I don't agree with that - I don't think the support their theory by attacking evolution theory. And the last I checked, evolution was just that ... a theory!

Good gawd man! WTF is wrong with you?! Take ONE science class, and ONE bio class, and then READ this *effing* thread. Are you mildly retarded or just stupid?

I can guarantee you that I've taking far more science, biology, physics, mathematic courses than you My thought? All life on this planet was genetically engineered by aliens.

You go right ahead and believe in your theory of evolution.

What's confusing? What happens when man (us) begins to genetically engineer and design life? Now, we have a potential problem. We have some life, according to you, evolved, without any intervention of some sort of intelligent design. Then, we have the life we've designed mixed into the pool. Man will design and create life. I have no doubt it will happen.

What I can't believe, is that all life on this planet just evolved out of nothing, without any sort of intelligent design. Unless you believe that man will be the first species to accomplish designing life.

Good for you cause it didn't. The only ones making that argument are creationists.

Shens. I want proof. Post pics of your "degrees" with "A-T-O-T" mention (preferably towards me: homercles) and i will return in same. With BA, MA, Phd proof. Enjoy your relegation to obscurity.

A simple pic with a postit mentioning me and ATOT would suffice. If you cant produce this TONIGHT its shens.

BTW, there is NO WAY IN *EFFING* HELL you have an MS in physics. Unless by physics you mean "metaphysics."

You should have spent more of your time studying biology, you seem to know little about it. There is a very good chance that life developed from simple molecules and gases, look at the experiment Stanley Miller did as a grad student over 50 years ago; that's how long we've had a good idea life evolved from simple molecules.

That's hard to believe when you can make the statement "it's just a theory."

What does physics have to do with exposure to evolutionary theory? The only "scientists" that have ever been used in defense of ID are physicists/Astrologers. There is a world of difference between Physics and Biology; and you would know that if you do indeed have a masters.
You may have a better understanding of accelerating neutrinos than many of us, but I doubt your exposure to evolutionary theory is anywhere near that of a Biology bachelor's degree holder.
ALso, I think you're just yanking everyone's chain with Your alien theory. Congrats to you, sir

Science can prove that. Now let's see what the evolutionist say. Will it be: We're not sure where the sun really was (excuse), or the sun just recently started shrinking (contradicts science) or ... ???

Show me peer review article stating the sun was too hot to sustain organic chemicals

LOL

You're trying to prove your point and you can't. Life can only live in certain temperatures. Probably why Venus has no life on it.

But you can't prove me wrong... cause life couldn't have been around then. Check your math on the sun's rate of decline and estimate the temp of the Earth.

Hot!! hehehe Game, set, and match.

I don't know who told you the sun is cooling, but that's incorrect. The sun was actually dimmer in the past, making the earth a few deg c colder on average.

Not at all. A former roommate of mine has a PhD in physics. He couldn't tell evolutionary theory from a hole in his ass (he also wasn't an idiot about it; just not exposed to it just like every other physicist on the planet)

I've also chatted up one of the physicists that works with the humongo accelerator out at University of Chicago. I have a piddly little BS, a few years research experience and only one first-author paper; but he was clueless when I went into genomics and proteomics. He could talk circles around me when it comes to quantum theory and atomic acceleration, whatever...

Those that aren't scientists don't realize how isolated each disipline is within the field. This is why ID/Creation proponents can recruit an Astrologer as their "expert" to attack evolution, and the sheep will undoubtedly lend credibility to this "expert" as one from "within the field." This guy spends his time reading about cosmic gases, not divergence...

Right, I totally understand that life could have developed from simple molecules & gases. It however doesn't prove evolutionary theory in my book - maybe it does for others. Your call.

Aren't we already manipulating genes in vegetables to make them more colorful or something like that? Suppose the whole planet died today, and some alien started doing research on it. Are they going to say that the vegetable evolved to more appealing to those that want to eat it? We manipulated the genes for a purpose and I find it hard to believe that the genes of other life on this planet wasn't manipulated by some sort of intelligence to serve a purpose or design.

PS - I do have a MS in Physics and I don't need to provide proof to some of you that are probably pumping gas into my car

Your idea simply passes the buck. At some point you need to explain the development of the first designer.

You're free to adopt this point of view but what would be the point? THis would be the equivalent of an early physicist observing the way objects move in the air then saying: "God probably had something to do with it, everytime an object is moving in the air, god is making it move. The atoms in our body? God is making them spin." when you use supernatural agencies to explain why natural phenomena are the way they are, you are violating the essence of science. ID/Creationism has zero predictive value. we can not anticipate what god will do to populations, animals, plants as environments change because we obviously can not predict the actions of god any more than a plant can predict the actions of man. how boring would physics be if we explained every force, every interaction as merely god and relinquished any effort of predicting the behavior of objects?

BUT, if we use natural selection as the mechanism of evolution, we can use it to predict how populations, gene frequencies, rates of evolution, shift with changing environments. We can observe these predicted changes within populations (albeit minute changes). It is the prediction of evolution that we can explain antibiotic resistant bacteria, prevelance of sickle cell in africa, immunity to smallpox of the colonial europe population but vulnerabilty by the native americans.

^^ Quoted for truth. ID is a farce that was created to try and push religion into the public school system. It has already been exposed as a farce, anybody who treats it otherwise is just clueless.

As someone who has a BS in Biochemistry, a MS degree, and is currently pursuing further grad work in molecular bio, this thread makes for a good chuckle. When I was younger I would argue till I was blue in the face w/ people, but I eventually figured out it is worthless. The proponents for ID and Creation either don't have the exposure to the science, which is evident by them simply not understanding what a "theory" is let alone the mountains of evidence the supports it. And it is far too much for them to pick up a book on the subject. I have read Behe's book along w/ a couple of others on the subject and the science in them is laughable.

I was once talking w/ a fellow grad student (physicist i believe)on the subject, and he was a born again. He basically put this was, which I respected, he said he knew about all the evidence but that he just couldn't accpet it b/c he knew whwt it meant to the creationists. Instead he choose to ignore it, or believe it was put there to lead us on the wrong path. Hey, at least he was honest. I refuse to believe however, if there is a god, he/she/it put fossils on this planet to mislead us. You will never be able to convince the purple KoolAid drinkers out there, they are indeed brainwashed - which is mighty evident through this thread. It is their opinion, let them have it - the people who need to know do.

Exactly. There are only a few like you and I that realize the debate is meaningless. I'm weak of course, and occasionaly continue to throw my hat in; but simply debating this with crationists further lends credence to a debate that only they have created. The debate is pretty much invalid. (Creationists want to argue science based on their logic; which has no place in science. They will never understand this)

The guy who created ID basically wanted to attack science by implanting doubt in the mind of young people studying biology. That's why they started with trying to make it into high schools. If they had succeeded (thankfully they did not) they would most likely have moved onto other areas of science as well.

You can find apparent references to evolution in 13th century religious literature, and probably older ones as well. There is no essential conflict between religion and evolution or even science and religion as wholes; just narrow antagonistic points of view adopted by some adherents which lead to such conflicts.
