The debate in this thread is ridiculous. It's a day of remembrance, and a symbol of the resilience of this country. So, in that vein:...
Happy Birthday, DD. I hope you have a wonderful day and year. And remember how those of us born in early September were conceived. It's 9...
The more accurate descriptions are more stable and less stable. The most stable molecules aren't always single atoms, but they are generally very...
I'm sorry, but I disagree. It's not pseudoscience (or science, for that matter) in my mind. It's physical observations that help confirm my...
That's the problem. The forces of chemistry work in the opposite direction. Natural selection in chemistry goes to toward the simple, not the...
Not at all. I don't know enough biology to even comment intelligently on that. And it doesn't really disprove that methane molecules randomly...
How long have we had rocks on this planet? 3-4 billion years? That's your answer. In 3-4 billion years, we have much evidence of simple...
I'm a chemical engineer. I exploit the 2nd law every day to make people's lives better. What do you do?
Sure there is. Hydrogen atoms combining to form DNA is probably beyond that. Even if the starting point is methane molecules, it'd be in that range.
But the second law of thermodynamics says that DNA and proteins and amino acids randomly become methane or if you get crazy lucky, oil. I can't...
Chemicals that can be observed to arise randomly are virtually all small, simple compounds, or long, random chains of small, simple compounds....
The Salvation Army?
You know a lot about chemistry, rhad. Doesn't it seem incredibly unlikely that DNA and RNA could have happened by chance? I'm not saying that it...
While we're talking about Texans' back-up quarterbacks with great college careers, we should be really happy that they didn't keep Jared...
You're missing out. Go watch Firefly and Serenity as soon as possible.
This doesn't count toward those numbers, but I watched it in Calgary on Friday, and the theater was maybe 1/4 full. It was a matinee, but it's a...
In the poll, Han Sol should read Han Solo. Can't edit.
This thread, and watching A New Hope this weekend got me to thinking. The two "Space Cowboy" characters are so similar that the comparison has to...
Really? The deeper I got into my study of science, the more I saw God in the world around me. I remember sitting through a lecture by Dr. James...
These were exactly my thoughts. I thought Jericho was the best show I'd ever seen, and Firefly was right there with it. I didn't see either...
