So according to creationists, we're supposed to believe that their god
is such an appallingly inept designer that he cannot think of a less
wasteful way to create an organism!
So let's face the facts here. In the dichotomy the creationists
insist upon, either there's no designer and there's just evolution, or
there's a designer who is a moron. Is your god a moron?

Maybe you can tell us how the FIRST DNA arrived spontaneously out of
the atmosphere so further DNA could be had ? The worlds foremost
expert on DNA, Dr. Francis Crick (Biologist AND ATHEIST) wrote in
his book that the probability is 10x40,000 th power . You dont have
that much faith im afraid . So, how come its imperative that God not
exist in your personal life then ? Any by the way, there is no such
thing as 'junk DNA' --- what you call 'junk' has a purpose too .
Stop playing the charade of not wanting God to exist...youre playing a
very dangerous game with yourself.
Well, THERE you are. I was wondering where you had gotten to..
Because, as you remember, you owe me an answer: which
physical constant is it that you claim we know to 120 decimal
places?
You may place your answer here:
Or, cowardly, you may flee the question once again,
for the fourth or fifth time.

Fascinating! "IllBeBauck" knows the answer
to this most puzzling genetic conundrum.
So tell us, what IS the purpose of so-called
"junk" DNA?:
Conan
Its the Cosmological Constant which is to 120 decimal places critical
tolerance . Heres another by Prof. Stephen Hawkins : The Universe
expansion rate is to within a 1/1,000,000 critical tolerance . Your
faith in no personal Creator is tremendous...in fact, impossible .
How come you want God to exist ?
Evolutionists explain that life started from non-living matter in some
sort of "primeval soup." Over the years, they have presented several
scenarios of how this might have happened. They have suggested
isolated ponds, pools of water on the sides of volcanoes, and in the
oceans. Let's consider the general mathematical principles involved in
any of these scenarios.
In science, the person who proposes a theory is supposed to present
the evidence for that theory. Yet, for the incredible claim that life
sprang into being out of non living materials, no evidence is offered.
Just how incredible are evolution's claims about the origin of life?
Given the conditions evolutionists claim existed at the origin of
life, the chance of evolving the simple, common, iso 1 cytochrome "c"
protein is one chance out of one followed by 75 zeros. But that's not
a living, reproducing thing. Given the same conditions, the chance of
getting a DNA molecule with the ability to reproduce is 100 billion,
billion to one. The chance of getting a minimal cell works out to one
chance out of a 1 followed by 4,478,296 zeros!
Rigorous examination of evolution's claims about the origin of life
shows that every evolutionary claim about how life started is just as
fanciful. As every believer has testified, God is the source of all
life, including yours and mine. It has always been so and will always
be so.
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, I thank You for the gift of life and
eternal life. Amen.

WHAT?
BWAHAHAHAHAHaHaHahahaha...<wheeze> <gasp> <glurgle>
The value of the Cosmological Constant is NOT KNOWN
AT ALLl, let alone known to 120 decimal places. It is currently
a matter of great debate -- and great interest -- in
cosmology, but so far therre is only speculation
and attempts at setting limits.
The value of the cosmological constant is an
empirical issue which will ultimately be settled
by observation; meanwhile, physicists would
like to develop an understanding of why the energy
density of the vacuum has this value, whether it is zero
or not.

Know something? I don't believe you (in the light of
the above, I'm sure you can understand why). I suspect
you read something somewhere, sort of remembered
it, but really have no idea what it was about.
Here: prove me wrong -- show me, using Hawking's
exact words, what he said:
Haiku Jones
You seem to have a lot of undocumented numbers. We suspect that you might
be one of those "liars for Jesus."
And, given this "logic", we can prove you do not exist: your
DNA contains three billion base pairs; if one of these
were different, you would not be you. Therefore, the
chance that you actually exist is 1 followed by 3,000,000,000
zeroes. Clearly, you do not exist.
Does this give you any clue as to what might be
wrong with the above 'logic"?

Ok... the moon is located some 865,000 miles from earth, yet provides
just the right tides EVERYWHERE on earth to prevent stagnation of
large
bodies of water which would lead to a high unacceptable level of
bacteria and parasites detrimental to our health. Its gravitational
pull on the earth is just right even though its nearly a million
miles
away. Its orbit thru space is just right for its actions to
continually
benefit earth and its inhabitants. ANd, its size is just right to
provide the right sustaining condiitons on earth.
> Evolutionists explain that life started from
Get your terms right, idiot. Evolution does not attempt to explain the
origin of life.
There are beliefs, backed up by a recent meteor strike in Australia, that
the building blocks of life came to us via an asteroid. The meteorite
found in Australia contained amino acids. Although this is far from being
proven, it's way more believable than your creation bullshit story.

