Let the discussion advance! We must throw off the old illusions which were perpetrated to control us and deny God. Though I know that this discussion has been had, in smatterings, over the decades, now that the people are waking up, the discussion must get more interest and exposure. Good start!
One of the problems with the math is the time frame they gave us for the universe - thirteen billion years. It was based on the timescales invented by geologists for the forming of rocks and such and extrapolated across the universe. The entire structure is a crock.
As far as Man evolving from some lesser organism on this planet, I think the evidence is stronger for us being recent (in geologic times at least) arrivals on this planet from beyond. Call me crazy but it makes more sense than evolution.
I’m not a scientist, but have observed nature for my entire life. I concur 💯 with your statement, ‘ It would seem to me that intelligent design is the ONLY possible explanation for said diversity.
At the same time, it’s also self-evidently true that a given environment will indeed “select” for those life forms more adapted to it over those who lack such adaptation, and that this has bearing upon the character and development of life in general.’
This is the only reasonable explanation for what we see in life forms on earth. It’s not a conflict of interest just as there isn’t a conflict between our faith and science. We just do not have the knowledge to understand apparent contradictions yet.
About 100 million years ago, this little alga swallowed a bacterium... and never let it go. That bacterium evolved into the world's first "nitroplast"—a true organelle that fixes nitrogen like mitochondria power our cells or chloroplasts capture sunlight. This is only the fourth time in Earth's entire history such a merger has happened.
The last one gave us plants. What could this one give us?
Neutral mutations would necessarily fix more slowly than positively selected mutations. Nonetheless, I agree that Vox's figure neglects numerous other considerations, like demographic changes, which would indeed fix mutations more quickly. Additionally, bacteria have much larger populations sizes than essentially any other organism so they would often be expected to have some of the slowest fixation rates (this is also contingent on the selection coefficient of course). I also pointed out, in a post Vox himself made and deleted, that ancestral polymorphism would also increase the rate of fixation relative to novel mutations, and there's evidence presumed chimp-human ancestor had a high degree of such polymorphism (the evidence being there's a high-degree of incomplete lineage sorting within estimated human-chimpanzee-gorilla species trees).

Yes, we were most likely manufacturered by aliens for slave labor.
Look no further than what man is trying to accomplish right now. They are literally trying to develop a slave race of robots.
They’re trying to create life from DNA.
So, it’s not to far fetched that we were created by an alien race and we call them God, because they created us.

Real science. What the masses have been deceived with is Scientism, a false religion so to speak.
I was taught the "theory" of Evolution from grade school as if it were accepted proven fact. It is not.
Luckily, I learned the truth about Creation when I was 16, and everything we have learned since then corroborates Creation and debunks evolution.

They certainly want us to believe in UFO’s. Why?
Very informative. Thank you.
