SYMBIOGENESIS AND ORDER IN BIOLOGY... Empty
PostSubject: SYMBIOGENESIS AND ORDER IN BIOLOGY...   SYMBIOGENESIS AND ORDER IN BIOLOGY... EmptyFri 27 Sep 2013, 11:33 am

Note this is quickly replacing evolution and becoming the new model with the resistance from nihilistic atheist spectrum and basically claiming by proxy a more meaningful view of the universe more in line with Spinoza which is a step back towards Christian thinking....        


UNIVERSAL SYMBIOGENESIS 179
It is indeed impossible to distinguish, let alone count, allthe elements that are borrowed or mixed in a givenlanguage or culture. But this does not
a priori
entail that itis not worth the effort to examine how many elements became merged throughout the course of its history.Universal symbiogenesis would thus introduce and allowfor concepts such as interaction and cooperation that oftenoperate in the humanities, notions that are often countered by concepts of competition (see e.g. Speidel, 2000), and assuch the concept of universal symbiogenesis cancomplement and/or counter cost-benefit equations and ideason selfishness.
9. Conclusion
The theory of evolution by means of natural selectionand universal selectionist accounts that grew out of themhave turned out to be very useful tools to model theevolution of life and various products of life. However, itcannot explain all the different types in which evolution canoccur and produce evolutionary novelty. If natural selectionwould indeed be able to explain all of life’s evolution, thenand only then, would it be an unscientific theory for atheory that explains everything explains nothing. The latter however is not the case.Faultfinders have rightly argued that the ModernSynthesis focuses exclusively on the mechanism of naturalselection to explain evolution. It has been argued that theModern Synthesis presents a sterile view of evolution(Sapp, 2004: 1049) for it fails to include the microcosm,which results in an evolutionary theory only applicable tozoology (Margulis and Sagan, 2002). The focus oncompetition and cost-benefit equations naturally excludescooperative and altruistic views since both are antagonisticcounterparts (Speidel, 2000), and organisms as well asspecies are, within a (post-)neo-Darwinian view,understood to be independently evolving entities (Margulisand Sagan, 2002).Here, symbiogenesis – which does not regard evolutionas a sterile process – allows for cooperative views and,following Margulis ideas, sees all organisms as chimeras, isoffered as a complementary view. Symbiogenesis can beuniversalized as well and can include at minimum theepidemiology of viruses, hybridization, cultural andlanguage evolution and even certain cosmological processes. Universal symbiogenesis even has potential inmedical applications. And also – not discussed here – epigenetic processes can be absorbed into a universalsymbiogenetic scheme, because the different interaction of the same genes lead to the emergence of new traits andsometimes even result in speciation.The already often used notion of a
symbiont
by scholarsworking within a symbiogenetic framework can thus beapplied as a universal, evolutionary epistemologicalconcept as well, where it can complement Dawkins’replicators and Hull’s interactors.The enormous potential of an evolutionary view basedon symbiogenesis is yet to be felt in many extra-biologicalfields and also within evolutionary biology itself. It would be an enormous waste not to explore this potential and todismiss symbiogenesis
a priori
as a “would-be challenger”to selectionism. The universal symbiogenetic formula presented in this article will contribute in a positive way tomaking the importance of symbiogenesis more widelyknown in these other fields of research.

SYMBIOGENESIS AND ORDER IN BIOLOGY... Empty
PostSubject: Re: SYMBIOGENESIS AND ORDER IN BIOLOGY...   SYMBIOGENESIS AND ORDER IN BIOLOGY... EmptyFri 27 Sep 2013, 12:44 pm

Basically I love how kids think Darwin is a rebel and such. Kids are taught if God is involved it is a machination of the authority. I think My Little Pony Friendship is Magic caught on due to it shows what embracing ones connection to the Universe means and kids were shocked by how cool that was rather then shows which tell kids to go it alone and such. The Grime Adventures of Billy and Mandy was kept on air for quite a while due to it's episodes were basically about how everyone else is stupid and the universe is pointless. I love how kids believe South Park is rebellious and cool and edgy. South Park is basically a series of poop jokes and cracks with the illusion of plot because they always joke about a controversial issue like gay marriage or something. Does anyone realize that what is considered rebellion is basically supporting some big agenda rather then thinking for yourself that isn't some gay friend of mine. I have really decided that gays are the last true free thinkers in the world. But anyway people get mad at for watching C-Span, Al-Jazerra and Link TV and being into conspiracy theories. Since I get my info from a variety sources my step-mom tells me I am conspiracy theorist since I rarely believe anything she does. Global Warming... I believe in it but I don't buy the Democrats Solution of oh carbon taxes and carbon credits and I believe actual life style changes so dad calls me a republican due to that is what MSMBC tells him anyone who disagrees with his views is... Meanwhile I deny the belief that Christianity is bad and basically except for that time Chick-a-fila was like Gays bad I supported and since I support running companies in a Christian Way I am ignorant and homophobic despite that I am bie myself and don't believe that people should dictate sexual molarity beyond saying no molesting kids and abusing animals or disabled people. I think the media gives kids a choice between supporting one form of BS or another. Kids in First Priority think they are rebels and kids who dress in black and misquote Friedrich Nietzsche on God think they are too. The whole grade school teaches kids that voting between a Giant Dosh and a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich is the basic thing which makes them better then a third world dictator ship in which people evilly actually get fed and taken care of.... Meanwhile North Korea is so evil according to the two radio rebels while I learn that the North Korea Army grows tons of mushrooms to feed the poor of the world and that those third world give our northern states lots of food to feed the poor and the northern states get budget surplus from allowing evil dictators to help them out.. WOW... Meanwhile Liberals love Europe but not European immigration which are stricter then the US. To rebel is basically promoted as having no friends and neglecting your family and voting one of the two parties and believe in kiddy Christianity or Atheism and deny your connection to the universe.

Am I right....
