We still can't make a single leaf.

We can't make a planet either. Is astronomy bunk?

re: We can't make a planet either. Is astronomy bunk?)))

You know, it might help your temper to take some time off from science and explore a sister subject, logic, in the philosophy department. There is so much silly about this reply I don't know where to start. I promise, I say this with no dislike whatsoever. I wouldn't have devoted so much digital ink if I were motivated by dislike.

But--a leaf exists, and so does a planet. They are both amazing things. My assertion: We are not capable enough of understanding either well enough to create either. Not exactly an outlandish statement.

But we think we understand them well enough to claim we know how they started. And, my, do those claims sound dogmatic !
