Things don't appear on their own. (Science) Things don't happen without a reason.(Science)
Unless you can explain why life has occurred? (Science?)
From Darwin's travels?
Abiogenesis if it happened would just be chemistry, nothing on it's own, unless you count all chemicle reactions as just happening on their own. Abiogenesis would simply be chemicles in the right place/right time coming together. No more a miracle then every time hydrogen and oxygen becoming water a miracle.
If you ever attend a church for a time, you'll see that they are as independently opinionated as all your own associates.Cool, we agree! But it looks like your fellow super-Christian Mark doesn't... Oh dear...
No, that is not how scientific laws work. Scientific laws are descriptive, not proscriptive and many "laws" are not discovered yet. But they still exist. You made a bunch of nonsense claims that you simply cannot support.I wasn't suggesting that chemistry is a supernatural miracle. I'm saying it's impossible.
Also, that there are no natural laws that promote life. We'd call them "The laws of Life" if there were any. None exist. Given it's been the focus of science since science was invented, given that there is plenty of data and examples to work with and examine, the void of Life Laws is stunning. Science proves that Life is not a natural event. There is not even a good scientific excuse for life to exist. Not even now.

What is your definition of "scientific consensus"?But wicked men will certainly try to create a scientific consensus to forward their schemes.
How so? Please explain.Vaccines, climate science and all have the highest potential for fraud theft and control.
Hi there is a documentary called the report from Iron Mountain or perhaps the Iron Mountain report which was made in the early 80's based on a 1960's summit that came together to strategize a plan of how to implement a global government....the weather and environment...rationalize a global government...climate models over long periods of time show ice ages... shifts in global weather...coming global agenda...45 goals of teh communist party...World Economic Forum and teh UN...The reset is coming and it is predicted in the Bible...LGTBQ agenda which is completely contradictory to science... chemtrailing ...chemtrails can be used as weapons systems and climate control....
AH, another 'jargon' monger. I am suspicious of people that see 'tyranny' and 'control' around every corner.Your problem. I don’t have it or own it.
I refuse the official narrative and it’s fait accompli, vaccine passports. Everyone spouting the same, though constantly shifting, jargon in service of this only strengthens my suspicion of their motives.
A treatment for one thing does not necessarily = a treatment for another thing. I often hear these claims like 'why is there no cure for cancer??' - because there is no such thing as "cancer" - there are a LOT of things that we call cancer and what might work on one type of cancer will not always work on other types. That it, that is an ignorance-based question asked by people that should not be asking such questions.You haven't responded to 'why ignore treatments that work?'.
All hypotheses?... I understand that the conclusion of a scientific hypothesis cannot be valid unless the results are consistent throughout numerous trials that can be reproduced in different labs, assuming the same conditions are met.
EXACTLY.You may work in a 'science and technology institute' but I suspect it's not as a scientist....
To be tested, a hypothesis/theory needs to be falsifiable. This can be done based in the field, through a telescope, from space, underwater or at home with a good calculator. Repeatability doesn't mean you must repeat the event.
I remember that! I especially liked it when the admins there, in a blatant attempt to shield Sarfati, changed their forum rules from 'no name calling' to 'no name calling without sufficient justification' and by golly, they always accepted Sarfati's justification... but nobody else's, until, as you indicate, he started attacking other Christians for not being as Christian-y as he was...The Sarfati who appears in your o/p was once a member on this other, conservative Christian-run site, which is unquestionably far more liberal than CF in allowing flames and insults, until he was kicked off because of his inability to engage in anything approaching civil behavior, even with his fellow Christians when they disagree with him. By that standard, he is, objectively, obnoxious.

Ironically, this is what the Christian nationalists do not realize - if they get their wishes, they could end up on the 'wrong kind of Christian' list sooner than they think.
A conspiracy of wicked men?What is your definition of "scientific consensus"? How so? Please explain.
There's not a single place on Earth that has not been chemically changed by human activities. On earth there no longer exist any pristine state.Climate change, maybe.
We've soil degradation, microplastics, pollution
of a million kinds, loss of habitat/ biodiversity
acidification of the oceans.
Don't be too sure of your predictions unless it's

Thanks Estrid and dlamberth. perfect end to the day. was there for 5/8/77There's not a single place on Earth that has not been chemically changed by human activities. On earth there no longer exist any pristine state.

No, never tassman.Relevant to the o/p (tassman? ... this is taoist/lao tzu/Juvenal now)
Lots of things advance scientific and intellectual pursuits., Creationism may be a gateway drug to climate denial and anti-vaxxing, but it dead centers the Ken Millers and Francis Collinses and sundry otherwise conservative Christians they should instead be celebrating and using as archetypes of how Christianity advances scientific and intellectual pursuits.
I did not, that is too bad.Did you know Glenn Morton died last year?
My point is that, in scientific practices, you don't really need to know how an object came to be (i.e. its history) to know how it works and use it for various purposes (i.e. its operation). A scientist looking to test the reactivity of elements based on its periodic grouping doesn't have to know how the periodic table is developed, and one's beliefs on the origins of the universe has no bearings on how well they can, say, prepare standard solutions to quantify analytes in a sample.
