Re: The War on Christmas!!!
1. True 2. Wrong. There is an entire branch of chemistry based on self organizing molecules. A crystal is the most obvious example. 3. This is the irruducable complexity argument. It is defeated by saying that some organelles probably had some orginal purpose and adapted to a different role over time. Mitocondria are a… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
[ QUOTE ] Just to add weight to this: I can positivly asure you that Ninjas, dfacto and KDR are pretty much right as far as I know (and I am close to my Masters degree in Molecular Biology). Basicly a few rna (or other molecules with similar properties) molecules is all it takes to start evolution [/ QUOTE ] But where does… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
Vig, I think what he's saying is that he's an atheist because he can't believe in a Higher Power that is such an asshole and is petty enough to get upset when people don't worship him daily. He cites Job as an example of God being an asshole, not as a personal basis for belief. I may not believe it happened, but I know for… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
This is what I'm getting at. There are things that are chaotic, like random noise. And things that are organized which are not random. A snow flake starts as a seed crystal, and from that, the arms self-organize into the same structure. It is an example of increasing (although momentary) order. In your support there is a… -

From dictionary.com: God 1. A: being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions. This is the primary definition. If your definition of a god is "Some dude with special powers" then I agree, Einstien, Aristotle… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
No problem, I just thought I'd bring it up. My girlfriend studys biology at the university of Bern and they learn, that there are numerous assumptions already in this part of evolution. For example the atmospherical conditions. And JKMakowka said, you need a few rna and, according to her professors, a membrane and a stable… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
Vig. Just because I'm an athiest doesn't mean I don't believe anything in the bible, and I never said anything to that effect. For example, the Christian god could be a very real evil alien overlord. Maybe he even created us. The fact is I don't know. All I know is that there is no such thing as a being with automatic… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
There is no overall "reversing entropy" ever. You do need to read more about it because I think you don't understand it on a fundimental level. Life exists on earth because of a finite amount of energy pouring from the sun. order vs. chaos and entropy are related but totally different issues. I find it absurd because I… -
Re: The War on Christmas!!!
Wow some really twisted views of religion rearing thier ugly head here. Job suffered at the hands of satan. But since you don't believe there is a God you also don't believe in the devil so it is really likely that no one named Job ever suffered. So why do you bring up examples you beleive to be false? The book of Job…
