Ever watch, “Time Enough at Last?”
That is exactly how I feel!
“That other scientists and scientists in general are unaware of this process shows their lack of understanding of the scientific method.”
Do tell...
Hopy you don’t need glasses.
Mendel for just a quick example.
I am the stereotype. Big glasses, big books.
“Personally, I think Biology would be liberated without Darwinism. Pitch all that overboard, start from scratch. I’d bet you’d see some real developments when you stopped assuming Darwin was right.”
Perhaps the brain trust at the idiotically named Discovery Institute will take you up on that challenge. Chuck it all and develop an entire new biological synthesis that will set everything straight. Any idea how stupid that sounds? Apparently not. Ever taken a science course, known a scientist, or heaven forbid, actually worked in any of the many disciplines?
without God and His omnipresence, could grass grow?
Could a child grow into an adult?
Could the sun shine?
if only I were a trained theologian.
Actually I can explain the basics of evolution and natural selection such that an imbecile could understand them - unfortunately those methods wouldn’t work with the likes of you...
“Ever taken a science course, known a scientist, or heaven forbid, actually worked in any of the many disciplines?”
Yes I have, sir. Quite a few, actually.
“It did when I was in High School and college.”
Not if taught by a person who understood what they were teaching - or perhaps you were one of those students who just didn’t pay very close attention...
RADICAL IDEAS (barf alert for conservatives):
“Cells can be subdivided into the following subcategories:
1. Prokaryotes: Prokaryotes lack a nucleus (though they do have circular DNA) and other membrane-bound organelles (though they do contain ribosomes). Bacteria and Archaea are two domains of prokaryotes.
2. Eukaryotes: Eukaryotes, on the other hand, have distinct nuclei bound by a nuclear membrane and membrane-bound organelles (mitochondria, chloroplasts, lysosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles). In addition, they possess organized chromosomes which store genetic material.”
The funniest thing about theistic evolution is that Christians who buy into it think they’re being logical and sophisticated, but they are then worshipping a Lord descended from a fictional character. The Bible places Adam in Jesus’ geneaology...
Are you a Christian?
And I’m not sure why you are telling me this...
Are you a Christian?
before they chuck it all, I wanted to read it just one last time. I’m gonna miss cell theory. Especially the mitochondrial RNA.
Puzzlingly irrelevant. Do you mean to imply that a person’s philosophical beliefs are restricted by empirical evidence? Or is it the other way ‘round? Do you believe that people who believe or espouse the theory of evolution cannot be Christians? How about Muslim? Or Hindu? What about all the animists in the world? Are they all “Darwinists”?
Not typically but it's still accurate.
I didn't say anything about evolution. You're the one making that ASSumption.PastorJimCM made the assertion "that things move from order to disorder not the other way around".His assertion is refuted by the fact that plants move from disorder to order, and do so via a gain of energy at the Sun's expense - all obedient to the laws of Thermodynamics.Another refutation of his assertion is the cyclical transformation of water between vapor, and liquid, and ice - all driven by the Sun's decay (and all without DNA).
I wonder...what would Pasteur have thought if someone had told him that in 150 years scientists would be telling people that if you don’t believe in spontaneous generation you’re an ignorant religious fanatic?
