The first law of physics dictates that our universe should not exist... Where did all this matter come... no answer other than it just was...

Non believers have faith... just not in a creator....

I enjoy asking the questions that since living things are 80%-90% water, then how did water evolve?

Chiefly it ignores the odds beating tendency of generations in natural selection that gets us to the current complexity of life.

Heck; I want to KNOW them; not IGNORE them!

Where are they listed??

Yep, the multiverse. The new theory that anything is possible in trillions of parallel universes... No proof of course... Just faith it is true.

Which is more likely, a creator existing outside our realm... or... the multiverse springing from nothing?

Supposing that Evolution DOES happen.

How can one then ignore the FACT that DEvolution must ALSO happen?

Evolution says one tiny little change is somehow advantageous to a lifeform and it is retained, showing up in later generations.

Then; logically, there MUST be innumerable little doodads and hickeys attached to creatures today that will NOT make it to the next generation.

Where are they??

If Evolutionists REALLY believed; then WHY do they go to DOCTORS at the same rate as Creationists? Shouldn't they WELCOME being a Guinea pig for CHANCE?

What happens to T as E approaches infinity?

I'm glad you asked that question!

Hold this thought.

Life will give you a test latter.

The statement says infinity is not an option.

“You have information in a symbolic representation and a reading frame code. But beyond this, a formalization of semantic closure would need to be in place prior to the first cell.”

Reading frame code is clear, but the rest if it...?

But could you say the other parts in English. Eg what is “formalization of semantic closure”?

For those who choose faith over reason, science and rationality....

Those who choose Faith acknowledge that not EVERYTHING can be reasoned, reproduced, or rationalized.

Wouldn’t that be more actually described as a Skreech?

12 Owls would be a Hoot.

So organisms that reproduce asexually aren’t part of a species!

Which evolved first?

The penis or the vagina?

Or...
...both at the same time?

Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller fleas to bite ‘em.
And so proceeds Ad infinitum.”

Good point. I always say ‘why did it stop?’ re evolution. If humans evolved from apes why are there still apes?And,lastly,if the Big Bang theory is true WHAT went bang and where was it if there was nothing before it?

I would avoid the “If humans evolved from apes why are there still apes?”, It’s not a argument you can win.

As for your other points?

Take a few minutes, 92 minutes, and start with this.

Where did all this matter come...
no answer other than it just was...

Not quite.


I was quite the Evolutionist at the great age of 18.

High school graduate, going to tech school in the Air Force, ready to tackle the World!

I knew the Einstein equation: E=mc2.

I'd heard all about the Big Bang in school.

I wuz SMART!!

But I wasn't prepared for the question put to me one crisp fall evening in Denver; so many years ago...


It was a dark and (no; not that one) starry night that midnight hour I was walking back to Lowry after leaving my girlfriends home.

We'd watched the Miracle of Lourdes on latenight tv. Now she was a Catholic girl and LOVED the movie, while I was an agnostic who silently thought, "Hooey!"


But I couldn't put the thoughts out of my mind as I returned to base. My 'great learning' was getting tested and failing. When I finally thought (or said!) something like, "Well; what about the BB theory and E=mc2 and all that??

POOF!

And the Universe appeared!

(I knew the equation could be rewritten as m=E/c2 )


So the the Question came:

Where did the Energy come from?

(HE didn't even ask me, "Where did the LIGHT come from?")

Let there be LIGHT!

And Light was.

“Just how MANY times did this occur before the created Life decided, “This dyin’ is getting mighty old. I’m gonna try for REPRODUCTION next time around.””

I see your point, but ...

I’d say it’s not life if it’s not reproducing.
