i believe there is sufficient evidence that the fittest members of a species have a better chance of surviving than ones that aren't as fit...but even this is micro compared to what i'm trying to explain... so this brings me to the same question that you still haven't answered...even after i asked you several times..i'll make it more understandable for you since you might not understand what i'm asking...let's say you have a box with absolutely nothing in it...no chemicals, no UV light, no atoms, no air...nothing...now tell me, can something spontaneously generate inside the box? and...are you saying that people who haven't been exposed to darwinism and its' counter theories enough to believe in one of those schools of thought are retarded? are you saying that retarded people don't believe in darwinism? although you don't seem to make sense most of the time, i will look past it since you are probably just ignorant...you're still a youngster at the age of 16...

ah, jujitsu...masters of jujitsu are supposedly unbeatable...the Gracie fighters are known to be one of the top jujitsu fighters and fighters in general in the world..

torrents are illegal here in thailand...they've blocked basically every torrent site there is... (anyone know a workaround? heh heh)

all right, then i take back what i said...i was just assuming from the way you copied other writers, that you copied other people's thoughts... what's interesting is when you call science logic, but not religion...yea, religion is based on faith, but it can be logical...you still haven't answered my questions...where did we come from? where did apes come from? where did anything come from? there has to have been a creator, no? it would be illogical to say that everything popped up out of nowhere...don't you agree?

haha, i was thinking it was a bit monty python-ish when i was watching it

haha, this is a good one...i can believe it slipped by me like that!

papa bull...mama bull's a cow! haha, this has to be deja vu

i think it's possible...it seems that there's evidence of water on those two heavenly bodies...and even though it might seem unlikely that something could be alive in such harsh environments, they have found living things in the coldest parts of the arctic and the deepest and hottest parts of the oceans here on earth...so yea, i think it's possible...

have you ever read the Bible or participated in any Christian activities before? i really hope so because if you haven't, you're really something...hope you're not just copying what other people think...

oh come onnnnnnnn...you started out with some good jokes...what happened?! =P

i agree with you on this...there's only so much that can be considered a coincidence...

haha, that's one of the cheesiest astronomy video clips i've ever seen..but i can see it being pretty informative for some people

your posts are so confusing sometimes...

hey that's cool that you were a cop on call...what kind of martial arts did you practice? i took tae kwon do and hapkido as a youngster...i think it was a valuable experience for me since it helped me tremendously in terms of my physical and mental well being... there are some countries where martial arts training is required to be a cop...one example is korea...

even though a lot of Iranians are protesting because of the movie, all my american friends tell me it's a great movie...i'd like to see what all the fuss is about...

Thinking about Photoshop for a while just wondered what the magic wand tool does? the magic wand is a selection tool used to select a specific part of a picture...for example, click inside a person's face and if the colors are similar, it'll select the whole face for you...you can then do what you want with the face, but leave the rest of the picture alone...there's a lot more you can do with the magic wand, but that's the basic use of it...

the highest number posted plus one

you ever hear about parallel universes? it kind of has to do with what you stated about the universe being infinitely big...if it is infinite, then there must be an infinite number of earths out there...and there must also be an infinite number of "you" on the earths..and there must be an infinite number of "you" on those earths that are living exactly the same life you are... so somewhere in this infinite universe(assuming that it is infinite),not only is there someone exactly like you, but also someone who is you but with different hobbies, profession, personalities, likes and dislikes, etc... haha, a bit confusing and crazy, huh?

it has to do with the curvature of space if i'm not mistaken...

i think it's normal for any human being to fear death..but as a Christian, you shouldn't be afraid...your eternal life after death will be infinitely better in Heaven...

4?

there was a thought experiment done in the past in regards to an infinite universe, and by universe, i mean all the heavenly bodies and the space surrounding it..i think it was done by Galileo, but i'd have to get back to you on this.. the thought experiment goes like this...let's say a spear is thrown towards the edges of the universe...if it keeps going, then space is infinite...if it hits a boundary, then that means there must be something beyond that boundary(a boundary must take up space), which also shows that space is inifinite... interesting, no?

O_o A biology major. Current theory about the origin of life involves phospholipids dispersed through water spontaneously condensing into something similar to a plasma membrane. This is probable because phospholipids are partially nonpolar and hydrophobic, leading them to be pushed aside when water forms its hydrogen bonds with itself. When they get pushed aside, they tend to cluster together because they're not repulsed from themselves, and then they form a spherical bilayer. When this happens, they might capture inside them a collection of organic molecules, formed from inorganic molecules reacting with each other in the chemically reducing atmosphere. Some of these organic molecules might include primitive RNA-like strands that'd started to replicate themselves primitively and unreliably through hydrogen bonding. Then some of these strands might have started forming polypeptide-like polymers, again just by hydrogen bonding. Some of these polypeptide-like molecules might've just by random chance turned out in a shape that catalyzes hydrogen bonding and polymer replication. Then these polymers would end up replicating themselves a lot faster and outcompeting its neighbors, which means the beginning of Darwinian evolution, with the result of what we see now. i was waiting for someone to give this explanation =) so, where did these phospholipids come from?

Well not from god, the bible says that god made Adam and Eve out of dust, not evolution. Now some questions I have for you. Do you believe that god said let there be light and the sun appeared? Why does God allow events like Katrina to happen? If god was so perfect, why did he create everything to be imperfect. If god controls everything, why would he send his only son down to Earth for the sins that he made us do? If god is all powerful why doesn't he make it to where we can"t sin? so if the apes didnt come from a god, then where did they come from? anyways, those are good questions you've asked...but you've misunderstood what i was asking...i wasn't talking about God as in the Christian God...i was talking about a god...which is why i corrected myself in one of the replies...and the title of the topic is, "is there a God?", not "is there God?"...i know it was my fault at first, but i did correct myself... basically, i'm not talking about Christianity in particular...i'm talking about religion in general... i mentioned before that i grew up as a Christian...but i asked myself those questions also and have decided that maybe Christianity wasn't the way to go since i was so confused...that's why i started looking into other religions. i believe there is a god, a creator of heaven and earth, but i find it hard to believe in one single religion...
