Aemmyjah: Sorry Aemmyjah, but you have not "stated scientific facts". What you constantly state is what you've read in the Holy Bible, which is in no way a science book, and which you have not bothered to scientifically scrutinise. And what I see is you constantly contradicting your own self and misrepresenting others. Perhaps consider not telling others what they should see and instead invest in reading the thread with open honest eyes. I have the feeling you'd see yourself. 2 Likes |

Aemmyjah: Consider the evidence as shown in the images Jaephoenix Thorrn LordReed Looking at the mathematical probability of life or DNA arising by chance shows it is basically impossible No scientist can beat his chest and say the DNA is a product of mindless chance unless he does not know anything about genetics. It is important to note that the information written on DNA molecules is not produced by any known natural interaction of matter. Matter and molecules have no innate intelligence, allowing self organization into codes. There are no known physical laws which give molecules a natural tendency to arrange themselves into such coded structures. "Like a computer disk, DNA has no intelligence. The complex, purposeful codes of this "master program" could have only originated outside itself. In the case of a computer program, the original codes were put there by an intelligent being, a programmer. Likewise, for DNA, it seems clear that intelligence must have come first, before the existence of DNA. Statistically, the odds are enormously in favor of that theory. DNA bears the marks of intelligent manufacture. " Evolutionist Michael Denton: "The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable, event. Such an occurrence would be indistinguishable from a miracle." 1 Like

Aemmyjah: - "...life cannot have had a random beginning...The trouble is that there are about two thousand enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in 10 to the 40,000power, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup. If one is not prejudiced either by social beliefs or by a scientific training into the conviction that life originated on the Earth, this simple calculation wipes the idea entirely out of court....The enormous information content of even the simplest living systems...cannot in our view be generated by what are often called "natural" processes...For life to have originated on the Earth it would be necessary that quite explicit instruction should have been provided for its assembly...There is no way in which we can expect to avoid the need for information, no way in which we can simply get by with a bigger and better organic soup, as we ourselves hoped might be possible a year or two ago." Famed researcher Sir Fred Hoyle is in agreement with Creationists on this point. He has reportedly said that supposing the first cell originated by chance is like believing "a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boeng 747 from the materials therein." Dr Wilder-Smith is an honored scientist who is certainly well-informed on modern biology and biochemistry. What is his considered opinion as to the source of the DNA codes found in each wondrous plant and animal? "...an attempt to explain the formation of the genetic code from the chemical components of DNA...is comparable to the assumption that the text of a book originates from the paper molecules on which the sentences appear, and not from any external source of information." " As a scientist, I am convinced that the pure chemistry of a cell is not enough to explain the workings of a cell, although the workings are chemical. The chemical workings of the cell are controlled by information which does not reside in the atoms and molecules of that cell. There is an author which transcends the material and the matter of which these strands are made. The author first of all conceived the information necessary to make a cell, then wrote it down, and then fixed it in a mechanism of reading it and realizing it in practice -- so that the cell builds itself from the information..." Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith makes this thought-provoking and humbling statement: "When one considers that the entire chemical information to construct a man, elephant, frog or an orchid was compressed into two minuscule reproductive cells (sperm and egg nuclei), one can only be astounded. In addition to this, all the information is available on the genes to repair the body (not only to construct it) when it is injured. If one were to request an engineer to accomplish this feat of information miniaturization, one would be considered fit for the psychiatric clinic." Yet, I am stupid and a dundee and someone who never did Biology in secondary school but claims to be a Biologist I love sciences and I question it too. The more I study nature, the environment, the human body, I see the fingerprint of an intelligent designer, not a product of mindless process. Galileo and Newton were once considered stupid when they come up with their own concept. Both were religious people and their love for science did not waiver their belief in God. I agree with the above and below During all recorded human history, there has never been a substantiated case of a living thing being produced from anything other than another living thing. - As yet, evolutionism has not produced a scientifically credible explanation for the origin of such immense complexities as DNA, the human brain, and many elements of the cosmos. - It is highly premature for materialists to claim that all living things evolved into existence, when science has yet to discover how even one protein molecule could actually have come into existence by natural processes. - there is no scientific proof that life did (or ever could) evolve into existence from non-living matter. Further, there is substantial evidence that spontaneous generation is impossible. Only DNA is known to produce DNA. No chemical interaction of molecules has even come close to producing this ultra-complex code which is so essential to all known life. |

