Battle Between Bubbles Might Have Started Evolution

Each body in the Solar System has a unique composition of certain isotopes in certain proportions. By comparing the composition of the meteorite with the known compositions of the planets, researchers can determine the origin of the rock.

When modern science can't even predict the weather a couple of days in advance, it is foolish to think that it can figure out the origin of the universe.

When science can't even predict the location or vector of a quantum particle, it is foolish to think it can figure out how to make an electric light.

There was a time when I would
argue about such matters with people .

I would let it bother me to the point
my blood pressure would get too high.
I have since matured and now
I just pray for you.
May GOD bless you and keep you and all your loved ones
through out eternity.

[RadioAstronomer]

Thank you for your prayers.

I don't see the point of this "research" -- you can't prove it empirically or theoretically -- it would always remain speculation. Hence, there's no point in doing this -- leave the idea of creation to religion

I can agree with small-scale evolution -- wolves to dogs etc. but taking that and trying to extrapolate backwards is like taking a piece of the small toe bone of a man's skeleton and trying to picture what he looked like

My DSL connection blew out today. I think it's related to my upgrade to Windows Service Pack 2 this morning. Anyway, I'm here on dial up until Bellsouth sends me an upgraded modem.

After waiting what now seems an agonizing amount of time for the thread to load, I find an incredible amount of truly worthless posts. Things are going downhill.

Anyway, even if Frances doesn't bounce me offline, Microsoft seems to have done so, just about.

One question: where did the genetic material come from.

This couldn't be first life, it would be later life.

Genetic material implies life by definition. In organic material does not have genes.

Genetic material implies life by definition.

So if I create some DNA in a test tube from inorganic chemicals, am I a god?

Anyway, I'm here on dial up until .....

At long last, the playing field has been levelled.

I find an incredible amount of truly worthless posts. Things are going downhill.

You just figured this out?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[RJS1950]

What the hell, this is too good an opening, so I'll throw them both out.

Tiny bubbles....

and

I didn't know Lawrence Welk and his champagne music were that old!

Yes, you're not troubled by the fact that you are so arrogant as to claim to know that a statement is false without even reading it.

[WKB]

evolution is one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.



Evolution is BS

[aNYCguy]

In a controversy so filled with verbose obfuscations and long-winded fallacies, your insistence on only putting forth exceptionally concise non sequiturs is refreshing!

[Dimensio]

Evolution is BS

Well, that clears it all up. Sure, evolution might have more than 150 years of research and evidence backing it up, but here we have you saying, out of the blue, "Evolution is BS" without you even making the slightest attempt to refute any of the evidence for it, so clearly it must be false, in the same way that a person can falsify Christianity by saying that "Christianity is BS".

[Old Professer]

"We proposed that the genetic material could drive the growth of cells just by virtue of being there,"

Somebody has to ask: How did they "get there?"

[PatrickHenry]

Placemarker.

[longshadow]

Placemarker.

Placemarkers are BS.

[WKB]

Well, that clears it all up


Well thank you
I am glad we now agree
Evolution is BS
