My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge: Hosea 4:6.

This is the official ping list for Depths of Pentecost: I’m a Christian blogger who writes weekly Bible lessons. Topics range from Bible studies, apologetics, theology, history, and occasionally current events. Every now and then I upload sermons or classes onto YouTube.

Let me know if you’d like to added to the Depths of Pentecost ping list. New posts are up every Saturday, videos every Wednesday.

I like the old joke about a group of scientists telling God they can make a better man than He did. God says, “You’re on”. One of the scientists tells another, “Go get a bucket of dirt.” God says, “No, no. Make your own dirt.”

Best book I've read on the origin of life... and very scientifically based

“proteins are required to make ribosome machines”

No.

Peptidyl transferase activity is in the ribosomal RNA.

Ribosomal proteins are not necessary.

Inanimate matter is weird, wild stuff in its own right.

Thanks for posting this.

It's a really excellent summary of the development of cells and complex life forms.

I am not a religious person, but I do love great mystery stories, and the origin of life is certainly one of them.

Just in the last few years, laser light flash speeds and nano-cameras have reached a point where many basic molecular processes can be photographed in real time.

Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to use those photographic processes in organic chemistry because the process usually kills the cell or the molecule they are trying to study.

"...atheists and theists alike tend to assume that if there’s a natural explanation, God didn’t do it, relegating God to merely supernatural acts.
This is wrong.
All natural laws have a divine source, so anything that happens through scientifically explainable causes is still part of His creation plan.
So if life does have a supernatural origin, great; and if it came into existence through some still-undiscovered natural phenomena, great; there is still a God either way."

That is a key point that many, if not most, cannot quite get their minds around.

Semiotics requires mind.

No gap there.