Aemmyjah: Simply saying DNA is complex therefore it didn't occur by chance is evidence of nothing but your own incredulity. How complex chemicals, of which DNA is one, has been and is still being studied, with all results showing that they can form by natural processes. DNA is not a code, it is a chemical and it behaves exactly as any other chemical would behave, reacting or not reacting in the presence of other chemicals. There is no magic to it beyond its complexity, which means millions of reactions are taking place constantly. Calling it code is just an attempt to insert agency where it doesn't belong. Michael Denton is a proponent of Intelligent Design so it's not surprising he would make such a statement. ID was destroyed in court when they tried to push it as a part of science curriculum, it simply is a bad unwarranted conclusion to any of the scientific facts we currently have. 2 Likes 1 Share |

kkins25: Stupidity is different from critical thinking bros Evolution itself is based on faulty hypothesis as I mentioned earlier If you're too dull to distinguish any intelligent design, it is not my problem but yours. If I am really ill and I go to visit a carpenter, many will insult me and ask me to visit a doctor. Why? Cos doctors understand the design and order of the body. did all that design and order arise from chaos? As evolutionists claim, do you believe that human intelligence arise from the disruptions in the brain of an ancestor? Regarding Genesis 1 and 2, there's no conflict. The same person made them and he made man first. Why not ask evolutionists how male and female and their different chromosomes could be designed by chance When I do not respond to you, it's usually cos your line of reasoning or question is just foolish. It is like going to a field to play ball and your opponent shoots into any direction, even outside the field and he shouts GOAL! and counts scores against you. Same goes with someone who claims another person is wrong, instead of bringing his own facts, he just talks nonsense and he's keeping scores and points. Irrelevant! |

Shey there were created from heaven. Regarding Genesis 1 and 2, there's no conflict. The same person made them and he made man first. Why not ask evolutionists how male and female and their different chromosomes could be designed by chance. 1. Did he make them, man and woman, on the same day or not? Were they, man and woman, the first to be created or the last? 2. How do we have different races and skin colors?

Aemmyjah: There are 100+ million women in the country, But your daddy met mum. You don't even understand SSS mathematics, and you're arguing with us here. oh, Aemmyjah! Calm down so we can uplift you from religious ignorance to religious literacy. A computer program is not perfect, neither can it's creation ever end because the creators know they do not understand it all. This means when the program messes up, they don't accuse it of SIN. God on the other hand is a different kind of creator because he declared "and it was good." Meaning from his perspective creation is good. But that didn't turn out well, did it? Hopefully you get the point? I wonder, did God create HIV within the 6 days? How about H.Plylori(stomach ulcer pathogen), did God create that too? or Malara's P. Falciparum? That too? Evolution is false. Let's pretend to agree, can you then explain why we are taller today than our ancestors of 100 years ago. Evolution is false, but have you sat your lazy brain to wonder if genotypes AS, and SS where created by God? Or do you agree with us that God's creation wasn't perfect? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Does God Exist? by SIRTee15: 9:48pm On Jan 10 |
The resurrection of the saints story: why didn't other gospel write about it. We need to understand that each gospel was to a target audience with specific objectives in the mind of the writers. First let's understand gospel of Mathew. This gospel was written to Christian Jews, the writer wanted to show that Jesus was the Messiah prophesied in the old testament. One of his evidence was depicting Jesus as fulfilling the messianic prophesies in the old testament. Mathew referenced the resurrection saints story as fulfilment of the prophesy given to Ezekiel 37 about dead bones coming alive. Mathew wrote the saints came out of their tombs after the resurrection of Jesus. This proofs Jesus is the Messiah spoken about in Psalm 16 and 17 who will fulfil the resurrection of the dead whose name were found in the book according to Daniel 12. Mathew wrote extensively about Jesus fulfilling multiple old testament scriptures to show he is the Messiah. Gospel of Mark was written to gentiles who had no doubt Jesus is the messiah. The gentiles believed Jesus is divine and truly resurrected, there was no point reiterating to them what they already believed. Moreover, they were not familiar with the old testament scriptures and wouldn't grasp the relevance of such messianic references. Luke wrote based on what he was careful to thoroughly investigate and scrutinise. He will only write claims he was confident he had the details. Luke 1.1-3. Further more, Luke was a physician and this may have influenced what he feels confident to write. As I said in my previous thread, claims of miraculous resurrections even in modern times may not be what they seem unless we have all the facts which we dont have most times. The gospel of John was purely about the christophany and christology of Jesus. It answers the question how is Jesus divine? The gospel was a response to growing gnostic ideology and heresy about Jesus in the later half of the 1st century. As that time, there was no doubt that Jesus is the actual Messiah. Repeating the claim will be inconsequential to Christians at that time. 1 Like |
