Fire it up, what the hay? Having a slow night as the Blizzard of 05, now downgraded to the snowshower of this week, finally gets underway outside.

Lets start a wild abiogenesis thread. The transitional between pre-life and true life has been found.

Maybe they are the original parasites. Maybe they started out like the one shown here, using bacteria as their hosts. No need to be able to convert energy. Later, they mutated to be able to infect higher forms of plant and animal life.

A 400 Angstrom wide virus with DNA and RNA? That's not a parasite, that's a carnivore! It'll be a killer whale by 2050. (Everything that will ever happen will happen by 2050, somehow.)

I thought Dembski said it was 1050 (Er ... 1050) ?

I say "Angstrom," you say "nanometer."
I say "tire gauge," you say "barometer..."

I'm sorry I just can't agree. I know in my heart it will not be until 2051,..June 13.

I'm just using inductive logic. How often do you hear the phrase, "by 2050 blah blah blah will have overtaken the whatchamacallit." Obviously 2050 is the year from Hell.

By 2050, it'll be 1984.
