Strong evidence that topics can go off the rails

Also, having a mind as a mechanistic explanation is very useful for science as it provides a strong counter argument to help with rigor for evaluating a hypothesis. I think exploring the possibility of a separate ancestry hypothesis has already been refuted by observable genetic data, and as such would be a total waste of time.

Hi WD

I think your objections are well articulated but suffer from not looking at the problem realistically.

-Evolutionary theory especially the LUCA hypothesis is very deficient. You cannot explain mechanistically the major transitions taking into account what we are observing in the cell.

-If for arguments sake we are in a created universe the starting point being fully formed animals is realistic

-Using random change and cellular processes does not adequately test separate ancestry. Separate ancestry is about a different starting point for science.

The LUCA hypothesis is a science stopper as the field is no longer considering separate ancestry. The large amount of new sequence data coming out has a good chance of being misanalyzed because science may be using the wrong paradigm.
