No it doesn't. Please find a text book are research paper that says so. Betcha can't.
The two main prevailing ideas are either evolution (through random occurrences over long periods of time) or creation (intelligent design) .... there are some that mingle the two.
We don't need a research paper ..... we know what the two main world views are as they are debated unceasingly.
himself a cup of coffee and let the world evolve on its own.In the beginning GOD made..............................
Then what's chemical evolution?But the theory of evolution isn't about how life started. It's about how live evolved.
And how's that working out?himself a cup of coffee and let the world evolve on its own.
Follow the link in the OP. I address that question in the bottom of that linked post.Where did nature come from?
Look it up and choose from the sub-topics!Then what's chemical evolution?
(They'll put that word in our mind somehow.)
or, Eg: Molecular evolution:In biology, abiogenesis or the origin of life is the natural process by which life has arisen from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds. The prevailing scientific hypothesis is that the transition from non-living to living entities was not a single event, but an evolutionary process of increasing complexity that involved the formation of a habitable planet, the prebiotic synthesis of organic molecules, molecular self-replication, self-assembly, autocatalysis, and the emergence of cell membranes. Many proposals have been made for different stages of the process.
Molecular evolution is the process of change in the sequence composition of cellular molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins across generations. The field of molecular evolution uses principles of evolutionary biology and population genetics to explain patterns in these changes. Major topics in molecular evolution concern the rates and impacts of single nucleotide changes, neutral evolution vs. natural selection, origins of new genes, the genetic nature of complex traits, the genetic basis of speciation, evolution of development, and ways that evolutionary forces influence genomic and phenotypic changes.
I see that sentence turned out to be controversial.Anthropomorphic language in explanations of evolution have always been a problem and should be avoided for this very reason. Science deniers pounce on the language as some kind of "gotcha" and ignore the actual evidence. Semantics is the only argument that can be mustered because "god" can't be found in the actual evidence.
Perhaps an added footnote which distinguishes that its only 'a solution' as far as the observer (or speaker) is concerned(?) Evolution doesn't seek some kind of 'solution' to some kind of problem 'it sees'.I see that sentence turned out to be controversial.
I too have a problem with using anthropomorphic language to describe evolution, but in this case, what I said was literally true: "evolution found a solution". That's what evolution did. It might be more exact to say "the process of evolution found a solution", but that is a quibble. Evolution found a solution.
...
Do you have any suggestion on how I should have better phrased, "evolution found a solution"?
Christianity says that bacteria don't exist.The two main prevailing ideas are either evolution (through random occurrences over long periods of time) or creation (intelligent design) .... there are some that mingle the two.

You might want to read Leviticus 14.Christianity says that bacteria don't exist.
I see the question of 'where did nature come from' addressed neither in the OP nor in whatever that is (I thought, your website) in the link.Follow the link in the OP. I address that question in the bottom of that linked post.
We are really off topic here, but for the record, down at the end of the page I link to in the OP I wrote:I see the question of 'where did nature come from' addressed neither in the OP nor in whatever that is (I thought, your website) in the link.
Right. Evolution doesn't seek. Evolution doesn't see. If I had said evolution did any of those things, I could see your concern.Perhaps an added footnote which distinguishes that its only 'a solution' as far as the observer (or speaker) is concerned(?) Evolution doesn't seek some kind of 'solution' to some kind of problem 'it sees'.
If the "thing" in question is a computer or a dog, for instance, then yes, a thing can find a solution.So how can a thing "find a solution"?
False.39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
For what it is worth, IF God exists, all truth comes from him, all reality comes from and depends on him, including math and logic, fact (the principle —not just 'facts'), even existence itself and all non-falsifiables like art, beauty etc. and all goodness and justice. If not, there is no God. There could be super-human beings, perhaps —'gods', as such— but not THE GOD.We are really off topic here, but for the record, down at the end of the page I link to in the OP I wrote:
For our purposes, we are not so much concerned with how the Big Bang happened, as we are concerned with the ultimate explanation for it. Where did quantum mechanics and cosmic inflation come from? And if other forces were involved, where did they come from?And I go on to discuss those alternatives.
Perhaps such things always existed. Perhaps it could not be otherwise.
Or possibly someone or something made these universe-making processes such as quantum mechanics and cosmic inflation. If so, who or what did that?
We can propose three alternatives for whatever it is that caused these processes that made our universe:
- Something caused them.
- Something caused them. It (or he) had a mind that makes deliberate decisions.
- Something caused them. It (or he) had a mind that makes deliberate decisions. He also wrote the Bible.
God had something else planned:False.
At the crucifixion Peter held his peace.
The stones didn't immediately cry out.

I think you missed the point. There is no problem to be solved, except in the mind of the person posing the hypothetical you describe there, which in this case, is you.Right. Evolution doesn't seek. Evolution doesn't see. If I had said evolution did any of those things, I could see your concern.
But I didn't say that. I said evolution finds solutions.
And that statement about evolution is literally true. The process of evolution finds solutions, just like computer algorithms find solutions.
