----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Science Guy returns to Big Think to address his creationist critics and warn against the risks of denying evolution, the fundamental core of life sciences. To deny evolution is to deny the facts that serve as foundation for modern medicine, anatomy, and neuroscience. If America produces too many citizens who deny science, it runs the risk of falling behind the rest of the world in innovation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILL NYE:
Bill Nye, scientist, engineer, comedian, author, and inventor, is a man with a mission: to help foster a scientifically literate society, to help people everywhere understand and appreciate the science that makes our world work. Making science entertaining and accessible is something Bill has been doing most of his life.
In Seattle Nye began to combine his love of science with his flair for comedy, when he won the Steve Martin look-alike contest and developed dual careers as an engineer by day and a stand-up comic by night. Nye then quit his day engineering day job and made the transition to a night job as a comedy writer and performer on Seattle’s home-grown ensemble comedy show “Almost Live.” This is where “Bill Nye the Science Guy®” was born. The show appeared before Saturday Night Live and later on Comedy Central, originating at KING-TV, Seattle’s NBC affiliate.
While working on the Science Guy show, Nye won seven national Emmy Awards for writing, performing, and producing. The show won 18 Emmys in five years. In between creating the shows, he wrote five children’s books about science, including his latest title, “Bill Nye’s Great Big Book of Tiny Germs.”
Nye is the host of three currently-running television series. “The 100 Greatest Discoveries” airs on the Science Channel. “The Eyes of Nye” airs on PBS stations across the country.
Bill’s latest project is hosting a show on Planet Green called “Stuff Happens.” It’s about environmentally responsible choices that consumers can make as they go about their day and their shopping. Also, you’ll see Nye in his good-natured rivalry with his neighbor Ed Begley. They compete to see who can save the most energy and produce the smallest carbon footprint. Nye has 4,000 watts of solar power and a solar-boosted hot water system. There’s also the low water use garden and underground watering system. It’s fun for him; he’s an engineer with an energy conservation hobby.
Nye is currently the Executive Director of The Planetary Society, the world’s largest space interest organization.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
Bill Nye: Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science. So if we raise a generation of science students who don’t understand the main idea in biology they’re going to be incompletely educated students and this is going to be trouble for the United States because the United States keeps in the game economically by innovating - having new ideas, new products, new ways of doing things. That’s what the United States produces and brings to the world. And if we raise a significant fraction of our students who don’t understand science we’re not going to have the engineers and scientists to continue this tradition. So for me it’s troubling objectively or subjectively as one can be and as a citizen of the U.S.
I believe, I think here on Big Think that the problem is the same thing that allows us to recognize patterns to imagine shapes and things and routes and ways to get things done before we actually start doing those things that that ability also enables us to understand that despite our best efforts we’re all going to die. And I think that makes all of us a little nutty. We all find it a little troubling. And so because it seems incredible that all this stuff that we store in our brain, all the memories we have, all the mental images that we are able to keep, all the algebra that we learn, that all that goes away when we die is really hard for all of us to accept. And along with this is that we are not nature’s last word. We are not the final answer that nature came up with. That we are not what some entity created as his or her very best work. We’re just one more step on the evolutionary timeline. And for many people that’s so troubling they can’t accept it at all. For me, of course, it’s empowering and amazing and it makes me want to live every moment of every day in the best way possible. But for a lot of people it’s literally unimaginable...

Archaeopteryx Lithographica “Last great hope” what a joke. I actually like America(citizen btw) but I wouldn’t call it the last great hope. First off there’s an implication in that where there is some universal goal humanity has been trying to achieve and that it has a deadline. What is the goal and when is the deadline? Secondly, how is evolution a vain thing? It’s almost the exact opposite. It’s to believe that you are completely insignificant compared to time and space. It’s vain to believe that you were chosen over all other living creatures on earth to live together with god in heaven

Sedimentary Rocks / Fossil fuels destroys the idea of the Earth being 6000 yrs old.
@charlesbowden8671
@charlesbowden8671 5 жыл бұрын
The whole idea that the Earth is 6000 years came from Judaic/Christian teachings. In these teachings, God created the earth in 6 days, and rested on the 7th. Then early humanity happened, Jesus came, and after his death (and resurrection in Christianity), our current calendar years started (2018, 2019, etc). If God created the earth, with his endless capabilities, he could have easily created the sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels that you claim "destroys" the fact that the Earth is 6000 years old. Please try to counter this argument.

