I'm not asking you to believe in God, I am simply asking you to understand how God functions, before you decide to try and discredit Him.

i would be happy to hear how god functions if i have somehow misrepresented him.
by the way i am not argueing that evolution is right, (though i do personaly believe it is correct), i am simly trying to clear any misconseptions and misunderstandings about what evolution is.

Well read up on it friend and I await your answer. As I said, if evolution is to be possible (which I don't believe) then it has to be possible in any replicating system.

i've been open about this from the beggining, abiogenissis is incredibly complicated. and i simply don't have the patience to study it in depth.
i'm sorry but if you want an anwser to the origins of life question you are going to have to find it yourself. just wiki abiogenissis

but i'd like to point out that you are still ignoring one incredibly important aspect of evolution. for evolution to happen life is required, and inorganic matter is not alive and cannot evolve. your not asking for an explaination of evolution, your asking for an explination of abiogenissis, a completely different field of science. this is why the original experemant of this disscusion does not dis-prove evolution. evolution requires life. inorganic mater does not multiply. if it did you could leave a piece of metal on the ground and in time it would get bigger, but it doesent because inorganic material is made of atomes which don't multiply, where as life is made of cells which do multiply. inorganic material don't produce offspring, where as people, animals and plants do.

Re: Results of my 10 year evolution experiment REVEALED!!!!Must R

like i said before i don't fully understand abiogenissis but i will adress this as best i can.
for evolution to happen it requires life. now life started as single celled organisms, single celled organisms mulitiply through the process of mitosis. (i could be wrong about the name) the cell esensialy splits into two different cells through the process. this type of reproduction does not require multiple organisms to reproduce. that means that the cell with the mutation increases in number exponentialy.(1cell-2-4-8-16 and so on) but this is not how animals, and people reproduce. we cannot just suddenly split into two seperate people. we require another person to produce offspring, same goes for animals.

the point is that inorganic mater does not reproduce. life is made of cells, where as a car on the other hand is not made of cells. a car is not alive, it can't evolve.

once again i am sorry i can't tell you how abiogenissis works, it is just something i have little knowedge of. but the point still remains that only life can evolve, and a car is not alive. evolution has nothing to do with origins of life, evolution starts with the first life forms. (single celled organisms)

However I think you will find this is closer to reality here.

Re: Results of my 10 year evolution experiment REVEALED!!!!Must R

Friend,
At one point, by your theory, nothing was alive. Logically the processes allowing reproduction and natural selection must be a basic process and possible in inorganic matter. I believe your group's leader Richard Dawkins used a simple computer program to show natural selection in action. Obviously this process that musthave occurred on a molecular level if evolution is true and can be scaled up to something the size of a car.

Re: Results of my 10 year evolution experiment REVEALED!!!!Must R

you seem to be disregarding my first point. a car is not alive, and because its not alive it cannot evolve. cars don't evolve, they are created by human hands, and knowledge. plus, evolution ins't a animal/creature/lifeform suddenly turning into another lifeform. evolution works through small mutations in one lifeform that gets transfered to its offspring and then that offpring giving that mutation to its offspring, and so on. evolution dosen't happen if you put one of anything in a garage for ten years, because that is not how evolution functions.

Re: Results of my 10 year evolution experiment REVEALED!!!!Must R

Well let's take this a step further. How about if we repeat the experiment with a sub compact car, by evolution we should be able to find an SUV in the garage after ten years. After all car development is much quicker than biological development since it only took less than a hundred years to get from a model T to a Ford Dakota.

forth. abiogenissis vs evolution
just to clarify, evolution has nothing to do with the origins of life. evolution starts with life already existing and then examins how that life adapts (evolves). the origins of life has nothing to do with evolution. the origins of life is abiogenissis (please don't ask me about abiogenissis because i have a VERY limeted understanding of this. i basically only understand its seperation from evolution)

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.

Re: Results of my 10 year evolution experiment REVEALED!!!!Must R

the reason why this experimant failed to prove evolution, is because the experiment isn't based on any real evolutionary theory.

first. what you expected to appear.
a car can't be created from evolution because evolution is about life. (the evolution of LIFE) a car cannot evolve because a car is not alive. not one person that understands how evolution works would tell you that a car should of appeared.

second. evolution is not predictable in the sense that you stated. (specificaly expecting to see a car) natural selection is basically survival of the fittest. we can't predicte the mutations a species will encounter. i.e. one can not expect to see a car not only because a car is not alive, but there would be no specific reason that a car would be the end product of an evolutionary chain.

third. the duration of the experiment.
evolution takes millions/billions of years. ( i know that you believe the world is only 6-10 thousand years old. but im talking about what evolution is based on, which conflict with your beliefs, so please understand the context of what i'm saying) ten years is not a sufficiant amount of time to for something to evolve, it is an incredibly long prosess, much longer than ten years

forth. abiogenissis vs evolution
just to clarify, evolution has nothing to do with the origins of life. evolution starts with life already existing and then examins how that life adapts (evolves). the origins of life has nothing to do with evolution. the origins of life is abiogenissis (please don't ask me about abiogenissis because i have a VERY limeted understanding of this. i basically only understand its seperation from evolution)

God exists then yes, He is an artist.

I would have to agree, God is a magnificent artist. He paints in LIVING color. Praise Jesus

Re: Results of my 10 year evolution experiment REVEALED!!!!Must R

So are you saying God is an artist? Because that is something I could agree with. The way he put the earth together is absolutely beautiful.

If God exists then yes, He is an artist.

How did we get off on this art tangent anyway, how does artists creating art prove evilution?

My point was about using the "create" word even though I am an atheist.

Re: Results of my 10 year evolution experiment REVEALED!!!!Must R

Believe what you want about creation. I will do the same.

Artists are born with the gift of bending the shapes and dancing with the colors, of giving personality to otherwise cold and unnecessary objects, of modifying the sounds and images themselves! Artists CREATE art. But I don't suppose that anybody here is interested in philosophy so just skip the artist part.
