    Wow! So many insults and now guess what, I have to be nice any way, despite lies

    Yep. My special community service for the day. Gonna reward myself with an early bed time.

    Wow! So many insults and now guess what, I have to be nice any way, despite lies

    Wow... Things sure are looking up in here... Creationist starts thread rambling on about nonsense, and doesn't bother coming back. Then another creationist pops in with the comical headline "SCIENCE CAN TAKE A HIKE". Haha what? All I can picture in my head is what may be the possible...

    Can omnipotence coexist with free will?

    If a being can be omniscient, then what we perceive as choice is the product of determinism. You can't create a system with such capabilities based purely on in-determinism anyways though, so that much is a given. If a being can be omnipotent, then all the choices you have made may have been...

    All Creatures Were Peaceful?

    In the beginning, from what I understand, all of God's creations were peaceful and just ate fruit. Once Adam and Eve were banished from the garden everything changed. How exactly did this work out? Did Lions start out with huge sharp teeth and claws with a mane to protect themselves from...

    What is LIFE? Is it special?

    It's the information on the DNA that is important and information can be put on a lot of different mediums, including different organic mediums. Another viable technology is spintronics (quantum computing). If DNA was thought of as such, then yes. But it would seem strange to confirm one...

    What is LIFE? Is it special?

    I never said it was a more important way to view life. Definitely. It goes further than that though, cells also kill each other and themselves to maintain the health of all the cells as a whole. Here is some info I've picked out that elaborates on it...

    What is LIFE? Is it special?

    That's a good one. The structure of living things tends to break down and so it has to continuously reconstruct parts of itself. Our cells, even our bones, are being replaced by new material because they wear out. An electron doesn't really self-propel though, self-propulsion is when something...

    What is LIFE? Is it special?

    Interesting. I never thought about that.

    What is LIFE? Is it special?

    Im asking what life is, not what is non-life is. Non-life is simply not life, as you have pointed out in your own way. That is analogous to saying that something is X only if it can cease being X. You can't define death until you define life. So it doesn't make sense to define life by using...

    What is LIFE? Is it special?

    Yes, I know, minimum requirements sounds more like something you would read on a video game package. But to be labled anything, such as alive or cognizant, you have to have something or lack something. Think of free will for instance, you have to at least be able to make a decision to have free...

    What is LIFE? Is it special?

    As a Christian, what do you believe the minimum requirements of life is? Im not sure if there is a hard definition for life from the viewpoint of science, but in general, it seems that the belief is that life is just a system that can self-replicate sexually or asexually. Others, who don't...

    Fish and aquatic mammals

    Sometimes scientists say that the universe looks designed, or that space looks uniform and smooth, or that the Earth appears to be standing still and so on, but then point out that upon closer inspection, thing start looking different. This is something that is repeated very very often...

    Yet more questions for YECs

    I watched a show that talked about a local flood. Someone theorized that the ocean was kept out of the area now known as the "Black Sea" by some mountains which eventually gave way to the water. The water broke thru the mountains and flood the land infront of it, which created the Black Sea...

    The Time of Judgement

    When someone dies, it seems like their family and friends usually assume that they are in Heaven (never Hell of course). But in Revelations, the dead are resurrected so that they can be judged. Do people just wait for the rapture in their graves until they're resurrected and judged?
