties of low-level physics (proto-lecture 1) Locality Symmetry A program-like data structure is natural for representing locality + symmetry Chaos (proto-lecture 2) How information is "lost" via chaos Conserved quantities Sequences of Markov Blankets as a tool to generalize chaos beyond time-dynamics Objects (beginning of proto-lecture 3) What does it mean for two chunks of atoms at two different times to "be the same object" or to "be two copies of the same object"? What would mean for an object to "copy" over time, in a sense which could ground bio-like evolution in physics? Abiogenesis and evolution of simple agents (proto-lecture 3, beginning of 4) Autocatalytic reactions Membranes/physical boundaries Complex molecules from standardized parts: RNA world, proteins Durable & heritable "blueprint": the genome Transboundary transport Internal compartments Making "actions" a function of "observations" Bistability -> memory Consistent trade-offs -> implicit "prices" Mobility Multicellularity & Morphogenesis (proto-lecture 4) Self-assembly at the molecular scale: bulk, tubes, surfaces Sticky ball Specialization again Body axes Gastrulation: boundaries again Self-assembly at the multicell scale Various cool patterning stuff Specialized signal carriers Signal processing Minds (proto-lectures 5 and 6) Within-lifetime selection pressure Selection's implicit compression bias: grokking and the horribly-named "neuron picture" Modularity: re-use requires modules Factorization of problem domains: "environment specific, goal general" Scarce channels hypothesis Consistency pressure General-purpose search Representation & language Self-model Meta Commentary Please feel free to play with these videos. I put zero effort into editing; if you want to clean the videos up and re-post them, go for it. (Note that I posted photos of the board in a comment below.) Also, I strongly encourage people to make their own "Atoms to Agents" walkthroughs, based on their own models/understanding. It's a great exercise, and I'd love it if this were a whole genre. This format started at a Topos-hosted retreat back in January. Eliana was posing questions about how the heck minds evolved from scratch, and it turned into a three-hour long conversation with Eliana, myself, Davidad, Vivek, Ramana, and Alexander G-O working our way through the stack. Highlight of the whole retreat. I tried a mini-version with Alex Turner a few months later, and then recorded these videos recently with Eli. The most fun version looks less like a lecture and more like a stream of questions from someone who's curious and digs in whenever hands are waved...

You know the "NAND to Tetris" book/course, where one builds up the whole stack of a computer from low-level building blocks? Imagine if you had that, but rather than going from logic gates, through CPUs and compilers, to a game, you instead start from physics, go through biology and evolution, to human-like minds. The Atoms to Agents Proto-Lectures are not that. They don't even quite aspire to that. But they aspire to one day aspire to that. Basically, I sat down with Eli Tyre and spent a day walking through my current best understanding/guesses about the whole agency "stack", both how it works and how it evolved. The result is unpolished, full of guesswork, poorly executed (on my part), and has lots of big holes. But it's also IMO full of interesting models, cool phenomena, and a huge range of material which one rarely sees together. Lots of it is probably wrong, but wrong in ways that illuminate what answers would even look like. The whole set of proto-lectures is on youtube here; total runtime is about 6.5 hours, broken across six videos. Below is a rough outline of topics. Key properties of low-level physics (proto-lecture 1) Locality Symmetry A program-like data structure is natural for representing locality + symmetry Chaos (proto-lecture 2) How information is "lost" via chaos Conserved quantities Sequences of Markov Blankets as a tool to generalize chaos beyond time-dynamics Objects (beginning of proto-lecture 3) What does it mean for two chunks of atoms at two different times to "be the same object" or to "be two copies of the same object"? What would mean for an object to "copy" over time, in a sense which could ground bio-like evolution in physics? Abiogenesis and evolution of simple agents (proto-lecture 3, beginning of 4) Autocatalytic reactions Membranes/physical boundaries Complex molecules from standardized parts: RNA world, proteins Durable & heritable "blueprint": the genome Transboundary transport Internal compartments Making "actions" a function of "observations" Bistability -> memory Consistent trade-offs -> implicit "prices" Mobility Multicellularity & Morphogenesis (proto-lecture 4) Self-assembly at the molecular scale: bulk, tubes, surfaces Sticky ball Specialization again Body axes Gastrulation: boundaries again Self-assembly at the multicell scale Various cool patterning stuff Specialized signal carriers Signal processing Minds (proto-lectures 5 and 6) Within-lifetime selection pressure Selection's implicit compression bias: grokking and the horribly-named "neuron picture" Modularity: re-use requires modules Factorization of problem domains: "environment specific, goal general" Scarce channels hypothesis Consistency pressure General-purpose search Representation & language Self-model Meta Commentary Please feel free to play with these videos. I put zero effort into editing; if you want to clean the videos up and re-post them, go for it. (Note that I posted photos of the board in a comment below.) Also, I strongly encourage people to make their own "Atoms to Agents" walkthroughs, based on their own models/understanding. It's a great exercise, and I'd love it if this were a whole genre. This format started at a Topos-hosted retreat back in January. Eliana was posing questions about how the heck minds evolved from scratch, and it turned into a three-hour long conversation with Eliana, myself, Davidad, Vivek, Ramana, and Alexander G-O working our way through the stack. Highlight of the whole retreat. I tried a mini-version with Alex Turner a few months later, and then recorded these videos recently with Eli. The most fun version looks less like a lecture and more like a stream of questions from someone who's curious and digs in whenever hands are waved...

