Quote:The time scale is irrelevant.  This is another example of falsely invoking the law of large numbers.  It's not a matter of 1 year or 1 billion years, you're not going to find a hydrogen atom with 6 neutrons anymore than you are going to find a set of amino acids on there own developing into a living system capable of cellular mitosis.  The actual science is so sure that this doesn't happen that they have codified it in the law of Biogenesis (that all living systems come from previous living systems.)

 

In a way, you are anthropomorphizing inanimate organic molecules.  A scientist can see whats more beneficial to create a living system because he knows what a living system would look like.  In the case of the inanimate organic molecule they don't care what would be more beneficial.  their not seeking out a food supply or a mate.  the only thing driving inanimate matter is the universal trend towards lover energy levels (entropy).  So if you want to take the time and write out individual equations to demonstrate the biochemical reactions necessary to get from amino acids to a living cell individually and demonstrate how they would happen spontaneously without intelligent interference then please go ahead by all means.  I and the nobel committee are waiting with baited breath. 

 

Otherwise you're invoking the concept of evolution and the age of the earth like a ron popeel commercial "Just set it and foget it" to make a living cell.

 

Your arguement about a hydrogen atom with 6 neutrons undermines any authority you have about the knowledge of the subject.  1.  An atom with 6 nuetrons is CARBON, not hydrogen!!!!

 

Sheesh!!

 

Hydrogen becomes helium during the fission process that occurs in stars.  Things happen over a large scale of time.  It's the way the universe works.

 

Come on man...  You know that.

 

The ron popeel theory...  I like it...  Because at the end of the day, if you took the time to pay attention during your college sciences, you'd know that these laws are what govern the universe.  And life has occurred naturally though those processes....  You may not like it.  But the universe doesn't care.

 

If you want to look for a creationist slant on it, I'd suggest concerning yourself with who created those laws.  There's why you can find some spriituality.  At least that's my thoughts on it.

I'm not sure how one can discount how via a large amount of time things can occur.  Theoretical physists have verified as such.  You may ignore time, but scientists don't.  As for me writing equations...  i am not so in love with myselfthat I will come on this message board are write large posts that bloviat about things I am not a PhD in.
