@5tonyvvvv I understand you. You want to claim higher morality than others by denying science. You don't have great morality, you just want to claim it. Here's the deal. The fact that Christianity is false is not enough for me to fight it. I would offer support a white lie that was good for humanity. But, I fight against Christianity because it's immoral. The religion and it's followers make false and immoral claims of higher morality in attempts to control and deny others.

@gotrootdude "A simple peptide replicator" LOL, All conducted in a controlled laboratory atmosphere!!! These reactions are not undirected natural processes! INFORMATION and starting materials are DESIGNED!! and scientists always use templates! Wake up atheist MORON!!

@gotrootdude God is eternal, needs no creator! I can see you are an extreme atheist MORON! How did natural processes create the Universe ? Its takes faith on both sides dumb fuck!

@5tonyvvvv
A simple peptide replicator can amplify the proportion of a single handedness in an initially random mixture of left- and right-handed fragments (Saghatelian et al. 2001; TSRI 2001) Please give references of study for your claims, otherwise I'll have to assume you are repeating some made up crap.

@5tonyvvvv Not all atheists believe in a universe from nothing but all theists believe in a god from nothing. How did your god get created? Let me guess, you think you know more than every atheist scientist on the planet, OK MORON!

@gotrootdude Atheists believe something came from NOTHING!! LOL! The Universe created it self with enough Time matter and energy! Then molecules assembled them selves! Homochirality is a disaster for atheism! This is what led Frances collins to leave atheism! But let me guess you know more than Francis collins!! OK MORON!!!

@gotrootdude Homochirality is a disaster for naturalistic origins. All amino acids in proteins are 'LEFT-handed', while all sugars in DNA and RNA, and in the metabolic pathways, are 'RIGHT-handed'. Chirality!
A 50/50 mixture of left- and right-handed forms is called a racemate or racemic mixture!!. Which life can't use!! Its what we see in nature and in labs!
Life never came about by time chance natural processes! IMPOSSIBLE!!!

People have a right to believe in "made up shit" to fill in the gaps of what they do not know. Those damned hateful atheists need to stop calling it "made up shit" and informing people of stuff they don't know. Just let people believe whatever "made up shit" and we can live in harmony on a world of "made up shit".

@5tonyvvvv Experimentation is no longer required to prove DNA self-replication. It's a common medical technique called PCR. I'd say a lot of theists have worked in labs making DNA self-replicate. It's sad that you don't know this already. Has your religion kept you from learning simple stuff like this?
