Evo logic - science !



The fact that freezing water makes ice crystals - snowflakes ... proves evolution too --- hailstones will be people some day !



Anti - entropy (( physics )) too !



Evolution is an open system

(( not subject ... exempted --- to natural physical laws - thermodynamics )) ---


solar - sun generated ...


turn on the lights and the house will clean itself ...

eventually a family will appear !



Wash and dry dishes on a rock ...

rain washed ---

sun dried !



Road kill cabin fever science !

Wow! Thanks for this excellent bit of info.

I donno. My very limited understanding of dark energy is that it only manifests its effect on a cosmological scale. In that case, it wouldn't affect the formation of planets. I think that plain old gravitational attraction would be sufficient for planetary formation. I'm pinging RA for his input (which will be much more informed than mine).

Your posts never make any sense. What is up with that?

Thank you so much for your reply and for sharing your view of it! I also am hopeful that RadioAstronomer will have some answers or perhaps, leads to follow.

Well, considering that you could get about 1.8 billion such silver dollars on a 10 square mile grid, if you had a vantage point that allowed you to scan from high enough I believe you could spot the red one rather quickly; scanning the universe from the inside through and about would be as difficult as Archimedes searching for a "place to stand."

There is a reference to Darwin. His computer always alerts him to Darwin posts so he can give fair and balanced treatment to creationist thoughts.

I am not so sure about that in this case. Miked or Physicist may be closer to this question. However, here is a really cool link to an ongoing compilation of knowlege that includes discussions on dark energy.

I will look into this a bit further myself as well. :-)

Isn't the mathematical problem the fact that the necessary mass can't be found so, to keep the equations balanced, we must posit some mysterious, unseen mass (or energy) to balance the equation?

If what we see now demands that a process is in progress then we must explain our rationalizations or admit to a cyclical phenomenon which we are only allowed to witness; it is this nasty beginning bit that we can't get past.

So you post nonsense to show that evolution doesn't make sense?

Spontaneous - morphing matter - life makes sense ?

You believe that on face value with out understanding - explaining it ... and you think --- I have a problem ?

ROFL, you put words in my mouth. I never said anything about what I believe. All I did was say your posts never make sense. They are too cryptic to understand.
