Miller-Urey. Inorganic nutrients. Asexual reproduction. Did I miss anything?

Nope. I've always wondered why their failure of imagination and lack of curiousity in doing actual research should impinge upon those that do. How did ignorance become so glorified?

Jesus! For the last time it was the ALIENS! Remember the movie \"Mission to Mars?\" Just like that it happened! Yep. We're all the product of a dying race of martians dreamed up by some pot-smoking Hollywood writer. Fuck's sake.

It all \"decided to go plop\", huh?
Please go back to science class. Thank you.

Any questions?

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

The simplified versions of things are rarely accurately portray the real thing.
But this is really, really wrong.

Yes TRPL1, that is a pretty crazy \"bull-turd\" explanation for life on Earth. I also think its pretty sad that Fundies accuse science of being a religion, as if you could even put the two in the same category. We don't and you sure as Hell shouldn't.

\"I don't personally see how this could be true, therefore it isn't\" is called the \"argument from ignorance\" fallacy.
Evolution doesn't \"push God out of the picture\". It disagrees with Genesis, but that's not the same thing as denying God, except in the minds of certain sects like Baptists and Jehovah's Witnesses. But then again, astronomy, geology and physics disagree with Genesis, too; so just arguing with evolution doesn't help.

The fact is, we don't KNOW how life came to exist. We just have many interesting and sensible theories. Far more sensible than \"a big dude made us out of mud,\" anyway.
I mean, seriously. YOU believe that there was all this dust and for no reason some glowing old guy took it and made it into people. Why are our theories so unbelievable when you believe something like that?

Study a subject before attempting to debate it. And listening to your Pastor rant about it doesn't count as study.

\"This RELIGION is a pathetic attempt to push God out of the picture.\"
An anti-god religion? Is that even possible?

Ironically enough, earlier on in the post TRPL1 agrees with someone who says not to drag religion into the debate (which was about life on other planets). Doh!

I'm just happy that Hovindites only flourish online. Not in the real world.
Oh, hang on....

I would have gone to the dark side and taken her with me. *Evil grin*

Dust going plop? Rocks coming alive? Bacteria marrying each other?
