Evolution of the Bombardier Beetle

Video Title :	Evolution of the Bombardier Beetle
Description :	Here I present a HYPOTHESIS for the gradual evolution of the bombardier beetle's defense mechanism. This hypothesis was formulated by Mark Isaak and can be found at http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/bombardier.html The cornerstone of Intelligent Design (ID) is that some structures are Irreducibly Complex (IC) and therefore disprove evolution. They claim that since no means for their evolution exists the default hypothesis must be that they were designed. So far, every structure, system, or complex that was claimed by ID advocates to be IC has proved otherwise with evidence surfacing of their gradual evolution. If a structure is IC then it should be impossible to form a logically and scientifically sound hypothesis for its gradual evolution. Here I do just that, therefore allowing us to reject the ID hypothesis of IC on their own grounds. Talk about beating them at their own game. In no way does a hypothesis constitute proof. It is a starting point for further scientific investigation and will most likely go through many revisions throughout its life.

Actually, if anything evolved to become too powerful, too good at surviving, it'd overpopulate, and starve to death.

This happens to viruses.

Okay, let's think about it. The video shows 11, count them ELEVEN distinct changes from regular beetle to the bombardier of today. Each of these steps is a perfect progression in which each change fits and works fine. All this produced by random chance, time and mutations (the majority of which are harmful to the host). And this is supposed to destroy the idea of a Creator-God?

No, the changes are not "random changes". What's really happening is natural selection.

Natural selection doesn't explain how the eleven distinct changes are made. The video doesn't address this either. It just says that one change is made, then another, then another, etc. But this is all in the context of chance, time and mutations- most of which are harmful to the host. And yet a Creator, creating a specific animal w/ a complex design does not make sense?

But this is Bullshit: Why would the HCI and jet mechanism be designed the way they are by theselves? So U assume that the design of Genetic Code takes feedback withou eyes and without a brain and without analysis? Do you call this science - I call it PURE BULLSHIT

Firstly, "designed" implies a designer; so them forming by themselves makes "designed" incorrect in that context. In any case, yes, the genetic code does take feedback without eyes or a brain. If the genetic code lives, it replicates. If not, it doesn't. A dead critter can't spread its dna, can it? It's not feedback in the sense that the dna is aware of what's happening, but it is indirect feedback. If the mutation is good, it lives. If it's bad, it dies. If it lives, it spreads. If not...

Congratulation: You've Just earned yourself a PHD in ASSHOLEISM

And a doctorate in superdickery. It comes from making people look like fools.

This "feedback" is attained through "not becoming food" (AKA: natural selection/adaptation) Its.... kinda what drives evolution... pretty common knowledge at that.
