Where did that electrical charge come from?
At some point- something came from nothin'. And that's where you get intelligent design.
Phi Phi Phi- look it up.
***Good post; you beat me to it. A genetic sequence written out on a piece of paper can't replicate, the biological one can. The medium is the message...
Good, now someone explain how to "create" DNA. Has it been done in a lab? And DNA is just one complicated part of the human body. How about blood clotting? How can blood clotting develop over time, step by step, without bleeding to death in the meantime? The whole system needs to be in place. Clot in lung, you die. Clot 30 minutes after a cut, you die. Clot throughout your whole body, you die. Clot that doesn't cover the whole cut, you die.
No it's not.
Earlier today I had thought my daughter left her hula hoop outdoors when I walked past it but now I'm not so sure.
Mac, if you are add me to it. Thanks!
Like evolutionists?
I always assumed He came from the God Farm.
Not everyone is lucky enough to get a good God. We happened to get one that has a habit of getting angry and busting his toys. He does seem to have grown somewhat more benevolent since the says we he killed all the first born of an entire nation.
I wonder if he got replaced sometime in the last few hundred years.
Right. The DNA information is dependent on cellular machinery for its code to be useful in the same way that words are dependent on human minds to be useful. The difference is that while DNA codes for and creates the cellular machinery, humans can exist without information.
First there are oodles of scientists that don't buy the global warming theory - it's our socialist, anticapitalist press that only gives air to those that support their agenda that makes it seem like all scientists support global warming.
Secondly, true scientists have no problem with a theory being wrong - in fact those that do are usually revered and go on to win Nobel Prizes. Einstein is a good example - he showed that Newtons laws don't work under certain conditions and came up with his theory of how nature behaves.
Now his theory is being questioned - String theory is competing to be the newest explanation of nature.
Creationists on the other hand cannot admit to be wrong, because they accept that as an article of faith not physical evidence. Creationism is a dogma not a theory!!
You are out of order! You are not permitted to ask a religionist metaphysical questions of the nature of God. David Hume asked this question, if we are to believe souls are immaterial and exist after death, where were they before birth; they couldn't have been a creation of a material act.
Stephen Hawkins met with the late Pope and was discussing the Big Bang Theory. The Pope appreciated the concept very much, but told Hawkings he should not inquire into the nature of the Universe before the Big Bang.
Metaphysical questions like these make religionists uncomfortable.
Well, "Bush stole the election" is 100% of the DU/Kos etc. crowd. But here we have both sides of the ID/evo!
You're quoting something here, or are these mere utterances of your own imagination?
GREAT POST!
I am not a Christian.
I don't adhere to any organised religion.
So, you are way off on that.
Interesting profile.
When you advocate CS or ID you are in with some religious, and often anti-science, people, whose belief stems from the bible and its view of creation.
On many of these threads they have been trying to destroy the underpinnings of science in order to forward their belief. They state that scientists claim evolution is a FACT, and demand that it be identified in schools as a theory. Scientists all know it is a theory, one which has withstood the test of time, but that's what we get in return.
People whose belief is paramount (i.e., they know the final answer) are using pseudo-scientific methods to get from A to B. Scientists don't know what is beyond A, but they have a method (scientific method) to find out. They have no fixed goal in sight.
But, I don't suppose any logic or expressions of belief will change any opposing minds on these threads. Good night all.
I too would like to be added to the ID ping list. Thanks.
Yes, you do.
