The odds of a single protein forming are *insert really big number here* to 1 Creationists in an attempt to discredit abiogenises or any other scientific field will spout really big numbers in an attempt to make "it" look impossible. Less dishonest creationists will use real statistics but will misrepresent those statistics, others will just [...]

In crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone, and were asked how the stone came to be there; I might possibly answer, that, for anything I knew to the contrary, it had lain there forever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose [...]

When many people hear about things like genetic modification, geoengineering, etc, many scream "Your playing god!" Well in a sense we are gods. Look at us, look at what we have done, look at what we can do. We can communicate with people on the other side of the world with small devices we hold [...]

Bacteria Transformed into Biofuel Refineries "We incorporated genes that enabled production of biodiesel—esters [organic compounds] of fatty acids and ethanol—directly," Keasling explains. "The fuel that is produced by our E. coli can be used directly as biodiesel. In contrast, fats or oils from plants must be chemically esterified before they can be used." Perhaps more [...]

Biofuels are fuels like ethanol that are made from plant material, they are touted as a source of carbon neutral energy, they are not. Biofuel made from switch grass and corn puts out more greenhouse gases then they would use. An alternative is algae but according to research published this week in Environmental Science and [...]

Some times this argument would be fallowed by examples of things we know have been created. The central stupidity of this argument is the assumption that the universe and everything in it has been created. This is a snow flake. It looks designed, everything about it looks like some one made it but no one [...]

Look at the world. How could all of that just come about by accident or chance? Accident or chance its the same question. The argument is mostly used against evolution. Its based on the misconception that evolution is just random chance. Its not of course. While random mutations play a big role in evolution its [...]
