The pistol shrimp has a claw that snaps shut faster than the speed of sound, creating a sonic bullet underwater from thin air (thin water)
There is no logical way this can be gradually adapted towards via Darwinian evolution.
The claw mechanism has a negative reward function up until it reaches the speed of sound and then instantly it becomes positive reward. This is a hard cut off, not a continual mathematical model.
Gradual adaptation requires continual reward functions but in nature we see many hard step functions somehow overcome
This completely crumbles the theory that they were achieved via gradual adaptation.
There are many cases like this, I just like to highlight this one because it’s so easily graspable by anyone with even a high-school level education of physics, math, or engineering
This claw required developing 3 different mechanism, each of which are extremely energy inefficient until they pass their respective hard threshold (anti-reward)
Ironically, it only developed this in one claw… (and it randomly occurs in the left or right claw!)
Micro-evolution is undeniable true (and was well understood long before Darwin; as farmers would use it to selectively breed crops)
But Darwinian macro evolution has serious holes that no one ever seems to address.
There are endless examples in nature that scream “this was not gradually adapted towards”. Much of nature was gradually adapted towards, but not all of it. Some things were clearly designed already complete.
The most logical conclusions in order are:
1) simulation theory
2) we reached advanced tech antideluvian and genetically engineered many things [such as viruses]
3) aliens visited us historically and genetically engineered many things
…
99) Darwinian evolution experienced the most improbable mutations imaginable, billions of times, across all of nature, over a comically small time window (given the statistics required to see just one of these mutations occur)
Simulation theory is real.
God is the simulator.
He even entered His own simulation as one of us.
And there is only one plausible candidate across human history as to who that is, and it’s not even close — Jesus Christ
The human brain contains ~86 billion neurons that generate electrical signals that travel through over 100 trillion synaptic connections.
How can anyone see something like this and think it all happened by accident?
@market_sleuth A tornado ripping through a junkyard and randomly assembling a functioning 747 is more likely than even an infinitely more complex insect was randomly formed by chance
"Thus, optimality is contingent on the environment the object or organism is placed within. Or I could say optimality is dependent upon the objectives for which the designer is optimizing it."

As an atheist, I believed evolution was obviously true.
But I no longer believe that naturalistic evolution explains the complexity of life.
And I’m not alone.
Over 1,200 Ph.D. scientists have signed a public statement expressing their skepticism of Darwinism.
Here are just a few reasons why:
