[Ich.:] No, it isn't. What makes you think that it is?
[FC:] How about a $1.35 million reward for the person who first makes a scientifically acceptable hypothesis that results in the proper testing and explanation for the mechanism that caused life to come forth out of the basic elements?
How about it? Are you under the mistaken impression that a prize for a breakthrough proves that a field is a "bitch for evolution"?
If your sources have this information, they really ought to step forth and claim their reward. Or just put it in your own words and claim the reward yourself.
I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone who wasn't here to play games. I won't make that mistake again.
You requested information, I provided it. But rather than try to learn from the information, you play "it must not be very good if it can't win a million dollars" games. Go waste someone else's time.
As for the "prize offer", it's obviously a sham. The first clue is that the submitter must pay $300 to have their submission "evaluated" for the million bucks. Yeah, right -- I've heard less transparent schemes from the telemarketers who call to tell me I've won a "free" cruise.
Second, the "requirements" read like a sequence of hurdles the length of a marathon race.
Finally, it's larded through with scientific howlers and creationist buzzwords. This smells of "Dr. Dino's" bogus "challenge to evolution" which is designed specifically to be impossible, even in theory, to win. Then after a few years the "failure" of anyone to pass the "test" is waved around as "proof" that those silly scientists don't have a leg to stand on.
Nice try.
On the contrary, nice try yourself. Your sources merely describe presumed processes in the emergence of life. They do not define, or even propose a test to find, the mechanism behind those processes.
Why did you evolve my words from a "b*itch for science" to "a bitch for evolution?" Or do you have games of your own to play?
If you'd like to repost just your salient points while leaving off the namecalling personal attack this time, I'll be glad to address them.
