Sorry, too lazy to edit html today.

I have no doubt that God encoded a propensity for life into the laws of the universe!

What dreams did the parents hold for their child when they named (him?) Attila?

[Fungi]

nonsense.

[NormsRevenge]

I’d like to see the stack of punchcards he used..

HUGH!!!

Man’s mind may never fully grasp the forces that exist

That created and destroyed countless civilizations before

In due time, this mess we call Terra firma too

Will evaporate into to so much celestial debris

Why?

That’s life!

[DavidLSpud]

“Man” says to God...

“We can create life.”

God says, “OK, give it a try.”

“’Man’ says, first we take some dirt and light.”

God says, “Wait a minute, create your own dirt and light.”

[YHAOS]

A physical theory of life . . . speaking “broadly.”

BEEP!

[bunkerhill7]

Quartz crystals always come in an orderly form mostly the same replication growing all the time, but they been deaD NEVER ALIVE for millions of year even sitting in the sunlight, still D-E-A-D REALLY DEAD!
This a crock of crap from UK morons.

[Nervous Tick]

yadda yadda yadda yadda This could mean that under certain conditions yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda

In other words, he's got nuttin'.

My money remains on Yahweh, the Creator. When He speaks, Life results!

[jps098]

But, but... he has a computer model! Likely the same one that shows us 5 degrees warmer in our global warming hockey stick.

What (( IF )) life is spiritual and anything 3D is merely an image projected thru a dark energy matrix..

Which may include “this” entire universe.. which some say is mostly dark energy..

Which nobody really knows “what is” except that it’s “there”... wherever there is..

This Would be “cool”... could explain a lot..
Since the “BIG BANG” seems to be a Fairly Tale for adults..
You know..... like Marxism..

[Yosemitest]

I can go two ways on this … from the Bible.
The FIRST is obvious:

" … For the invisible things of him
from the creation of the world
are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made,
even his eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God,
they glorified him not as God,
neither were thankful;
but became VAIN in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.
PROFESSING THEMSELVES TO BE wise,
THEY BECAME FOOLS … "

Then again, I could point to the SECOND and say
that they are searching for HOW God CREATED LIFE where there was NO LIFE (But I seriously doubt that they believe in God) :

" … Behold, the people is one,
and they have all one language;
and THIS they BEGIN to do:
and now NOTHING will be restrained FROM them,
which they have IMAGINED TO
DO … "

I'm pretty sure the FIRST is more applicable than the SECOND.

“liberate biologists from seeking a Darwinian explanation”

An admission that Darwinism is a burden for the biologists.

[Nervous Tick]

>> An admission that Darwinism is a burden for the biologists.

Exactly.

[YHAOS]

“Quartz crystals always come in an orderly form”

“Orderliness” is what defines quartz crystals. Yes?

Thanks for the comeback.

[YHAOS]

“which some say is mostly dark energy.. ”

Can “dark” energy be any more believable than the “Big Bang”? Jus askin’

Thanks for the comeback.

Sounds easy enough. Now, go ahead and make me some life Poindexter. I’ll wait.

[Hot Tabasco]

nonsense.

Why? What's the basis of your opinion?

[kitkat]

EXCELLENT!

[I want the USA back]

He has hit upon something. This bears further research.
