So the "exact" difference is pretty wide. But you have just discovered

the "amazing" result that the conditions on Earth are hospitable to

life on Earth. You discovered the "amazing" result that it is not true

that conditions have killed all life on Earth. Now let me explain to

you something that might actually amaze you: this argues against

g(G)od(s), not for them. Suppose there are those gods out there: they

could enable us to survive conditions inhospitable. They could allow

us to live even though the planet froze or boiled or something. That

we have natural conditions that allow life is unmiraculous.

Spark of life is a nice poetic term, it is too bad that hundreds of

years of research has not shown any such thing exists. Look up the

story of the synthesis of urea: until then people were sure that it

required life to make such things.

Find me some life that works despite the natural conditions that

prevent it.

Nor do they do any research. And look up what "Christian Science"

means. You should stop writing about things you know nothing about.

That is, they accept everything they can't run away from or deny.

What is "the" species? But are you saying that you accept common

descent?

Yes, the distance from the earth to the sun changes but as you know, the

change in distance is not enough to cause any major problems. I once read

an article indicating that life on earth would come to an end if a huge

asteroid (about the size of the moon) hit the earth and caused the earth

to be in an orbit that was vastly different than it now is. For example,

life does not exist on the planets that are nearest earth and there is not

even life on the moon.

 

There is a term that I heard or read in a ICR publication several years

ago. The term is "spark of life". It simply means that you could have all

of the materials that were needed to produce life. However, in order for

life to be created from that material (eg amino acids and other

materials), the spark of life is needed. Christians believe God was the

source of the spark of life that caused life to be produced. Of course,

evolutionists believed that natural forces were involved. I once saw a

film produced by evolutionists that showed lighting strikes hitting the

primordial soup. I doubt that they still show that stupid movie to high

school biology students.

 

The evolutionists control the peer review process. That's the reason

Christian Science Professors rarely ever waste their time writing articles

that would never be published.

 

Believe it or not, the advocates of creation science accept any aspects of

evolution that can be proven. The main area of diagreement is in relation

to how life and the species came to be on this planet.

But they are obviously wrong because God doesn't exist.

"Natural" being an adjective used to describe things which actually

exist.

I'm sure you saw much more convincing movies on creation in your

Sunday school class.

 

Seriously though, do you think that God reached down and placed a

finger in the ocean and that's where the "spark of life" came from?

Scientists will publish science. If somebody wants to publish

mythology then there are religious journals they can publish to.

And yet the question of how life originally came to be has nothing to

do with evolution.

A virus is alive. Bacteria is alive. Animals are alive. Who,

besides creationists, says life evolved from non-life? Don't forget

that the Bible says that man was created from dust. No scientist

believes that crap.

> I believe that God created the earth and created

That is a matter of faith. It must be because of faith because there

is no evidence that your good ever existed.

Please. There are billions of galaxies each with billions of stars

and no doubt several planets per star. Why would your god only create

life on Earth. We know that most planets in the universe are

incapable of supporting life.

Yes, you do.

If you type "fossils" into any search engine you would find evidence

supporting evolution. I would encourage anyone to do this and see

that you are a liar.

Von Daniken took every little oddity he could dig up and bent, fold,

spindled and mutilated it into some kind of support for his "theory."

 

This is NOT how science is done.

Life came from non-life. How? I don't know. Neither do you. But the

fact is that we KNOW from observation that the universe was once so

hostile to life that it could not have existed. We also know that the

earth was once similarly hostile to life. So we can conclude deductively

that life has a beginning, both in the universe at large and on the

earth.

When was this? 1759? It was certainly prior to Louis Pasteur, who

showed that these flies come from eggs laid in the meat which hatch into

maggots that eat the meat and then turn into flies.

Actually a number of biochemists around the world are very busy trying to

figure it out. Right now the problem is that there are way too many

hypotheses and not enough sorting of them to come to any hard conclusion

yet.

Hmmmph! It can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that chimps and humans

share a common genetic ancestor. Do you accept that?

 

Or is the only thing you accept a pack of lies about evolution told by a

devotee of the father of lies disguised as a Christian?

It's all bunk. Ancient records from Sumer and China make no record of

people coming from the stars. Instead they make it quite clear that

most, if not all, of their gods were based on real people, mostly

kings, queens, emperors and generals, who came to be diefied late in

life and after death. There's no evidence -zero- of a race of

superbeings coming from the stars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

No, they don't accept common descent. I meant that God created Adam, Eve,

lots of plants and lots of animals. They believe those creatures on that

famous chart that starts with a creature that looks like a monkey and ends

with a modern man are NOT the way it happened. Some of those creatures are

monkeys or apes. The others (eg Neanderthal Man) were humans that had bone

diseases such as rickets. I actually saw a story in the newspaper several

days ago indicating that scientists had found proof that Cro-Magnons and

Neaderthals mated and produced children. That story did not shock me but I

bet it shocked lots of evolutionists. I read one story in a ICR

publication indicating that the artist that drew that famous chart should

have covered the monkeys and apes with lots of hair so they would have

resembled modern day great apes and monkeys. That artist should have left

body hair off of the Neanderthal. The artist was an evolutionist or was

taking orders from a evolutionist. The end goal of the chart was to

convince people and young students that common descent made perfect sense.

