Chance or intervention

Abstract

We received our share of matter four.5 billion years ago, as a cloud of gases that billions of years later had cooled enough to form a sphere of seas and an atmosphere of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapour, in which sunlight and electric shocks began to form amino acids that rushed into the sea. they joined in long chains to form gigantic protein molecules, which grouped together confined or individualized by locking themselves in a protective layer, acquiring the ability to synthesize their own food to increase their durability, formed colonies and developed the ability to duplicate by copying their construction plans, which they began printing on the deoxyribonucleic acid of their nuclei , where they also stored instructions for their development or operation, which is continuously exchanged in a promiscuous dance of viruses. But this is only the beginning, because at random, as all this has happened, changes or errors occur when reproducing the plans, and a few of these errors give their holders an advantage of survival, from where different organisms of their parents result. And this chain of errors, operating for three billion years, produced all animal species and culminated in the appearance of man This is also called progress, but in strict evolutionary sense progress only refers to the success of adaptation, which could well be regressive, if such adaptation demands it as a result of changes in the environment.
