The Big Bang: The Double Helix Model Of Evolution

BANG... Billions of years ago there was a chemical reaction that caused a massive expansion called “the Big Bang” (Larocco 2011). Electrons and nuclei formed atoms. These atoms formed a gaseous cloud Earth. Through chemical reactions caused by energy produced by the Sun a molecule that was able to self-replicate developed. This is the first sign of evolution. Through subsequent chemical reactions inorganic compounds came into existence. The first ancestor of today’s cell is called a Protobiont. It took millions of years just to get to this point (Zimmer 2010). It took another 10 billion years for us to discover the key to understanding our own genetic makeup, the double helix. The double helix model first came to the public’s attention when

The Darwinian phase of evolution last for approximately three and a half billion years. Out of the Darwinian phase of evolution human beings evolved. Hawking states that we have done a good job of transferring internal information, but due to the rapid increases of external evolution we are not able to keep up with the external information available. Internal information has been handed down to us through the generations of our DNA. The internal information of our DNA has not had a significant change in over ten thousand years. According to his estimates over the last several million years of evolution our DNA has only been modified by a few million bits. Mathematically speaking that figures out to about one or two bits a year. A bit of DNA contains the information to answer a yes or no

Mechanical machines could then be sent out to explore different stars. (Kazan 2011). The species Homo sapiens would not be able to survive the galactic voyage to explore new life and new civilization. Our current genetic makeup is not suited for space travel. If we sent machines they would be self-designing, and when they land they would start gathering materials and replicate in order to continue their mission. Mechanical machines could one day replace DNA. At one point, DNA replaced an earlier form of life that existed on the planet
