The Scientific Argument Behind Evolve
Even though getting the alphabet letters in the right order by random chance is wildly unachievable in fifteen billion years, this problem is extraordinarily simpler than random chemical reactions producing the first life, or random mutations producing a new protein (which natural selection could then begin to preserve). Here are four examples of how Evolve is so much simpler and more likely to succeed than actual evolution of life or new proteins:
First, with our Evolve program, we consider a letter to be in the correct position even if preceding letters are incorrect. In nature, a protein molecule must get the letters of its amino acid alphabet correct sequentially, in the right order from the beginning, through to the end. That makes the probability of the evolution of life (or new proteins) tremendously more unlikely than our alphabet evolution.
Second, Our Evolve program has no "wrong" elements churning among the letters of the alphabet, whereas nature has countless chemical compounds that cannot be used to form a protein.
Third, our Evolve program does not have any forces that would destroy the alphabet (a protein) if it were randomly created. It would immediately announce, "Congratulation! You have seen evolution work before your very eyes!" Brutal nature would most likely destroy any randomly produced first life or new protein before that new entity had time to achieve an ability to reproduce. (For the first life to gain the ability to reproduce by random chance is itself irreducibly complex and therefore something that evolutionists cannot even give a conceivable pathway toward achieving).
Fourth, our Evolve program has an infinite supply of the letters of the alphabet (pulled from a limitless bit inventory). Nature, on the other hand, needs to use amino acids to form the letters of the protein molecule's chain, acids which do not normally occur in nature outside of life itself. And Evolve's letters are stable, in that they do not break down, whereas the amino acids fabricated in the laboratory are destroyed by the same conditions that form them.
With the help of curious minded people on the web, we will run evolve a quadrillion times! Many honest students of life will look at the results and realize that if random chance cannot get a simple alphabet right, it could never get life started. This Evolve alphabet program tests the ability of random chance to order information. This problem is more trivial by many orders of magnitude, compared to getting chemicals arranged in the right order for life or a new protein to arise by chance. Download Evolve 3.06 now! Run it a few billion times, and then email us your results and we combine them with other people's trials. Bookmark and check the Evolve page once a year to watch the number of iterations grow. And watch the reaction of those who have blind faith in the ability of random chance to work miracles.
$1,500 Prize!
To add to the excitement, we've
paid out $500 in prize money to the first person who got 14 letters in their
proper positions! Now, we will
pay out a $1,500 prize! The money will go to the first person to get 15 out
of 26 letters correct with the Evolve program! That's a great way to earn money! All you
have to do is run Evolve until you reach the mark of 15 out of 26.
