Self replicating nucleic acids are all you need to start this process, and yes, all you need for that are nucleic acids, energy, and time. And not only was there plenty of time, billions of years, but the interactions at this scale are occurring then and now tens of thousands of times a second.
Once you have a nucleic acid sequence whose structure allows it to make copies of itself, which is not an outrageous claim in the least, you're off to the races. Small errors here and there arise into secondary functions that convey advantage. Complementary advantages arrange into cooperative organization between different sequences. A sequence that breaks complex organic molecules for energy is not hard, and neither is one that uses that energy to build phosphate links, but when put together you get ATP, and the energy cycle that speeds up this whole process by orders of magnitude.
Wrap those two sequences into a bilipid layer with three other sequences, one that builds lipid bilayers, one that specializes in copying one another, and another still that specializes in recognizing necessary building blocks and transporting them through the lipid bilayer and you have all you need for a proto-cell, proto-mitochondria. All that can happen comparatively simply, and entirely randomly, and it only needs to happen once, because once it does it replicates and spreads across the world. All other complexity since then, from proteins, to regulation, and intra cellular cooperation and specialization arises effortlessly, over time, from that.
You can choose to refuse to see this because you believe it is incompatible with god, and you prefer god. But it's real, and denying it doesn't change it. So all you're really doing is blinding you to god's greatest accomplishment, for even more impressive than making man is making the systems from which man arises without intervention.
The human cell is the death of Darwinism.
No it isn't.
Random nucleic acid sequences capable of self replication absolutely form, and absent existing life to predate upon them will over time from error in replication acquire additional functions to retain over time which will lead inevitably to complementary associations of increasing complexity until all the necessary functions for group regulation and replication is achieved - a simple 'cell' from which the complexity you see here all but a matter of time. And from multi nucleic / proteomic cooperative work, comes multi cellular cooperation, diversification, organization (organism), instinct, thought, and sentience.
What or who started it all? None can say. Do they have a plan, do they watch over, did they select conditions specifically so we would arise to ask of ourselves specific questions, perhaps. But natural selection is completely capable of producing this complexity all by random chance.
And for that to be god's hand should impress you even more.
If you make evolution incompatible with your view of god, you shackle yourself from seeing one of the greatest requisites of his grand creation. From random nucleic and amino acids, individual and dispersed, to complexity capable of supporting the recognition of the hand of god.
How anyone can look at this and claim it's the product of random and gradual changes is beyond me.
Not only is it very possible, but it's very probable. I'd be the first to claim otherwise but the more you learn the more likely it is. Complexity does not require intelligence, much like the invisible hand of the market doesn't require an intelligence on high directing it. Four simple rules:
Buying what you need, at the best price you can find
Sell what people pay the most, that you can most easily produce
Are all that's necessary for the intricate complexities of our supply chains, manufacturing, employment distributions to form all on their own. Nature is no different when it comes to life. Alterations, additions and complexities that improve the capacity to reproduce perpetuate while those that do not diminish. You can absolutely start with just nucleic acid sequences whose structures self replicate, and over billions of years end up with complementary systems working together for a unified purpose best serving each component - a cell, a multi cell organism, a thinking organism that can recognize inherent instinct and override it.
Now what started it all, none can say. And if a god chose to create whole cloth what we see in such a way to obscure his hand, so be that. But there is no service in denying the actual power of natural selection.
Not only is it exactly like a city, complete with factories and warehousing, couriers and ubereats, libraries and cemeteries, railways and ports, -- but it's CROWDED like a city, there is no 'empty' space.
They get to exit the union for lack of representation
Because the people make their own rules too
You again? When are the mods going to deport you.
What is 'badly' composited? Because you haven't responded to the direct evidence in ANY of my replies.
You can't get a mic behind Biden without HIM being masked. And you don't mask Biden if you're just comping mics into a shot.
And this ignores why you'd ever in the first place even comp mics into a damn shot.
So answer why Biden is masked at all if he isn't green screened in? Answer it or piss off. But I know you can't, because there's zero reason to ever do that in your scenario, which means it must therefore be some other scenario.
Excellent point. And with a mask, you can't tell. A few prerecorded non answers could be used to field any number of future questions.
"haha lol, see, you're used to seeing small mics so when you saw a big one you thought it was close when it was actually far"
So it was actually right next to and behind Biden rather than being a comped shot then?
"yes!"
Then why are the mics out of focus if they are right next to Biden, who is in perfect focus?
"...uh...because it's an optical illusion! geez!"
Mics are out of focus if they were as close to Biden as they would need to be for the shot to make even the most charitable amount of sense for your explanation. Particularly that supposedly two foot tall gray one oh my god.
Seriously, how is Biden in focus but not the mics unless yes, they are as close as your eye says they are.
Yup, been making this same point. High noon on an overcast day. We get two steps with his feet sinking into dry grass in cold ground, with the rest of the time his feet always obscured. They tried at least.
Lol this guy, it's under then over and the perspective is so bad it's jarring. Literally impossible with the two videos and two perspectives we have.
No, they filmed an empty road, then panned. They keyed the pan to coincide with when Biden's inserted greenscreen layer walks off, tracking using commonly accessible software ticks, and inserted the mics and reporter heads strategically to obfuscate Biden's feet. Zooms were achieved as Biden approaches digitally which lets them occur whenever they like, and the proof is when this is all 480p and shit because that's a lazy way to hide artifacting. You'll never see this shit in 1080p or 4k.
That and how they only bothered to show you Biden's feet when he was in grass, and then only two steps because elements interacting with the ground and casting shadows are the two hardest and time consuming parts. Another 12pm overcast day with the sun directly above. How telling.
