common creationist claim.you cant get something from nothing,so god did it.

Quote from RCG Trader:

FT, there is hard science, and there is the science of manipulation, otherwise known as psychology and sometimes sociology. Religion falls under the latter. Life is hard, people need an out. Further, death is unavoidable. If one is dealt a bad hand in life, it is good for society to perpetuate the belief that you will get yours after you die. Keeps down the riots.

I admire your tenacity, but make no mistake, if you convince even one person here of the obviousness of this truth it will not be before they have died a mental death and been reborn.

A state of skepticism and suspense may amuse a few inquisitive minds.
But the practice of superstition is so congenial to the multitude that, if they are forcibly awakened, they still regret the loss of their pleasing vision.- Edward Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
 
Quote from jem:

Religiously uniformed atheists like you ignorantly state they know there is no God even though they could never prove there is or was no creator.

I've noticed this. Atheists preen and strut about under the banner of pure logic.

Then they do the most illogical thing in the universe. They flatly state there is no God. Not that they don't know if there's a God (that's agnostic). They KNOW. And they KNOW there's no God. It's crackin' me up as I write this.

Query: What could ever be more impossible than to KNOW that there is no God? Is there a greater fool's errand than that?

Oh, no. It's the creationists and their fairy godfathers who have pure logic on their side.
 
Quote from stu:

What is there not to comprehend. Szostak is potentially discovering many plausible pathways , not one single one, for the origin of life.

How does calling people names then defeating your own very silly God the creator argument make you in any way right.?
Oh of course I forgot. You troll this out without any idea about what you're doing.
More...

Of course you are such a troll you disregard science and take that quote out of context.

If you read the last line Szostak states -

"... of course, we might never know what really happened on the early Earth."


Watch the troll in action - in Stuology - this last line will mean that science now has one complete plausible pathway but in the future we might lose that knowledge.
 
Quote from Free Thinker:

this is a rather telling statement on your level of critical thinking ability.
in your mind magic is just as possible as natural processes.

I think the telling part is you seem to think there is a difference.

you think? lets explore it a bit with some critical thinking. as we look around us there is a natural explaination for almost every thing we observe on earth and in the solar system. we are safe in concluding that even the things we dont yet have all the answers for also have a natural explaination.
how many examples of magic in the earths formation can we document? the answer is zero. as a self proclaimed critical thinker do you still conclude magic has the same level of probability as natural proceses in the beginning of the universe?

Science's answer is precisely "magic happened" when queried on the causation of the universe.
 
Reading one line out of his quote and then making baseless assumptions from it while ignoring the rest like you always do, IS taking the quote out of context. Jerk.

No, that's just you saying it's science's answer.
