please present the proof EbulGery.... Have you read any of Darwin's books or do you want to accept the theory because it fits a world view?

You have opinions on a theory. science has been hijacked by a theory.
I can go to any university and get a different thesis(theory) from all the student in the
physics department. A theory must align with facts. The british Library has scanned thousands of theories that languish in obscurity.

Darwinism - ism : it's a philosophy of life. it's been refuted by science in the last twenty years, but the old guard don't like to see their bread and butter go. It supports a world view of greed. Survival of the fittest. There are vested interests in the lie.
It lets men see other humans as animals. It's a degradation of human worth.

science always revises and drops spurious theories for better ones. what fits in 1750, doesn't fit in 1850, what fits in 1850(Darwin) doesn't fit in 2016. DNA refutes Darwin. There is no junk in DNA. Looking at old bones and imagining the creature without the soft tissues is guesswork. missing transitional fossils across the board? 150 years to find them seems enough time? Lots of students digging for their professors in summer?

DOGMA isn't just in religion.

no instance of evolution happening now? Richard Dawkins admits that evolution has never been seen happening in real life. It's a magic trick that can't be seen maybe... just happens behind a curtain.

DStyle, I'm quite sure you're aware of where current research is on consciousness. Has a consensus been reached?

I'm particularly interested in whether anything can be conscious if is not self-aware. I look forward to learning what current research has to say on that and also your own personal opinion. (I've dabbled a little in AI but have yet to form an opinion on the self-awareness problem.)

DStyle - i don't believe in the christian faith because of that bit in the bible that says Jesus had a horse's tail and mushrooms for hands.

that's bizarre I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the Bible - It's a big book maybe I missed it? I tried to google it to find it? To see the context? Not there? Is this just making stuff up like Dawkins and the Chocolate pot, Leprecauns and fairies.


i saw it on a youtube video.

Ah, Zorro, you've hit on something. Science advances one funeral at a time.

"A scientist is part of what the Polish philosopher of science Ludwik Fleck called a 'thought collective': a group of people exchanging ideas in a mutually comprehensible idiom. The group, suggested Fleck, inevitably develops a mind of its own, as the individuals in it converge on a way of communicating, thinking and feeling.

This makes scientific inquiry prone to the eternal rules of human social life: deference to the charismatic, herding towards majority opinion, punishment for deviance, and intense discomfort with admitting to error. Of course, such tendencies are precisely what the scientific method was invented to correct for, and over the long run, it does a good job of it. In the long run, however, we’re all dead, quite possibly sooner than we would be if we hadn’t been following a diet based on poor advice."

ergo it must be correct.

i don't really need to read the bible to know whether that bit is actually in there or not because i saw it on the internet so IT MUST BE TRUE.

i was watching a serial killer movie with steven Segal, as usual the serial killer was a bible nut. He read out his verses from the bible in the film just before he killed his victims... I paused the film and checked the chapters and verses the serial killer quoted... they didn't exist - it was made up. Why someone would make up quotes?

Gospel of John chapter 12 verse 85
Jesus said unto the apostles, blood sacrifice must be made upon his head and cut out his lying tongue. For verily the sinner must be spanked.

Just because they say it's a quote from the bible doesn't make it a quote, check the book please. Not a youtube blogger.

but the bug that is resistant is still a bug. It adapted. it did not evolve.

domestos kills 99 percent of all germs.

I can fight off the flu - it dosn't mean I evolved. My body created anti bodies and i survived. I grew stronger. Adaption isn't evolution.

If we consider evolution to be merely selective breeding then it demonstrably exists. Ask any animal breeder. Selective breeding can be either deliberate or random.

Darwin, Wallace, et al wrote of natural selection, by which they meant some creatures that were naturally selected at random would have increased fitness (to breed) and therefore would likely have more offspring with the same traits.

It's the likelihood of producing offspring that's important, not physical fitness.

These bugs have evolved Zorro...they are far tougher to kill. That is nothing to do with your own

anti bodies.

You have a point Gallivanter.

Greyhounds do not exist naturally in the wild, neither do Huskies or lots of other breeds of dogs.
Thy have been bred by us. That is an example of evolution controlled by us, instead of nature.

Perhaps evolutionary theory as we know it is not the answer Zorro. I was taught it at school.

The problem is life as we know it now has not always existed, so where has it come from?
It cannot just spring into existence because that would contradict the physical laws of reality.
The only other explanation is that life is being created somewhere.....we have not found this.

One problem with evolution is that it takes a long time, many generations.

While not agreeing with Zorro's "it was God what done it" stance it does appear that Standard Evolutionary Theory and it's offspring is coming under pressure.

Reasoned arguments from Casey Luskin: The Top Ten Scientific Problems with Biological and Chemical Evolution. It's quite lengthy and most of it is far too technical for me but still an interesting read.

You have a point Charlie, and Zorro, perhaps we do need to look at evolution more closely.

Are we sure what is going on is going on.

there's all manner of creatures on the earth - millions of separate species of insects, a lot to be discovered. Ones that live in the water, some that can live in water and land and some that live only on land. This transitional mythical craeture that mutates is bogus.
All mutations are subtractive - a degradation of the original creature. All geneticists will tell you that. When they find a mutation that is beneficial... like cystic fibrosis sufferer's have a resistance to another disease. nobody wants cystic fibrosis to replicate and it will not become dominant. because of resistance to malaria. It's just that the mosquito pathogen doesn't want damaged red blood cells - it's a dead end.

Chemical Evolution is Dead in the Water

Assume for a moment that there was some way to produce simple organic molecules on the early Earth. Perhaps they did form a "primordial soup," or perhaps these molecules arose near some hydrothermal vent. Either way, origin of life theorists must then explain how amino acids or other key organic molecules linked up to form long chains (polymers) like proteins (or RNA).

Chemically speaking, however, the last place you'd want to link amino acids into chains would be a vast water-based environment like the "primordial soup" or underwater near a hydrothermal vent. As the National Academy of Sciences acknowledges, "Two amino acids do not spontaneously join in water. Rather, the opposite reaction is thermodynamically favored."14 In other words, water breaks protein chains back down into amino acids (or other constituents), making it very difficult to produce proteins (or other polymers) in the primordial soup.

Materialists lack good explanations for these first, simple steps which are necessary to the origin-of-life. Chemical evolution is literally dead in the water.

except they don't.

that's the whole point.

haven't you got it yet.

they make stuff up that isn't true, or is outdated, or misrepresent it and pass it of as the current boundary of research, or the impediments.

WHEN IT JUST ISN'T. didn't you get the point i was making earlier.

firstly the area of interest isn't peptide bond formation. it's glycosidic linkage or phosphodiester linkage.

there are good explanations backed up by research. in fact nucleotides spontaneoulsy polymerise in frozen water. Montmorillonite also catalyses nucleotide polymerisation.

Facts - isn't science about facts... I forget, because whenever I watch Horizon they use a lot of 'IF' 'Maybe' ' perhaps' and lots of theories that drift in and out of favour.
