  1. Stories like this; Apparently, having just been elected Pope, Benedict rang home to Argentina to tell his family. The phone was answered by one of his nephews, "Who is this ?" the nephew asked, "It's your uncle, you knob-head" came the Pontiff's reply.
  2. Here is a non-scientific article explaining things; https://www.theguardian.com/global/2015/may/11/water-weirdest-liquid-planet-scientists-h2o-ice-firefighters "Water breaks all the rules." EDIT; If you do answer don't expect any further reply, I am giving this thread a miss for a while, I am fed up of banging my head against a brick wall.
  3. FOX News publish this poll, Trump calls for their polling expert to be sacked;

    Russia

    The son of the CIA’s Deputy Director for Digital Innovation was killed last year, fighting for Russia in Ukraine.
  5. So now the Bible is a reliable source ? "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have" - but this does not say that you are free to ridicule and dismiss the genuinely held beliefs of others.
  6. I was merely telling a science fiction story. However ; 1) If the origin of life on Earth was not random chance, andt is not due to intelligent design, what other options are there ? 2) How does natural selection explain the creation of the first amino acid molecules ? 3) Chemical laws say that water should not be liquid at the temperatures it is.
  7. Quoting a book of fantasy and fairy tales ?
  8. If that is what you believe then fine, but I reserve the right to disagree - without having to bend over backwards trying to explain it to you. Please try to understand what we have been trying to teach you ; people might hold views contrary to yours, possibly based on Faith rather than "demonstrable evidence", but to them this is sufficient and you have no right to demand that they justify their contrary position to you, or to lecture them about their "illogical" standpoint.
  9. Your post asked for my opinion, I gave it. You cannot ignore or dismiss my answer. The above iis all in your opinion, and you are, I am ( not ) sorry to inform you, wrong.
  10. Try to imagine the following scenario; There exists an apparently infinite expanse, within which there are possibly billions of entities called galaxies. Each galaxy can contain many tens of millions of stars, and many of these stars are orbitted by rocky, gaseous, or icy planets. Now, in one of the smaller galaxies, spiral in form, at the edge of one of the galaxy's arms, there is relatively small star, orbitted by 8, ( some say 9 ), planets. The third such planet exists in an orbit just far enough from the star that water can exist in liquid form. The fact that water is liquid between 1 and 99 degrees centigrade is actually in defiance of what might be deduced, based on the thermodynamic properties of similar and related molecules. Subsequent to the establishment of liquid water on the surface of this planet, seemingly brought to it by asteroids long after it's original formation, and as a consequence of chemical and electro-magnetic interactions, some new molecules were created. These molecules began interacting with each other and in combination, after a long period of time, formed a complex association that became capable of self replication, and eventually became capable of growth, movement, and diversification of form. All totally down to random chance.
  11. So, not a series of electro-chemical and physical interactions between molecules ?
  12. Yes, yes, and yes. HTH
  13. How do your know you are thinking ? By what physical processes do you manage to do this ?
  14. 1) God doesn't need you to believe in Him, but he assured, He believes in you. 2) Faith is a foundation of religion, but not of the Courts, so your question was ridiculous.
  15. Wait for the rebuttal 😉
