Evolution is often called a "mechanism" of nature (that's how I was told in school anyways). So let's compare it to a mechanical watch. Just for fun. Take a mechanical watch apart, put all its pieces in a box, and shake that box. No matter how long or how many tines you shake that box, the watch will never come out put together and functioning properly. Is there a chance? Sure, as the basic principle of probability is that there is [i]always[/i] a chance. But the chances are so small that its basically impossible. Same with evolution. Is there a chance? Sure. There's also technically a chance I'll grow wings in 10 seconds and fly away. But the chances are so small that its basically impossible.
Just a thought.

The clothes would still be wet though, so you'd have to unfold and dry them.

Good one

Hostile detected. Mute sequence initiated.

Go ahead mute me. I don't want to see your examples that are missleading here anyways.

I know right :D

So you went full retard? I could compare the sun to my mourning wood... Doesn't mean my junk will rise and shine for billions of years.

Edited by SSG ACM: 6/6/2015 5:37:42 AMDon't go full retard.

Lol OK Mr. Unintelligent. Have a nice and muteful day.
-
Lol. Something tells me you fear intelligence...because you have none.
-
He has muted like 20 people in the last 2 days lol
-
Thats not how evolution works evolution is powered by natural selection it would be like if you shook the box took out the pieces that fit together then shook the rest and eventually put everything together.
-
Yes but when you have billions of years of shaking then it fits together eventually
-
You don't have billions of years only millions.

Edited by SSG ACM: 5/7/2015 10:42:50 PMCan you not also shake things apart, and is not easier to shake things out of order than in to place? The Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates that anything left to itself is left to entropy, chaos, disorder, etc. Not only is this application applicable in Physics but also in societies. The analogy made it a point that the possibility is there, but the chances are so minuet that it is basically impossible.
-
Exactly you are correct. This continues the analogy. Randomly something can come in to being such as life itself and eventually it will be destroyed by randomness. The watch will stay together for some time before it is shaken apart.

Edited by SSG ACM: 5/7/2015 10:43:23 PMNot if in the first place the components of the watch are already apart. Just a thought.

Start shaking and document it. Prove it, and I'll change. Otherwise, I'll believe the more logical answer. Because sometimes the answer isn't the most complex answer. Its the simplest one, especially when the Ultimate Authority tells us the answer.

How so? How do you suppose we came into being? According to the faith of evolution?

Edited by Donkey_Hotay: 5/6/2015 10:29:58 PM[quote]the faith of evolution?[/quote]evolution isnt about faith. evolution is about evidence and observable events. it takes zero faith to support evolution. are you talking about humans or life in general? evolution tells us that in some point in history, humans and apes shared a common ancestor from which we evolved
-
Edited by SSG ACM: 5/7/2015 3:14:05 PMThen what is the origin of humans? Apes? And Apes? An ancient amoeba? Then what is the origin of that amoeba? Earth? Wait a sec. Earth is non-organic. So how does an inorganic material manifest an organic one. Yes, it is a faith, the belief in something not seen.

"...May Have Solved..." This article isn't even conclusive, and they only mentioned what everyone was already expecting: "Somehow molecules possessing the necessary ingredients for creating lipids, amino acids, nucleus acids, proteins..." We already know those exist and apparently those existed in order for them to create more finite ingredients. This is only a speculated article.
