Onedoug posted a lecture by Robert Hazen last night. The lecture was basically on the relationships between life and minerals that can only be formed in the presence of life on the planet. It was quite fascinating and Hazen is a very accessible speaker withour talking down to his audience. I've listened to his lectures on the development of the solar system as indicated in the mineralogy of the Earth, Moon and meteorites (left over material from the beginning of the solar system). For an accurate picture of what science has to say about Earth's formation, I'd suggest anyone should listen to
Dr. Hazen's lecture for yourself.
it's very mentally exhausting to read the straw men, outright misrepresentations and ad hominem attacks the the creationist "scientists" deploy.
I very much appreciate your post to mine.
IMHO the scientific method in no way precludes God. For me, in fact, they go hand in hand.
...Making me just a bit leery of this site.
Thanks again.
