nice job with all the commercials pissed me off

[booomhauer]

ads suck

[muffinman1]

Why did u have to drag god into this...it got too political towards the end. O well what do you expect from CBS.

[muffinman1]

So far i seen 2 commericals. 3rd one i'm going to punch the screen.

Craig Venter like Steven Jobs Apple?

As I watching and listening, of J. Crag Venter interviews and his lectures. I believed Crag Venter devoted his works for good. He opening new GATEWAY for scientists in today world a new trail "Evolution Synthetic life...

I believed many others scientists around the world will following he footstep in years to came.

I think all scientists in today world-their will keep eyes on watch this issues.

@toobsucker ooh shut up. go to church. evolution is a fact,

[TheRogueMonk]

it is good ot know he is already rich! i just hope it does not hinder him to search with noble heart

Many in science know Darwinian evolution is already falsified. Most evolutionary scientists in biology know most of the genome and protein folds are highly conserved. Conserved means "no evolution taking place" . . All of the molecular machines are highly conserved. and many DNA sequences are also.

Conserved [evolutionary frozen] elements are not subject to the mechanisms of evolution. Element that are not subject to the mechanisms of evolution have no way to get precisely arranged

[toobsucker]

@bcn533 Do we have any reason to think that cells are designed by an engineer of some sort?"

Yes

Bruce Alberts president of the National Academy of Sciences from 1993 to 2005

In an article titled "The Cell as a Collection of Protein Machines: Preparing the Next Generation of Molecular Biologists."

He suggest in order to get to the next level of understanding they should adopt design engineering principles in to the biology curriculum

Conserved elements exist in biology and engineering

@bcn533 "Don't know what you're talking about man"

Of course you don't. Because the problems in the theory are not allowed to be taught. First you must understand what evolution predicts. It predicts a system starting with constantly changing chemical reactions, will through continual incremental changes create a cell and all the different species. This means that everything in an organism must be subject to change (evolution).

This is not the case. Study Ultra Conserved Elements (UCE)

[bcn533]

@toobsucker Don't know what you're talking about man. There is a great deal known about the mechanisms of evolutionary change. Evolution has been documented in the wild and in the lab, to say nothing of the irrefutable evidence from paleontology, embryology, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, biogeography, genetics, biochemistry, and other sciences. It's clear that you haven't acquainted yourself with the fundamentals of evolutionary theory nor the fundamentals of creationist propaganda.
