Are there other cool bacterial motors and engine designs created by nature?

there are all types of "motors" if you consider a motor to be something that converts chemical potential energy into mechanical action. They're called "motor proteins". Ion channels, by moving something between the outside and the inside of the cell, in a way also induce mechanical action.

Basically, if ATP acts upon a molecule, it induces a structural change on that molecule, and it can be seen as a mechanical action upon the molecule's structure.

over at least 3 billion years, yes.
I don't think you understand just the amount of time we're talking about:
If 1 mm were to be one year, 3 billion years is 3000 km, that's 30 hours of non-stop driving at 100km/hour. Imagine that, driving until you get bored, looking at the ground and see a continuous strip, a ruler, of millimeters, from horizon to horizon, speeding by your eyes, and it keeps going, until your ass is hurting, your legs are tired, your stomach is growling, you're passing out of thirst, you've peed in your pants, and those millimeters are still zooming by as you speed on to the horizon.
The sheer number of DNA replications that took place in that amount of time if astronomically large, trillions of mutations took place, most of them were nonsensical and got eliminated, but some of them, in the ocean of imperfect replication attempts, occasionally led to something incrementally more effective at making another copy of the DNA strand, and that sequence was copied more than others, and each alteration accumulated upon the previous ones. And this is assuming that life began on Earth, and that panspermia did not happen. That'd expand your drive time even more, to the point you'd might die of thirst in your car before you reached the end of your drive.
Yes, the numbers involved are that insane.

It did not. The energy of the natural chaos did: there's plenty of energy about, just look at nature around you, you can't avoid energy flows, it's everywhere, and plenty of organic compounds are all over the universe.
>but that'd take an almost infinite number of events on an almost infinite number of planets for the incredibly low odds for life to suddenly begin, "begin".
Yes! In other words, it'd take something as hugely vast as the universe, and an amount of time as hugely long as the time we see the universe as having existed:

Just because you haven't found an answer yet, it doesn't mean there isn't one. As a matter of fact, all knowledge progresses like that.

It's a nice thought experiment but I just don't see it happening
It's like how entropy works
something unlikely could happen but it won't because entropy will always overwrite it with the law of probability
the perfect cell will just bump into some other particles and malform every single time no matter what
I'm not crazy you are

Anonymous No. 16249598

>>16249369
>the law of probability
probability isn't fate, it's just an estimate of how unlikely things are to happen or not at any moment. If the probability is not zero, then it is not impossible, and if the number of "attempts" at a result is sufficiently large, say, trillions of trillions of planets, and several billions of years of continuous moments (and that's only what we can measure when we look back in time, mind you, we don't know if the universe is eternal or not into the past since we cannot observe it before the Particle Horizon), the extremely improbable might just happen. Well, it looks like it "did" because we "are", otherwise we would "be not", but here we are, typing, it happened!

All cells are imperfect: they die. What matters is if they make another copy before they do, and so forth.

tl;dr but agree, most people who are unconvinced by evolution just don't understand the timescales involved.

A million years is basically eternity (and longer than humans have been around) and yet that's just nothing on the evolutionary scale.

and? what you are claiming is that you can just brown noise (anneal) your way over the configuration space towards...this. how man dimensions does this configurations space even have? the solution space is neither smooth nor is it continuous (bad picks die off). plus how do you even share this path that was picked with others? is there some sort of meta-algorithm at work?
there is no way you will find ever a good solution that way. ever.

It's not just random mutation. It's mutation and selection. And yes, there is literally nothing impossible or even difficult to understand that over 2 billion years simple cells can evolve to highly intelligent multi cellular entities.

Evolution and direct instantaneous design by God are functionally the same thing. Hell there even exist theoretical reference frames where it was all created in six days subjectively.

That's not true, it's extremely unintuitive for normal people. If it wasn't then the Greeks would have all believed in it. I wasn't comfortable with evolution (despite believing in it) until I wrote some genetic algorithms by hand.

Let's see: looking at the laws of physics, life either started sometime and someplace, or has always existed. That's it, those are the two options.

We don't know if the universe and time is infinite or not. If it is, you bet those clothes will, eventually, come out dry and folded. But, maybe, as luck would have it, you don't have to wait that long. After all, "luck" exists.

exactly, anon is imagining life starting as cells, or microbes. No one claims that.
Life probably started as such a simple molecular way that the transition between living and non-living might have been quite fuzzy. As Alan Watts once said:
