    Wow, the laws of nature, physics, chemistry, and lots of time. Thank you Darwin, for showing us how this can actually happen without a designer. If you only knew how right you were.
    And for those of you that prefer the designer explanation, please ask yourself what designed the designer, and that designer, and so on and so on. This is why intellectually honest people find this explanation terribly insufficient and weak. Get with it people, and remember that the amazing natural design depicted in this video is also loaded with imperfect design, and this imperfection serves to support evolution as much as anything else.

    • @solsammany
      @solsammany 8 лет назад +3

      +hooooooman - Darwin knew nothing about genes, never mind the process of transcription or translation. However he put together a very strong theory, that of evolution by means of natural selection. The theory is very strong and has tonnes of evidence, but still doesn't answer the question of how the first life originally came into existence - how biological organisms came by through nothing but the play of chemistry, physics and chance. That is why many people believe in a creator, because it gives an answer to that question. Otherwise, how does it make sense that life can come from non-life? How can we get intelligence from no intelligence? How can we get complex laws and rules, from randomness?

      @RafaelSilva-ok8qg 7 лет назад

      +Sol Sammany but that´s the thing. Before, all evolution and biodiversity was the work of God, now that we understand it better the need for God moved to WHO started life. It´s the same with physics, and pretty much everything else, everytime something isn´t fully understood yet, people answear with God and when we are able to explain it, they move on to the next unanswered question.
      This is my problem with religion in science, if people leave the answear to God then there is no progress. To me God is just the easy way of not admiting that there are still things we cant explain and that we don´t understand everything .
      By the way im not criticizing religion as a whole, i just think that when it stands in the way of progress it´s a bad thing. But i can respect and appreciate the positive side of it too

    The activator proteins can be found up or down stream from the transcription factors. A DNA bending protein (not seen in the video) actually bends the DNA and unites the activator proteins to the transcription factors and RNA polymerase at the promoter sequence of the gene. This unification is what forms the actual transcription initiation complex. That's when, in the video, you see the DNA molecule bending and then the RNA polymerase II ripping down the DNA.

      Matthew 5:17 Jebus 'the full-filler' said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law...[I come to fulfill the law]" of my father, the genocidal, pestilential, jealous, petty, racist, sexist, vindictive, bloodthirsty, vengeful, spiteful, homophobic, murderer of men, women and children. From this it is clear why the Catholic Church ignored the atrocities committed by the Nazis during WW2. They had the evil teachings and role model of Jebus the Full-Filler; who sought to full-fill the law of his devil-god father.

      ​@@maxmarshall1260 You mean the "wisdom" of the old testament mass murdering god? Did King attempt to implement the old testament law or commands of his god? Thankfully not. He was tempered by atheist, anti-religious, enlightenment philosophies, as are many other believers who don't even realize where they got those sanity checks and filters that teach them how to cherry-pick their bible of bullshit, and to recognize a few moral diamonds buried in heaps of pig-excrement.
      There are (thankfully) only a few thousand Christians who are "old-school" fundamentalist and want to go back 5000 years.

    • @maxmarshall1260
      @maxmarshall1260 4 года назад +2

      Jonathan A. You have a very superficial knowledge of how old and New Testament theology mesh together. If you study it more closely, you will find that the God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New Testament. To sum it up (which is not really a great idea but I’ll do it anyway), imagine a father with five kids at ages 1 year old, 5 years old, 10 y.o, 16, and 25. The way he speaks to each child is different, and the way he teaches each child is different. But the father himself does not change. I think you get the point. I know that won’t answer the questions about genocide that you have, but to if you go to any mainstream church in America and ask the pastor to explain how God could command such things in OT times, I’m sure they would do their best to shed light on it. And I would like to point out that there are millions of people in the US who believe in the inerrancy of the scriptures, like me. And like you said, almost none of us want to “go back 5000 years”. It is a common teaching that the scriptures are totally trustworthy, but that doesn’t mean we go around killing people. Nowhere in the Bible is there a commandment for anyone today to kill anyone. Those were one-time only commands with specific purposes. Again, any decent pastor would love to spend all day talking with you about those specific cases if you wish. Otherwise, you haven’t given it a fair look.

    Question about the 'unzipping' part of transcription:

    however my Chemistry teacher told me that RNA polymerase does this and helicase is only involved in replication.
    Who is correct? :'( they're both great teachers.
    EDIT: after a lot of googling it seems pretty much 50/50 to either helicase or polymerase - if anyone knows which one it actually is please let me know how you know lol and why lots of people are mistaken.
    Any info would be really appreciated!

      Hi, great question! Transcription relies not only on RNA Polymerase, but on an entire team of proteins called the Initiation Complex. Part of the complex, TFIIH, has helicase activity, which is how the DNA unzips. It's a totally different helicase than the one involved in DNA replication.
      So essentially, both teachers are right and wrong haha. It's never simple in biology.
      this review has a section on the initiation complex:

    Where DNA enters what? it's in the nucleus and doesn't really move out in eukaryotes. RNA leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pores in eukaryotes. 'Downstream' refers to 'going towards the 3' end of DNA', whereas upstream refers to going to the 5' end of the DNA. For example, if i said that a certain transcription factor was upstream of the promotor, then that would mean that the transcription factor is more closer than the promotor to the 5' end

My gripe wth this is tht this exonuclease has to degrade the nascent RNA to intercept the RNA pol frm the 5' end. Can someone pls clarify this? Bc frm what I understand, the RNA will need to be made again frm scratch, which does not make sense as it defeats the point of transcription. Sorry tldr.

      In case you are still interested. Termination of transcription and realease of the mRNA are two different steps. The mRNA is cut lose at the polyadenylation sequence. But the Polymerase keeps on transcribing. This newly transcribed RNA can be degraded by the exonuclease without the mRNA being affected.
