Quote: "Evolution I feel has some logic to it, but the spontanious formation of a cell does not"
Kain, explain to me what happens within the body when a cell becomes cancerous?
The Cell sponstanously mutates, simply because something within the dna is rewritten.
Think about it like this... DNA = ASM, as such the body is written from ASM which the body JIT Compiles into Cells.
A Cancer will basically take the DNA and mess around with it producing a response, in all essence it is like the computer virus win32.cygwin ... this virus takes an exe file and bloats it to 1MB, no matter it's original size.
Well when you imagine the cancer cell basically rather than simply bloating by a given ammount it sets and INC BYTE command to reproduce in a given time frame, this causing it to continue to grow until it crashes.
Cells are identical to programs in a respect they are created on DNA and they also end... durnig the process taking energy from the system (which is created from standard hardware).
Now the idea of spontanus Cell mutation suddenly doesn't seem so far fetched when you consider that the Cancer virus does this very thing, as we still aren't sure how exactly DNA is controlled to make sure a program keeps running with the Intelligence; speculation is all that can me made, but it is considered that this Intelligence is what allows us to adapt to environments, and if you think about this even further the bodies need to adapt could theoretically also control the DNA rewriting to suit the new environment... as such this means your body has full Administration control over your core code.
ergo, the possibility is there it could spontaniously evolve *if* it subconciously saw a need to. For example if an ice age happened tomorrow it is *theoretically* possible your body will realise on the concious level there is no hope of this becomming warmer again, once that is realised your subconcious would kick in and start to grow your hair faster.
We can actually prove this to an extent with the fact that in colder times of the year peoples hair grows faster than in the summer, although this doesn't give conclusive proof it would suggest a correlation between the Concious, SubConcious and Genetic Operation of the body.
It's kinda fascinating stuff when you get down to it, but then biology was never my major subject so there are alot of blanks for me. When learning things I often find that looking for a similar pattern in things which are common to me tend to help me understand better. Most thing in nature are repeating patterns but on higher levels, stumped if i know the way to technically alter these but i can atleast understand the theory behind them.
Quote: "Actually it has been disproven by Niels Bohr (German chemist).
He's the author of the quantumn physics, which clearly say NOTHING in physics is a 100% sure!
You can only calculate a probability that something's gonna happen."
A Scientist believes one thing, everything is subject to change. When you reach a 'constant' it is never called 100% accurate; for the simple reason that there are always unexplained 'exceptions'.
Hense the saying "there is always an exception to the rule".
Newtons Laws of Motion (3rd Law Gravity) is right 99.9% of the time. As far as a scientist is concerned this lets you calculate for margins of possible error but is considered still a constant, with exceptions. (hense correct)
Alot of Quantum Physics is actually pure theoretics, simply because we cannot yet physically interact with events on the level we deal with.
Sure you can measure atoms but whenever you see them through an electro-microscope it is because you have hit it with a particle, thus caused motion and captured it on film.
It is a bit like poking someone with a stick from far away takign a picture and studying it later... you impression on them will just be this angry person ripping your camera from the wall, as your not seeing them at rest.
for every day science you can consider newton's law as well law, they have yet to really be disproven. for the Quantum level science and even further, the laws apply less because we have no way of accurately measuring things; thus we have to use them to make predictions (and we can't actually test to see if we're right unless on a large scale), even still these predictions appear to hold true again 99.9% of the time.
As for the religion, kinda agree with Rich's comments.
and yes it is sad that most Christians now are Literary (Catholic/Protestant) variety. Ho hum. I true do see the Bible as a history book though, perhaps not 100% accurate (i could disput ALOT of the section with the egyptians, as does my lass; as i have a very strong passion for the eygptian and mayan cultures, although the mayan's would've taken slaves the egyptians never did; Outsiders were simply banned from the state. The reason being that they did not allow 'heathans' into thier society, so unless you praised to Ra you were not allowed in egypt. Trade was done on the boarder towns, gold was 'aquired' by the Pharoh by taking his army and 'asking' for them to pay him, it wasn't until the whole Tutkahmun problems that outsiders were given access to the land; this was all because of the internal strife when Tut's dad basically told the egyptians they could only praise Ra and no other gods as there was only one true god ::cough:: i'd love to decypher alot of the writing from around his tomb on that subject actually, but will have to wait until I can next afford to go to egypt
)
But on the whole major events are in-tact in the bible and coincide with other races accounts.
As such you find there are also so many underlining texts conserning the deity society and the workings on them in cross overs that either there was a 6,000 year old book club everyone went to... or there is some truth behind the stories.
all open to interpretation but very interesting non-the-less
