the non-physical part of man gives everyone knowledge of God since they are made in His image.



'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

Sadly first contact is going to be like that... They will be screaming demons because well they have the one track mind of humans being the only living sentient beings out there.

This takes neither planning nor a fancy membrane. Gratz on this thread though, you've managed to erect a colossal monument to ignorance. I hope you never let it die.

but back to the original statement: that the cell and the cell membrane couldn't have evolved separately since the cell would need protection, and the cell membrane would serve no purpose without the cell, and would need the cell for it's construction. No one on this board could show science (which I know everyone on this board is so extremely infatuated with) could present how this is possible without preplanning. duel simultaneous evolution, really? so after this duet, the cell finds an opening the cell membrane, closes the opening and says we're 'good to go'.

not germane to the subject. gee, we got videos - put a sentence together- but if the best you do, we'll leave there.

You are either not reading posts and links or you are just being stubborn and obtuse for the hell of it.

It has already been established that we can simulate early earth conditions in a laboratory and produce membranes, amino acids, RNA and anything else necessary to begin life and evolution.

It is somewhat difficult to compress billions of years into a couple, so it may be a while before we can create any major life forms. It is debatable whether or not we have yet created life. A virus, if I recall correctly.

Just because we have not done it, does not mean we cannot. 100 years ago, there was no way in hell we would ever get to the moon.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

So, you ask for the science, get it, then refuse to look at it, but somehow still know that it isn't germane to the topic at hand, despite not having looked at what was presented to you at all?

wonderful. now, what about the cell membrane and cell evolving at same time but each dependent upon the other?

RE: Abiogenesis is impossible
Current cells are dependent upon current membranes. That you think this must have always have been the case just goes to show you haven't taken the time to educate yourself on the subject you feel qualified to opine upon. I have no qualms stating, upfront, that I am no biologist. If you were even nearly as knowledgeable as you clearly imagine yourself to be..then why should -I- (or anyone) have to or be capable of educating -you- on some basic shit? You need to reassess, and it shouldn't take any specialized knowledge for you to come to that realization yourself.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
