Are You Too Dumb to Understand Evolution?

Sept 10, 2008 — Astrobiologist David Deamer believes that life can spontaneously emerge without design, but he thinks lay people are too uneducated to understand how this is possible, so he gives them the watered-down version of Darwin’s natural selection instead, which he knows is inadequate to explain the complexity of life. That’s what he seemed to be telling reporter Susan Mazur in an interview for the Scoop (New Zealand). Is the lay public really too dense for the deeper knowledge of how evolution works?...

You just saw 1256? Are you now starting to understand or are you still lost?

[ColdWater]

Yesterday, I had a question to you about 2-body orbits which you did not answer. Did you do the homework assignment I gave to you last night?

[ColdWater]

There is a difference between orbiting and being orbited.

What is the difference?

[whattajoke]

You're too much! Calm down, buddy.

Really, I don’t give a rip, I know that the Bible does not condone abortion and does condone the death penalty.

I don't condone abortion and I support the DP too. But I'm hardly as authoritative as the Bible.

You seem to care a lot about arguing this issue. Bother someone else who cares.

YOU put the OT verses on FR in order to show the Bible condones the DP. My point, that you are either too angry or too scared to discuss, is quite valid.

That is, you point to pro-DP verses, then back them up with a Matthew verse somehow. But what about the many other verses I can only assume you do not follow. I didn't see Matthew pick and choose. How do you? (And, for the sake of keeping tenuously on topic, how do you then decide Genesis is "law" but infanticide is antiquated? I find this discussion very interesting.

I'm sorry that you don't.

“No. I am saying that the component in the change in apparent position due to the earth's rotation is approximately 2.1 degrees.”

2.1° is no more special than 5.4°

At least that I have seen demonstrated.

[Fichori]

“You just saw 1256?” [excerpt]

Its what happens when you get ping vision.

I'm just now starting to catch up with the tread.

[ColdWater]

Please explain your 5.4 degrees.

“Yesterday, I had a question to you about 2-body orbits which you did not answer. Did you do the homework assignment I gave to you last night?”

My reply: 1236

ON nearly every thread you bring your obsession with abiogenesis, as if there is some magic barrier that will prevent science from figuring out how life began. It’s just another argument from gaps, and it’s a really stupid position to hold, because the gaps will erode.

For the record, ignorance of some aspect of history does not invalidate known history. Not knowing exactly how and when the first humans came to America does not mean that There were no humans to greet Columbus, nor does it suggest they were poofed into existence just before he arrived. Nor does it mean we must ignore or withhold teaching American history until the problem of origins is settled.

I didn't come here to learn about two-body orbits from a guy that doesn't know the difference between time-light correction and the aberration of light

Why do you make things like that up and post it. I have been trying to explain that to you but to no avail.

[ColdWater]

Then you should be able to answer my question to you about the differences in orbiting.

[Fichori]

“There is a difference between orbiting and being orbited.”

“What is the difference?”

LOL!

Oh dear...

Light-time correction versus the Aberration of light

Ones is the result of orbiting, the other is result by being orbited.

(i.e. motion of the observer v. motion of the observed)

[ColdWater]

Ones is the result of orbiting, the other is result by being orbited.

What is the difference between orbiting and being orbited? Simple question, stop evading it.

[ColdWater]

Ones is the result of orbiting, the other is result by being orbited.

Let me rephrase the query.

Define "orbiting"
Define "being orbited"

Define the difference between "orbiting" and "being orbited".

[Fichori]

“Please explain your 5.4 degrees.”

If my calculations are correct, its how many degrees the Earth turns in 21.6 minutes.

[ColdWater]

Why did you pick 21.6 minutes?

[ColdWater]

Ignore my last. I now know the significance of 21.6 minutes. All is solved. Thank you.

[Fichori]

“Why did you pick 21.6 minutes?”

Actually, I didn't pick 21.6 minutes.

I picked 5.4° and then went and did the math.

Kinda like the 2.1°, 8.3999999520 minute correlation.

Just like the 14.29°, 57.1599999360 minute correlation.

Hey, whata ya know!

There is also the 360°, 1440 minute correlation!

Am I smart or what!

[ColdWater]

Am I smart or what!

Smart? Smart like a three year old ...

[Fichori]

At least I still have my sense of humor.☺
