Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Remarks like this are a dime a dozen.It is flawed from its initial assumptions.
Any child can cut and paste from the internet... no need to get nasty, buddy.Remarks like this are a dime a dozen.
Any child can make it.
Just link me back to your opinion, and if it makes sense and I don't detect any technobabble subterfuge, I might respond.Do I need to repeat myself?

I'll admit that here, the author of the article uses the word "impossible," whereas I use the word "improbable."
But the point is, it appears to be a matter of he-said/she-said.
I say it's improbable, others says it's improbable, others says it's impossible, some say it's a flawed premise -- pick one and go with it.

Aren't the first lifeforms speculated to be self-replicating RNA molecules? Not nearly anything as complex as even the simplest cell alive today.
The trick is this though:The RNA World hypothesis is probably the most popular hypothesis in the field of abiogenesis research right now. As one of my previous posts discussed, you can get functioning RNA enzymes from random sequences. These RNA enzymes fill the role played by proteins in modern cells. In fact, some of the catalysts for basic genetic machinery is RNA based, such as ribozymes. These are RNA enzymes that are only stabilized by proteins, and they are responsible for making proteins from mRNA. From a certain point of view, we still live in an RNA dominant world.
The trick is this though:
- How long from the Big Bang to the first RNA enzyme?
[*]How long from the first RNA enzyme to man?
If it was 3.8 billion years ago, that's only 11,983,680,000,000,000 seconds.
Mother Nature must have been on steroids, eh?
It's your challenge, Sarah, not mine.
Gitter done!
I'll pass -- thanks.-_- by that logic, every time you issue a challenge such as the one in this thread, you would literally have to go out and do the action yourself. I issued the challenge for you to do, and ironically, I don't have a deck of cards on me.
So unless you feel up to bailing on a really easy challenge (which is more meaningful if you do it yourself anyways), it still stands.
I'll pass -- thanks.
This is pretty funny. I've read about half the posts so far. The "pro-abiogenesis" folks are fiddling with trying to come up with conditional probabilities while Rome is burning.
I don't understand your analogy. Could you make it a bit more clear.This is pretty funny. I've read about half the posts so far. The "pro-abiogenesis" folks are fiddling with trying to come up with conditional probabilities while Rome is burning.
Have you not heard of the expression, "Fiddling while Rome burns"?
Yes. However, I don't understand how that analogy applies to the discussion we are having here.Have you not heard of the expression, "Fiddling while Rome burns"?
