  • A reply on Conversation: Can Theory of Evolution explain the existence of salmon fish? If it can't, does God exist?

    Dec 27 2011: Yes, Julija.

    Actually this question can go further.
    Why do technical people like my friend and me sometimes fall faith in a great being or super nature?
    The question is tricky here to inspire people to rethink over the relationship between science and religion.

    Dec 26 2011: Hi Edward,

    Thank you very much for your materials and objectivity.
    Actually in America, China and some other places, a lot of dams were built on streams. After that, environments upstream go worse and worse.

    Just as you said,although salmon contributes part of nitrogen, it still plays an important role.

    Dec 26 2011: Hi Julija,

    I think you miss my point of question.
    My question is evolution cannot explain this development of a very special fish, because there is no survival advantage for the salmon to return so high in the mountains. The benefit is for the planet.

    I didn't deny other nitrogen circles in nature. Even if God does not exist, there must be something wrong with Theory of Evolution, right?

    Dec 19 2011: Thank you, Tibor. Your answer is reasonable, but if we look further, we will still find questions.

    As what you said, they bred there because of higher survival rate of eggs. However, actually why should they choose there? Are there no other places safer than those mountain streams? Why do all salmons choose the same option? Why don't they bring children under their protection?

    I don't mean we should not respect science. My friend and I are very technical people, but we sometimes feel there is a power in nature, because something shown are too delicate to be true.
