Who would you say it lies with? Doesn't evolution require abiogenesis? I don't consider myself up to date on the literature concerning abiogenesis, but it seems this issue is addressed primarily by chemists as opposed to biologists. You may consider the theory of evolution as reliant on abiogenesis...

Thereal, come on, you must notice the connection between abiogenesis and evolution. If you're trying to explain how life came about naturally, and you can't get life started naturally...there's a problem. Luckily, the burden of proof for abiogenesis does not lie with the theory of evolution. While ...

Evolution has been proven impossible even at the mollecular level Where is this "evidence" coming from. I looked through the link you provided, and the only connection between molecular biology and evolution provided was an erroneous one linking molecular information and the impossibilty ...

OK, I'm going to hold you to this. Show me these abundant transitions. Note: They must be true transitions, showing the gradual change from one to the other. Of course, I'm not going to try and convince you that these transitions are real based on my own information, for it sounds like your mind is...

Very interesting, I must say. While it's hard to argue with someone as important to science as Mayr and the like, I would hope it was simply a poor choice of words. I can't say what the motives of these folks are, but it sounds like maybe a hasty response to all the allegations that there are gaps i...

Evolution is DEAD it never had a hope . Its unrealistic , unworkable , an isoluble theory , That has nothing to offer in answer to how are we ever to cope with SIN. I used follow evolution like a religion until about two years ago. Evolution and science in general are in no way directly connected t...

Two questions...why is the thread entitled "What the ACLU is up to today" when the article is from 2002? But more importantly...do you have any links that talk about the case in greater detail? I can't even tell what the lawsuit is really about...is the town being sued because the local go...

Also, I don't think another claim of yours is correct-I think a good majority of people do in fact agree on what's right in wrong, and differences between cultures can be chocked up to different perspectives. CS Lewis says that if you take the time to look at the moral systems of several cultures.....

And the problem with the idea of having laws defining morality, is that whatever the state says, is moral. So, Hitler wanted to murder the Jews? Perfectly moral. Stalin wanted to send millions to the gulags and attack the Orthodox Church? Completely moral! And the fun part that I'd love to use agai...

First, are you saying there is something objectively wrong with this? And second, how is this promoting Christmas? I'm sure people celebrated it before it came a federal holiday. And why do you bring Ramadan into this? All you do is eat at night and not during the day. I'm saying there is something...

How is having Christmas a federal holiday establishing a religion. Is it simply "coincidence" that there is a federal holiday on Christmas? Why no federal holidays for Hanukkah, Ramadan, any other occasions having to do with other religions? By creating a federal holiday on a Christian ho...

Nobody knows what the whole separtion of church and state started as...it wasnt what it is now. that is what makes me sooo mad. I don't know what you are trying to say, as this document (the Constitution), as well as events surrounding its creation, fall into the category of recorded history. It is...

I'm unsure as to what everyone means when they are talking about whether or not Christmas can be "banned". Are you talking about not being allowed to make any mention of it in a place such as WalMart? I don't see that as ever happening, as privately-owned businesses can support any belief ...

As far as I know, the only cloning, certainly to adult or mature individuals, has been done with animals. Are you saying animals have souls ? You're right...it was bad grammar on my part. I meant cloning performed by humans of other animals, not cloning of humans. I chuckled a bit when I saw how th...

Sure. Most examples come from botany, although a vertebrate example is the Ambystoma salamanders I mentioned earlier. Natural clones often have multiple sets of chromosomes relative to very similar members of the genus, species, etc. If the norm for a certain genus, family, etc. is diploid and diplo...
