How does the virus manage to assemble this long information molecule at high pressure inside such a small package, especially when the negatively charged phosphate groups repel each other? It has a special packaging motor, more powerful than any molecular motor yet discovered, even those in muscles. Douglas Smith, an assistant professor of physics at UCSD, explained the challenge:

Good overall reading on warming as well, as it deals with peer-review bias and censorship.

Could you please pull this thread. I accidentally posted the wrong link, and I would like to start over. Thank you :o)

They could easily have shortened it to “Everything that could go wrong with peer review is theirs, and everything that can be done right is ours.”.

If you haven’t yet noticed, I posted the wrong link to the titled article.

I’ve stopped expecting the title in the thread to look like what’s on the article.

Wherever there is information there is a preceding intelligence.
"Bereshit Bara Elohim ET..." (In a beginning God(pl) created ET...)
ET in Hebrew is "Aleph - Tav." It is an acronym for the Alphabet. It is also the claimed name for the "Word." (I AM the Alpha and the Omega.)
The Hebrew scholars viewed the AlephBet as the substance of creation, without it, everything was void and without form.
This further presupposes that consciousness needs the specificity of this form to impart substance to reality, and to make sense of the reality it encounters.
It is the very nature and essence of the Divine that He should precede reality, and provide His creation - through the medium of the Word (both in person and concept) the means to comprehend His creation.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear shibumi!
To: GodGunsGuts
Once again, your”journal article” recaps a legitimate scientific article and just adds a paragraph saying since we don’t understand this, it is too complex and therefore god did it.
Why mot include the other viruses that incorporate only some of the components? That shows that it’s not irreducibly complex and is blasphemy.