 

If your theories were true, that means that life should have evolved on

the moon and on Mars. Perhaps our well equipped astranauts could live on

the Moon or on Mars but it would be impossible for mass numbers of people

to live on the moon or on mars. Many Christians believe that God was

responsible for making sure the Earth was the perfect distance from the

sun and that the orbit would not cause any great harm to the people or

life forms on earth.

There is only a few things that raises the ire of people as

One can always depend on vituperative from Charles and Mambo Duckman.

 

Nothing else though.

 

Just verbal crap.

That's not true. Christopher Lee is an idiotic bigot who in no way

represents atheists as a whole. The vast majority of posters on

alt.atheism are currently making genuine efforts to get through to

people, to educate them. And this is the thanks we get?!

There is no such thing as an "evolutionist". That is a dishonest

fabrication by creationists to pretend that reality is an -ism in

competition with their own.

The thread has nothing to do with atheism. It was in-your-face, stupid

and rude.

 

It takes a brainwashed moron to imagine evolution has anything to do

with atheism or vice versa.

 

If it belonged anywhere it was in talk.origins where non-fundy

believers who work in or study that area, would educate him and he

might listen.

 

The fact that he didn't post it there speaks volumes.

>Lee isn't the _only_ one. Check the responses for yourself.

 

You and Phipps are both lying through your teeth.

 

When you do that it gets just as personal as when the in-your-face

theists do it.

 

I am hardly bigoted - I just don't put up with question-begging

stupidity, believers lecturing us what our POV "really" is, etc.

 

Which includes believers rudely and stupidly talking at us as though

their beliefs reflected reality. Which demonstrates that they aren't

interested in communication but they're going to do it anyway.

 

Because that would have to be from common shared understanding, about

something we are both interested in.

 

We're not interested in what their religious beliefs are. If we were

we'd go to the newsgroups where those are the subject.

 

And all we've got in common is that they believe something we don't.

 

I am in alt.atheism to discuss atheist issues with other theists.

 

But this is rendered impossible by the noise from believers who can't

live and let live.

OK, so we're fed up with clueless idiots who insist on telling us why

they're right and 99% of the scientists in the world are wrong. <G>

 

But seriously, having a degree doesn't make you a scientist. Doing

science does. That small percentage who've sold themselves to some

bogus "cause" or other have, in my opinion, given up the right to be

called scientists.

Evolution isn't a religion, Haskell. It's an observed, documented

fact. Evolution happens, and all the denial creationists can muster

won't change that.

 

Now, if you want to debate the validity of the theory that explains

the mechanisms behind the fact, that's fine. We'll be happy to

accomodate you. But you'd better know what you're talking about before

you try.

When you see the same old, tired, thoroughly refuted "argument" tossed

out for the thousandth time, it's pretty hard to be patient.

Especially the "thermodynamics argument", which has been refuted so

often and so completely that even the most clueless creationist should

know better than to try it again.

 

When people don't make even a token effort to check their facts before

they spout off, screw patience.

Then creationists don't accept the parts of evolution that can be

"proven". Common Descent is as well supported a grand fact as exists

in science.

Lots but not all?

So creationists actually reject evolution. The claim that they accept

some of it is a dishonest bit of propaganda. What is your reason and

evidence for rejecting common descent?

>Some of those creatures are

>monkeys or apes. The others (eg Neanderthal Man) were humans that had bone

The idea that Neanderthal had rickets was nonsense from the beginning

and has been nonsense ever since. Neanderthal bones are thicker and

stronger than modern human bones, they look like the opposite of

rickets. You have been deceived.

You would lose the bet. And this does not refute common descent at

all. In fact this is what we expect from an understanding of

evolution. You might also try to understand that there are lots of

organisms on Earth that are not humans.

Biologists do not use the "famous chart" as evidence. There are tens

of thousands, hundreds of thousand even, fossils that support common

descent. There are multiple line evidence, not just fossils but

comparative anatomy, comparative genetics, biogeographics, that

support common descent.

Again, evolution does not mean the origin of life. And there is

nothing in evolution theory that says that there should be life on the

Moon.

Again you point out that God has not been able to allow humans to live

where it is inhospitable to life, only where natural conditions allow

life.

Kindly provide evidence that any "God" actually exists . Go ahead.

I'll wait.

Now, show that he didn't do it using evolution.

 

Science doesn't say god exists, or doesn't exist. It

merely looks at the universe in terms of evidence.

We've got evidence for evolution, we've got none

either way on whether or not a supernatural being

imperceptibly affected the process to come up with

humans. He might have, he might not have, but that's

not a question that's going to be answered with science.
