Gamification of creationism (2)

If you are not yet sure that your career as a theorist has ended, please note: Games for ages 10+ link the creation of Subatomic particles from the creation of ATP and the creation of RNA to Cytosis, which protects all organized genomes from the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA via RNA interference (RNAi). Without the creation of RNA there is no RNAi and the synthesis of RNA is energy-dependent. Say goodbye first to the celebrity scientists. Then wave goodbye to the neo-Darwinists.

But first, see: McEwen et al., (1964) Dependence of RNA synthesis in isolated thymus nuclei on glycolysis, oxidative carbohydrate catabolism and a type of “oxidative phosphorylation”

The synthesis of RNA in isolated thymus nuclei is ATP dependent.

The light-activated assembly of the microRNA-RNA-peptide nanocomplex and RNAi were linked to the cure for all pathology via the creation of the sense of smell/olfaction in everything published by serious scientists since the time Schrodinger published What is life? (1944).

Indeed, in the case of higher animals we know the kind of orderliness they feed upon well enough, viz. the extremely well-ordered state of matter in more or less complicated organic compounds, which serve them as foodstuffs. After utilizing it they return it in a very much degraded form -not entirely degraded, however, for plants can still make use of it. (These, of course, have their most power supply of ‘negative entropy’ the sunlight.)

The anti-entropic force of virucidal ultraviolet light links guanine–cytosine (G⋅C) Watson–Crick base pairing from hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution to supercoiled DNA, which protects the organized genomes of all living genera from virus-driven entropy. For example, protection of DNA from permanent UV damage occurs in the context of photosynthesis and nutrient-dependent RNA-directed DNA methylation, which links RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions to DNA repair. In the context of thermodynamic cycles of protein biosynthesis and degradation, DNA repair enables the de novo creation of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Olfactory receptor genes are GPCRs. The de novo creation of olfactory receptor genes links chemotaxis and phototaxis from foraging behavior to social behavior in species from microbes to humans. Foraging behavior links ecological variation to ecological adaptation in the context of this atoms to ecosystems model of biophysically constrained energy-dependent RNA-mediated protein folding chemistry. Protein folding chemistry links nutrient-dependent microRNAs from microRNA flanking sequences to energy transfer and cell type differentiation in the context of adhesion proteins, and supercoiled DNA that protects all organized genomes from virus-driven entropy.

For the most recent publication that links the creation of the sense of smell to RNAi, see also: The Gene CG6767 Affects Olfactory Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

…targeted RNAi experiments revealed that the gene CG6767, a gene of previously unknown function but predicted to encode an enzyme responsible for the synthesis and metabolism of nucleic acids, affects olfactory behavioral responses to 2,3-butanedione. Specifically, RNAi mediated knockdown of CG6767 expression in different neuroanatomical populations of the olfactory system suggests that this gene functions in local interneurons of the antennal lobe. These results reveal a new role for CG6767 and its importance in olfactory behavior.

Their results reveal the fact that the energy-dependent creation of “…an enzyme responsible for the synthesis and metabolism of nucleic acids…” is required to link the microRNA-mediated physiology of reproduction to biophysically constrained viral latency and all biodiversity on Earth.

Nucleic acid metabolism is the process by which nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are synthesized and degraded. Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides. Nucleotide synthesis is an anabolic mechanism generally involving the chemical reaction of phosphate, pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

Potential impacts of microbial symbionts as drivers of host speciation have been discussed frequently…, but their broader evolutionary significance fostering speciation remains controversial…, and standard models of speciation commonly disregard such impacts….

Standard models of speciation do not link the creation of energy as information to the creation of enzymes and the creation of nucleic acids to biophysically constrained viral latency and all biodiversity via the physiology of reproduction:

For alternative facts (aka ridiculous theories), see this announcement: The 2019 International Workshop on Statistical Genetic Methods for Human Complex Traits March 4th–March 8th, 2019

The next workshop will be held in Boulder, Colorado, March 4th–8th, 2019, with John Hewitt and Matt Keller as Local Hosts, and Benjamin Neale, Broad Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital, and David Evans, Diamantina Institute, University of Queensland, as co-Directors. This advanced course is intended for those who are already familiar with the statistical and genetic principles for studying human complex traits and have some familiarity with programming in R. The course will focus on statistical methods for analyzing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genome sequence data.

Simply put, the course will be useless to anyone who might otherwise attempt to make scientific progress based on experimental evidence of top-down causation, which starts with the creation of enzymes such as ATPase and facts that have been obfuscated by most of the research funded by the John Templeton Foundation, which now includes research on Intellectual Humility in Public Discourse

The lack of intellectual humility has caused the obfuscation of facts to come back to haunt all biologically uninformed theorists.

• The Nature of the Shared Environment While a standard part of twin modeling, the magnitude of shared environment (c2) is rarely examined by comparing estimates obtained using other methods.

The magnitude of the shared environment was placed into the context of how the creation of the sense of smell was linked from the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction in bacteria to our visual perception of energy and mass in the context of the space-time continuum.

Neo-Darwinian theorists who failed to link the creation of the sense of smell from the ability to find food to the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction in species from microbes to humans are now preparing to run and hide.
