There you go...Creation of an organism without religious overtones.

Have a nice day  






Holy crap!

You are in big trouble.

How dare you consider scientists to be the Gods of Creation V2.0

The other creationists will pray for their God to smite you.

Quoted from Box A Rox


I have no problem with Christians... I have a problem when Christians attempt to pass laws that inflict their
religion on the rest of us.

Christians can believe in Noah's arc, or that the earth is 6,000-10,000 years old... I don't much care what
they believe... that is up to them.

When they attempt to force their religion on the rest of us... then obviously, I and the US constitution object.

BTW, I would guess that most Christians believe in evolution and that they use the Bible as a RELIGIOUS guide,
not as a SCIENCE book.


I agree.

Christians are free to believe what they want.

I am also free to talk give opinions of it.

Keep the religious nonsense out of the government.

Keep the government out of religion.

Yes, I am saying that churches should not be tax exempt.

That is government discrimination based on religion, which is unconstitutional, as I read it.

The government needs to stop favoring religious "businesses" over everyone else.

Yes, churches and religion are operated as businesses.

Government favored businesses.

This entire issue being debated here was started by a gallop poll survey.

Aren't surveys and studies scientific in nature?

Using scientific data to disprove scientific evidence evolution, and claim creationism, seems just a little weird.

The only persons in trouble in this thread is you and Box of Cocks. You wanted me to show you 'Creationism without God' and now that I have, your entire argument has been destroyed.

If we can create life, then the existance of 'God' has to be considered a very real and plauseable possibilty.

Your post:
"If we can create life, then the existence of 'God' has to be considered a very real and plausible possible."
I'm afraid that I don't follow your view on this...
Of course we can "create life"...
See below for possibility of how life began on this planet:
(The Evolutionist View)
In early pre-Cambrian times, the Earth was hot and volcanic, lashed by violent electrical storms, and
the atmosphere was rich in carbon dioxide, sulphur compounds and ozone. Conditions were ideal for
chemical reactions to occur. Complex compounds began to form. Then inorganic molecules combined
into even more complex organic compounds, gradually forming amino acids and proteins, the building
blocks of life. Over millions of years, some of these compounds formed into simple cells, some of which
had the capability to replicate themselves under certain conditions.


If a combination of chemicals was the origin of life on earth as described above, and your example of man
creating life from chemicals... both of these examples occur WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANY GOD.  Yet you
seem to think it proves that a god exists or even gives evidence to a god.  

Doesn't it prove that life can be created and exist  WITH OUT A GOD??



The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

In case you haven't been paying attention, I never said God doesn't or hasn't existed.

I even went as far as submitting the idea that there are, and always have been, an infinite number of Gods and realities coexisting.

I just don't believe, even for one moment, that this current reality that this debate is taking part in, was created less than 10,000 years ago.

I also don't believe religion based creation belongs in schools.

I base that on the people having a right to not take part in religion.

Private schools can teach whatever, but mandatory, government funded schools, have no right to inflict the dumbness of religious creationism less than 10,000 years ago, on anyone.

I don't dispute that science can create life at all. I will further add that it surely can create new forms of life.

I do still believe that the laws of physics still apply to our current reality. Therefore energy/mass can never be created or destroyed.

Anything that can scientifically be described as living contains mass/energy.

These new synthetic cells are not spontaneous creation.

They are energy/mass manipulation. That is entirely different from the claims of creation V1.0 whereby they claim all reality was created from nothing by God.

Create something from nothing and you can call yourself God.

Create a synthetic life form from existing materials, and you are at best, an android builder.

I believe the creationist theory claims that all existence was created from nothing.

As science has shown, living things that never existed can be created.

When science can create something from nothing, then they will actually be creating.

Converting chemicals, heat, and other mass/energy particles into an organism isn't creation.

It is merely a chemical or energy conversion.

I don't care about proving or disproving a GOD.  I don't care if people believe in the literal translation of the
bible.  I DO care when others try to use US law to inflict their religious views on the rest of society.  God
or no God... Creationists can believe what ever they like... just don't try to force that view on the rest of
us and especially DON'T FORCE US TO LEARN CREATIONISM AS IF IT WERE SCIENCE.

Evolution, that the creationists deny existence of, isn't about disproving the existence of God.

Evolution doesn't seek to disprove existence of anything.

Creationists seek to disprove reality as hooey.

Not to mention that nothing says private citizens can't directly help out a vet. WTF do you need a gluttonous nanny to distribute the money for you?


YUP!! When GOV ALMIGHTY stands before the sheople and tells them that the government is going to take care of the 'victims' with taxpayer money, because they can distribute it better...the sheople eat it up!!! So when the sheople agree to the 'lie'...their taxes go up and they lose ALL control over where and to whom their contributions go. Not to mention....it no longer becomes a 'tax deduction'!!! Nitwits!

I don't think it was ever proposed as a required class.  I believe it would be an elective - like Philosophy.  Man, I thought you libs were "open minded".  Guess not.

Churches teach religion for free already.

Do you really want the government teaching a government version of religion?

If government schools are going to force me to pay their tax, I don't see why my community cannot control the curriculum.  People are acting as if prayer and religion observances were always forbidden in public schools.  It wasn't until 1962 that the rabid secularist removed all religion from public schools, and forced their curriculum onto the children.

I can't stand the bullshit argument that there is a separation of church FROM state.  That was NOT the original intent of the Constitution.  For 173 years religion in school was acceptable. The progressive statist decided to re-interpret the Constitution.