Charlie Bowden, the Greek teachings do not contradict the scientific claim that the universe is billions of years old. So, why choose the Bible instead of the Greek stories? Read for yourself: "At the beginning there was only Chaos, Night, dark Erebus, and deep Tartarus. Earth, the air and heaven had no existence. Firstly, blackwinged Night laid a germless egg in the bosom of the infinite deeps of Erebus, and from this, after the revolution of LONG AGES sprang the graceful Eros with his glittering golden wings, swift as the whirlwinds of the tempest" OPEN YOUR EYES

There is definitive scientific proof that the Earth is thousands, not billions, of years old. For example, scientists have found soft tissue in dinosaur bones which are supposedly millions of years old. But soft tissue can only last thousands of years. This not only proves that scientific dating methods are grossly inaccurate beyond a few thousand years, but it also proves that dinosaurs lived on this Earth thousands, not billions, of years ago.

According to them that isn't true. God created it there as he know we humans will have use for it so its our god given right to pump it up as much as we can as God allowed us to find it when we was ready for it. See how easy it is to justify everything with religion? Climate change? Doesn't happen as God doesn't work that way, he doesn't punish us for using the resources he have given us too exploit. Starvation and meaningless death? You shouldn't have sinned in the garden you sinner, but don't worry. When you die God will take care of you as long as you believe and speard the faith.

This is why I think that we actually *do* need to engage with young earth creationist adults. The adults are the ones who are voting in our elections and they're the ones who are teaching their kids this nonsense. Kids, in general, are going to feel a stronger connection with their parents and immediate family members than they are with their science teacher at school. When your entire social support group is comprised of adults who read a modern literalist interpretation of the Bible and who are indoctrinating you into that belief system, it's very difficult to break out of that cycle. It becomes part of your identity and set of core values. As such, the adults who are in charge of propagating this garbage need to publicly be challenged and disputed/refuted.

I've seen many people try (not only Bill Nye, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Lawrence Kraus, Sam Harris etc., but in my personal life as well. And everybody failed! There are certain rules of discourse that creationists do not apply (f.e. accepting an argument that has more empirical background than your own).

TestMeatDollSteak I am a former YEC. I was indoctrinated in a Baptist school. What changed my thinking was purely curiosity. I researched and learned and came to the conclusion on my own that what I had been taught was wrong. Rejecting YEC did not weaken my Christian faith as many young earthers believe, quite the contrary. My faith is stronger now, knowing that the bible is still relevant and true, and really does not contradict science at all. I am not an anomaly either, there are many of us, just look up Biologos on youtube.

TestMeatDollSteak I agree with you that YEC should be challenged and evolution defended -- both for the sake of children and for the sake of the BarnGeek 's of the world. However, my guess is that BarnGeek was more influenced by books or in depth videos by the likes of Bill Nye, than by comments by unkown persons on KZfaq. When one is seriously seeking for the truth, it is quality, not quantity of arguments that matter. Yes, one can have an in depth discussion with a YECist if one has the energy and patience for undertaking such a task. However, I think a simple statement of "you are wrong" is an adequate response for the average person to make. It challenges YEC in a public forum, so that those who might wonder, get a chance to wonder, yet leaves those who are wondering to search after serious sources that will actually actually convince them. Those are my thoughts, but I am open to hearing feedback.

The genealogies of the Bible prove that the earth is approximately 6,000 years old. We Christians know that this is true because the Word of God is perfect and infallible. In contrast, radiocarbon dating and other manmade methods of dating are extremely inaccurate. There are many errors in these dating methods. The fact is that we cannot prove that these methods of dating are accurate because they're not.

Is a painting evidence of a painter? Is a building evidence of a builder? Then creation is evidence of a creator. Where does conscienceness come from? God says He created it. Did evolution create male and female? I thought the process of evolution was to be more efficient, not less efficient. So why did we start as asexual beings and then turn into men and women? And please tell me where at in the evolution process men turned into women or vice versa. And speaking of that. Show me ONE time that an animal KIND turned into a different kind. Speciation is 100% a thing and it is evolutionary. No doubt. But a bird does not turn into a cat. And that is all based on the premise that NOTHING created everything. I always find it interesting that the ones that claim to believe in science over God believe the scientific impossibility that NOTHING created EVERYTHING. . . Interesting 🤔

Yes, no matter how scientist versus creationist debates go the creationists ALWAYS declare victory for themselves. That is why I insist that such debates accomplish nothing aside form giving creationists undeserved publicity. That is bad. Ken Ham's laughable ark project was a losing proposition. After the debate though, donations flooded in and the project could move forward. Ham may have been humiliated at the debate by any objective standard, but he cried all the way to the bank.

