The origin of the chemical reaction that produced the light was created by the One who created all things.
Ah, of course.
Ahura Mazda.

I was way too harsh in my earlier post. The Hell you were! Don't wuss out on us now!

Also, the hypothesis of the Big Bang calls for the universe to have expanded faster than c. Currently, that flys in the face of general relativity, MineralMan wall.Ah, Grasshopper, there are many things beyond your understanding. The fabric of the universe, which is what expanded at the time of the Big Bang, is not matter, or even energy, and is not mathematically restricted by those limitations. It is merely a boundary.
Of course, that is merely one theory of the origin of the universe we inhabit. Is it the correct one? I do not know, young Master Pikachu. Perhaps the creating entity waved its appendages and this Big Bang occurred. I do not know that, either. Perhaps it is merely the science experiment of some youthful non-universal entity in some other plane. I do not know that, either. I do know that we appear to be part of a universe with some essential physical laws. How that universe came into being is not knowable by this lowly human. As to the origins of life on this minute speck circling a rather insignificant star, I cannot speak, either. Those origins, at the moment are a matter of hypothesis.

"When these scientists can make a human being from nothing, we'll talk. " Mp> Well, they can make one from almost nothing. It just takes a couple of scientists to do that trick. Takes about 9 months, though.

"Commonalities in the structure of the genetic code of all organisms living today, including humans, clearly indicate their common primordial origin..."
Or as a creationist would put it, "Commonalities in the structure of the genetic code of all organisms living today, including humans, clearly indicate their common designer..."

Why wait? Humans have made god from nothing.

A mutation which could have been caused by a deletion of DNA. Also, apparently doctors successfully removed the boy's extra arm.

No matter how many times you bounce a dead cat, it won't evolve into a dog!
You seem to understand evolution a lot better than most of the posters here! :)

Hey, that's true. And they've done it over and over again. There are so many gods out there, I've lost count.

To: stormer
You're stating your own religious belief, not a fact, stormer.
To: RobRoy
Or as a creationist would put it, "Commonalities in the structure of the genetic code of all organisms living today, including humans, clearly indicate their common designer..." That might be interesting if the alleged Designer had any attributes. Shutting off inquiry is not what science is about.
Tell us something about the Designer that would be useful or which would suggest further research.

I guarantee you that every evolutionist will at some point personally see the folly of evolution. I just hope that their realization happens on this side of their breath.A tired rehash of Pascal's Wager is the best you have to offer? Anything substantive?
How about this for a wager: Define the scientific theory of evolution and then post your ONE BEST argument that reduces it to "folly." It should be instructive for everyone.

I know. Pretty soon it is going to come over here, rub up against my leg, and expect me to feed it. Darned Egyptians!
