Got some evidence that the parameters pre-existed the Big Bang?

You can't possibly tell me that an explosion took place without any particles now can you? Smile

You do know that the Big Bang was not actually an explosion, right?

So how have you managed to get it so wrong, then?  You just weren't paying attention?  Everyone knows this stuff....except you?

were not debating evolution so the theory of evolution is irrelevant

But why, would any of that matter?   OFC....you think that DNA is a code, written by a programmer.  It's not....if we're going to use the analogy of computers, for poetic effect, DNA is machine language.  If DNA had a different structure, it would have a different machine language.  It might have helped, before you made this comment, to know anything at all about computers or biology..and you're right..it doesn't take a masters in either.....

..so what's your excuse, Jen?

@Pool
Still pursuing ignorance for it's own sake, are we?

yes right if the DNA had a different structure it would be different . but it was created to have a certain distinct structure a certain DNA . chemicals and atoms also are made up of complex structures , you are assuming that chemistry and atoms just created themselves without intelligence . does our computers , an unthinking entity , do this write its own code decide for itself what it will be ?

Actually, self-modifying code exists. You're ignorant on many subjects aren't you.

No..we aren't debating it at all...I'm correcting you.  This has to be done, because you keep asking -the same question- of everyone.......and that question, is a misaprehension of evolutionary theory.  As regards it's relevance...you keep asking how/why living creatures got this that or the other....so......pretty damned relevant.

i know were not talking about whether evolution occured but why evolution evolved as it did , through random chance or intelligent design Smile
