The Human Methylome: What Do These Patterns Mean? (high state of living cell's design "astonishing")

” researchers have stumbled upon a new intricacy of cell function.”

Jesus is smarter than they give him credit for.

OYG!!!! Something new was discovered in a science field....that means all things previously knnown or thought are now null and void!!!

Back to lyin' Brian Thomas MS* after only one article that was not nonsense?

Those who keep up with cell science often cannot help but be impressed with the high state of design they observe in the cell.

....and you, Brian Thomas MS* are not one of "those"...(typical use of the word "design"...check).

It is therefore quite natural to ascribe their origins to a transcendent Creator.

False conclusion, Brian.

It is increasingly difficult in light of ongoing scientific discovery to ignore the fact that “the LORD thy maker…hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth.”

Scientifically, there is ZERO difficulty in ignoring what your book says. Stop perverting science to suit your religious needs.

Hmmm - OK. I don't believe I said anywhere in my post that I thought the Earth was created in 6 literal days - as a matter of fact, I don't buy the literal 6 day thing. I believe God's concept of time differs radically from ours, and it is quite possible a minute of His time could be the same as a million of ours.

I don't believe one species evolved into another, but I do believe a species can evolve and compensate according to their environment.

Hope that clears that up for ya.

“It is no valid objection that science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life” (Darwin, Charles. The Origin of Species. 6th edition, 1882. p. 421

I don't buy the literal 6 day thing.

Then you better prepare for eternal damnation (so say some fR creationists).

I don't believe one species evolved into another, but I do believe a species can evolve and compensate according to their environment.

Can you explain what mechanism stops a particular species from continuing to evolve as the environment continues to change? What if one population is split in two by a catastrophic geologic event, resulting in two drastically different environments -one remains as it was and the other has a near complete change in flora due to volcanic soils. That portion of the population must adapt or die. It does to the point where it can no longer mate with the original population and looks very different due to the different environmental pressures. Do you accept the possibility of such a thing happening?

No I can’t, and I don’t claim to be an expert on the subject. This is just how I feel based upon what I’ve seen and studied in my 47 years on this planet. As I see it, these are the processes put into motion by a creator at some distant point in the past which continue to this day, much of it still not very well understood, and will no doubt be debated until the end of time.

Even though the existance of God cannot be proven scientifically, I am quite confident that not only did God create life and this planet to support it, he is still here and living in spirit. I’ll choose to follow him and trust in his word. If I’m wrong, I’ll guess I’ll find out when I die, right?

If I’m wrong, I’ll guess I’ll find out when I die, right?

Technically, if you are wrong, then when you die you will just be wormfood, and won't ever find out anything again.

[Larry Lucido]

Not if he’s wrong, but the Hindus are right. :-)

Thanks! The more we learn of what creation is, the more our appreciation for the Creator grows!
