  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

DNA Translation Catch-22

Actually, I think a better question would be to AIG.

"Why do they think a quote that states that there is not enough data to make a conclusion supports their making a conclusion?"

They try to make it sound as if Joyce is saying that the data supports their conclusion but the context of the quote makes it clear that he is stating that there is not enough evidence (at that point 15 years ago) to make a solid conclusion.

Of course, a lot has changed in the last 15 years around RNA research. I think it is a bad choice that AIG STILL uses that quote to try to persuade their audience.

It would be interesting if AIG would use some newer quotes (and newer papers) from Joyce to try to continue to support their position.

Maybe you should ask them about it?