@@exposidiy6024 Yes I have read the bible several times end to end and maybe twice more in accumulation of different bits. To say that it happened in the Old testament and thus you do not have to pay attention goes against what your jesus said in Mathew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Considering that that has not happened you are still bound by the OT laws as well as the new. On top of that if you want to chuck out the OT you have to lose the 10 commandments, original sin, etc. You can NOT have a New Testament without the Old and your unchanging god clearly changes massively in character in between. The only difference is the laws for the Jews vs the laws for the non-Jews. So you are wrong about that and I suspect you might not have read the bible yourself. Thing two! Do you have any evidence at all for your silly claims about evolution? Cause it is literally the branch of science with the most evidence supporting it. Freaking Gravity has less and I can drop a pen and watch it fall. Your claims show only that you do not understand evolution or Big Bang Cosmology and stellar evolution. Also if you have ever had a flue shot you have benefited directly from our applied knowledge of evolution and that would not work at all if you were right and evolution was false so..... Thing three! Is there any position at all that I could not take if I base it ion faith? If the answer is no then you have a DEEPLY flawed method for determining reality. If faith can excuse any answer it can be used to confirm nothing. Faith is entirely useless and what is worse is that it can confirm the wrong answer in the exact same way it confirms the right one. Far as the bible goes not only have I read it but I have studied its history and the Council of Nicea and how the bible was assembled and how often translation errors are made etc etc etc. Know what found? Same thing as when I investigated any other religions text. An obviously man made and man inspired book trying to make sense of the world around them and mostly getting it wrong. And not just scientifically! Morally! For example the bible says that eternal punishment for finite crime is moral and good but any investigation into basic morality or ethics will show that idea to be flatly INSANE and only something a tyrant of the worst order would even suggest let alone actually carry out. That's from the NT just for you ;) Did... did you say witchcraft? Do you really believe in magic?..... Maybe consider reading a book published this decade? Try out M Theory by Dr. Michio Kaku. He goes through real quick in the beginning to show that we know a LOT LOT LOT more than most religious fundamentalists could even dream! I know this because (again) I was raised christian. It did not hold up to investigation and the Argument from Emotion Fallacy is not good enough. Do you have any real evidence or is this just an argument from fallacies? Cause I don't have any interest in the second but the first interests me greatly.

Obviously biblical time is thought of differently than regular time, in the same way dog years are to human years (7 to 1). When believers say the earth is 6,000 y/o, one year has got to be equal to aprox. 633,333.33 actual years. Multiplied by 6,000 = 3.8 billion years. The age of the earth. Which means God has to be at least 13.8 billion years old (or more). The age of the universe.... 😳 ... I'm a genius!

George Santana Many folks have claimed to have found noahs ark. The problem is, it's never noah's ark. You can't find something that never existed. We have many flood myths, from different cultures, that were regional and happened at different points in time. The claims of a noahs ark point to petrified wood (which takes millions of years to form) and stones that are in the shape of something... but in reality the dating techniques and other realities further point out that these are hoaxes. Most are from charlatans that also have odd claims and make their money from fools through book sales. Go ahead and study the "scientists" that gladly take peoples money and do these "expeditions" in Turkey, they largely receive paper mill degrees and write discredited nonsense. Nobody has found noah's ark. We have no global evidence of a flood. We have trees that are older than 6,000 years. We have civilizations that are older than 6,000 years. We have genetics and can view DNA sequencing that does not show 6,000 years ago apparently we incested to the current population. The math never adds up. Nothing adds up with your claims.

***** You are right nothing came from nothing... Energy did expand transforming into matter, and just because it is unlikely life like earth life would survive in the Universe doesn't mean it takes faith. It is vary possible the big bang model is missing a lot, but you can not say that it takes faith, the big bang theory has evidence in to form of math and observational astronomy. The Universe is 13.9 billion years old, 90 billion light years across, and made mostly of Dark matter and energy (96%) which is nothing that is really something.... To review I believe Evolution and the big bang are true because of mathematic and observational data that by many different fields has been proven. Now to address how what you believe takes less faith then what I believe... You believe that God existed before there was anything, even time, so he came form nothing, he created light before stars, he made stars (the universe) just to guide our travels and signal the seasons (even though we can't see most of them), and that humans were deceived by a talking snake that tricked them into eating a fruit that would allow them to know what evil is and what good is... But wait if they didn't know good and evil how could they know disobeying god was a sin...

