I did!!!
This topic is locked from further discussion.
My original argument was about whether or not something can come from nothing. I provided you with evidence to suggest that some cosmologists believe that something can in fact come from nothing. I also showed you that there is no empirical basis for the claim that something cannot come from nothing. I'm not really interested in talking about whether or not the earth was created for a purpose, it's irrelevent to what we were orginally discussing.Decessus
It still doesn't make sense that something, even if it's the universe, would come from nothing, no source, whatsoever.
[QUOTE="Decessus"][QUOTE="Revinh"][QUOTE="Decessus"]No, considering how much cell replication happens. It's remarkably accurate. There might be alterations but they still replicate the way they should.Revinh
Feel free to look at the numbers yourself here. As it states, the average human zygote has about 64 mutations.
And yet, like I said in the other thread, even though it may not be perfect, "pigs remain pigs and oak trees remain oak trees generation after generations." And the change (which is the point) goes toward degeneration.
Speciation has been observed in both nature and in the laboratory, so you're incorrect. Given enough time and the right environment a pig will not remain a pig and an oak tree will not remain an oak tree.
After several decades of fruit fly experiments and billions of mutations, what was the result? Fruit flies.
The other point you make, that mutations go towards degeneration I don't really understand. What do you mean by degeneration?Decessus
I mean mutations almost always has damaging effects or a form of degeneration.
A zygote is more complex than a fully grown human? tsk!
You throw in thermodymanics as if it adds something to your argument, without explaining why, or why you believe in this law.
Not really the idea, as it breaks your concept?
Its exactly the point! The point you asserted incorrectly and I have proved wrong from many angles.
I depends on how you describe the term "complex". It is possible. RationalAtheist
Ok, let's try this again: a zygote is a lot more complex than the individual cells of organs, bones and limbs.
Yeah, I threw it in...thinking you'd get the comparison :roll:
The 2nd law is that everything tends to die away in the same way that copies become poorer. You can't create something more complex than you. It's complex-to-simple. In the xerox copies example, a copy cannot be better than the previous one, it always gets worse and you literally put "complex" to mean worsening. I was giving an ANALOGY.
No arm parent gives birth to normal baby - That's a funny description of "complex." It's bodily system is the same as the parent. It's not like all the parent's ancestors didn't have limbs and it's not like there's a progression of additions of limbs.
How does it break my concept if it's not the idea? How are you proving me wrong when you're not even on the same page?
Why would you think that it's more logical for something as simple as the universe to be eternal than God, anyway? For something to be always existing obviously must be extremely complex.

second law of thermodynamics is nothing to do with complexity of anything. laws of thermodynamics describe the movement and nature of energy, specifically heat.
law number one- energy is conserved. always.
law number two- (a bit more difficult to put in dummy terms but here you are) due to entropy, you cannot make something hot using something colder than itsself
law number three- matter cannot reach absolute zero temperature.
absolutely nothing to do with evolution. nothing at all. not a thing. so stop using pretend science to back up your ridiculous claims. thanks :)

other peoples conversations? you'll get nowhere if you simply ignore things that prove you wrong, whoever says it.no wait, no you're not. oops. thats the other thread. sorry :(
point still stands though. thermodynamics is a matter of physics not biology.
thermodynamics is a matter of physics not biology
So? I never said it's not.
Revinh
so thermodynamics has no part to play in the proof or un-proof of evolution or reproduction or whatever the hell it is you're talking about. it's a set of mathematical rules that describe the movement of energy.
If you believe in the all-knowing and all-powerful, you'd accept the concept of his infinite nature (i.e. no beginning and no end).

Exactly
I'll tell you the same thing JustPlainLucas told us before.
God is a danish.
A danish someone brought in and left on the table in the office breakroom.
No one knows how it got there, no one dares to eat it.
The danish just exists.
The human mind created the idea of "god"smcg69
Exactly, God is just a concept conjured up by people who needed a greater reason for existance.
God was never created, He has been around forever. Remember, before he created the universe there was no time or space. It's confusing, but that's the best answer I can give. No one really knows.mohfrontline
Your saying that as if it's some sort of fact, it kind of annoys me by you saying "he has been around forever" because the chances are God doesn't exist, in my opinion.

IF YOU ACTUALLY READ AND FOLLOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT YOU'D LEARN I WAS GIVING A COMPARISON OR AN ANALOGY.
The human mind created the idea of "god"smcg69
thats exactly what i said above! see, im not the only one.
People who believe in God really annoy me, I'm not sure why, they just do. They just make my blood boil when they go on about God being eternal or "the creator", it's just so ridiculous.
I only have sympathy with ancientcivilszations who believe in God because they had no other explanation for things like volcanoes erupting. But now we know the the science behind such things, anyone who blames natural catastrophes on God would be called a moron. Once we know the science behind things like death (if we ever will) then no one will believe in a heaven. That's my prediction anyway...
Man created god when man couldnt figure out what caused the big bang. So by logic, The Big Bang created god.
was this thread really necessary to dig up and bump??? i think notg-unit248
Was this post necessary at all? Dont' post if you don't want to, simple.
the answer is
THAT"S NONE OF UR BUSINESS!!
all that u need to know is the universe and u were created by a creator who u should obey!
plus, ur mind can't handle it, u said it urself
just think of it as , what's before -5? -6 , and what's before all that -100000000000000000 not enough there're more numbers before it...
and where did the big bang come from?Man created god when man couldnt figure out what caused the big bang. So by logic, The Big Bang created god.

Some things are beyond our understanding. just like we can't understand that the universe goes on and on forever, we can't understand that god had no start nor that he will have no end."EVEN IF YOUR AETHEST JUST THINK OTHERWISE FOR A SEC"
m religious BUT HOW!! HOW DID THE CREATOR BECOME?there was nothing then poof =GOD?? my head is seriously hrting thinking about it?!1 arghhhhh

-Gray_Fox-
Before the big bang, it's likely there was a "big crunch" which ended the last universe. If gravity is strong enough all matter in the universe will be pulled back into another "big crunch" if not the universe will keep expanding, creating a "flat universe".
