Scientists make molecules that evolve, compete, mimick behavior of Darwin's Theory

Response to questions from “ fun_size”

You made a statement about my faith being a feeling or emotion. It is not, I could explain
a feeling or emotion, I can not explain the Holy Spirit.

You asked two questions .
First is there a finite number of souls that will be redeemed . Don’t know and not relevant , as that is at the sole discretion of Christ
Any Christian who says he knows how Christ will judge man is a fool.
No one knows . We are but biodegradable worm food, the only redeeming quality of mankind will be his soul and spirit. I think Christ knows our soul. He knows both the evil and the goodness within us and whether we are worthy of redemption.
A harvest is just that, it culls out the bad fruit from the good ,but only Christ determines what he deems as good or bad fruit.
Comment.
Look at the history of mankind and the condition of man today. What percentage would you guess you would want to spend eternity.
We are consuming the earth like a cancer , we are making little or no progress in having piece between us, we spend more of our resources on killing each other then trying to reach out beyond this small island in this vast universe. How long can we as a species survive with the limited resources on this planet.
If there is no God we are as doomed as the dinosaurs.
I believe God created this earth to nourish and provide for mankind for a finite amount of time. Just enough time to meet his plan for man.
Based on everything I read about the environment and remaining resources we have that time may be about up.

you stated "Jesus Christ was God himself in human form?
No one has ever shown me where Jesus claimed to be God.
He did claim to have been with God prior to coming to earth . The oneness theology has not felt right to me.
Christ prayed to God his father. He told us to pray to God our father.
Most Christian theologians today have bought into a oneness theology I’m not sure why ,unless they wanted to make Christ God over God of the Jews. When I have questioned the bases, they always come up with some mysterious mumble jumble ,but very little based on what Christ taught or claimed. I hope I’m right or its not relevant to my salvation in the eyes of Christ.

My personal theology, I base on what was recorded as teaching of Christ and further explained by the disciples who were with him. What Paul taught was of the Holy Spirit, as he never met Christ.

Further comments on this post.
We believe we evolved from apes , and we may have , who are we to question Gods creative process. It would be like asking an artist to describe each stroke of the brush , mix of colors and texture in creating art.

This is very interesting...but scientists have been working on this for years. Nobel prize winner Harold Urey tested this and came up with the theory that life arose from a methane-ammonia atmosphere. So its very possible this can happen, in the right conditions. BUT geologists around the world say that historical evidence in rocks disproves this atmospheres existence and there is no evidence at all supporting conditions for this to happen.

A person I took to be an honest religious person, wrote me, to whom I wrote an earnest letter in return. I've copied that over:
______
Simply put, while you have been taught this stuff, and I am sure have had genuine spiritual experience, my constant lecture has been pointing out that the Universe (and most people can add up the presently understood information and relate to it), is so much more vast than the world-view that religions have relied upon, that the assertions made for "God" can not be real. Regardless of how clearly nor intimately you may have held your conceptions in your experiences.
The cosmological view held by religion, as to their God, is not found in the real universe. Surely the real Universe is the real God's work - or more precisely, these two ideas, God and the universe, are the same.
Where earlier people thought, and have taught their children, that as man builds a house and is within, God built our world and is within. However, in this case, God cannot be smaller than his house. The house and the creator are the same. If we look through the Hubble at any one point in the sky, we see thousands upon thousands of galaxies.
So we are here, on this one little ball, in this one little solar-system, in this one little galaxy, - inside billions of galaxies. This is the real flesh of God - (even though visible light shows but 4% of the mass that we can understand is there).
People may get a certain comfort with whatever we come to for our understandings - in your case it's this religion that you have been taught and that you have believed. But "God" is so - much - more.
It's beyond profound, and beyond astounding. Simply beyond.

"for god knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be open and you will be like God"
"the man has become like one of us."

I think its great that man are gaining an understanding of Gods creation, It draws us closer to his undeniable existence.

We have will have no excuses, because his existence is evident in his nature.

Man continues to gain an understanding of Gods creation and design for the miracle of life.

And heres even more evidence for evolution. Too bad the supporters of creationism are generally rabid evangelicals who dont believe in the hookus pookus magic called "science". Well unless its designing them a new computer or T.V.

Everyone posting on here should take a course in molecular biology before posting what they've heard in movies or read in magazines.
RNA is believed to be the molecular origin for life because, unlike DNA, it can self-replicate.
But energy and amino acids, as well as several other conditions are required for the process to occur. These scientists have simulated those conditions to better understand the fundamental aspects of natural selection, as the process occurs in real time.
This is exactly because we CANNOT make animals- it took >2 billion years for that to happen on earth. Maybe in our lifetime we might see scientists create a bacteria from scratch- but even that is a stretch.
When you hear about biologists 'cloning' an animal or working with stem-cells, don't forget that we already have a complete genome to work with (an animals DNA), so we are not 'making life' or anything strange.
What is amazing is that, as you can see in the video, the boundaries between what we consider inanimate molecules and life is so hazy.

I just read the plot summery.
That's exactly what DNA does. Total parasite that converts minerals - into fertilizer.
The big joke is only a minutely small section the chain makes the plethora of different animals, each constantly re-contributing adaptations, and in both males and females. These being stupid enough to think they are important individuals, each gaming to get laid and eat, etc - but really, they are only there in case an asteroid hits and wipes out a big percentage of species (which all are only there to carry the same chain in the first place).

Ya see, the joke is on us.

Watch the movie "Evolution" sometime, it's wicked cool and funny!

The little models in the picture are in blue and green. They should make them in red - so when their animals diverge, we'll be able to see how it eats the rest of us.

Maybe that's what happened to Mars. Whad-da ya think?

So they should be able to make a human, or at least some other animal right. And it will know how to do everything?

This language restates only fittest survive.

People have a series of cards in their play-book. The rules they use to go about decision making.

'Only fittest survive' is a good one to keep handy.

delia, you are awesome. good find as always

that's awesome.

It's believed that the first organisms on Earth were simple RNA strands that began to replicate and evolve. It sounds like these experiments could have strong implications for understanding the origins of life on this planet.

:S too scary for me to wrap my mind around

Yep, well there you have it folks, more proof of evolution.
