Infinite complexity, intelligence, and miracle

As someone who tries his best to keep up with discoveries in biology, I sense that a sea change is about to occur in Evolutionary theory. The ideas of Charles Darwin are so out of date now that they're obsolete. Materialists will have to come up with a new paradigm to replace the old model, if they want to stay in the explanation game.

Quotes and comments;

A. 'Ten years after the Human Genome Project was completed, now we know: biology is “orders of magnitude” more complicated than scientists expected. So wrote Erika Check Hayden in Nature. [1.]

- It's a constant stream of statements like this that point to a coming paradigm shift in Evolutionary theory. What this will consist of I don't know; nor do I think anyone Can know. Atheists won't abandon naturalism, but what they'll come up with to replace the outdated theory being propagated in the schools and in the media now is anyone's guess. [3.] Darwinists haven't begun to come to grips with this new (unexpected) complexity. Their current theory isn't up to the job of describing or explaining what they see in new biological discoveries, and so it will have to be scrapped. Old theories are little able to deal with orders of magnitude problems.

B. 'Geneticists expected to find 100,000 genes in the human genome; the count is more like 21,000. But with them came a huge surprise in the accessory molecules – transcription factors, small RNAs, regulators – all arranged in dynamic interacting networks that boggle the mind. Hayden compared them to the Mandelbrot set in fractal geometry that unveils deeper levels of complexity the closer you look.' [1.]

- It's clear that no simple Darwinian analogies with animal breeding can begin to account for what researchers are now seeing, as the veil over biology is being lifted. The creationists are being proved correct in their critiques of natural selection and neo-Darwinism, and the evolutionary elite can't forgive them for it. (This hostility includes the ones inside the church, as well as the ones outside.) It's simply 'unacceptable' as they say for for a bunch of 'fundamentalists' to be right, and the academic elite to be wrong.

C. ''When we started out, the idea was that signalling pathways were fairly simple and linear,” says Tony Pawson, a cell biologist at the University of Toronto in Ontario. “Now, we appreciate that the signalling information in cells is organized through networks of information rather than simple discrete pathways. It’s infinitely more complex.”

- There's no way the bucket shop ideas of Darwin can deal with a reality that's 'infinitely' more complex. (This is as true for the neo-Darwinists, as they too rely on mere chance plus time to work the miracles we see in biology. Isn't 'infinitely complex' a good synonym for miracle? What could produce such complexity but infinite intelligence? [2.]
- I wonder how any simple theory can account for infinite complexity. I see no way this can be founded on mere matter in motion. Simple material reactions don't have this kind of capacity.

D. 'Hayden acknowledged that the “junk DNA” paradigm has been blown to smithereens. “Just one decade of post-genome biology has exploded that view,” she said, speaking of the notion that gene regulation was a straightforward, linear process – genes coding for regulator proteins that control transcription.'

- In retrospect I think that the demise of the junk DNA idea will be seen as the end of the old paradigm.

E. 'The plethora of small RNAs produced by these non-coding regions, and how they interact with each other and with DNA, was completely unexpected when the project began.'

- When you see phrases like 'was completely unexpected' you know that big changes are coming in theory. If it only happened once or twice, the old theory might (might) be able to accomodate it; but this kind of thing is happening frequently now, and has occurred scores of times.

Notes;
1. Human Genome 'Infinitely More Complex' Than Expected Creation/Evolution Headlines 04/05/2010
April 05, 2010 — Ten years after the Human Genome Project was completed, now we know: biology is “orders of magnitude” more complicated than scientists expected. So wrote Erika Check Hayden in Nature News March 31 and in the April 1 issue of Nature.
2. Miracle;
"What are miracles? They are the acts and manifestations of a Spiritual Power in the universe, superior to the powers and laws of matter. Channing, Perfect Life, p. 248. [Century dictionary]
- Is that not one purpose of a miracle? i.e. to show that the physical universe is not ultimate, that there exists a superior power.
3. I have a feeling (for what it's worth) that atheists will end up adopting a theory of origins based on the earth having once been a space colony.
