From BBC:
Quantum processes may occur not quite so far from our ordinary world as we once thought. Quite the opposite: they might be at work behind some very familiar processes, from the photosynthesis that powers plants – and ultimately feeds us all – to the familiar sight of birds on their seasonal migrations. Quantum physics might even play a role in our sense of smell.
In fact, quantum effects could be something that nature has recruited into its battery of tools to make life work better, and to make our bodies into smoother machines. It’s even possible that we can do more with help from the strange quantum world than we could without it. More.
What? “Nature has recruited into its battery of tools”? So BBC science toffs believe nature to be an intelligent being? If they don’t mean that, why do they put it that way?
Hasn’t their system become non-computable?
This sort of thing is the real reason why Darwinism is beginning to fall apart, even if the Royal Society’s rethinking evolution meeting this November fizzles. That’s a defeat for the Royal Society, but they surrendered without a fight.
Someone else will need to do the work.

I have been reading about the quantum folding effects of proteins and it is fascinating. For the materialist it seems that there is a ghost in the machine after all.LOL
Yes jimmontg,
Protein folding, and DNA repair, both give evidence for ‘a ghost in the machine’, i.e. a soul, in that they both provide fairly strong evidence that highly advanced ‘quantum computation’ is occurring in the cell.
Firstly, both protein folding and DNA repair are examples of the infamous ‘traveling salesman problem’:
Yet it is exactly this type of ‘traveling salesman problem’, (that lies at the heart of the protein folding problem and the unanswered question of DNA repair), that quantum computers excel at:
Moreover, Quantum Computation simply is not reducible to any materialistic explanation. It is not even reducible to a materialistic ‘many worlds’ explanation
As to this quote from the protein folding paper:
As to that quote, it is interesting to note that the answer in quantum computation does not even ‘materialize’ into a definite 3-Dimensional state until it is measured at the end of the computation
Moreover, due to, among other things, the extremely fragile nature of quantum coherent states, man has yet to build a quantum computer of any significant size,,,
And yet whereas the slightest environmental noise presents extreme difficulties for man in his quest to build quantum computers of any significant size, on the other hand, life is apparently designed in such an ingenuous way that “Environmental noise drives a persistent and cyclic generation of new entanglement”
Moreover, for quantum computation to even be possible, ‘non-local’, beyond space and time, quantum entanglement must first be present.
More specifically, ‘non-local’, beyond space and time, quantum entanglement (A. Aspect, A. Zeilinger, etc..) is used as a ‘quantum information channel’ in which to perform quantum computations,,,
And indeed, we now have evidence for ‘non-local’ quantum entanglement/information in both Protein and DNA chains.
And as is fairly well known by now, Quantum Entanglement, due to quantum non-locality, simply refuses to be reduced to any within space-time matter-energy cause.
In fact, in the following paper, the physicists showed that the greater the number of particles in a quantum hypergraph state, the more strongly it violates local realism,
Moreover, quantum information is conserved, i.e. cannot be created or destroyed:
Besides providing direct empirical falsification of neo-Darwinian claims that say information is emergent from a material basis, the implication of finding ‘non-local’, beyond space and time, and ‘conserved’ quantum information in molecular biology on such a massive scale, in every DNA and protein molecule, is fairly, and pleasantly, obvious.
That pleasant implication, or course, being the fact that we now have physical evidence strongly suggesting that we do indeed have an eternal soul that lives beyond the death of our material bodies.