It's, at least to me as a person living outside the USA, amusing to see what religion has degenerated to in the USA. For example, here in Germany we don't have religious people go crazy and against science. In the US it's treated like the bible contains an unquestionable truth that contradicts science, therefore science must be wrong. Here it's more like that there's the christian faith and there's the story behind it and the mythology around it and during worship and rituals, these are pretended to be facts of course, but outside of that noone seriously claims that these are true. And even if you meet a "true believer", they usually aren't trouble, just regular people, often extraordinary friendly, because they believe that to be a good thing. I really have a great deal of respect for the atheist movement that spend so much effort on saving children, that is saving their education and keep them guarded from indoctrination.

Gardow That's certainly true, there are a lot of groups who are trying and to a degree succeeding in indoctrinating people, not only religious groups. My point is just that over here religion is about giving people traditions, provide services (such as funerals) and lend a helping hand in some bizarre scenarios, since the church has still some aces up their sleeve. I wouldn't call it dead, but more of a niche thing. However in America creationist are demanding obediance by abusing the education of children and the politics have yet failed to firmly stand against that, so scientist have to jump in. Over here there's a simple regulation, there are things children have to learn at school (math, sciency, language) but they are entitled to reilgious education as well, from which they can opt out. The religious education takes place at school, but is provided by the respective religous group, which usually means the two churches.

303 Rejects I'm not a cosmologist, but logic would tell me that even if we know k (constant rate of decay), we would also have to know both m¹ (level at origin) and m² (level at present) to reject the theory based on mathematical falsification. The h. sapien animal hasn't been around long in the grand scheme, scientific inquiry even less. Sampling becomes more accurate and reliable the more points of sampling. My first question is, how could we possibly have the expanse of time to take an adequate number of samples? Secondly, what little of astrophysics I know, I understand that things can get wonky in the cosmos. For instance, Newtonian calculus determines gravitational pull by a solitaire source on an object in space, but meets its limitations when more than one source of gravitational pull is acting. By no means am I an astrophysicist, but my understanding of what that community tells us of the cosmos is that it is expanding at an ever faster rate of speed. If the universe is expanding, then proximity between bodies is not constant; neither would I expect magnetic pull to be constant. Adding to this the fact that bodies sometimes collide, split, and join... Let's just say I am a bit skeptical or at least curious how we can determine k (constant rate). Finally, I am a communications sciences major. I know neither those figures nor how one would calculate them. Not that they cannot be calculated, just that I am not trained nor qualified to do so. It's not my realm of expertise. But, m¹ (point of origin) - as far as I can tell - is going to be a major challenge of determination, being that measurement was never taken (obviously, as the process by which we would measure would have been invented yet, as we would not have been here, much less scientifically cognizant to make the inquiry). Perhaps you can explain or point me toward some sources that explain your falsification process more thoroughly? I would be a worthless skeptic if I failed to keep an open mind.

This is coming from the christian (I'd really rather not debate this [It never ends well and you know it]). I believe that religious bias should be completely banned from the PUBLIC school system, and if it's a private school, then they can teach that the sky is purple and that giraffes originated in Antarctica. My main point is, that I believe that religion is a personal set of beliefs, and that those beliefs shouldn't be taught as fact, considering there is a significant amount of bias involved.

The Bible does not say the world was created unequivocally in seven 24 hour days. The Hebrew actually says it was created in seven "Yoms" (it's my understanding that there is no word for a 24-hour day in Hebrew). "Yom" means, literally, "long period of time". It has been translated as "day" for simplicity's sake. A "Yom" can mean a 24 hour period (IE: I haven't eaten in a "long period of time"), or it could be billions of years (IE: the universe took a "long period of time" to develop). It's a flexible term, in other words. There is no necessity to perceive it as a literal 24-hour period, and people as early as St. Augustine were suggesting this (about 1500 years before the Theory of Evolution, and long before we had a conception of the universe being billions of years old). Furthermore, while it says God created humans male and female, it doesn't clearly say HOW. Why not via evolutionary processes? "God created them male and female via evolutionary processes". Nothing explicitly contradicting the bible in that sentence. Indeed, the bible says Man was created from the "dust of the earth"; not a radically different proposition than most evolutionists make. Clearly, it's very easy to reconcile the bible with science. We don't need one to trump the other.

