Theory In Crisis: Iii

If you feel we evolve by chance, here’s something that you must decide: the type of steps that you will dance explaining how blood cells divide. Now only mammals do this split which seems odd on the face of it. For surely wings need oxygen in the same way; where to begin? See, mammals have erythrocytes That have to squeeze in places tight. Apparently, they found it scary traveling the capillaries. And so, it’s said, mutation error found a way to meet this terror: eject the red cell nucleus and slide on through without the fuss. Capillaries in a mammal: needle’s eye through which a camel passes, so the logic jumps: just remove those great big humps! And so is formed an apparatus in an instant, all for gratis. But wait! No, Darwin’s change evolves through incremental change, resolves. First the stem cells must divide since capillaries are too wide. Then, as we’ve discussed, they must pinch off the nucleus. To do this, cells must build a ring That somehow pushes everything within the cell all to one side, constricting forces, slow applied. A soft spot in the wall then sprouts; the nucleus gets pushed right out. Pinched out just like a bit of dough: it takes ten minutes, rather slow. From here, it seems, we pick the best: enucleated blood cell test. There cannot be an in-between, emerging slowly on the scene. It must appear in one fell swoop for Darwin filters out the soup, discarding any useless bits, unfinished intermediates. The magnitude of change required: too great for chance; time has expired. This leads some learned folk to say it must have been designed this way.