When it comes to biological life, even the simplest single-celled organism is an astonishingly complex multi-part system. Just how simple can a living cell get? On this ID The Future, Eric Anderson hosts another conversation with Dr. Robert Sadler to evaluate the claims of abiogenesis researchers. A recent Nature paper reports on an engineered minimal cell and how it contends with the "forces of evolution" compared to the non-minimal cell from which it was derived. In an attempt to find life's lowest common denominator, experimenters reduced the minimal cell down from 901 genes to 473 genes. The result was a fragile, irregular organism, sheltered and well cared for. But does this reduction in genomic complexity demonstrate evolution or devolution? Is it an unguided process at work or adaptation within the boundaries of an organism's design? "When people speak of evolution, they speak of random changes and natural selection," Sadler says. "But are they really random? Or does the organism have a built-in ability to change the genome to its own benefit?" Sadler puts the paper's results and claims in perspective for us. Source

Evolution requires such high replication fidelity to allow for natural selection to operate. Researcher Sy Garte used a statistical simulation model to determine how self-replication fidelity could evolve in early life. The model revealed a phase transition from nonliving chemical complexity to evolving living creatures. This illustrates the necessary noncontinuity of any process, including natural selection, that could lead to the origin of evolving life.   RESOURCES: Evidence for Phase Transitions in Replication Fidelity and Survival Probability at the Origin of Life The Continuity Principle and the Evolution of Replication Fidelity

