EricBess said:Having said all that, Mooseman pointed out that the supposition of a creator does not rule out the posibility of evolution. evan rejects this by saying that evolution cannot create life, but doesn't account for how life started, nor does he take into account the fact that if the building blocks of life were put into motion by a creator who understood the science behind them, then the "theories" become compatible after all...
Eric,
That was put very well. Thank you.
To Evan:
In 1953, Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey, working at the University of Chicago, conducted what is now called the "Miller-Urey Experiment." They attempted to recreate the atmosphere of the early earth (methane, ammonia, and hydrogen), placed the gasses in a glass vessel along with water to simulate the oceans. They used electrical sparks to simulate lightning discharges. At the time, scientists had estimated that the chances of molecules like amino acids forming was so remote as to be impossible. The experiment was a success. About 12% of the carbon had formed organic compounds. Two percent of the carbon had formed amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are not forms of life. However, the experiment proved that simple base elements can spontaneously generate amino acids.
So the science is possible, but no one ever said that there isn't some grand design behind it all, if there is, it seems that the scientists are the ones discovering that design.
Remember, science only tries to answer the question: How did we get here, not Why are we here.
