You think they are made from slime?
How's the hunt for the garden going?
You can just say I dont know.
Then I would say Protoplasm.
then I would ask if you seen Ghost busters? Then ask do you remember 'SLIMMER" If yes, I'd ask if you remember what was he supposed to be made of?
Then when you think I've gone off an committed some terriable error of logic, and have sinned against science by referencing a movie. I pop you with reference material that says protoplasm is basically slime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoplasm
thus justifying the movie quote and my orginal assertion. "That all life evolved from slime" underscoring the fact that I indeed know what I am talking about even though I did not package what I know in a format you have been trained to look for. Which should get you to think about who really knows more about what you believe.

It's about assimilating the evolutionary account to fit Creation. Which I think you finally see, which is why your moving to dismiss me by introducing non essential discussion parameters into our discourse.I am interested in discussing whether or not your idea works in the framework of available evidence. If you aren't, OK. It would have been an interesting thought exercise. I wish you would see that I'm doing the opposite of dismissing you- I'm taking it seriously enough to look at from a scientific perspective.
Quote:Hey, look I do not fault you here if I were in your shoes I would be looking for an easy way out myself. what easier way out of a discussion with a man of faith than to try and make him put his faith aside at the start of the conversation.I don't care what you believe, and I'm not asking you to put aside your faith. I'm asking you to examine your idea scientifically, because it's a claim about how things have happened in the natural world. Your sneering isn't necessary- you can just say you don't wish to have that conversation, and then you can argue Scripture with someone else.
Quote:If and when you are feeling froggy again or can find that same zeal that you first started our conversation with (You know when you thought my theory was full of holes, that you could easily expose)We haven't had the conversation because you keep refusing to have it, so I don't know if you can reconcile it with scientific evidence or not. I haven't heard your arguments. It seemed at the beginning as if you wished to examine it scientifically, but you keep sliding away from that.
Quote: feel free to come back and re-express the 'genuine intrest' you told me about, that has seemingly since disipated.Your sneering tone aside, I still find it genuinely interesting and would enjoy discussing it in light of scientific evidence. I actually think you could make a stab at it if you tried.
Good!
You have an understanding of my core belief here so let proceed. any other questions?
