Odds of it happening like they hypothesize? Incalculable.
lol
I tend to focus on the important ones. Such as the development of the eukaryote which many now believe was the the result of endosymbiosis. The mitochondria used to be bacteria, and that only developed one time. The chloroplast also used to be a bacteria, but it was captured twice. The first led to the development of plants. The other was the capture by an amoeba which had no impact at all.
Regardless, it’s all extremely rare.
Your misplaced mention of entropy doesn’t interest me at all.
There’s 10 minutes I’ll
Never get Back!
Well, I just read all about endosymbiosis, and I understood a little.
It’s the extreme version of “you are what you eat.”
[snip] ...our planet's primordial atmosphere was toxic to life as we know it, consisting of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and other gases. However, by the Paleoproterozoic Era (2.51.6 billion years ago), a dramatic change occurred... known as the Great Oxidation Event (GOE)... the introduction of oxygen to our atmosphere was "more like a fire hose" than a trickle... the oceans and the atmosphere... contained a surprisingly large amount of sulfate, which is the result of seawater reacting with oxygen.... the ancient seawater from which those minerals precipitated had high sulfate concentrations reaching at least 30 percent of present-day oceanic sulfate as our estimations indicate. This is much higher than previously thought and will require considerable rethinking of the magnitude of oxygenation of Earth's 2-billion year old atmosphere-ocean system." [/snip]

Thanks BenLurkin.
[snip] Paleontological research makes it rather apparent that marine animals in some early age were more closely related to fresh-water fauna; in other words, the salinity of the oceans increased markedly at some age in the past. [/snip]
Tell your model to eat something, she’s too thin.
The knots atheists tie themselves into, are simply amazing.
What makes you think they are atheists?
That’s right; it’s turtles all the way down.
Past history, knowledge, experience. Hey, I could be wrong. However, as much as my wife hates it; I tend to be right a whole lot more than I’m wrong.
How would two and a half years change anything?
Okay, good.
For a minute there it looked like you were confused about the science.
How long was a day?
I know, and to think everything about creation was figured out and written down by the glittering minds of the fourth century.
No... It was written long before that. The King James version, which I believe you may be referring to; was translated in 1611.
Test.
Probably just a question of when, not if. Either way.
