Handedness begets handedness. There is a slight predominance of the L enantiomer over the R in reactions. This may be all that was needed. This link illustrates what happens when a single enantiomer predominates. http://www.physorg .com/news169375753 .html And then there are catalysts which convert one enantiomer into it's partner. http://www.physorg .com/news162828115 .html (19 hrs ago | post #32894)

As an aside, it takes no more time to be an administrator than a regular poster. The spam I find just get to be posted more prominently on the refrigerator. (19 hrs ago | post #111)

They can start threads. They cannot post news. SO LOL yourself ;(~. - Mostly new ways of thinking. Questioning my preconceived notions. Realizing that whatever I thought I was good at, that there were people who knew more and/or had a different knowledge base. That there were areas I had no clue about. Having to research several areas just to keep up in argument. Realizing that many creationist arguments were so manufactured that just pasting from talk origins was overkill. How to debate (as opposed to fighting). - BTW, we have been debating for so long I forgot what your initial point was. (19 hrs ago | post #110)

They match up with earlier unpublished research and this addition yielded enough proof to support publishing. (20 hrs ago | post #5)

DS addresses the first part. Life isn't exactly anti entropy. Life, though metabolism, uses the energy created from substrates which are enroute to a ground state to survive. Therefore life is in actuality a catalyst with the best catalysts being preferred. I have no desire to argue against the mystical possibilities of reality, however. (20 hrs ago | post #32892)
Maybe he should realize that ID can be taught outside of class (in Louisiana)...not in. (20 hrs ago | post #1880)
Goodie. Therefore since I disagree it is NOT axiomatic now is it? Axiomatic refers to a personal belief. There are no axiomatics in the real world as all it takes is a change in perception to argue the contraryNo, it doesn't. You have done nothing but deny evolution. Strata aren't in million year intervals with distinct forms after each. They also have nothing to do with a designer. You are having a problem delineating the difference between what constitutes reality and fantasy, not to mention the definition of science. Taking evolution out doesn't allow you to replace it with a fairy tale. When you have a mechanism and an observable entity performing the mechanism of creating then you will have something. When you can get around the DNA, Developmental Biology, etc then you might be able to approach the concept of evolutionYou are incorrect. We got into this before and you kept your goalposts in the Challenger space shuttle. Your expectation for proof is ridiculous. There is plenty of evidence to support evolution. Did your genie create all the different sizes of dogs? Cats? How about ferrets? Again, I want a mechanism and a pictureYour problem is that you don't understand the basics of science and that you get angry when people don't agree with you. I would have no issue with a designer if there were a design apparent with a designer, preferably in the act of designing something, instead of a ball of centrally heated mud flying through space around a torchBut we DO observe it. Just look at all the modern dogs. Therefore there is more direct evidence just from fifi than you can even make up for a designer. If the designer were apparent then organisms would be immutableThere I was being nice and look where it got me. Fine. Thank god we don't let ignorant idiots like you define science. Your absolute incompetence when it comes to the scientific method is appalling. You need to learn what science is before you argue against it. Who is two faced? Two faced would signify that I had done anything other than help you expose your idiocy to the web. By followers of evolution you are referring to the scientific establishment. Even your immensely incoherent and baseless ignorance has to accept that the scientific establishment has a better idea about science than you do. This selfsame establishment is the one which claims ID is ridiculous. Therefore you are on the opposite side to that of the experts. (20 hrs ago | post #1879)

I would disagree here. Although actual "life" has not been lab created, we have created self replicating RNA which then mutates yielding a 10,000% increase in improvement in the utilization of substrates. These mutations are changes in the sequence of the RNA, in fact several different new sequences. It isn't to much of a stretch to envision 2 RNA molecules linking (as this occurs naturally) and doubling their chances of dominating in solution. http://www.physorg .com/news160231764 .html http://www.physorg .com/news128181162 .html http://www.physorg .com/news163988697 .html (20 hrs ago | post #32890)
Should evolution be taught in high school?
Actually, about 30% of science teachers admit to not teaching evolution is biology classes either due to their lack of agreement with the material or because they get threatened when they do. The majority of these are obviously in the south. (21 hrs ago | post #30484)

Editor Statement
As a biochemist, an MD, and Clinical Associate with Tuft's U.S.O.M, as well as a lifelong learner, I have been fascinated with science since I can remember. My interest in editing this page is prompted by the attacks on science being pushed by fundamentalist religious sects. Not knowing what else I personally could accomplish, I find relevant news articles and defend science in open debate. The efforts to clarify science is complicated by the misconception that evolution is inherently atheistic, despite all of the various religions which boast top notch scientists who specifically endorse evolution.
