One of the big reasons why humans have a limited life span is that every time our DNA divides and replicates itself, the ends of the DNA get left out of the process (basically, DNA gets shorter). Eventually, there comes a point where too much has been cut away and the cell dies. It might not be the sole reason for aging, but it is a big one.
Perhaps under different laws in the former nature, that was not the case.

Hey dad, btw, what was going on between you and genez? That got ugly fast.



Arguments between Christians can get real ugly real fast. Especially when one or both is using personal interpretations of the Bible that no one else has. The moderators are not here only to keep atheists and Christians from going at each others throats.

You should see if you can find the debate between dad and Aman

I didn't pay much attention. Some people don't like it when they posit a bible that is a pathetic lying twisted joke, and I question it I guess:)

Did I say anything about the possibility of the miraculous? Don't think I did.

That fact that inanimate matter formed into living entities, spontaneously, is a miracle.

See... You believe in miracles, but just don't know it.

Life did not arise from inert matter.

Do you even know the meaning of the word "inert"?

Avoid mirrors?

That might work for you.


I am very honest and do not irritate myself at all.

You do know that there is no such thing as an educated honest creationist don't you?

Here is a simple challenge to you. See if you can participate in one debate while being honest.

Congrats...can your wife say the same?

That smacks of an insult. Don't irritate us.

You have to be a bit more specific. The "dust" of the Earth is not what life arose from.
Says you or God? Like you would know!

And the dust of the Earth may not react strongly, but it is far from inert.
Focus, I said "was not". How would you know what dust did in creation week? Take an honest look at the problem.

I do. My bad. I meant... inanimate matter.

That is a better term.

Now to be honest, the study of abiogenesis is still in the hypothetical stage. Scientists have solved some of the problems but they are quite a ways from solving all of them. Exactly how close to an answer they are I am not sure. It is still a very active area of research.

I could explain how some of the problems have been solved.

"Says" me. I have no need for mythical beings.

There was no creation. You have no evidence for such an event.

Try to ask a better question.

And that was a very dishonest quote mine.

If you had quoted the whole post your falsehood would have been obvious.

Once again dad, how about trying to argue honestly for once? You are not even fooling your fellow creationists.

Here is one simple rule:

No quote mining.

We could work out other rules before we start.
