Human nature, power, bigotry, fringe religions, to name but a few.In any case, there is no question that evolution happens; things can be seen to be changing. It's just a matter of providing a 'reason' (the intelligent design merchants) or realising that you don't actually need a reason (people who have actually thought it through).I can well appreciate that the more enlightened view could seem unsatisfactory to people who don't think much. They probably also believe in the Law of Averages.
does anyone know why in biological frames, when physics is applied; the math don't work?
Actually, the maths of evolution are pretty well understood - we can map and predict changes in allele frequency reliably.
I'm not sure what you mean about physics not applying to biological systems though.
Quotedoes anyone know why in biological frames, when physics is applied; the math don't work? I think that statement is not quite 'fair'. You can't just state that "the maths doesn't work". Which bit doesn't work?
When you come to biological systems, the variety of combinations is very much greater and the possible outcomes are correspondingly. The number of possible combinations increases in a factorial manner as the factors multiply - which makes an incredible difference (and I do mean "not believable").Hence you cannot make predictions in the same way as you can with Physics.
what if I told you memories are held within the glial and are refracting crystaline structures; would that just ruin your day?
"in chemistry the only thing important is the structure; they pay no attention to the energy upon the structure; hence the reactions and catalyst are misunderstood"Please don't talk such unmitigated bollocks about my profession.If you know so little about it that you think that statement is true then you would be better advised to keep quiet until you have learned something.
You are actually rejecting the Model, not the Maths.
Chemistry most certainly does deal with non-static situations but, once the number of variables gets too high, it can't cope. Are you looking for some sort of magical reason rather than the huge number of variables involved?
what if I told you memories are held within the glial and are refracting crystaline structures; would that just ruin your day?then you saidWhy should it? Are you just showing off?
When you grow up, you may be able to solve all these problems for us. Thank you, in advance.
because we can all see, you ain't doing it; nor is the billions spent every years.....and no one is even curious to ask why?
Why? How can you say that... billions spent in the field and alzheimers still exists......
Because new knowledge isn't something that's for sale sitting on a shelf that can be bought, someone has to come up with it first.
Bishadi's original question was"Who knows what the primary reason that evolution has not been perfected and taught in the schools worldwide?"Perhaps the question is complex - evolution is taught but maybe not worldwide. Can a theory be "perfected" - no, a theory can only be disproved. Finally, why assume that knowledge should be taught in a school - some may say that these institutions serve a social purpose in behavior not so much as education. Evolution cannot be disproved - this relieves it as having any status, to be disprovable is important. An experiment is needed to disprove and no amount of agreed opinion constitutes proof.
Maybe we can only ask questions as a process rather than to seek some magic a destination.

Sir.... there is not even a mathematical reprsentation of the phospholipid bilayers.they have no idea (in physics/math) how the lipids align in the inversion form awith no peptide bonds....
But that's not relevant, is it? As I said, the maths behind evolution are well understood.
Evolution has not been perfected as that's not how evolution works, it's entirely dependent on environmental conditions and genetic history - that's why evolution has not been 'perfected'.
Why is it not taught in schools worldwide? - That decision has nothing to do with science.
