No one with a proper education considers the Middle Ages to be Antiquity.
The Middle Ages cover a period from about 1000 AD at the very latest (most class it as around 500BC) to 1450 AD, Antiquity is classed as being prior to the Middle Ages which means pre-1000AD as a minimum. So no, 500...
He should not admit it because its not true, Carbon dating and Ar/Ar dating are not the only methods. The pre-circa 5,000BP period fits well with the ranges of the following methods.
Thermoluminescense
Optical Dating
Archeomagnetic
Lead Corrosion
Amino-Acid
Rehydroxylation (Probable. Still...
No, just stop demonstrating your ineffable ignorance. "Limits the conditions" means that if a cell was the sole thing in an isolated system then it could never develop or reproduce. BUT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN ON THE EARTH BECAUSE THE EARTH IS NOT AN ISOLATED SYSTEM.
By your misrepresentation of...
The problem with such studies is that they are inextricably linked the to the fact that prostitution is considered illegal/immoral so that there are aspects of victimisation and control. Its findings cannot be simply extrapolated to cases where those negatives do not apply.
Personally I have no...
Stop lying. 2nd LoT does not prevent non-living matter organising into living matter. It limits the conditions where it may happen but those limitations do not come into force when you are talking about the earth or anything upon it because the earth is not an isolated system.
Why bother, you will just ignore any explanations and continue to misrepresent people's words.
But yes scientists have revived dead cells. Science, like a Fez, is cool.
Whether or not a dead cell can reproduce is simple a matter of biology, we define a dead cell as one that cannot reproduce...
Just did, it does not mention any such conflict sites. In fact the prevailing theories mentioned are based around climate change, new pathogens or competition for resources.
No its not. You are ignorant of the 2nd law of Thermodynamics, just as you are ignorant of so many things.
Only, and only, if that dead cell was sealed inside an isolated system would there be a contravention of the 2nd law. If it is in an open system then such increases in complexity are...
Not a relevant question, Martin Luther spoke strongly against the state of Catholicism and against Catholic Priests, yet Lutherans are still Christians.
Shia and Sunni disagree on various subjects related to Islam, but both are mulsim.
Your knowledge is incorrect and incomplete, its long been known that DNA does more than simply contain the code for the production of proteins. A very important function of DNA is the regulation of how and when genes are expressed, it is from this function that body structures are "organised"...
That small fraction could just as much arise from limited reproductive compatabillity due to the time separation between the ancestor or simple geographic separation if the interbreeding was early, in later periods there just may not have been any interbreeding. There is certainly not enough...
In my opinion I really don't think it is much of a factor, looking at all such instances we know about these form mere blips when compared to the global populations at the time, natural factors such as disease and large scale events such as ice ages or very major eruptions tend to have far more...
Except for naturally occurring glass such as obsidians, fulgarites and tektites of course, which is made by nature.
All that humans have done is scale up the process and reduce the levels of impurities.
Its very unlikely, modern humans have an exceptionally low level of genetic variation compare to most other species (due to the known bottleneck in the recent past), the chances of what we see being the result of convergent evolution from a number of earlier species are vanishingly small and...
The evidence points to multiple migrations by various species of the Homo genus, some of those species persisted across large areas for a long period of time such as H. erectus which started in Africa and spread out over a huge range of Europe and Asia and beyond. Other species evolved after...
