The Divided Kingdom that Still Stands

Samer Amin

 

 

 

Natural selection has developed a crush on random mutations,

 

 

 

 

and this unrestrained desire has culminated in the evolution hypothesis, a massive superstructure for them to live in.

 

 

 

Natural selection is a maniacal lover who is always on a hysteric hunt for the finest new fashionable mutations for an organism.

 

 

 

In other words, if not for the mesmerizing charm of any updated mutations, this real love would have ended in a painful breakup,

 

 

 

 

and the evolutionary process would come to a halt,

 

 

 

 

because nature selection requires a large number of mutations in order to present itself with a wide set of alternatives.

 

 

 

As a result, the fortunate bearers of these mutations are virtually idolised by natural selection,

 

 

 

 

while making the life of the carriers of the other unbecoming heinous mutations a real hell on earth,

 

 

 

finally, the lucky one will end up as a flawless creature in the eyes of this utter injustice of natural selection,

 

 

 

 and condescendingly lets this lucky creature live in peace with its surroundings.

 

 

 

According to the fundamental premise of this theory, life normally progresses from a simple form to a more sophisticated one,

 

 

 

through mutations and natural selection.

 

 

 

 

 Since those who postulated this theory lived in the nineteenth century,

 

 

 

and almost nothing was known about the unimaginable complexity of trillions of trillions of mechanisms of biochemical activities,

 

 

 

that must work ''Simultaneously'' to make a living cell alive,

 

 

 

 

they had a right to imagine that the living cell is just a simple thing.

 

 

 

 

All biological activities within every living cell are controlled and determined by DNA, the genetic material that governs and regulates them.

 

 

 

Before a cell multiplies and divides into new daughter cells,

 

 

 

 

biomolecules and organelles must be replicated in order to be distributed throughout the new daughter cells.

 

 

 

To guarantee that each new cell obtains the right number of chromosomes,

 

 

 

the DNA inside the nucleus of a live cell must be duplicated as well.

 

 

 

 

So, they can function similarly to the parent cell.

 

 

 

 

When a specific enzyme binds DNA nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA,

 

 

 

in a sequence that matches the original DNA strand, new DNA molecules are created.

 

 

 

All living cells have a variety of extremely complicated processes in place to prevent mutations or permanent alterations in the DNA sequence.

 

 

 

Most DNA polymerases "check their work" during DNA synthesis, correcting the majority of mispaired bases in a process known as proofreading.

 

 

 

Any residual mispaired bases can be recognised and replaced immediately after DNA synthesis, a process known as mismatch repair.

 

 

 

If DNA is injured, it can be repaired through a variety of methods such as chemical reversal, excision repair, and double-stranded break repair.

 

 

 

This scrutiny process is tremendously important in preventing any uncontrollable number of mutations in newly synthesized DNA strands.

 

 

 

However, if the proofreading process fails, the erroneous nucleotides are no longer removed.

 

 

 

In this case, mutations can rapidly accumulate throughout chromosomes.

 

 

 

This astonishing error-correction process has the ability to shake the basis of genetic materials' ''Solo Reliance'' on random mutations during evolution,

 

 

 

with the indispensable assistance of the purported all-knowing natural selection,

 

 

 

and the oversimplified postulations, which rely on random mutations as the only key underpinning for the theory of evolution.

 

 

 

If the emergence of random mutations always does a great favour for natural selection, since it offers more varieties to choose from,

 

 

 

Why did this so-called natural selection create an incredibly complex biological system for ''Correcting and Eliminating'' mutations during the replication of genetic material?

 

 

 

It seems like an unacceptable logical fallacy to say the least.

    The picture looks like a game of bingo or something, to lesser mortals(?)!
    I recall some of this, though it's as if: Erm, say all that again. please!

    • Samer Amin

      You are right!

      That's why I quit my previous career as a teacher and stick to my new job as a writer.

      These children made me go through tough times indeed.

    • orchidee

      It's a bit like part of a book I'm reading. I don't know if I will understand all of THAT either!

      • Samer Amin

        I just wanted to highlight the huge complicated revising and proofreading biological system that is operating in a very ingenious way to eliminate any excessive unwanted mutations that may adversely alert the transcription of genetic material during cell division.

        These ingenious ultra-complicated system can defy the conception of random spontaneous mutations which constitutes the main basis of the hypothetical theory of natural selection.

        me, I'm just happy when I can butter my toast before it gets too cold
        or sip my tea, without blanching my tongue, badly... lol
        (I don't mean to undermine or disrespect your points dear poet, just having a little fun, my go-to reaction when things get too serious for me..)
        and sorry, but rationalisation using genome molecular biology is something I want nothing to do with!
        for in our fear of un-answerable questions to existence, we've stumbled upon our roadmap to changing that same self-diagnosed inadequate - self, at molecular level
        that's just incomprehensively idiotic - in my humble estimation.. especially when you contemplate those of us who can't give up cigarettes while coughing blood, from lung cancer, as-in
        that's how little restraint and self-control most of us posses and we want to start poking at our very core connection to existence..
        what if we mess with our 'system for reproduction' by mistake... lol
        behold our unrivalled capability for manifesting: our very own self-destruction...

          Thank you, dear brother, for your wonderful comment.

          In fact, in these short lines I have tried to clarify the problem that most of us may face when we try to find out the truth.

          Unfortunately, some scientists usually present us with half the truth in every single question that we seek earnestly its answer.

          Some people seem to give half the answer that fits their personal thoughts and beliefs.

          This is why at the molecular level when genetic material is on the verge of dividing among new daughter cells, the majority of natural selection proponents talk about random mutations, not mentioning the complex and sophisticated revising system that controls the occurrence of these random mutations.

        • Jerry Reynolds

          Dear, Dear Samer. I just try to make it rhyme. Good write.

          • Samer Amin

            Thank you,Jerry!

            Your writing is very deep and dedicated only to special mentality.

          • Doggerel Dave

            Hi Samer.
            I find the format of your entries here difficult to cope with, so I rarely add to your score of views.
            That out of the way, I do occasionally visit, as this time.
            Since you've just 'blinded me with science', I believe it only fair to ask if you wouldn't mind placing some detail in the 'about me' on your profile page.
            This and your other entries need context before I'd contemplate making my visits more regular.
            No hard feelings, I hope........ !

            • Samer Amin

              Thank you so much for your caring and for your useful advice.

              Of course I do not mind, it is a good idea.

              • Doggerel Dave

                Thanks Samer.
                BTW: re debate above, 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts' still pertains, I think.

                • Samer Amin

                  Thank you so much for all the positive messages that are implied in your beautiful quote.

                  I wish you a very happy and bright day.
