divvy1400yam600 ::: Favorites The prof says that the "complexity argument" cannot be tested. Mathematical assessments have been made on the likelyhood of life supporting molecules containing amino acids arising by chance. Highly optomistic mutation rates were used. Conlusion: naaagh didnt happen by chance mate, time available too short for such complexity lol 07-09-23 04:28:19 __________________________________________________ | |
DaKeCtHuPmAn ::: Favorites people arguing for abiogenisis use evolutionary biology to explain events that occured after abiogenisis. So from an argumentative point of view they are linked 07-09-14 15:29:51 __________________________________________________ | |
AndromedasWake ::: Favorites To elaborate on Impaler1815's reply, to state that a flaw in evolutionary theory suggests that creationism is equally likely to be correct is to use a false dichotomy. This immediately makes your argument invalid. 07-09-14 14:50:01 __________________________________________________ | |
AndromedasWake ::: Favorites Furthermore, Evolutionary Biology is not accountable shortcomings in Abiogenisis research. They are two different feilds. If you believe they are intimately linked, I encourage you to read and understand the Philosophy of Science. You can find this by searching Wikipedia. 07-09-14 14:47:31 __________________________________________________ | |
AndromedasWake ::: Favorites Porno4God. You are right on the money. Why is a troublesome question. Most unfalsifiable hypothesis originate from 'Why' questions. To ask "How are we here?" is scientific. To ask "Why are we here?" is not useful. 07-09-14 14:44:49 __________________________________________________ | |
AndromedasWake ::: Favorites Antiparticles have real, positive mass. Though it is perhaps slighlty counter-intuitive from a 3-Dimensional frame of reference, the best way to imagine an antiparticle is to understand that it is travelling backwards in time. Physicist Richard Feynmann did a great deal of work on this subject, and Feynmann diagrams demonstrate it best. Hope this helps, and that you can find some suitable reading on it! 07-09-14 14:41:31 __________________________________________________ | |
Erech01 ::: Favorites good point (as always(:) non the less however you put it its still away of controlling humans its still a form of megalomania (deluding ppl of a greater power) and mind control, as u can tell have a vry negative view on religon:P but imo t has alot of evil 2explain for, even the war in iraq now:/sign of 'ethnic cleansing' from both sides:/ other species dnt make up gods so why did we thts wht wrries me:P 07-09-10 17:33:48 __________________________________________________ | |
LeprechaunEater ::: Favorites I don't think that's how god/religion formed. I believe that anthologists say that because early humans couldn't explain the world around them and natural events, they put a human face on things. Such as the sun, water, thunder then that led to war, love, sex. Religion formed to keep people in line and gain power. I always ask theists were the idea of god(s) came from, and I never get an answer. It's clear to me that we humans made god up. 07-09-10 17:29:05 __________________________________________________ | |
Erech01 ::: Favorites tht is a gd point:) ppl couldnt explain how thngs happened and the iignorrant few couldnt accept they ddnt knw so they created religion and a god or gods 2 hide theyre ignorance many beleif systems of 1 or more gods exsist throughout even the earliest civillisations:P 07-09-09 16:58:54 __________________________________________________ | |
Erech01 ::: Favorites remember bacteria has bn found in rock also:P rock is jst motlen lava cooled down, isnt it another theory tht billions of years ago tht the earth was totally volcanic, and volcanic activity has decreased over the billions of years?? doesnt this explain why the gaps between the age of rocks keeps gettin bigger?? thnk about it:P 07-09-09 16:55:52 __________________________________________________ |
