From: Chance Abattoir Gomer's history of the Universe volume I, book 1:
"Hot damn, I gotta turtle head stickin out! Where to pull over... where to pull over... That blue orb looks nice!"
And thus was the first bacteria introduced to earth.
End of Book 1. ewww!

From: Chance Abattoir F*ck 'em and their law! All I ever needed to know, I learned from The Jilted Generation (screw that Toxic Avenger guy). Hey! I missed that! How could it happen?

From: Dianne Mechanique PS - Sorry if I was rude to you at the Nburg dance the other day, you're even scarier in person!  Awwws, you weren't rude at all ... In fact, I was distracted by all the goodies Katt had laid out on the table near the dance floor: there was, you may recall, PIE. Memory Harker <--- Creature from the Off-White Lagoon PS: I'm so glad you responded "Ewwww" to Chance's post; I was about to say exactly the same thing! PPS: Wait. I'm scary? Oh my.

So cream pie is whatever but relieving yourself on planet Earth is "Ewwww?" I'm confused by your lack of moray eels.

From: Nala Galatea If you give me infinity to do it, then I could do it. It would take a very very very long time, but it could be done  The part you must remember is that there is no record of how much time came before the big bang. Therefore, prior to the forming of the universe (by whichever method you prescribe to), there was an infinite amount of time. And it only had to happen once.  It had to be done during the time the Earth was in existance and containing all the ingredients needed, all in the same place at the same moment in time. So the time frame was very limited. Not unlimited by any means.

From: Chance Abattoir I'm curious, how do you know the total number of chances that the basic blocks of life had to roll the dice?
.....
The article I linked to in the first post defines how one would come to the total number of chances.

From: Smiley Sneerwell A huge flaw is that the protein in question is not the product of a test tube of a variety of amino acids of both left and right chirality. A living system only contains amino acids of left chirality.
We are talking about a non-living, non-system. Not a living system. There was no system. There was mud! In a test tube, under the control of intellegent scientists, one would assume it would be easier to replicate the beginning of life.

From: Kevn Klein It had to be done during the time the Earth as in existance and containing all the ingrediants needed, all in the same place at the same moment in time. So the time frame was very limited. Not unlimited by any means. Are we all really arguing with someone who misapplied probability theory to an organized process to infer the existence of a God? For Pete's sake, I see that "existence" and "ingredients" were misspelled; a present participle is used in the place of a past participle; and sentence fragment shows up at the end. I mean, if you're going to wake up SL's brain trust for a debate at least put a little effort into it. Further, why do we even engage in debates like this in the first place? I enjoy a good philosophical debate like anyone but this kind of pseudoscientific tail chasing is just painful. We spend all our time trying to explain, teach, and correct the science behind a topic in an attempt to negotiate a common language on which to construct a debate, yet to no avail. There's no progress, only an endless litany of pseudoscience. Yuk. ~Ulrika~

My English teacher worried about those things too.
maybe that's how you debate, pointing out errors in spelling and grammar... if so, you win hands down, I hated English.
It's telling that my opinion so upset you that you were compelled to write that rude comment. Relax, if what I say changes minds, your personal attacks won't affect anything.

Not until you provide proof that pecan pie really exists and is not some collective fantasy.

So the time frame was very limited. Not unlimited by any means. Assuming that life was created here and not deposited here (which is just as likely as it coming by chance, and more likely than a magic man with glowing sandals and a beard made of wool coming to this rock to engineer microorganisms instead of, say, sex slaves).

What are the chances living cells arrived on a meteor? It would have to be a tough little dude to handle the heat and crash. Edit: not to mention the vacuum of space.

From: Kevn Klein It's telling that my opinion so upset you that you were compelled to write that rude comment. Relax, if what I say changes minds, your personal attacks won't affect anything. If you were just stating an opinion, that would be wonderful. Instead you're posting pseudoscientific arguments with illogical conclusions as fact. When the fallacies in your argument are pointed out, instead of acknowledging them, you switch to a fresh pseudoscientific argument. The quasiscientific approach to justifying the existence of an imaginary God is a pointless exercise, as religion is intrinsically unscientific. If I were you, I would switch to philosophical arguments. You'd get a lot further. ~Ulrika~

Better than the chances life was created by some mythical creature. It's not all that impossible that life, of some sort, could have survived buried in space rock and able to survive the entry and impact. Read this article

Instead of constantly saying how evolution is flawed, how about you explain to me, exactly, how God created the universe.
Oh, sorry, not God, but "Intelligent Maker".
Give me the stats, the applications, the evidence.
All I ever see ID advocates saying is how evolution is incorrect; rarely, if ever, do they show any direct evidence to support their side.
I suspect there is none, as a result.
So please, humor me.
How DID God create the universe? Hint: The Bible is not a primary source.

From: Kevn Klein It had to be done during the time the Earth was in existance and containing all the ingredients needed, all in the same place at the same moment in time. So the time frame was very limited. Not unlimited by any means. What I believe the atheists are referring to is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principleSimply stated: we notice we are here, because... we can't be alive and asking questions where conditions weren't right. So the improbability of *this* earth's actual condition is not weighted against only itself, but against all the other possible earths, other possible space-times &c. And should improbable questioning creatures arise after a billion-billion 'universes' (universi? Latin? Greek?) arise in some trans-universal stew... what should these creatures think? Perhaps they would spend their days sitting there stunned by the unlikelihood of their existence? Of course the anthropic principle has its detractors, insofar as one can always invoke it. Personally I'm finding it quite fun to participate in a serious discussion wherein the term 'panspermia' is mentioned without giggles. I suppose I'm just in a juvenile mood today.
