What if evolution is not due to random 'errors' that create mutations, but what if the 'garbage dna' that scientists do not understand is some kind of an evolutionary guideline? They call it garbage because it doesn't seem to effect the traits of the creature, right? But if its some kind of evolutionary program then it would only cause any kind of forseeable effect millions of years in the future, and thus changing it or fooling with it in the here-and-now would make it seem as if it was garbage.

The 'what if' need not be considered unless there is evidence for it. There is no evidence for it. There is evidence for mutations being random errors that have either a positive or a negative effect on procreation chances and thus are more likely to spread or disappear respectively.

Except for 99% of mutations are negative. Have scientists really found POSITIVE mutations?

Yes. When a mutation allows a certain bacterium to become resistant to a common antibiotic, that's a positive mutation. For bacteria, anyway. For the guy who has the infection, it's not so good. (;;o_o)

But what about mutations in complex organisms?

It's done with fruit flies all of the time. The standard experiment is to separate them into two groups, then put them into more and more extreme hot/cold environments. By random mutations at each step, they will adapt to the new environments. At the end, the two groups have evolved so far apart that they are no longer able to breed with each other.

Do not listen to this man, he is spreading memes, no such experiments have taken place or it would've revolutionized the scientific world.

Do not listen to this man, he is religious, he wants people to ignore any evidence that contradicts the existence of his god/gods.

The main problem with human evolution right now is that thanks to technology anyone can live and reproduce, including retards. To truly promote evolution, we should selectively murder anyone with an IQ under 140.

A society of everyone with IQ > 140 would also result in chaos (at least until far better technology is created). The majority of the people are needed to do the crappy jobs, like burger flipping, farming, coal mining...

that's funny because the average IQ of the americans that I met was around 70

If you had any understanding of IQ tests you would know this was impossible. Its impossible for any population of people to have an IQ that dosnt average 100. The only value IQ tests have is determing the difference in intelligence as decided to be valued by the top percent. You wish to make the top percent the average now? thats fine but with that logic we will follow a regress to where no human is fit to live. Retard

The problem is that your IQ is too low to properly understand the plan. Who's the retard now, retard?
>>33
obviously you still have to learn to read
"the americans that I met" indicates only a portion of the population, therefore the sentence is valid
now with your logic, the average IQ of every country should be 100 right?
then how come there are several studies and comparisons of IQ by countries?

You fucking stupid retarded idiot, the IQ test doesn't automagically update itself; it needs to be recalibrated in a sense for the average to be 100, such as examining the distribution of test takers and scoring them such that the mean is 100 and the standard distribution is whatever the specifications are. The plan was kill off anyone who would score under 140 in the current distribution. You are just mad because that includes yourself, and you aren't even close to surviving.
Garbage DNA is fed to mark-and-sweep RNA who will run through the whole chain marking what's referenced directly or indirectly by the first gene, then eliminating everything that hasn't been marked yet.
