DNA- gods amazing programming

That's the ultimate kicker, isn't it? I have to agree completely here - not only from personal experience, but also based on what I've observed and learned from others' experiences, too. I'll admit that I'm very much like a rationalist/reductionist (but I wouldn't claim to be a literalist), though not for a lack of exploring other viewpoints. And, to a point, intuition does play a role in my perspective, although I'd be a fool to not try to seek evidence that may either prove or refute my initial reflections.

I love Colbert! He is brilliant so thanks for the compliment.

I'm with you on math and mathematicians. The elegance of math does not lie (though it can tell half-truths) and some mathematicians get such a grasp of numbers they can apply intuition like artists. And math is not literal but figurative and symbolic giving it more "freedom". It can be abused though - like for filling holes in theories. Solid Math + Fairy Dust = Dark Matter. In itself math can never be absolute proof of anything. Just shows one way the numbers work. That's why there are so many variations of String Theory. According to math our universe may have quite a variable number of hidden dimensions. Or none at all if it's a holographic projection!

When I speak of dogma I'm specifically referring to theories spoken of as if they are proven fact. I admit I have a bias against the scientific status quo because I was duped by it for too long. Discovering how much they assume and embellish regarding things such as dinosaurs, yet speak with such conflated authority, as if they saw them with their own eyes, really makes me sick. And they do the same with many other essentially unknown subjects. I was much younger when that hit and it was like discovering Santa Cause isn't real, or that your mother really doesn't know what the heck she's talking about! I hate being bullsh!tted or lied to and popular science is all about making you believe science has all the answers. This discourages kids from thinking outside the box, teaches them to accept the lies of authority figures without question, and limits human potential. Bad, bad, bad!

There are also aspects of theory that are not to be questioned. Not because they are necessarily beyond questioning but because they are so important as the foundation of other theories, or because so many scientists futures are at stake. The adversity Einstein and Tesla had to overcome are two big examples, but lesser figures have an even harder time being heard and the majority of funding will always find its way to project supporting the current paradigm.

And, I've gotta say, this bullsh!t of attributing everything to chance is so overwhelmingly prevalent in regard to evolution they may as well be invoking a god. To state that given enough time anything can happen is just belief in slow-motion miracles. It's attributing time with way too much credit, when the more we learn the less 'real' time becomes. Things like this really bother me. When I see young guys jumping on that bandwagon they may as well be joining a cult.

Creationism:

Instant, inspired, simple

Evolution:

Eventual, random, complex

This is how we know we are dealing with two extremes. The truth is always somewhere in between. We must overcome dualism to find truth.

The bottom line is we don't know nearly as much as the status quo would have us believe. Humans are intellectually lazy by nature so willing to get behind the ideas of another if it means they can think less. We find security in belief that we know how the universe works. Any way to hold off the scary unknown will do. And like a Christian finding security in their book the cult of popular science sells security to a new flock of sheep inspired by a new collection of incorruptible saints. No thanks...

Parasaurolophus worked the lunch truck and ornithimimus took coffee orders.

While the velociraptors planned the engineering of the hominidae group

Man do i hate those hominids

I Like Turtles!!! since they obviously created everything we can see and touch...you can find out more, just call 1-800-Go-Turtles and ask for Fred.

I called that number and some random grump answered and had quite a colorful vocabulary of words to shout at me :lol:

I think the questions lie in our own perspective, faith and science are a thin line bordering on each other.. one based on fact and the other belief. The thing I think Is misconstrued is the hazy thought of a creator. We know nothing of the proof just that we are alive and came previously from a set of other living things. But now the argument seems to be if an event is all thats needed for the birthplace of life, but its hard to phathom for some without an original piece of life starting it. Should that first lifeform be deemed god and granted the capability that is bestowed to him. Questionable. But we've evolved obviously to being the highest intelligence occupying gaia at the moment. I believe in a creation figure beyond mosts understanding i think. One firmly engrained in holistic science, but only unproven theory and dream, intuition if you will. Like some people had a hunch the earth was spherical before publicly accepted as flat, proven has later been disproven and reproven this is proven lol. Maybe the next step to finding a source of all energy is as simple as really taking a look at our basic needs and fundamental purpose. Evolution broken down further is really just a map of the complex energy transfer system which is the universe, with its controllers which are the galaxies that make it up and further controllers which are suns and planets, we honestly fall into a controller for the planet I feel. But again its more complex than that I do believe that the first bacterial life were to control certain elements by consuming and transforming elements if you will. I mean is it out of possibility that our planet in its infancy called upon a higher ancestrial energy source which could've been simple passed down to it in the form of a gramma ray or solar storm containing that secret chemical concoction to develop life? It could've been just like fertilizing an egg. I think as we develop as life forms basically our bodies turn into a more complex energy transfer system in itself. And this is where relationships form between life forms such as predatory parasitic and symbiotic. Simple life forms started such as bacteria. From there plants could control the bacteria and use them to feed ie promacrobial bacterial, simpler animals such as insects control plant matter and due to the greatness of mantids, eachother. while smaller mammals control Insects and plants, we control all of the below from the top of the chain. I do think as complex forms of life we've developed personality and morals that compliment our survival ratio. I think people should remember that your "spirit" is your life energy and energy is never destroyed, its transfered.
