Evolution is like Google search algorithm ?

a: To say that life is caused by evolution ~
b: saying that the internet was created by google

What: "Philosophically speaking, all that evolution claims to do is provide a kind of search algorithm. To say that life is caused by evolution, is like saying that the internet was created by google. So even if the proposed evolutionary processes took place, it can't really explain away the mysteries of life or deny intelligent design."

a: competitive inhibition ~
b: sitting on a seat in musical chairs

What:

"Whereas competitive inhibition can be overcome by increased substrate/reactant concentration; non-competitive inhibition cannot be. Competitive inhibition is like sitting on a seat in musical chairs, so others can't sit on it. You'll have to get off eventually, so increased substrate/reactant will eventually defeat you."


"Non-competitive inhibition is like smashing that chair, so no one can sit on it, ever again."

a: Muscle ~
b: a corset

What:

"Transverse abdominis: The best way to visualize your transverse abdominal muscle is like a corset or a back brace that you might wear if you are doing heavy lifting; next time you go to a big warehouse store notice that a lot of the employees wear a back brace."