Good points, although you are justifying vague outlines of what the bible proposes. Because of the ambiguity of the term "Yom", you can't really use it to justify what many argue, which is the world being created in 600 years. Because so many things in the Bible are open to interpretation and proven contradictory, it is easy to rationalize and tailor it to make it work with science. It is also easy to express it in contradiction with science. This is why religion is such a powerful tool when it comes to manipulating the masses. Science on the other hand does not need to reconcile to the Bible, it functions and changes in search for the truth.

I mean, I took religion for 7 years in school and this was never discussed or told. At the same time however, evolution was taught in my school as fact. This debate about the world's age seems to be a thing very specific to the USA people and their educational system. As a non american, I find the whole thing extremely weird.

I'm a Christian and I totally agree. The bible is not to be taken literally. Jesus almost always used metaphors when he taught. The bible has been written and rewritten over thousands of years by different people with very different (and illogical) interpretations, not to mention translated from a completely different language. Anybody can write their own version of the bible and mass produce and all the ignorant Christians will believe what is says with every fiber of their being without question. Jesus even said himself, "My people perish because of ignorance"... or something along those lines. People shouldn't hate all religion, just those who take it way too seriously and those who harm others because of misinterpretations. Thumbs up for a logical Christian?

Jesus didn't pop out miraculous results out of nowhere, well he kinda did but not directly, and so does God, our Human minds are imperfect therefore we tend to loose some of the stories after hundreds of generations before they invented writing. Since we got all that cleared out let me talk about the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). do you know what the definition of a Christian is, Christ-ian followers of say it with me now Christ, C-H-R-I-S-T Christ as in the messiah aka Jesus from Nazareth, the term christian basically mean that we are the followers of Christ, we believe that he is the Messiah, the promised one, the son of God sent to us to wipe our sins clean and bring us salvation. The RCC follows exactly that, and organization, we have a strong organization structure, we have our own president, the pope, who inspires people more than 1 billion people, we have a representative democratic like system. so it's an organization that has a government-like system, has it's own capital and is a follower of Christ and the bible. Therefore it's a Christian organization since it fits both the Criteria. And don't make assumptions like that not every science supporting christian r like that, although I do agree with u that abortion should only be used if someone's endangered, if ur going to shout at me for supporting abortion i don't but like euthanasia it shud be used for emergencies like if the mother's life is endangered.

Or believing in parallel universes which there is not a shred of evidence for. Why believe in parallel universes? because it is so improbable for life to exist, because if the force of gravity was off by about: .00000000000000000000000000000000000001%, then the earth and the sun wouldn't exist. Ignorance is also believing that something could come from nothing. No science can prove anything about that We cannot simulate an environment of nothing: no space, no time. nothing cannot be unstable, it is nothing. I could keep going. It is either ignorance or a denial of the facts. (The difference between micro evolution and macro evolution is that micro evolution is observed in species today. Macro evolution in not.

Either evolution and atheist is true or the bible is true, but they can't both be true at the same time, it's simple logic. First of all the original question was not whether evolution was true or not, but whether it would be helpful in modern innovation. I do not think it is helpful. you do. lets stick to one track. I believe that large scale evolution is false, but even if I believed it was true, I would not think that it could be helpful to cure viruses, it in nature is very unpredictable, and we would need to know tons of other factors that could have an effect on evolution, to accurately predict the mutations of viruses and such. In fact, I see the excuse for evolution helping in innovation in science as desperation to make it relevant as a science. It is cool to learn about where we came from but if its from evolution you really can't follow through.

Bill's right were pretty dumb, but is not our fault. The main reason I personally don't learn anything is because most of my teachers suck, here's a what a normal class looks like. Teacher:*Spends the whole class yelling at us for no reason then gives us an homework assignment.* Student:But you didn't teach us anything. Teacher: To bad Student: Okay... When is it due? Teacher: Sometime in the future. Student: But... Teacher: Are you talking back to me? Student:No.. i'm just! Teacher: DETENTION! In short hand, its not a good learning environment. The only thing I do in school is keep my head down and try not to get any attention from teachers. Their are a few really great teachers and I really enjoy there classes/subject but theirs only like 1 or 2.

It was Bishop James Ussher who did the calculation which religitards still accept today, and that was in the 17th Century - in Ireland. It's based on Adam being created on the 6th day, and having his offspring when he was 130 years old, followed by a series of "begats". So, yes, the bible actually gives the age of the Earth as just over 6000 years old.

