You should take an intro to biology course at your local community college or something. <br /><br />1) Hawking actual did a documentary about the very question you asked. I believe its called Curiosity and he would better explain it than myself.<br /><br />2) Bacteria is life, the "goo" (the wrong idea of how species arose altogether) would have created the bacteria that you're talking about so, no, the bacteria didn't exist at the time of the "goo". Also, look up RNA and learn that please.<br /><br />3) Again, you have no idea how life arose on the planet. Bacterium arose after small patches of RNA came together to form DNA that then evolved to "survive" or inhabit other environments eventually leading to the more complex bacteria which then created communities that also become larger, more complex, organisms.<br /><br />4) What you're trying to say is that DNA doesn't create diversity. It does. Its called mutation and new codes are added fairly often. Without mutation then there wouldn't be diversity and you would be correct. But mutation does occur so you have no idea what you're talking about.<br /><br />5) As a species, yes, we hold a higher cognitive ability to reason. But that arose out of thousands of years where we adapted to our environments not physically but mentally. We are better able to survive as a pack and, in doing so, began teaching each other survival techniques. These techniques were passed on from generation to generation and those who were best able to remember and learn that information were more likely to survive and pass on their genes. So, as time passed, we became increasingly intelligent as a species. This is also observed in some primate species where an older generation will teach a younger generation techniques for acquiring food. These techniques are also defined as "culture".<br /><br />6) Society and culture does set that standard. There have been societies in the past that have normalized things we would consider bad. You probably live in a culture where its bad to be gay or effeminate or any of the sort. Early Christians wanted to stone disobedient children in the town square and have slaves. They also felt that women were inferior to their male counterparts. So, over so many years, it has been despite the less than satisfactory beliefs of religion that we have moved to a society that supports equality because we, as a people, have decided on these rules by our collective values.<br /><br />Before trying to disclaim any intellectual I would recommend reading his or her material first.Bugaboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613763151237874914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286249026125283976.post-26655958209043413752011-09-20T12:38:38.903-05:002011-09-20T12:38:38.903-05:00Jonathan Francis:
Thanks for your kind words. Of...Jonathan Francis:<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words. Of course, those that have criticized me have accused me of not having the education and/or knowledge of this area. However, though I work in the technology field, it is in the technology field in the scientific sector. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm very well educated in chemistry, biology, and biochemistry. <br /><br />To put it mildly, it is difficult for me to believe the junk that academia is spewing when there is not one shred of scientific evidence that disclaims the Bible's the authenticity. If the evidence is interpreted properly, it will affirm the Bible's veracity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286249026125283976.post-75050358748635817662011-05-16T23:58:57.209-05:002011-05-16T23:58:57.209-05:00Mr. Francis
I agree completely with your comments...Mr. Francis<br /><br />I agree completely with your comments regarding Mr. Hawking's suppositions. The laws of geo-physics have proven Hawking wrong and actually support Almighty GOD as the Creator of the Universe. It's about time science came to its senses. Thank you, Mr. Francis, for your excellent dissertation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
