    Pastafarianism

    I'm in agreement regarding the presentation of a variety of ideas and theories. I'm not in favour of banning any theories. What I don't agree with is proponents of ID vying for equal status with evolution in science classes. The evidence for ID is scant at best, and couldn't be seen as a robust...

    Frubals are the wee coloured bars on the right hand side of your posts. If you like a post, click on the set of scales and you can add to that person's frubals. It's a way of acknowledging a post you agree with.

    Ruth I really didn't intend to offend you. It was stupid of me. I apologise.

    Abiogenesis and Evolution

    Not necessarily. There is research being undertaken on abiogenesis. Just because we don't know how something happened, it doesn't mean we are 'dodging the question'. Far from it - the whole purpose of science is to explore what we currently don't know. Unlike some systems of thought, science...

    Do you believe in a global flood?

    But how? The root sent out from the germinating seed could not tolerate the excessive soil moisture. As I said, olives are dry-adapted plants. To assume that somehow they can change their environmental tolerance within a few months is unfounded.

    Do you believe in a global flood?

    Rusra02 I made a mistake in my post you quoted above. I said that the flood lasted 40 days. Just checked Genesis 7:24 "The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days". This makes it even more unlikely that an olive tree (a tree adapted to dry conditions) would be able to tolerate...

    Do you believe in a global flood?

    Olive trees and waterlogging: SpringerLink - Journal Article Last line of the article's abstract: "The coupled effects of salinity and waterlogging (hypoxia) stresses were most detrimental for olive's growth."

    Do you believe in a global flood?

    My post above referred to olive trees - the tree mentioned in the bible.

    Well, if you look at the way you spelled 'publicly' in your post about women and clothing, you'll see what I mean (!!)

    Pastafarianism

    I don't deal with heretics. Take your unclean sauces elsewhere.

    Pastafarianism

    I admire your honesty, but we have to go on evidence. Yes, 'Darwinism' could be wrong, but do we have an alternative with as much substantiated evidence?

    Why do you believe what you do?

    I feel the power of Nature every day. I live at the foot of a mountain, overlooking the sea and I regularly see deer, otters, whales and golden eagles. This gives me a grounding in terms of what is real and important. I don't believe in any 'higher being', because there is nothing higher in what...

    What all do you recycle?

    My school (I'm a teacher) is in the process of refurbishment at the moment, and we have a skip in the school grounds. When the janitor (attendant? Sorry. UK-US differences) isn't looking, I'm ***-deep in the skip reclaiming chairs, ring-binder folders and all manner of crap that I think can be...

    What do you dislike about Capitalism?

    Painted Wolf And once we realise that we don't actually need a lot of the stuff we have, moving it on can be a liberating experience.

    Abiogenesis and Evolution

    As much as it pains me, I have to agree. I hated chemistry at university!

    What do you dislike about Capitalism?

    Yes, the only way we can opt out is by opting out. I gave up a job and a mortgage in a city and moved to an island community where I had to cycle everywhere and buy locally (where possible) because I felt it was the right thing to do. Biting the bullet and following your heart is hard (it cost...

    What do you dislike about Capitalism?

    So, having talked about how bad it is, what are we going to do about it?

    Abiogenesis and Evolution

    I think abiogenesis is within the realm of chemistry, rather than biology. It's interesting to contemplate, though, how those first organic molecules 'sparked' into life. How did we go from inert molecule assemblages to cells with the capacity to move, reproduce, respire etc?
