Metal 'Snakes' Fall Far Short of Life
by Brian Thomas, M.S.*
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratories have observed nickel filings ordering into rows atop a special fluid. With precisely structured electromagnetic fields surrounding them, the snake-like rows undulated in their beakers. The magnetically-motivated metal’s meanderings appeared so lifelike that Wired Science writer Alexis Madrigal suggested the tiny nickel trains can provide “clues about how life originally organized itself.”...

Ping!
It just decided to one day.
/roll eyes
I wish my life would organize itself. I’m still waiting, tapping my foot every now and then...
;-)
Didn't we all do this experiment in junior high school? Oh my goodness, the iron filings were *alive* all along! If I'd known, I'm sure I would have had nightmares, like I did about the earthworm dissection!
...and then when it reached the zenith of complexity, it decided to stop organizing itself and enjoy some much deserved stasis :o)
Wow, NICE! If my sons saw that, they would want one! (I suppose you don’t have to feed it mice, like a real snake ...)
Must be nice to have everyone else do your work for you. You just sit back and find some way to make other people’s work prove your theories.
>Didn’t we all do this experiment in junior high school?
I didn’t... but I don’t doubt that some did.
Maybe at a movie theater with a hole in the bottom of the popcorn container...
We report, you decide :o)
When the data is this tangential, and the conclusions this speculative, the most substantial evidence is what's implied in the tactics.
How to flunk yer IQ test:
Become an evolution writer.
How do they come up with these clangers?
Creation scientists reinterpret the data that the Evos crank out in endless volumes of mostly government funded research journals. Reinterpreting the data is part of science. As such, the government funded Evos are the gift that just keeps on giving and giving and giving :o)
They have no choice. It is the product of millions of years of random mutation, plus natural selection hardwiring :o)
And in the next breath or someone else will tell me that everything they do is wrong and all their research is worthless because they’re starting from a flawed premise :).
Data is data. The proper interpretation means all the difference in the world! That’s why creation scientists are so crucial to science :o)
