It seems like you should already know that answer.

Indeed I do and you do too, although you won't admit it.
It seems to me that evidentially human brains when damaged will show a predictable corresponding mental dysfunction. You apparently have no evidence, only a belief alone that any other non-damageable supernatural function must be involved somehow.

That's a very silly response. I expect as much from you.

Perhaps you think that the universe has some unknown force that causes intelligence to come into existence by random chance where it did not exist before.

Please free to start a thread explaining how random chance is a creative and guiding force.

Right Divider, are you saying here that you understand evolution to be a process guided by random chance?

Hi Alwight, Right Divider, Interplanner, Jose Fly and Greg,


Now I see where everyone is at. What happened to Stuu and noguru?? I don't see them in the ban list. I think they have been permanently banned, like Mark SeaSigh!! I talk to him once a week, usually on the weekend. If anyone wants me to tell him something, let me know. It's too bad he can't be allowed back here. C'est la vie!! Well, will chat with you again soon!!

May God Bless Your Hearts And Souls,

Michael

Jose Fly, you need to get on the horn and call the NIH right away, cuz on their website they're talking about genetic information!

http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/howgeneswork/makingprotein

Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce other molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.


During the process of transcription, the information stored in a gene’s DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus. Both RNA and DNA are made up of a chain of nucleotide bases, but they have slightly different chemical properties. The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.


Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm. The mRNA interacts with a specialized complex called a ribosome, which “reads” the sequence of mRNA bases. Each sequence of three bases, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.) A type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time. Protein assembly continues until the ribosome encounters a “stop” codon (a sequence of three bases that does not code for an amino acid).


The flow of information from DNA to RNA to proteins is one of the fundamental principles of molecular biology. It is so important that it is sometimes called the “central dogma.”

RightD,
As soon as you put away your childish lists, I may interact with you. It's pompous, and everyone has a little confusion; yours is your pedestal that you publically display each post.

So you think that this thread is the place for your petty complaint?

My list is not for the slightly confused. It's for the very confused and I believe it is quite accurate. It's my reasoned opinion and and I don't put anyone on there without good reason.

That was not hostile.

I understand the science just fine. Thanks

Judging by your belief that evolution is "promoted by atheists" I doubt that you do. It's promoted by the scientific community because it's by far the best explanation we have for the diversity of life seen today and throughout the fossil record. Many of those scientists are religious. Many of those religious scientists (probably most actually) are Christian and have no issue with the theory of evolution.

If you would like to prove that you do indeed understand the theory of evolution why don't give me a one to four sentence explanation of it in your own words?

I am NOT talking about the observable "evolution" whereby all animals (and plants) descended from the original kinds. I'm referring to the atheistic idea that there is no Creator and that life "just happened".

Ok. But if you believe that a horse can branch out to become wild a$$es, donkeys, zebras, mustangs, and so on then why not believe that horse-like animals in the fossil record, like Dinohippus, gave rise to horses? That seems like a logical next step doesn't it?
