Crystal Mysticism Invades Astrobiology

March 20, 2009 — Mystical ideas about the life-giving power of crystals usually go with New Age movies and storefronts. Science is above all that, right? Then what is a reader supposed to think of this opening line by Leslie Mullen on Space.com?...

Question: Did that sentence evolve, or was it intelligently designed?

It’s amazing what people will believe when Darwin’s fanciful creation myth is cloaked in the language of science.

Authigenic chlorite is a good candidate.

If I were an evolutionist I would avoid this crystal stuff like the plague. The basic problem is that crystals are simple ordered repetitive structures, whereas living structures are anything but. The tendency for atoms to form regular repetitive structures is not a help for evolution, it is an obstacle because if you are trying to form a protein you don’t WANT the atoms to keep forming regular crystalline structures.

No no no! You're missing the whole point! Simple patternistic order obviously causes complex, multivariate order like we see in living organisms! Obviously! Because, well, it just OBVIOUSLY does!

Now stop questioning me about it, you cretard IDiot!!!!!

Perhaps it should devolve:

Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.

Ah, the light! God will be pleased to see that we are actually using the brains that he gave us!

The only way evolution is possible is through heterosexual relationships...

But, wait... Why are these supposedly secular evolutionists so obsessed with homosexuality supposedly being natural???

For the Left, its not about science or truth.

Its about feel-good politics and organized chaos.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Such profound lack of knowledge of biology is sad. You would benefit from a little education.

"You would benefit from a little education."

Perhaps we all could. Maybe we could all go (back) to college and be exposed to such advanced evolutionary concepts as punctuated equilibrium.

(I hear that Willard of Ockham really liked that one.)

By the way - LOVE you homepage - big fan of the Zaporozhia - a fine example of heterosexual natural selection!

"You would benefit from a little education."

Genetics: Sperm + Ovum = Baby

There is no evolutionary viability to semen in a man's rectum. None. Zip. Zero...

The obvious discomfort expressed concerning this scientific FACT in some circles brings to mind another Shakespearean idea:

Methinks the lady doth protesteth too much.
