You really need to ask for proof...as if this is not obvious? http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_a_12_year_old_get_an_abortion http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2010/March/Wash-High-School-Clinic-Arranges-Students-Abortion/...

Liberals think a 12 year old girl should be able to get an abortion without her parents' consent...at the same time they think a grown adult should NOT be able to choose to buy an incandescent light bulb...the adult must be FORCED to buy a compact florescent light bulb. Liberals think a child...

Classic site!

In a sad sign of the times residents of communities hit hardest by hurricane Sandy may face another daunting storm of another kind. It seems that the ecological effect of Sandy hasn't past the eye of the EPA. Residents of areas along the eastern coastline are being informed by the EPA that...

Some people incorrectly think, "The ends justify the means." -g

If you haven't got a lot time to read this post...there is a "spoiler" marked with ****** below... We can quibble about who wins the US presidency, but, in truth, the end games begin in about five (5 years). What we see today will not look ANYTHING like what we will see in about 5 years...

Here is what is REALLY being said, " 'the big O' is a god - you may not oppose 'our god'. " Hard core conservatives and libertarians opposed Bush's policies that went against the law of the land - the Patriot Act, etc. Hard core liberals/communists cannot or will not oppose "the big O."...

What the hell does Lara Logan know about the Middle East...oh, wait, she was raped on the streets of Egypt by those losers...yeah, I guess she may know what she is talking about! -g

AK...I'll. give you a way out of this mess...say Perry is hot...don't advertise that she endorses Obama. Perry endorsing Obama is like "Pokemon" endorsing Romney. Now, I know you will say Pokemon is fake...and therefore has no intelligence...same goes for Katy Perry. Any Katy Perry...

Pulling "tons of hot chicks" or being famous/rich is not the same as being sane and intelligent. The hot , sane and intelligent chicks (like Kathy Ireland) are more likely voting for Mitt Romney.

Obama attended a "fundraiser" with Katy Perry. If he actually had a brain...he would have avoided such a fundraiser. Katy Perry is one of the stupidest people out there. What SANE woman would have been attracted to Russell Brand? Obama appearing with the ex-wife of Russell Brand actually...

Darn you, Lucrum - I could not have said it better! We should ask the left if any of their voters would like to give up their right to vote to let one of the illegals vote. I bet one of the illegals would love to vote. :D -gastropod

I read the article and it got me thinking about the numbers...which led me to this site... http://michaelgr.com/2008/04/06/how-many-atoms-to-encode-the-human-genome/ Using that info and (another unknown quantity of a site...) http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=186794...

Do you understand the nature of my argument? It appears deltastrike does...but, do you and brass?

You may be to some extent right...I may be "living in the gap"...but, what I was showing is that it is still a really big gap. That genetic code is way more complex than we as humans could come up with in human knowledge and technology. When people say that evolution (defined by me :D) is...

Even that "creation" was a synthesis of DNA from other parts. Various "pieces" of DNA were mixed and eventually...dropped into a pre-existing cell....not quite making it from scratch...more like adding a room to a house...the house (cell with walls, etc.) was already there...they changed the...

It is interesting that you mention boules...even the Czochralski method of boule creation...requires a seed crystal to begin with...not really starting from scratch. We are very close to building computers from the atom level. Transistors have been made at the "atom" level...but, alas...no...

I will ask a slightly different question...do you think that biologists could create a new organism - not using DNA or RNA as we know it...but create a life form? Is biology/bioengineering at the point where life would not rely upon DNA? -g

LOL - no, I agree a "simple" protein is VERY complex - hence the use of supercomputers! Labor intensive - lol - it can't be done! Even from your example of the mixing of the amino acids...how many enzymes are they using when they synthesize amino acids on the industrial scale? Where do...

Sorry...it is like me saying I "build" computers...when all I am doing is putting components together. If it could be done now...IBM is wasting a LOT of money with supercomputers that are dedicated to SIMPLE protein folding. I am not talking about the more complex proteins...so called simple...
