I'll bet you didn't think they were loaded when you were experiencing them, did you?Loaded quesstions are “honest” now, are they?
I've heard rumors of one animal that emits electromagnetic radiation in the 700nm range.
Creation or evolution?
I don't consider arguments from incredulity to provoke thought, but rather I consider you've stopped trying to improve your understanding.
You may have more success being direct.
I know you think that, but the intention of your posts, is pretty transparent.
Picture or it didn't happen
Unfortunately for you, most of us here understand ToE, and aren’t as impressed with your incredulity as you are.
Arguments from incredulity have no traction here.
That's my point... they're not difficult to anyone who understands ToE. You only serve to muddy the waters.
Pretty good, I'd say, since life exists, and over the last 158 years we've figured out how.All I ask for is the mathematical odds of evolution ever happening.
It's not.That shouldn't be too difficult.
We may never know what those odds are. We'd have to know how large our universe is, and how many planets hospitable to life evolving exist.Haven't many scientists, among them Carl Sagan, stated that "against all odds, evolution did happen." I just want to know what those odds were.
It's moot to discuss the odds of something happening when we know it's happened once, already. In fact, using Bayesian inference of prior probabilities, there's a possible chance it's happened somewhere else in the universe.If those odds go past the realm of possibility, then there you have it.
It's hard to know what he meant without any context.Haven't many scientists, among them Carl Sagan, stated that "against all odds, evolution did happen." I just want to know what those odds were.
QV please:All I ask for is the mathematical odds of evolution ever happening.
Evolutionist Harold Morowitz estimated the probability for chance formation of even the simplest form of living organism at 1/10 to the 340,000,000th power. By comparison only 10 to the 20th power grains of sand could fit within a cubic mile and 10 billion times more (10 to the 30th power) would fit inside the entire earth. So, the probability of forming a simple cell by chance processes is infinitely less likely than having a blind person select one specifically marked grain of sand out of an entire earth filled with sand.
There is nowhere near enough time nor matter in the entire universe for even the simplest cell to have formed by chance combinations. Even if all the correct chemicals somehow came together in the correct place, you still wouldn't have life. This is exactly the situation every time a living organism dies. Immediately after death, all the right chemicals exist, in the right proportions, and in the right place -- yet the creature is still dead!
This Harold Morowitz?
Hmmm ...This Harold Morowitz?
He also said this:
“Energy can create order,” Dr. Olds said, “and life, if anything, is order.”
and this:
"In 1983, he testified in McLean v. Arkansas, a case that successfully challenged a state law mandating the teaching of “creation science” in Arkansas public schools. Professor Morowitz described creation science as “somewhat deceptive” and said its proponents “play rather fast and loose with the use of the second law of thermodynamics to indicate that the natural origin of life would not be possible.”
Not my job, not my department.emonstrate what is "real" with evidence.
