Scientists May Have Found How Life Began
Fox News ^ | May 14, 2009 | Fox News

British scientists said on Wednesday that they had figured out key steps in the process by which life on Earth may have emerged from a seething soup of simple chemicals, according to Agence France-Presse.

I still do not understand how things can systematically organize themselves to get better.

You're missing a key ingredient. It's not: here are some cells, everything is hunky dory, and -- *POOF* -- there's ONE mutation which is exactly right, and things improve.

It's "here's a LOT of cells. Some copy exactly, some don't. Many of the cells which copy exactly die anyway. Many which don't copy exactly die anyway, or because of the miscopy. It's on the rare occasion that the miscopy provides a benefit, that the inheritor of the miscopy survives. It's a statistical process, and so a lot of the effort is wasted down blind alleys.

Cheers!

Sure guys, but later on He went to his greenhouse to get starts for the garden He planted in Eden.

Right?

Now, where's that greenhouse?

I know we did the "dump in bucket and get Apple Computer" out of it in under 500 million years.

That's why I can go to the Mac store and buy one!

The more they find out about the complexity of life, the more they can't explain it without the Creator.

From the article: "Now a paper published in the British journal Nature by University of Manchester chemists, led by Professor John Sutherland, ventures that an RNA-like synthesis took place through a series of chemical reactions and an important intermediate substance."

You seem to be correct.

Hey, believe me or not. You asked, I answered. Easy as can be.

Still pretending you understand the big words? because many of us get a big kick out of it.

You are so cute I could just *pinch* *your* *little* *cheeks*

*does the little boy want to sit with the grown ups?* *does he wuz he?*

You is sooo cute.

The last primordial soup didn't work. This one won't either. The more they find out about the complexity of life, the more they can't explain it without the Creator.

But thank *God* there are lots of people with the curiosity to try to figure out how it all works. Without them we wouldn't have science or even basic medicine. Those advancements sure didn't come from the type of attitudes many on this thread are so proud of. :~)

I did my best,A/G.

But when met with no logic and all ad hominem, I decided it is appropriate to use parody to show people how they look to the real world.

You shall always get my straight answers, I promise. And if I joke, it will be straight up.

the fact that they have continually tried the ‘pre biotic’ soup,

Reminds me of a joke.

Scientist says to God, "I can create life. First you take some pre-biotic soup and.."

God says, "Wait a minute. You got to make your own pre-biotic soup".

I am waiting for the “747 out of a tornado in a junkyard” analogy. But I am not sure I can buy one right away.

Sadly, the post rehashes completely destroyed lay opinions about complex subjects.

But the tag is pretty funny.

Absolutely right, but they'll never stop trying.

Now they are given an allotted amount of TIME... it just has not run out on them yet.. The Heavenly Father knew what His little children would do to attempt to hide Him from others. And you will read on any given post that evolution is from the Heavenly Father their 'church' approves...

"I am waiting for the “747 out of a tornado in a junkyard” analogy."

Actually that's 10^47th times as likely as evolution, and 10^49th more likely than you passing a professional exam.

Nope. I just know stuff. You, OTOH, must be up for a “How to Destroy America’s Scientific Leadership in One Generation” award. I assume it is in the shape of a tin can.

Please accept it, with my compliments.
