@brianjakub,
PS, youre also trying to talk around the point ros had made.

@farmerman,
This is getting kinda like reading Boy's Life of 1955. Thi is 2018. Weve gone many ways out of the old "DNA controls evolution and DNA is designed crap). Significant phenotypic changes can occur in say "Island biogeographic isolation of species" or "Urban clades evolving at super speeds" or "ENtire new clades of fish appearing within a few hundred years after an isolating event" AND, many of these did NOT involve DNA changes at all. But they did involve selection for gene expression.

When all you have is a deity, all your" scientific" solutions involve lightning bolts from heaven.

I see you're peddling your usual bullshit, and once again, it's about so-called abiogenesis (learn to spell the word if you're going to posting on an English language forum), and once again, it's pure ipse dixit bullshit. Roswell has already pointed out that your statement is unfounded. Really, it's both hilarious and disgusting how you seem to think you can formulate a debate position based on bullshit word salads and statements from an authority which you do not possess.

Current models
There is no single, generally accepted model for the origin of life. Scientists have proposed several plausible hypotheses, which share some common elements. While differing in the details, these hypotheses are based on the framework laid out by Alexander Oparin (in 1924) and by J. B. S. Haldane (in 1925), who postulated the molecular or chemical evolution theory of life.[102] According to them, the first molecules constituting the earliest cells "were synthesized under natural conditions by a slow process of molecular evolution, and these molecules then organized into the first molecular system with properties with biological order".
There framework is base on hypotheses developed in 1924 and 1925. They provide no explanation of how the information was organized nor do they reveal any understanding of the underlying codes and processes that had to be established (qm, biochemistry and DNA) before life could be initiated. The origins of those processes must be explained before the origins of life can be understood because either they have a built in system that was designed to create life or they are a tool an intelligence can use to create life. It is not logical to assume that a complex system came into existence without first being an idea someone thought up. We have never witnessed that happening. (If we have provide the physical evidence)

All intelligent ideas need a system set up in the physical world for the purpose to physically represent an intelligent idea because, intelligent ideas do not appear to be physical things. If they are could you show me how atoms obtain the intelligence to create ideas.

It is logical to assume that ideas manipulate matter to store and share ideas with other individual intelligent beings. It is logical to assume that an intelligence existed before matter and arranged matter for that purpose (especially when someone stepped onto the earth named Jesus Who claimed to be the words that physically represent that intelligence so we could get to know and understand the intelligence we know as God).

Matter represents ideas it does not create ideas. All Ideas follow this sequence of development.

1. An idea is thought up.
2. In the case of man it is stored in matter in someones brain. In the case of God it can be stored in any atom in the universe.
3. In the case of man, the atoms in that brain are part of a physical system that is designed for the purpose to build a physical representation of that idea that can be shared with other minds. ( patterns stored in spheres known as atoms). In the case of God all the atoms of the universe are available for His manipulation.
4. Another intelligent mind then decodes the pattern and if it is human rather than animal it can comment on whether the Idea is good or bad.

Oparin and Haldane, now thats some really up to date ****. Haldane hadda spend part of his career backing off a silly math expansion that gunga believes in. When it was discovered that many genes (and sometimes NO genes ) are involved in several functions of one to over 50 genes. Simultaneity is the key. Also we know that changes to chromosomes can occur without changes to its DNA. We talked about this several years back when the Cold Spring Conference first introduced the concept of the "bubble wrap" that is enclosing chromosomes and is responsible for gene expression.


You are making my point. They found out that all systems (qm, relativity, bio chemistry, DNA etc. . .) are all extremely complex with unknown origins to explain their complexity. Scientists are assuming without any evidence that they will be able to explain their origins without intelligence but, they cannot replicate their origins with intelligence. Thus it appears reasonable to assume that the origination of matter and life requires an intelligence with greater capabilities than ours or we would have replicated it. (Especially since the intelligence that did design it stepped into the universe and did manipulate matter without touching it by performing healing miracles, controlling the weather, and rising from the dead in front of thousands of witnesses) See Lee Strobel.

I think this was when we first introduced the term 'epigenetics" on A2K


You understand the system very well. You are not very good at explaining how it came into existence. Plausible possibilities should be able to be replicated. Scientists use their intelligence to create complex things all the time, they do not use random word or number generators. They might use random generators with an underlying algorithm to look for certain types of data and patterns but those algorithms are intelligently derived. (Along with the hardware and software running the generator)

You cannot claim that understanding the system explains its origins and the origins of complex systems cannot be ignored. Trying to develop complex systems from random sources of information is like trying to piss up a rope.

NO thats merely an assertion based only on a belief in a supernatural cause and effect. No organic P chem is involved (and stop saying QM, thats last century's discovery, ITS ALL QM. So its like your saying" Pizza Pie".
Are you saying that understanding the origins of QM is not necessary to explain the origins of matter biochemistry and life. I suggest they all originated in the same place.

Lightning bolts from heaven must enter the universe in a very specific way to create the higgs field, matter, and life.

All you have is a Big Bang that some how was the only explosion in the history of the universe to end in extremely low entropy and the complexity and order needed to for the higgs field and matter. How can you explain the low entropy and complexity of the early universe without intelligence?

The last pope actually met the Virgin Mary but it didn't go very well.

With regards for the first posting, how can you deny evidence if there is none.
(evolution should be defined there, but he didn't, figures)

Evolution is really nothing more then the exact thing 'they' are trying to fight, belief! , Just like a religion.

Yep, evolution is nothing more then a religion. Furthermore they want "God" out of 'science'. I am not saying there is a God, I really don't know.

But 'science' reject God and such thing at the start! instead of exploring these ideas.

That's not 'science' at all of course. Well, of course it isn't because it is a, slightly disguised', religion! And a stupid one at that!

Instead of worrying about science and divinity you could spend a bit of time on basic sentence construction. That way you might be able to clearly say what issues you have with evolution.

As it is you sound a bit confused, you claim not to know whether God exists but then get very upset as the concept of scientists rejecting God. They haven't, they've just not found any evidence of divine intervention. There's a not insignificant difference.

Science doesn't "reject" god. Science only provides evidence for what can be proven. Gods are based on faith which cannot be tested or evidence provided for its existence.

Quote:
faith
/fāTH/
noun
1.
complete trust or confidence in someone or something:
"this restores one's faith in politicians"
synonyms:
trust, belief, confidence, conviction, credence, ... moreantonyms:
mistrust
2.
strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

@izzythepush,
lol, I am not upset at all. where did you get that idea?!

and yes, 'science' reject gods and such thing from the beginning.

Very clear to see.

"Even if all of the data point to an intelligent designer, such a hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic.

Todd, S. C. 1999. A view from Kansas on that evolution debate. Nature. 401 (6752): 423."


If that isn't 'scientific' bias I don't know what is!

Historically, the vast majority of scientists have been believers.

here is another one:

"Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.

It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

Read that las sentence agin:


"for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

allow?! Hmm they seem to be very very afraid to explore the issue!