Didn't Albert E, say somehting to the effect that both the Universe
and human stupidity are infinite..
I offer up Freaky Lee, Puke, Gabriel, and Dimwit Dave as proof
positive of that statement
His actual quote: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human
stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe"
Just in case anyone is interested in this scientific topic, (the 10^-120)
Einstein produced equations which seemed to suggest that the universe would
expand for ever. At the time, that was thought to be daft so he put a
constant into the equations so that they calculated a steady universe.
After a few years, it seemed that the universe was actually getting bigger,
so the constant was removed. More recently it enjoyed a rebirth and they
put it back in again, but there is a lot of argument about how big it is.
It's actual value, and whether it is positive or negative, affects whether
the whole universe will expand faster and faster for ever, or whether it
will slow down and collapse into a big crunch or whether it will expand
slower and slower and stop after an infinite time.
However as more becomes known by observations, and more theory is produced,
it was becoming to look as though it is an extremely small negative number,
only just not zero.
The 10^-120 refers to a value in Planck units which are so small as to equal
the smallest possible number which is not actually zero, so do not bother
too much about the actual value.
Now it is fairly plain that a constant which keeps changing is not very
constant and it is dangerous to conclude that it proves God exists as non
scientists claim. But there is more.
Firstly a lot of people remember their physics lessons and know how hard is
is to measure things accurately. They reckon that the measured value is so
close to zero that it might actually be zero. That of course is accurate to
an infinite number of decimal places, much more accurate than a mere 120
decimal places, yet by the non scientists' argument (which is garbage
anyway) disproves God entirely.
Secondly, it is an unfortunate fact that string theory requires a constant
of zero, so all bets would be off if anyone could think up an experiment to
falsify it, and it failed. So the latest is that the constant is looking a
bit likely to be zero. It is a bit dodgy to place faith upon. Don't worry
though. The non scientists will come up with yet more nonsense, because the
human imagination and stupidity knows no bounds and of course there is money
to collect in the plate next sunday.
For anyone who can not be bothered to get all that, I will make it simpler.
The fine tuning point is the current version of the original proof that God
must exist:
because the world can not possibly be old enough to evolve animals because
if it were old enough it would be frozen solid.

Wow! What a solid, scientific and bullet-proof argument! I am literally
running to the nearest church to offer burnt sacrifices to your god
before he smites me for being a former atheist.

And then when it was discovered that the universe is actually
expanding, Einstein described this as the biggest blunder he ever
made:

And you support for this is? Oh, that's right, you have none. You
just pulled this right out of your dumb ass.

The constant was a pure invention to make the equations work you
ignorant jackass. It "controls" nothing. Get an education before you
have people laughing themselves into a hernia.

Totally unsupported bullshit. Why isn't that a surprise?

So what about 10^-121? That's a smaller number. I guess you've just
been proven a LIAR. Why isn't *that* a surprise?
Are you tALking about Planck length:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_length
or the Planck constant:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant
neither of which makes any mention of 10^-120 from a quick glance, so
why don't you go get an education then come back when you actually
have something evenr emotely interesting or original to say?
Rest of your inane bullshit flushed where it belongs.

Oh dear, several people seem to have completely misunderstood my comments.
It is as expected of course because the subject is quite beyond, say, O
level physics.
Incidentally, you refer to my comments as bullshit. Another respondent, who
I suspect understood even less of my post than yourself quoted the old
favourite of non-scientific people about 'Einstein's great mistake' which
appears to be about the only thing they actually know about science.
If you and other respondents would actually like to know something about
this subject I can point you to a decent aricle about it. However I should
warn any readers that it assumes a high school knowledge of mathematics -
which is sorely lacking around here. You will be able to see from the URL
that it is not an idiot's site. If you do not bother, remember in future
that it's value determines exctly what I said it determines, and is not
bullshit. Do not swear and give abuse in future when you do not know what
the Dickens you are talking about. I would suggest that religious people
look at it as well because it is interesting, but not creationists - nothing
there for them.
