Science keeps learning....
http://apnews.excite.com/article/2014121...53779.html Quote: WASHINGTON (AP) — The mystery of where Earth's water came from got murkier Wednesday when some astronomers essentially eliminated one of the chief suspects: comets. while religion just keeps shitting in its hat.
I'm starting to think you've got some kind of problem with religion, Min!

Have they worked out what how to make everything else to form life? Serious question.

Not yet how to create something complex, yet, but our knowledge expands weekly. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
If your question was meant to be: "Have scientists determined the exact mechanism by which the first living organism emerged?"
The answer is no, but we're learning more about it every day and maybe sometime in the future we'll find the right answer.

No, but they're close. Really lend yourself to some abiogenesis reading material, and I think you'll be surprised at how close they are.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue (December 10, 2014 at 4:46 pm)Exian Wrote: No, but they're close.

Beccs,
Really! I watched a documentary last evening about the brain where it was stated that we have gained more knowledge of it's structure and function in the last 5 years than we had in the previous 500. This gain in knowledge through science is to me one of the most exciting aspects of living in the time in which we do. And of course, one of the most salient points to those of us on the "a" side of theistic ideologies is that the "gap" within which any god might reside grows narrower and narrower very quickly now. There's another thread active right now that asks about wishes and disappointments. I think many of us here might share my wish that I could be around in 100 years or whatever amount of time it takes to finally and absolutely(?) close the remaining gaps in our knowledge of how this universe and any others were formed and how life arose here and likely many other places. All hail science! |