They've had to move faster and with less support than they had wanted.
When you're on the outside looking in, it can be harder to recognize wining when you see it... but not impossible.
Once all the good people have left, we can nuke them from orbit.
Why wait? If I go out it will be a worthy sacrifice. I can't die on a beach in Normandy but I'll gladly take incineration if it means you get the rest of my city by surprise. Just put a memorial for myself and others wherever the new capital is relocated to. Not all blue cities are blue without cheating, but mine is.
"Gladly died to preserve the freedom and liberty of trillions yet unborn"
still no SOTU address required by law
Aside from this you're 100% on.
You don't have to give a SOTU 8 days into your presidency, even the annual thing isn't required. All that is 'law' is that the president is to periodically address congress.
Plenty is suspect, and that is suspect because why wouldn't you UNLESS ... but it isn't a requirement.
Bullshit. You're dancing around without addressing the crux of the argument against
In what scenario do you mask Biden? ZERO
And that's the only way you get a mic behind him.
That means greenscreen, because there is zero reason to mask Biden when the composited material added in is intended to go in front at all times.
huh? huh?
"He was moving a lot"
So they masked him? Why? Bullshit.
"To get a clean edit"
How in the fuck does masking Biden make it "cleaner"? It doesn't, not in any scenario. How does he mess up the shot by moving? He doesn't. What they masked him to make him NOT move?
In what world does any of what you say make any sense? GTFO here.
Based enough to fuck up a layering composition on TWO videos simultaneously released to two separate news agencies?
People ask about how this made it passed review, but if someone based wanted to throw a monkey wrench into the lie they'd have showed one correct version for review but accidentally sent out an earlier 'draft' version for the media to report.
YES
Software assisted tracking allows you to take a masked layer (say Biden from a green screen) and insert it into any moving, shaky, or panned shot. That includes entering or exiting vehicles so long as the distances and angles are recreated.
This has been true for years and even hobbiests and entry level professionals have had this capability for years
Not to say that is always the case, but it could be.
That interview was 100% greenscreened. Biden was not there, which means the media is in on it. But as for other shots of him boarding or exiting AF/M1... could be either. Personally, I think those clunker plane shots are real. Where's that bitchin' AF1 Trump rode in??
Software assisted tracking his layer into the pan. They tried to vfx the grass but after two steps gave up and pasted reporter heads in to obscure his feet the rest of the way.
Where an element touches the ground is the hardest part.
Also notice they never do this on days where there will be a shadow. Bold prediction: on sunny days, you'll never see Biden and the ground in the same shot.
The same person composited both videos (fucking both up) and gave them to two separate news organizations, who ran their version as if it was their own. Literal Pravda Media.
Mocking Bird allows the CIA to distribute propaganda in US media and present it as truth. We ended that program, made it illegal, but Obama signed it back into existence.
An editor with no time took the time to mask biden in a shot he didn't need to be masked in so they could add mics that didn't need to be there so their reporting would be delayed (and different) relative to the other news orgs there who hypothetically could have released their own uneditted footage half an hour earlier?
Is this really what you think? Really?
They did software assisted tracking to paste Biden's layer in for that pan, did two steps worth of putting the grass over his feet (that's not how grass works, but I don't need to tell you that) then gave up and pasted in reporter heads to obscure his feet the rest of the time.
I guess they liked the result of those two steps to keep them in, but yeah, that dry grass isn't a 2 inch forest you sink into.
You are the wind beneath my wings
No, you got the basics of it. They also did a pre planned pan towards Marine one and tracked Biden's layer into it using software that's been around since at least 2015 and is accessible to indie filmakers and then rando vfx youtubers.
I find it telling that they decided to add in a bunch of reporter heads for the pan to obscure Biden's feet walking on the grass except for two steps and less than a second at the very end. I bet they worked from the end back, ran out of time and said fuck it, let's just add some damn reporter heads in the way this is taking too long.
God creating systems from which man arises is more glorious than one where god merely creates man. It's more compatible with a god who prefers free will and consequence, and is entirely compatible with genesis when you read it as written for a newly awakened mind. But what's more, it's supported by measurable reality.
Natural selection is dependent on mutation, not inter species breeding.
Chimpanzees are specialized for their environment, Gorillas for theirs, and humans for ours. You don't see anything in between, because what would they be good at that an existing species isn't already better at?
We outcompeted what we evolved from. and what we evolved from outcompeted what it evolved from. And so on and so on. We didn't evolve from monkeys, but they evolved from the same predecessors before each of us - they for their environment, us for ours. They stayed in the trees and the forest, we went to the ground, stayed there, and were pretty forgettable until we breached a critical threshold and were then off to the races, each iteration replacing the last because our environmental niche was the same as theirs.
And it was not billions replacing the last billions, it was thousands replacing thousands - Chimpanzees, only ever numbered in the low hundreds of thousands, and in no greater numbers is the extent of man as we would come to know ourselves either until that threshold was passed and we became true masters of the world, rather than as our origins as another equally competing sub group amongst the greater animal kingdom.
We don't evolve from interbreeding, nor did we arise from it, nor is it necessary to arrive at something new. Random mutation and time is all you need for that. From individual systems such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, the eye, and species. If you doubt the power of mutation over time, look at a beagle and a world over only just a few tens of thousands of years. Labradors have webbed feet. Whales are just proto horses returned to the water post mammalian split -- or better to say that horses and whales are two branches from the same precursor before them.
No, you're describing a hypothesis. A theory is a rules system that explains existing phenomena and has falsifiable predictive power.
You underestimate the power of god, are blind to the majesty of his creation, and lack the faith to believe in him and evolution (his creation) simultaneously
