Re: Origins of life revisited

this dog . If I am reading the article correctly, I would assume that as "evolution" progresses, it slows due to the defined structure? All well and good, overall. While the science displayed may offend the sensibilities of creationists (err....the Kent Hovind fans), it still provides a basis for intelligent design. The one thing that is still unanswered as far as I know is *where* did all these things come from? What/Who made the elements, What/Who made the ability for them to interact and build on each other.
It's just too convenient, even when hidden in technical terms and concepts that are beyond most people's abilities to grasp. The more I learn about biology, the more I am convinced of <span style="text-decoration: line-through">redacted</span>'s existence. I realize when it all comes down to it we are just chains of atoms and not worth much in a rendered form on the global chemical exchange market... but it does make you wonder doesn't it?</div></div>
This is a discussion that lends itself much better to beers and tacos better than the internet atleast on the philosophical side. I will give you a raincheck for that. On the technical side perfect timing I would say quite impressive cutting edge bio to read about. Check out the Astrobiology journal for similar stuff if or piqued your interest. Also I will just go with what I know personally the stars created the elements and then distributed them throughout the universe in explosions much larger than human comprehension allows appreciation of
. What made the stars? Swirling hot gasses, gravity, time. What made the gasses? An even bigger explosion. What made that? I haven't the foggiest cosmology is incredible but it's a long way from maturity we will most likely know little more before I die, but I am not bitter about that it's really astounding wHat we already know.
