Q4P is the Magic Bullet

Humans are the culmination of everything wrong with Darwinism tossed right in our faces. We are an amazingly adept species at useless skills, at least from a survival perspective. Imagine for a moment how bizarre we would seem to aliens if they were evolved purely from natural selection. Most of our day’s activities would seem pointless.

Q4P is the Magic Bullet

Birnbaum makes no claim that evolution doesn’t exist. Far from it. Potentialism teaches us that everything is in a state of evolution, not just life – but the entirety of the universe. What Darwin so stunningly missed was the cause of evolution.

That is not to say that natural selection doesn’t occur. Far from it. It is the cause that is at issue. Darwin posits that genetic chaos is the sole provider of change and evolution. We are left to believe that it can somehow:

1. Produce effects that are essentially useless until more changes, further down the road, have need for them - those useless intermediary steps.

2. That those useless intermediary steps are somehow baffling non-existent in fossil records.

3. That these rare mutations that are actually useful somehow survive an untimely death the likes of which occur to animals daily throughout the world.

4. That life just sprang into existence without cause.

Further, we are forced to ignore what are arguably some of the greatest achievements of humankind because they don’t directly relate to natural selection.

What Darwin fundamentally misses is the SuperFormula. Q4P is the engine of change. Its path is not remotely random, but following a roadmap laid out by Extraordinariation. As we’ve seen, this invariably plays out as Complexification.

Birnbaum’s Potentialism solves all of these problems:

1. Intermediary mutations of no immediate benefit are possible because Q4P will supply the accompanying useful mutation at a later date as it is planned.

2. Gradual change is not needed when setting aside Darwinism, so fossil records would reflect this.

3. Useful mutations are not rare or isolated. With Potentialism, evolution can move along at a good pace, doesn’t waste time with dead ends, and more than one animal can sport a mutation at once as it is driven by Q4P, not chance.
