So Jesus travelled back in time 4000 years and started life, then travelled forward in time to be crucified for humanities sins?

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] I hope Mindstorm at least does not believe in the young earth idea..

As long as he says its age in years is over 9000, I'm fine :D.

btw, even when I was a hardcore young earth creationist I did not think the earth could be much younger than 10,000 years old.

Miller-Urey experiment. There are countless better articles on the subject in journals such as Nature and Science, but I douct they would be comprehended by the off-topic crowd. For the non-biologist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_urey

[QUOTE="Dutch_Mix"]Doesn't that directly conflict with the law of bio-genesis?foxhound_fox

I've only just glanced at some of the models, but since you seem to know more about this than I, what experiments show conclusively how non-living matter evolved into physical life?

Since we know that there was a beginning of lifeand that it didnt always exist, isnt it logical to believe that someone created it? I am really curious to know whether it's possible for life to have been orignated itself with all the basic structures of sex, excretion etc? Anonymous_7

We know that for sure huh? got a link? How do you know life has not always been?

[QUOTE="Anonymous_7"][QUOTE="_Ben99_"]you really don't know? instead of asking strangers on forums why don't you bother and seek answers in religionDutch_Mix

What's the alternative? Science has no answer for where life came from.

how can someone honestly ignore ALL GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE that the earth is OVER 4 BILLION YEARS OLD?!

Superbored

Have faith! Blindly believe what people tell you!

I do not know the answer, but AFAIK, life was created by a string of random events.

While it seems extremely unlikely that these events would occur at random, one must remember that Earth like planets (seems to be) rare when compared with the amount of uninhabitable spheres of rock, gas, and plasma that populate space.

One must also put into account that Earth is probably not the first planet with life, and the possibility that our scientific theories and definitions are irrelevant, and simply dont work in unseen areas of space. Afterall, Humans, and other "Living" inhabitants of Earth associate what is real with what we can pick up with any of our senses and (Mostly with Humans) any technology that enhances those senses.

i suggest everyone that is confused to either watch carl sagan's " cosmos " video series.. or take an anthropology class ASAP... ignorance is not bliss.nimatoad2000

I like reading your posts Foxfound Fox. You're one of the most articulate people on Gamespot. :)

If you see a well crafted watch, will you think that someone created it or it just happened to be created itself?Anonymous_7

I like this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp1Ke-13dTc

We would obviously know the answer to that question

[QUOTE="Anonymous_7"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] .. Life is anything but well crafted.. Rabits have to eat their own crap just to survive.. Their intestines are before their stomach, because they evolved from carnivores.. What does that mean? They have to eat their crap to gain the nutrients their stomach broke down.sSubZerOo

Also the point is that we developed through very small improvments, very small improvments over a very long timecan produce anything. Open your mind to the length of time we have had to evolve and then you may come to reason.

Well then it failed missorubly with over 6 billion of us and a max human sustainable population of 1 billion

Furthermore complexity is a matter of perspective.. They seem complex to us, due to our limited knowledge of biology.sSubZerOo

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"][QUOTE="Anonymous_7"]Who said that life is perfect? The rabbit is still a complex creation.. Look at humans, just how incredibly complex we are...I mean if you saw a watch with scraches on it and it sometimes shows the wrong time, would you suddenly think that it came into existence itself? I highly doubt so.. Wolls

We know a watch has a creator, they are called jewelers. Also, life is not well crafted... if it were, there wouldn't be disease or genetic defects.

The teleological argument is some big fail.

Vandalvideo

Well the watch will also have defects and wont function forever. :| And it could have "disease" as well, that's why there are warranties you know...Anonymous_7

Thank God this hasn't turned into a Jesus-fest yet...

There are certainly many scientific explanations to the phenomenon of life, but those that wish to follow any other must know that they do not so out of purely logical reasoning but faith. To accept an explanation which does not make the most logical sense as far as our best methods of inquiry can tell us requires either some sort of knowledge which the rest of us do not possess, or faith.