I think it is because of people's interpretation of Genesis since it literally says that God took 6 days to finish creating Earth and on the 7th he rested. However, the thing people miss is that Genesis is written in the form of a poem, just giving an artistic illustration of how the Earth, animals, and humans are created. To be honest, there is more meaning in the writing style of Genesis than the actual words. *small example in the next part* One example, is that the process (and description) in which God made mankind is different than everything else, giving a sense that humans are special to God. In addition, humans were created last; it is analogous to having a baby. When parents are expecting a baby, they would prepare a room, bed, and stock up on stuff just to welcome the baby when it arrives. Similar to what parents would do, God prepared a "room" for the arrival of mankind. Just a small example where the writing style of Genesis is more important than the literal words. Unfortunately, I don't know why the Bible uses the term, "day"; maybe to God (whatever nth dimensional being he is), a day is all he experiences. No idea, just pulling things out of thin air but 6000 years doesn't seem to be right.

The hypothesis that the earth is millions of years old assumes that there is no god, only physical processes. The hypothesis that the earth is thousands of years old assumes that there is a god intervening in his creation. It then depends on your starting assumptions how you interpret the data.

@gamingwithkira671

@@BillMorganChannel "1) How did matter and energy originate?" just before the Big Bang, space was filled with an unstable form of energy, whose nature is not yet known. At some instant, this energy was transformed into the fundamental particles from which arose all the matter we observe today. That instant marks what we call the Big Bang. A remarkable consequence of this model is that, if even a pinpoint of space contained this primordial form of energy, then the pinpoint of space would expand extremely rapidly and would bring into existence more of the same kind of energy. In fact, all the matter in the universe could have arisen from a bit of primordial energy weighing no more than a pea. This amazing scenario is a consequence of applying Einstein's theory of gravity to the inflationary universe model. Thus the known laws of nature can in principle explain where the matter and energy in the universe came from, provided there was at least a tiny seed of energy to begin with. "2) How do you think life originated?" Living things (even ancient organisms like bacteria) are enormously complex. However, all this complexity did not leap fully-formed from the primordial soup. Instead life almost certainly originated in a series of small steps, each building upon the complexity that evolved previously: Simple organic molecules were formed. Simple organic molecules, similar to the nucleotide, are the building blocks of life and must have been involved in its origin. Experiments suggest that organic molecules could have been synthesized in the atmosphere of early Earth and rained down into the oceans. RNA and DNA molecules - the genetic material for all life - are just long chains of simple nucleotides. Replicating molecules evolved and began to undergo natural selection. All living things reproduce, copying their genetic material and passing it on to their offspring. Thus, the ability to copy the molecules that encode genetic information is a key step in the origin of life - without it, life could not exist. This ability probably first evolved in the form of an RNA self-replicator - an RNA molecule that could copy itself. Many biologists hypothesize that this step led to an "RNA world" in which RNA did many jobs, storing genetic information, copying itself, and performing basic metabolic functions. Today, these jobs are performed by many different sorts of molecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins, mostly), but in the RNA world, RNA did it all. Self-replication opened the door for natural selection. Once a self-replicating molecule formed, some variants of these early replicators would have done a better job of copying themselves than others, producing more "offspring." These super-replicators would have become more common - that is, until one of them was accidentally built in a way that allowed it to be a super-super-replicator - and then, that variant would take over. Through this process of continuous natural selection, small changes in replicating molecules eventually accumulated until a stable, efficient replicating system evolved. Replicating molecules became enclosed within a cell membrane. The evolution of a membrane surrounding the genetic material provided two huge advantages: the products of the genetic material could be kept close by and the internal environment of this proto-cell could be different than the external environment. Cell membranes must have been so advantageous that these encased replicators quickly out-competed "naked" replicators. This breakthrough would have given rise to an organism much like a modern bacterium. Some cells began to evolve modern metabolic processes and out-competed those with older forms of metabolism. Up until this point, life had probably relied on RNA for most jobs (as described in Step 2 above). But everything changed when some cell or group of cells evolved to use different types of molecules for different functions: DNA (which is more stable than RNA) became the genetic material, proteins (which are often more efficient promoters of chemical reactions than RNA) became responsible for basic metabolic reactions in the cell, and RNA was demoted to the role of messenger, carrying information from the DNA to protein-building centers in the cell. Cells incorporating these innovations would have easily out-competed "old-fashioned" cells with RNA-based metabolisms, hailing the end of the RNA world. Multicellularity evolved. As early as two billion years ago, some cells stopped going their separate ways after replicating and evolved specialized functions. They gave rise to Earth's first lineage of multicellular organisms, such as the 1.2 billion year old fossilized red algae.
