... scientific assault on age-old questions that are central to the debate over the theory of evolutionWell Duh! - finally, a MSM reporter points out the obvious, plus the bonus of pointing out the lack of 'ambition' for these questions before now - Bravo Zulu Gareth!!!
."...the Harvard project begins with awe at the nature of life, and with an admission that, almost 150 years after Charles Darwin outlined his theory of evolution in the Origin of Species, scientists cannot explain how the process began."
Rush picked this up during the third hour of his show today. I couldn't believe this article made his attention, but during work, I couldn't check to verify he was Freeping to get it. (He even mentioned Freepers today regarding Club Gitmo). But seeing it wasn't posted, here it is...
Now, the REAL million dollar question: what took Harvard so long to get to this point? And if the Discovery Inst. hadn't been doing the work it has been doing, does anyone seriously believe that Harvard would spend money on this? Not a chance. This announcement by Harvard is nothing less than a giant white flag raised above a key fortress of 'intelligent people'. And it is a FLAT OUT VICTORY for the folks who have been promoting ID.

fundraising has not begun, the scientists said. They can find out how life began after they figure out how fundraising begins.

You can get a good Bible for $50.00 and pocket the $999,950.

I've typed and retyped several responses, but I've decided to wait until I calm down.

I've been there my friend. I post about a fourth of what I type and trash the rest. Probably a good thing.

Well, it did make the Rush show today, (and clearly, I don't know how to use the search function (typed in Harvard, and noted the first article in the list was older that august .. guess the search doesn't sort by date/time ...)

"We start with a mutual acknowledgment of the profound complexity of living systems," said David R. Liu, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard. But "my expectation is that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of logical events that could have taken place with no divine intervention." My expectation is that Mr. Liu's expectations will not change no matter how utterly they fail in finding such "very simple series of logical events". The power of faith will prefail.

It appears that the EIB Institute lacks a credible Science Department. Nobody said Rush was perfect.

That's because in the good old days, when scientists revered the Bible as the Word of God, they found *cures* for diseases, and not just ways to hide their symptoms or help you live with them.
