Dear Atheist,

Owl Raper must have watched Evan & Bruce Almighty and thought it was time to preach to the infidels. Trolling motor ACTIVATE.

thus proving the failures of the scientific method

Proving why sheep need shepherds. If people learned to think properly they wouldn't need to have the same old ass dogma beaten into them every week to remind them how to life their lives. In middle school (hopefully) you were taught something call the Pythagorean Theorem - tells you how to calculate the third side of a right triangle given you know the values of the other two. Once you understood this concept did you ever go back to it on a weekly basis seeking some sort of divination out of the truth? Nah, you just shelved it away to be pulled out as necessary in case you forgot. Religious types read the same shit, over and over, and expected something new/more out of it every time - sounds pretty definition of crazy to me.

Yeah, cause the most recent version of a few thousand year old, generally misunderstood (at least imo) story has to be true...

Also, since I'm bored and know my Ochem mechanisms forwards and backwards... My Ochem teacher is researching Molecular Phylogenetics and wrote a computer program that accurate calculates the entropy of, and the formation of, DNA strands that make up bacteria - one step closer to explaining the how of life instead of "ermahgawd black box = evidence of God".

I want to derail this thread in an edifying way.

Lets talk about the biggest molecular mystery: the origins of homochirality. Can scientists determine (experimentally) feasible natural phenomena that would lead to a solution of monomers from which a homochiral molecular self-Replicator could propagate?

Also, what sort of ligation chemistry could provide the necessary balance of stability and reactivity to achieve spontaneous assembly of the first self-replicating catalyst? Amides and esters are too inert, as are phosphodiesters. Thioesters and disulfides are reasonable... Maybe hemiacetals?

Its pretty widely accepted that DNA wouldn't provide a suitable self-replicator, because base pairing limits its range of conformers and ties up potential catalytic moieties. Rna is much better suited, and indeed a nearly self-replicating rna sequence has been engineered, but it still seems like an unlikely first selfreplicator because of the monomer complexity and high energy of the phosphodiester bonds. We'll likely never know for sure what the original molecule was, but exploring possible scenarios is an extremely interesting area of study.

If you blindly listen to/take orders from a human being, especially one that you deify... you are a moronic sheep.
