did you see a fossil fly, Fuzz?

61: /sigh

#46 – Lluvia, seems you are mixing proper theory with religious doctrine, myth, superstition, folklore, etc. I am unaware of any respected theories on the origin of man other than evolution. No disrespect to your synagogue, church, mosque or temple. We are talking science here. And that is about what we do know – know to be true – or have true reason to believe.

#53 – It is not really relevant what Darwin believed about God. We are talking about the strength of his work. He did not explore if life was an emergent quality of matter (a different subject).

To your question; it seems to me, that it is completely reasonable to believe that life is in fact an emergent quality of matter – by design or otherwise. This is a point of cosmology, not truly evolution as Darwin disused.

"We are talking science here. And that is about what we do know – know to be true – or have true reason to believe."

exactly

#64 So what else to we have that is truly reasonable to believe (I’m looking for evidence)?

Seek and ye shall find, dear botl

OK, let's clear this up now: dinosaurs did not fly. Pterosaurs were not dinosaurs even though they were reptiles. Yeah I know, a technicality, but lets split hairs for a while if we're busting out DNA to argue about things.

63: It's a way of thinking. When talking to people who follow a religious doctrine, they only see one way and then frame every argument in that way. It just doesn't work. For example, I have no 'heroes', I follow no person or 'prophet'. There is no one 'truth', no 'gospel'. Yet, anytime I get into a discussion with someone who disagrees with me, they attempt to frame the argument within that framework.

I do have morals, I do have a sense of right and wrong, and would put them up against anyone who disagrees with me on the issues. It's just that those who think they have all the answers, don't.

I do find String Theory to be fascinating

maybe we are evolved from Strings!

Evolving strings?

Evolving string vibrations?

oooh that's more fun than a waterbag of intelligence, isn't it?

70: Your understanding of string theory is under-whelming. It's such a complicated and intricate theory I wouldn't expect most people to understand it, I don't, so I wouldn't think I was qualified to comment on it, one way or the other.

Can we hold YOU to that Fuzz? That would be great.

Are we talking about 26 dimensional bosonic string theory or 10 dimensional super-symmetry (bosonic and fermionic) string theory?

72: I have never claimed to have all the answers.

26 dimensional bosonic string theory sounds like fun, JT

Ahh ok, no particles with mass and no tachyons.

Got'cha.

Typical Lefty argument.

Santa Claus died for our sins. Three days later, he was reincarnated as a rabbit that laid pastel colored eggs. So obviously, science is hogwash. Anyone who disagrees is wrong.
