A Critique of origin of life science by science

A long talk by a world renowned scientist........https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Tour

If your interested in the big questions well worth watching

Very interesting thankyou.What we do not know,at all,is what is possible in biology,chemistry etc,given the age of the Earth.And if one believes in no form of biological evolution in any timescale,how do they explain the very rapid adaptation of "superbugs" etc..within a decade,never mind 6 billion years.

You mean the same bugs that were here previously that happen to have become resistant to anti-biotics?

that happen to have become

That change is evolution in action. We are mostly bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea - about 43% of us is made form human cells.

Humans, like other animals, are simply a result of microorganisms not wanting to die. Sometimes a bacteria or virus will be so desperate to win it'll risk the life of its host.

Luckily scientists are getting better at fighting those with vaccines and antiviral, antibiotic medications.

But, it is easier for most people to believe that a magic man in the sky made people on earth (just one of trillions and gadzillions of planets) as part of some sort of school project.

Food for thought ...

"It's incredible to think each teaspoon of your stool contains more data in the DNA of those microbes than it would take literally a tonne of DVDs to store. At the moment every time you're taking one of those data dumps as it were, you're just flushing that information away." - Prof Rob Knight, from University of California San Diego, told the BBC: "You're more microbe than you are human."

Exactly what i mean...bugs have evolved in a decade or two...with no intelligence involved

Indeed.

If you think that antibiotic resistant disease is a result of accelerated evolution, then you misunderstand evolution.

Who says? I am 100% atheist but sometimes things just seem too specific in design on this planet, it all fits too well. Who says we are not an experiment we have no concept of time outside our spinny planet and a '24hour' cycle could be an hour in their 'lab' or even faster in a hardon collider.

I dont believe a god made us but if one day a little genetically engineered flag rolled down from inside a tree branch saying smile simple earthling you're my school lab project i wouldn't be surprised.

You sound more agnostic than 100% atheist

 

[EddieM]

43% of us is made of human cells? I thought around 70% of us was just water?

 

[Brigadier]

43% of the bits that aren't water?

Of course,,,tis down to god

"Antibiotic resistance is a consequence ofevolution via natural selection. The antibioticaction is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They willthen pass this trait to their offspring, whichwill be a fully resistant generation......."BMJ.

A Hardon collider?
