  • Hybridization Speciation is the engine of hybridization not the accumulation of mutations - 
    • The gradual accumulation of mutations does not produce speciation but is instead the "maturation" of species. Real speciation mostly takes place as hybridization between species.
    • The less related species are when they hybridize, the less like they are to produce fertile offspring however the when the fertile offspring are produce the higher in the hierarchy of taxa these new species found.
    • Hybridization speciation occurs most often at the end of a geological age when there are mass die offs and species members are less likely to find members of their own to mate with.  Additionally during the die-offs, the habitable zone become much more narrow and biological niches which did not overlap before now do, increasing the likelihood of hybridization simply because individuals who did not run into each other before, now do.
  • Anthropomorphic understandings of biological species behavior must be re-examined.
    • There has been a bias against anthropomorphic understanding of organism behavior. This has led to a blind spot in our understanding.
    • Just because humans do thing for certain reasons doesn't mean animals don't do them for the same reasons.
  • Choice is an important part of life even at the level of bacteria.
    • Organism are not just machines programmed by their DNA to behave in a certain way.  We need to allow that they might use conscious deception and strategies.
    • We might also test to see if organisms are always mere opportunists.  Whether instead at least some show the ability to consider the interests of all life with their actions and maximize that.  In other words perhaps all individual organisms are aware of the dilemma of short term gain and long term disaster versus short term discipline and long term gain.
    • Life does not arise out of the entire food chain making opportunistic decision when deciding when and how many organism to consume below it in the pyramid of life. Instead there is conscious resource maximizer among the individuals.
  • Life is a selection process as Darwin suggests but it is not those who survive who are well adapted to be opportunists.  Rather it is as the Bible says "Every tree that does not bear good fruit is uprooted and thrown in the fire."
    • There are two type of species and individuals within species: individuals who make decisions based on the long term interests of all life (these are those that bear good fruit) and those that are involved in naked opportunism (evil organisms).
    • As Jesus points out in the New Testament, opportunists or "weeds" are not removed until the end of a biological or geological age, then they are destroyed.
    • All opportunists species and individuals within species are parasites.  The arms war against parasites is won at the end of each age where parasites are destroyed and those that bear good fruit are preserved by other good fruit makers.
    • As a biological age drags on, more and more of the species and individuals within those species are opportunistic parasites until the whole ecosystem "economy" collapses because of the dearth of producers.
    • Although evolutionists claim they are not advancing a theory that "Might makes right" instead they say more or less they are advancing the idea that those who are adapted best survive. However perhaps they are saying is those organism best able to look out for the selfish interests of their genes survive even if it is by chance sometimes. The Sermon on the Mount seems to suggest that the opposite may be true.
  • Lamarckism must be completely re-examined.
    • Because of inheritable non-DNA modulation of genes, Lamarck ideas need to be re-examined. genes turned on in a parent by environmental conditions, can be inherited by the children.
    • Because the individual organism can sometime choose what kind of environment to expose itself to, choice or strategy and directed inheritance ideas must be looked at.
  • The sex chromosomes are where most new genes start.
    • The sex chromosome have 2-3 more times mutations then normal chromosomes and closely related animals like the chimpanzee and man, have completely different Y chromosomes.  This suggests the sex chromosomes may be the laboratory for new genes. Maybe new genes originate on the Y chromosome.
    • Maybe they originate on the Y chromosome and move along the entire genome with each generation.  When they reach the end of the genome, the organism "knows" the new gene has partially proven its worth and its moved to a more protected but still exposed 50% to selection of the time place on the X chromosome where there is also less of a mutation rate than the Y chromosome. once a gene is proven there, it moves to the autosomal genes.
    • Perhaps the autosomal chromosomes are characterized each by having a set of genes of about the same age.  Then there would a chromosome with the oldest genes and one also with the youngest.

Just as a country is often under control of just one person,
biological organisms can be essentially under control of just one cell
among the quadrillions of cell that might make up say a mammal. Also
just as there may be a cycle societies go through as described in
Plato's Republic Book 8, 9 and 10 from meritocracies, to hereditary
aristocracies, to oligarchies, to democracies to tyrannies, which cell
is the leader of all the rest is chosen by the similar processes as
the in human politics mentioned.
