More evidence against evilution: Herbicide-resistant weeds

From the JYT:

U.S. Farmers Cope With Roundup-Resistant Weeds

* * *

Just as the heavy use of antibiotics contributed to the rise of drug-resistant supergerms, American farmers’ near-ubiquitous use of the weedkiller Roundup has led to the rapid growth of tenacious new superweeds.

This shows what nonsense the monkey-worshipers' dogma is. We're supposed to believe that random mutations allowed the weeds to become resistant to Roundup. How could random mutations possibly know the chemical structure of Roundup? Besides, everyone who has been home-schooled through the eighth grade knows that mutations always result in a loss of information, never a gain. The only reasonable explanation is that God intelligently designed the weeds to be able to resist Roundup, so that farmers would put their trust in Him rather than modern science, as He commands:

Lev. 26:3-4: If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

It's your funeral, evilutionists.

Aye, those secularist farmer was literary reaping what they have sowed. God decreed weeds for their fields for their sins of tolerating abortion, homosexuality and public utilities in their communities and did they repent of their sins? No! They defied the Lord and resorted to foolish mortal science. Well God is not mocked sinners so God created the super weed. Now were is your chemical weed killer farmer?

Re: More evidence against evilution: Herbicide-resistant weeds

Absolutely right, Pastor Peters. The scienticians are saying that the "genes" from the Roundup-Ready plants are contaminating other plants through "cross-pollination".

It's like racial mixing, it is. Miscenegation!

For that matter, why does grass continue to grow? According to the evolutionists, the grass should "learn" from being mowed every week and stop growing.

Checkmate again, Darwinistas!

Less spraying, more praying! These farmers need to stop killing the weeds that God sent to them, and learn how to make food out of thistles etc.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat....
31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good -Genesis 1:29-31

Note that fungicide is okay because only herbs that bear seed are from God. Mushrooms weren't made by God, which means they must be the work of Satan. Maybe this needs it's own thread?

Well our Government has banned RoundUp in order to please the tree hugging hippies. Now dandelions have taken over the parks and most peoples yards. I'm trying to make due with "green" products, but "green" just means you've wasted your money on something that doesn't work. My roses all have spots, weeds are taking over and my beautiful yard has become a weed infested swamp.

But I guess as long as the hippies are happy, that's what's important. I'll be talking to the inlaws and seeing what farm chemicals they have that I can smuggle in.

Weeds prove God exists 100%. If not for weeds, we would have perfect lawns. We wouldn't know that imperfect lawns existed. God is perfection, but if not for imperfection we would not be able to acknowledge perfection.

If evilution were true, all lawns would be perfect by now. Heck, evilutionist scientists say the earth is something like 1000 billion zillion years old. Surely, we would have perfection by now.

But the fact is, it has been less than 10,000 years, so even if evilution were true, there hasn't been enough time to be perfect.

But evilutionists want it both ways.

Good evidence. I'm gonig to look into this.

Re: More evidence against evilution: Herbicide-resistant weeds

It seems like modern agriculture is an abomination in so many ways. The Bible refers so often to slaves and a society clearly delineated by class. That obviously is the way God preferred to see the world organized.

Now, modern agriculture has destroyed use of the hoe, and the lower classes that used the hoe. God wanted the lower classes to hoe weeds, not watch while the wealthy farmer spays Round Up on his crops.

Roundup Pffft.... I'm about to napalm my front yard.

I stupidly gave my wife some money and told her to go nuts at the garden store. She brought home Shasta daisies and English Ivy. I can tell you that this is a mistake I will never make again. The daisies have taken over the one garden and now popping up in my lawn. I kill it off with Roundup and it just pops back up 5 feet away. The Ivy is another one that is un-killable. It's moved onto the neighbors yard and while I'm trying to kill it on my side, the neighbor is doing nothing, so it just creeps back over.

Genesis 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Doesn't say anything about the wifes poor choices.

How could random mutations possibly know the chemical structure of Roundup?

Because any weed that didn't have the mutation died when exposed to Roundup, so only the ones that had it were still around. It didn't have to know the chemical makeup. It just needed to produce a protein that counteracts the weedkilling agent in Roundup on the chemical level, perhaps by neutralizing it.

Where did these magic weeds come from?

I find myself hesitant to respond, as the last question I answered has earned me a warning, but I believe it would be impolite to ignore someone who has spoken to me.

They were the results of mutations. mutations aren't strictly a loss of information, just a change. Certain plants mutated when they produced offspring, and one of the mutations happened to be better at surviving Roundup. So those plants survived, and so did the mutation. eventually, all plants in the field that did not carry the mutation were dead, leaving only the resistant strain.

<atheist gibberish removed>

Don't be silly, there is no such thing as "mutation".

I think you've read too many science fiction novels, friend. How about picking up a Bible and learn the real truth behind God's creation instead of this atheist nonsense?

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.
