The only trouble I see is when men start thinking that because they can explain the mechanics, they can negate the mechanic. I can't help but have the feeling that evolution or something like it was hunted for, to fill a need, so academia would have a, " scientific " alternative to profess in the worlds University's.edit on 12-10-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

But has noone ever heard of the Miller–Urey experiment?
The Miller and Urey experiment[1] (or Urey–Miller experiment)[2] was an experiment that simulated the conditions thought at the time to be present on the early Earth, and tested for the occurrence of chemical origins of life.
Specifically, the experiment tested Alexander Oparin's and J. B. S. Haldane's hypothesis that conditions on the primitive Earth favored chemical reactions that synthesized organic compounds from inorganic precursors.
Considered to be the classic experiment on the origin of life, it was conducted in 1952[3] and published in 1953 by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey at the University of Chicago.[4][5][6]
After Miller's death in 2007, scientists examining sealed vials preserved from the original experiments were able to show that there were actually well over 20 different amino acids produced in Miller's original experiments. That is considerably more than what Miller originally reported, and more than the 20 that naturally occur in life.[7]
Moreover, some evidence suggests that Earth's original atmosphere might have had a different composition from the gas used in the Miller–Urey experiment. There is abundant evidence of major volcanic eruptions 4 billion years ago, which would have released carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere. Experiments using these gases in addition to the ones in the original Miller–Urey experiment have produced more diverse molecules.[8]
Put some chemicals in a bottle, shake, poof you got life. Thats my full understanding of it so go read up on it for yourselves.
Also Its a shame that people need to insult and condescend to other people on the internet to make them feel better about themselves Evolution isn't the definitive answer you should always be open to other possibilities, out understanding of how this universe works changes all the time. Being arrogant and putting down someones beliefs isn't going to solve anything any faster.edit on 12-10-2012 by Bixxi3 because: (no reason given)

ok fine im gonna make a new thread
SPITE YOU!
I just dont understand why they dont understand the basic concept?
Ok you want to argue Evolution vs Creationism .... first of all understand it

So you can't substantiate your claim? Do you have the honour to state this explicitely and retract your falsehood?

i have absolutely no idea if it backed up my argument or not as i just hurriedly cut and pasted it but you assumed that it DID substantiate my argument
Posting random exerpts from Wikipedia in the hope that they make you look informed and/or support your argument does nothing to strengthen your case
