Its called moving the goalposts and something I do not wish to spend more time on cause if he moves the goalposts once he will do it another time. Quoting: John Kimble No. He is right on topic. He is making conclusions concerning the Earth's age based off of thermodynamic arguments concerning the inertia of the Earth's spin.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6853586 No, you just ask a question which I answer and than you ask another question totally unrelated and act as if I didn't answer any questions. That is called moving the goalposts, you ask for one thing and when you get an answer you don't like you shift your position to something else. Its dishonest, childlike and retarded. You didn't answer any question beyond the second law, I understand your view and you are mistaken. Any professor will tell you there is nothing KNOWN that is exempt from that law. I don't need to talk beyond the 2nd law if the 2nd law is the topic. Well.. evolution is topic.. sorry if you were mislead by the title that says CHALLENGE TO EVOLUTIONISTS |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34434006 Norway 02/18/2013 03:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree that mutation as a process for evolution is not possible. But how else could evolution occur. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34434006 That's the evos' problem to solve. ;-D The change in genetics that actually is necessary for an evolution process is thus explained by an external force they call the Designer. It is because they cannot explain it, so it is added something supernatural. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11400595 Lack of explanation is not the only factor here. In fact, it is precisely because we do understand the complexity of DNA that we propose a designer, since "no effect is greater than its cause". It's what we know that leads us to Intelligent Design, not what we don't know. The scientists should use the physical only to prove theories, What is done by spirit or something in other dimensions, they have no instruments to measure. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11400595 So it will be religion no matter. You must have faith in it. Else how can we otherwise uphold the evolution theory. Agree. But may be it is a matter of time that we can find the probability is thee after all. In some way. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11400595 And here again we're in the realm of faith and hope. I feel as if it is better to say that God created all species at once, instead of using intelligent design as a pseudoscientific tool. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11400595 Disagree. ID is not "pseudoscientific" in the slightest. It's actually more scientific than ToE because it lets the data lead to the conclusions, not the other way around. The "Cambrian Explosion" is very good evidence for sudden appearance of all kinds of life. But ID simply is naturalism that knows its limits. Because then we will end up always that evolution is right. So when we find new facts we only adjust it a little bit with the explanation that intelligent design did it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11400595 Ok we can set as a condition that evoluion has to be, and then explain all new facts by it. Again, I disagree that there is much in common between ID and ToE. Thank you, may be we agree mostly. It can be of course an inert will inside of creation caused by a universal force. This can organize DNA into new configurations and thus transform species and even form life from materials on the face of the earth by patterns or programming that this force is composed of. When it performs the evolution new patterns in this force are formed by the new more advanced lifeforms, because they can see subconsciously new needs that would make them even more adaptable to there surroundings. It is a nice thought. The cambrian explosion of life could then be like a big bang caused by this lifeforce. But why did it not occur earlier not so long after the Earth was created, 4,5 BY ago. It waited to form life until 4 BY years afterwards. Yes may be the conditions were not adequate enough for supporting life. If we see God instead of an ID creating life, He would have began at once to create life, because He would probably not see it appropriate to leave the Earth, that He created, empty. He would probably more have seen it a waste to let the Earth turning around the Sun empty for 4 BY. What was the intention of doing that? I have a theory that would have solved all problems. But I have to believe in God that it can be possible. If a personal God created everything at once, both Heaven and Earth and all life 4,5 BY ago perfect, then life in this original condition would not see death, i.e. have eternal life. Then what caused the fossil record was the life beginning to die suddenly for some reason, may be because someone started to temper with the His creation. But the death started first with the more simple lifeforms, may be because the tempering first began with that. Then it began to occure also for more and more advanced lifeforms. The last major development of this was the dinosaurs which then caused God to make a major intervention by some natural catastrophe where many of the manipulated lifes had to be erradicated. Afterwards the manipulation of the creation was continued using mammals and after a while also primates were included in it. This after my view can explain the observations that we have in the fossil record in a much more simple way. The evolution thus becomes instead involution by more and more death. But it has to include a personal God then who can create everything perfect. But it can explain what we see quite nice I think. There are many stories of finds of 10's or even 100's of million years old tools or artifacts that must have been made or used by intelligent beings. And there are seemingly human footprints along with footprints after dinosaurs as kept intact in rock beds exposed by Paluxy River. So why not use such a theory? :) |

There needs to be a mechanism to convert the energy, or else it will only break it down. When a snowflake is on the grond, there is no more mechanism in the clouds, and it breaks down.. Human embryos have a mchanism to convert energy, thats why they grow. But the second law applies to us too, when we get old and die...Getting this yet? |
