We're talking about a skyscraper in Hong Kong and the hut is one of it's droppings. Vast difference in design and complexity but both would be sufficient to be viable in there own element. Mud huts are not strong or expensive but stay much cooler without any kind of power or energy. The mud hut will not evolve into a Hong Kong skyscraper no matter how long you watch. Were talking about complex molecules that do specific jobs and drive complex machinery. Think of a cell as a city with numerous factories to make it self sufficient. DNA decides not only how the factories will be built but what factories are needed and how they will all interact to make the cell self-sufficient, and some of the factories will be build only as needed from parts from other factories that are deemed surplus as they too can be rebuild as necessary. All the Plans are in the DNA but how does the cell or any part of it know when or what plans to consult and who or what redraws the plans as necessary. Still the DNA is very specific in what capabilities are available so that the fly cant grow a human foot or the frog won't grow a hoof. The DNA is limited only to minor changes. Any more and things needed to survive aren't there. Splice too much and the different parts fight each other. Now consider that all members/parts/factories/roads/power/lights/political parties in the system have to work together and if one part is out of place the system crashes and the organism never happens. Here is another puzzlement. It seems that the difference between Man and Woman are that one end of the structure is slightly goofed so that between the woman and man several traits are either activated or not. Other than that they are the same structure. But how can you say that one is evolved differently from the other?!? With out the difference, the species would never have been so it could have nothing to do with evolution, leading one to expect a spontaneous event {*POP*} where both could continue as one flesh so to speak as there would never have been time for an evolutionary change to allow them both to evolve into a viable species. Consider this: One translation says "You formed me even in the womb from the lower parts of the earth" Or to that effect. could the translation as easily be designed and programmed elementally in the womb. Certainly fits what is actually happening, but what does a sheppard boy know of DNA? First there is a prototype, then improved designs, and at some point in the future, or far-far-future, a finished design (maybe.)

Absolutely no difference in the context which the point is being made, you are confusing basic building blocks with technology--apples and oranges ...

Absolutely no difference in the context which the point is being made, you are confusing basic building blocks with technology--apples and oranges ... I lost your context then. The only thing in common between the skyscraper and mud hut is that they have a maker and some plan. Maybe some wood. If you are talking Chemistry, then you are getting specific and I doubt they use the same mud formula in the skyscraper anywhere but in the flower pots. The only thing in common with various different species are proteins, and they aren't even life. I contend that the complexities involved are too astronomical to be accidental because outside of minor adaptability that are wired for, changes from one species to another couldn't happen one step at a time, it would be just as probable if male and female of a species popped out ready made. You cant make a semi out of a VW bug without recycling and redesigning it from the ground up. You argument contains more your agenda than rational debate in a quest for answers... colleges are constructed just for such purposes--to educate you in the differences ... There is no place for rational debate on this subject (and many others) in most colleges. It conflicts with the agenda to promote Globalism, Marxism and homosexuality, and especially the denial of God, national unity, or any authority above the Global Socialist state. Karl Marx was a seminary student when he stumbled onto Darwin's book. After reading it, he lost his faith and went to formulate his own theories of life and revolution. Hitler also read Darwin's book and made references to it in Mein Kamph and other works to justify ridding the world of "inferior species" in order to promote evolution. Darwin became an Atheist because he couldn't bear the thought of his Father going to Hell for committing suicide and sought to promote Atheism. Interesting to note, several of his children had birth defects. I present this in the context that Darwin promoted: 1. That all life on the planet evolved from mud and through slow evolution, 2. All species evolved from a single celled organism that evolved spontaneously from mixtures of "primordial ooze" and inevitably, 3. There is no god, no purpose in life but to be killed and eaten by another organism. In fact, there is no more proof of those ideas, than of the idea that a great number of species spontaneously emerged over a short time and make environmental changes within the limitations of the DNA and viability. However, since there is no research money for God, the Darwin theory persists because the alternative is unthinkable. |

Iron is iron, whether in a pure form, alloys, rust or other ferric compounds. Silicon is silicon, whether in a window pane, silicon oxide, or some other compound of silicon. Calcium is calcium, whether in limestone, cement, earth, or other calcium compounds, etc., etc. ... Back when I was in college, someone did some computations of how the body of Plato would have decayed and been dispersed throughout the world in the thousands of years since his death. They arrived at the conclusion that everyone on the planet would have at least 6 molecules from Platos' body in their own bodies (mostly water molecules since that is the major component of the human body) ... I cannot verify the accuracy of those computations--however, you get the drift--I am part Plato! grin Regards, JS |

Hi Ian, Are you referring to the minstrel baiting term? It's bad enough to tolerate this anonymous carnival of religious cliches with their dialog of obscene pandering. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

I thought I heard some inane and insane rantings from an individual out of his mind with pain! Reminds me of that poor b*st*ard which used to go around mumbling quotes from Shakespeare in reply to technical discussions ... at least he is gone for the moment, or so it might seem. :-) Regards, JS |

Well, here is my favorite version: Fee-fi-fo-fum I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread. -- "Jack the Giant Killer." Now, one sure to be your fav: "Child Roland to the dark tower came, His word was still, Fie, foh, and fum, I smell the blood of a British man." -- Shakespeare, "King Lear." And, for those finding neither to their liking: "O, tis a precious apothegmatical Pedant, who will find matter enough to dilate a whole day of the first invention of Fy, fa, fum, I smell the blood of an English-man". -- Thomas Nashe, "Have with you to Saffron-walden." Ahhh, remember the good-ole-days when you could write this gooble-de-gook for yourself? A burden which has now befell my shoulders--I only thank God they are broad (my shoulders of course, not the women!) :-( However, Shakespeare does seem to befit some as more appropiate "trolling lines" than myself ...
