Do you know anything about the rate at which evolution occurs? WHY don't you believe all of this evolution could have occurred in this time? Speciation occurs on a daily basis with highly hybridizable plant species. So if plants can evolve into a new species literally within one generation, a new species that is fully capable of reproducing, and hybridizing with other similar plants, thereby increasing the number of possible species that can be created by its offspring, why can't a similar event have occurred on a greater scale than these hybrid rings? A large-scale event where speciation was rampant and new species were evolving left right and center? Oh wait... that was the Cambrian explosion... Where we see a tremendous increase in the diversity of life on the planet, one of those instances of punctuated equilibrium i mentioned earlier.

Your concept of a being built of fundamental energy is beyond my realm of opinion. I don't think it would work, but I'm not sure.

But I'm not sure I'm ready to trust your opinion on the evolution side, creationresearch doesn't necessarily sound like a resource I would cite for a biology paper.

We can and do simulate protein folding on computers, though it does take an immense amount of processing power. People in the field suspect it will lead to major breakthroughs in Alzheimer's and Huntington's very soon. A friend of mine who is doing his PhD in Genetics at UBC passed this link along to me in the summer: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2009/06/15/what-is-folding-a nd-why-does-it-matter/1

The essential matter from which our universe is created is energetic matter. It behaves like living matter, creating every known entity, including living objects and even thought (which occurs through energetic matter–wave interaction). The essential structure of energetic matter is high-energy (concentrated energetic matter) electro-magnetic waves (picture above). This simple structure is the basis of everything: every energetic formation and the universe. In picture 2, we see that the DNA (double helix) of all living formations has the same structure as waves: two loops of the same energetic matter, behaving according to the same rules.

Wave theory suggests that inorganic and organic creations are one entity of nature (see picture, below). Perhaps, the result of the energetic activity of hydrogen and oxygen creates water on our planet. It may be that the Earth alone can continuously create life formations. This process is very delicate and may be easily spoilt. Nature has worked for millions of years to generate the myriad of links in this symbiosis. We must try not to change this unbelievable, beautiful, ingenious creation, but must only attempt to discover, study and appreciate it. Energetic matter creates structures beyond our imagination; our planet is, perhaps, only one of these creations. On other planets, living formations may have other shapes.

This is a long way from knowing how life comes about, but it's interesting.

Speaking of proteins, have they yet decided how viruses came about? The last I heard they weren't too sure except that they were self-contained strands of RNA.

Various enzymes within the cell are charged with regulating this entire process. The enzymes collaborate to maintain and supervise the internal mechanism that controls the absorption and expulsion of energy in the body. However, for various reasons, this system is occasionally skewed by a defective enzyme, or by a DNA molecule that fails to disintegrate and gets stuck in the metabolism. The trapped DNA attracts superfluous amounts of energy. Consequently, it is stronger than normal DNA and begins to usurp all the energy from its vicinity, which disrupts the normal cycle of the metabolism. The super-energetic DNA and its attendant cell mechanism lack the ability to revert to their normal formation, and the DNA begins to expel energy by replicating into other highly-energetic strands of DNA. As expected, these strands align into a closely linked network of highly energetic chains that resembles a ball of yarn. On account of their abundant energy, the chains are now able to penetrate the lymph and blood vessels, where they hunt for rich sources of energy and cause extensive damage. Furthermore, the super DNA chains continue to metastasize, and the new chains also join in the hunt for energy.

This deadly cycle, then, represents the outbreak of cancer. The reckless DNA chains continue to swallow as much energetic matter as possible. Moreover, the excessive levels of energy prevent the new DNA from undergoing differentiation. It resembles a very “primitive” entity, such as a black hole, as it creates and then expels other primitive — yet extremely virulent — virus-like entities that similarly resemble black holes. The only objective of a maverick DNA is to wrest control over as much energy as possible from its surroundings in order to continue to exist, but ultimately its lethal attack on its host brings about its own demise as well. This stems from the fact that its sole function is to wipe out organisms that fail to adapt to nature (natural mutation and natural selection). If the body fails to assist in the “rehabilitation” process, it will be destroyed as well. The intensity of the aggression obviously depends on the particular area of the helix in which the enzyme was damaged.

This is a long way from knowing how life comes about, but it's interesting.

FUCK YOU ALL YOU DUMBFUCKING MORONS WHY THE FUCK DO YOU EVER REPLY TO DENNIS TATE ANYMORE PLEASE STOP SPAMMING HIS THREADS BECAUSE THEY ARE ENDLESS THREADS OF DUMBSHITTERY.

Thank you.

This from the guy who irrelevantly posted that hippotrauma drawing but actually took the time to repost it? Whose basic reason to be here is being a wiseass?

Some people post things by accident, others do it on purpose. While I don't follow most stuff here either I'm not sure you can claim superiority here.

It must be tough to be on that time of the month.

I don't get it, what does that joke mean. Is this to do with rent time? I hate rent time.

It suddenly makes sense to me that you run the video game society.

The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

Before his near-death experience, Rev. Howard Storm, a Professor of Art at Northern Kentucky University, was not a very pleasant man. He was an avowed atheist and was hostile to every form of religion and those who practiced it. He often would use rage to control everyone around him and he didn't find joy in anything. Anything that wasn't seen, touched, or felt, he had no faith in. He knew with certainty that the material world was the full extent of everything that was. He considered all belief systems associated with religion to be fantasies for people to deceive themselves with. Beyond what science said, there was nothing else.

It must be tough to have no self-control.

Ah, ok. I see where you're going. I thought the whole thing had to do with the start of evolution somehow.This from the guy who irrelevantly posted that hippotrauma drawing but actually took the time to repost it? Whose basic reason to be here is being a wiseass?