Since it's inception, evolutionary theory has remained controversial for many. Although one might think only uneducated laypeople find the idea unpalatable, quite a sizeable minority of scientists too struggle to come to terms with Darwinism. In today's episode, Will Barlow explores a number of major scientific objections to evolution, including the Cambrian explosion, mutations as an insufficient mechanism, irreducible complexity, and the fossil record itself. Additionally, he briefly explores the issue of abiogenesis--the presumed starting point for any evolutionary development.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Scientific Objections to Evolution • Evidence problems (open scientific questions)• Methodological problems• Evolution or design? Evidence Problems The theory of evolution has several major open problems that are yet to be solved: • The Cambrian Explosion• Mutations The Cambrian Explosion Much of the fossil record could be viewed in a light to support evolution, but the Cambrian Explosion poses a big problem: • The theory of evolution requires slow changes over a long time• Cambrian explosion was a big change in a short period of time Simply put, what is the Cambrian explosion? • Evolution would predict species would diverge and lead to new genera, families, orders, classes, and then phyla• Most animal phyla (and many major classes within them) appear fully formed in the Cambrian period “According to modern paleontologists James Valentine, Stanley Awramik, Philip Signor, and Peter Sadler, the appearance of the major animal phyla near the beginning of the Cambrian is ‘the single most spectacular phenomenon evident in the fossil record.'”— Jonathan Wells, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design, page 16. Some scientists have suggested that pre-Cambrian organisms might be too delicate to make good fossils • Recent scientific discoveries have shown that this is untrue• Scientists have found fossils in the Cambrian period that are small and soft tissued Mutations Mutations are considered incredibly important to the evolutionary framework: • Recall that as populations are isolated and different conditions exist, random mutations lead to speciation (according to evolution)• Recent studies on mutation have challenged this understanding “Rather than mutations building up molecular machinery, improving an organism relentlessly, many mutations actually destroyed parts of a creature's DNA, or rendered some of the molecular machinery it coded for ineffective. It turns out that some of the mutations which break things can sometimes have a salutary effect.”— Michael Behe, “God and Evolution,” God is Great, God is Good, page 86. Mutations that break genes can have a positive effect. For example: • If a child receives the gene for sickle cell anemia from one parent and not the other, that child will experience more resistance to malaria Evolutionist Richard Lenski and his team observed a situation in bacteria where two successive mutations improved the survivability of the bacteria.However, there is one problem… “The first mutations to help were the breaking of genes. The bacteria rapidly lost the ability to make the sugar ribose (a component of RNA); for some reason that helped the mutant bacteria compete against non-mutants. A handful of other genes involved in metabolism were also deleted. Some bacteria had their ability to repair DNA badly damaged. Most bacteria lost the ability to metabolize the sugar maltose.” “The mutations were incoherent, scattered in different genes, with no recognizable theme among them. They were not in the process of building any new system in the cell. They simply took advantage of opportunities that helped them grow faster in their current milieu. This is what random mutation does, even when it ‘helps.'”— Michael Behe, “God and Evolution,” God is Great, God is Good, page 89. Methodological Problems The theory of evolution has many methodological problems: • Misleading Evidence for evolution• Irreducible complexity• The fossil record• Origin of life Misleading Evidence for Evolution Proponents of evolution have used several pieces of misleading information: • Haeckel's embryos• Miller's origin of life experiment Haeckel's Embryos If you look at many scientific textbooks, you will find a drawing of Haeckel's embryos.The problem is that they are fake! Miller's Experiment Stanley Miller conducted a series of experiments in 1953 to demonstrate that life could spontaneously arise: • Miller used an atmosphere of hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor — and life appeared!• However, that atmosphere is not the scientifically accepted atmosphere Irreducible Complexity “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”— Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species Michael Behe (professor of biochemistry) believes that there are many examples that violate Darwin's principles.He calls these “irreducibly complex” things “machines.” An “irreducibly complex” system is “a single system which is composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, and where the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning.”— Behe, Darwin's Black Box, page 39. Behe uses an example from modern life to explain what he means by an “irreducibly complex” system: a mousetrap.Can a mousetrap work without a hammer, spring, or platform? Behe give many examples in his book of systems that, from a biochemical perspective, are irreducibly complex: • Blood clotting• Bacterial flagellum Responses to Behe: • Collins says that most of Behe's examples may have plausible solutions in the future• Dawkins argues that there is not an “all or nothing” nature to certain examples Behe gives• Lenski's experiment showed that bacteria could see successive mutations (two-step machine) The Fossil Record What about the fossil record? It is perhaps the only place where we can scientifically observe speciation (the change in species over time).Jonathan Wells challenges the fossil record. Imagine that you dig in your backyard and find two skeletons! They are both dated to 30 years ago. One is adult sized and the other is half of that.Can you assume a familial relationship? We can apply this type of critical thinking to the fossil record. Just because two fossil specimens look like they are related does not make them related. Consider archaeopteryx. Is it half-bird, half-reptile? Does it fit in the gap that evolutionists want?It does not. The supposed reptilian precursors to this animal are found after it in the fossil record. “We are not even authorized to consider the exceptional case of the archaeopteryx as a true link. By link, we mean a necessary stage of transition between classes such as reptiles and birds, or between smaller groups. An animal displaying characters belonging to two different groups cannot be treated as a true link as long as the intermediary stages have not been found, and as long as the mechanisms of the transition remain unknown.”—Pierre Lecomte du Nouy, cited in Strobel, The Case for a Creator, page 58. Origin of Life Remember that evolution does not describe the origin of life — the theory begins when life begins.However, it is interesting to challenge abiogenesis theories in conjunction with evolution. Challenges to abiogenesis theories: • The probability of randomly producing a “simple” protein are astronomically low• No natural selection available before life begins Evolution or Design? What is the best conclusion given the evidence? • If we believe in evolution, it still could be consistent with God-designed life and guidance.• If we don't believe in evolution, there is strong evidence for design in the living beings around us.• Either way, atheism doesn't do the best job of explaining the evidence.

It is an interesting finding, but as Wells explains, it is far from the first problem discovered with the experiment, nor the most serious one. While biology textbooks often present the 1952 experiment by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey as a key icon of evolution, even those origin-of-life researchers who hope to one day to discover a credible naturalistic scenario for the origin of the first living cell concede that the experiment Read More › Source

One of the things that I really enjoy about putting together Open Metalcast episodes is picking up music from around the globe. There's a ton of bands putting out not only amazing music but also amazing physical musical artifacts to enjoy. One band in particular is Psygnosis with their latest album: "AAliens". The artwork on this LP is amazing, and a lot of thought and care went into putting this together. I also picked up "Exist" by Cyranoi, which comes in a beautiful digipack CD case with great music and great artwork to boot. And even though not every band puts out physical media there's still a lot of care that goes into producing artwork to catch the most jaded metal fan's eye. Do yourself a favor and click on the links below. There's a lot of work that goes into making these albums, and I'm sure Psygnosis, dOwnhill, Domestic Terror, Decaying Continuum, Cover of Night, Involución, Moron, and Cyranoi would appreciate it if you not only gave their albums a peek, but also a listen. Hopefully this show will give you a taste of what you can expect to not only hear but see as well.
