Getting rid of bad stuff
Doesn't the prevailing view imply that those things that are seriously damaging to the chance of reproduction will get filtered out?
If so, doesn't the prevailing view imply that random mutations that are NOT seriously damaging to the chance of reproduction get retained?
If that is true, then doesn't the prevailing view predict that random mutations that may be useful in the future but not useful at the moment also do not get filtered out?
In that case, how does the FL model differ? How can you determine is something was intentional or just dumb luck?

Re: Getting rid of bad stuff
It's not snarky nor does it attempt to answer my questions.
In case you missed the significant question, here it is yet again.

Re: The Ubiquitin Story
Is there any reason to think it is inevitable for any fold to arise?
I mean it's obvious that the trend of evolution will be towards greater complexity but beyond that, is there anything that seems inevitable?

Re: The Ubiquitin Story
But the only known initial condition is that the first life was single celled and so it was inevitable that any evolution would tend towards more complex critters.
Well, for example, I would say the evolution of anti-biotic resistance to certain drugs is pretty inevitable.
Which of course is totally irrelevant to this topic even though it is directly predicted by conventional Evolution Theories.

I predict no front-loaders.
The universal distribution of ubiquitin among eukaryotes strongly implies that it is necessary for eukaryotic existence, does it not?
No more than the fact that the water fills the hole implies that the hole was necessary for the water. The only thing implied is that ubiquitin was just good enough to work.
True, it could be a "frozen accident." But the front-loaders aren't going to gamble their chances on accidents. It would be far better design logic just to put that protein fold into the first cells.
But there is evidence of the existence of accidents while no one has ever presented any evidence of the existence of the front-loaders.

Re: I predict no front-loaders.
Because it was just good enough to work. As you said, a "frozen accident".

Re: I predict no front-loaders.
But there is evidence of accidents and no evidence of front-loaders.

I predict no intended outcome
Why should anyone assume that there was ANY intended outcome?

Re: I predict no intended outcome
Nonsense, and the overwhelming evidence is that there was no intended outcome.
