  • In June 2007 the Council of Europe's "Committee on Culture, Science and Education" issued a report, The dangers of creationism in education, which states "Creationism in any of its forms, such as 'intelligent design', is not based on facts, does not use any scientific reasoning and its contents are pathetically inadequate for science classes."

  • It is so nice to hear the evolution of man.

    Darwin is a religion

  • interesting and informative....

  • nice topic.. very interesting...

  • @Mr88playmaker How much did I win? If you call to tell me the I've won the lottery I know you've told me that I've won the lottery. I don't know I've won the lottery. 

    I think you'll find chemicals are the result of electrmagnetic forces. Does the information that would constitute possible life forms that currently don't exist itself exist?

  • @gamesbok

    Chemicals are a product of genetic information, and there is no such thing as information made of chemical. Genetic information is neither matter nor energy. For example, if I call you to inform you that you've won the lottery, the information is not your telephone. The information (that you have won the lottery) transcends the medium (the telephone).

  • @Mr88playmaker I'm sorry, but all matter in the universe is in communication with all the rest, apart from bosons which seem to have a stunning ability to ignor each other, but femions can't ignor them.

    If you think there's something going on in biology that isn't chemistry I think you're obliged to tell us what it might be.

  • "What prevents you from transmitting this information in DNA. a fine language, according to you."

    So long as you and I can agree together on an assigned meaning to anything, we can communicate information. Assigning meaning to symbols always requires a mind.

  • I love academia. Where else can you go to find such precisely defined and demonstrated hypocrisy. Not to mention all the ass wipes like Jon von Douche bag who build their careers on Darwin.

  • @assym2006 Ah, yes, the most mature way to handle a situation:

    Draw attention away from the facts and to your personal views about who made the translation. No, really, that's gonna convince me to believe you.
