Aren't lightbulbs a human invention that "speeds up" subatomic particles to the speed of light. Or if that's a bit of a recent invention, what about fire?

It seems a bit obvious that we have light emitting devices and that light travels at the speed of light.

Hello hackenslash! Where I say atheists, you can read atheist scientists, because that's who I'm referring to. Thanks for the opportunity to clarity. So, the pattern that I provided hackenslash demonstrates that atheist scientists do not even have a hypothesis on origin of life, species, proteins, stars, consciousness, encoding DNA, etc.

Hi Rumraket. Well, that's pretty close to what I said, I guess. What I wrote was that the ID community offers a mathematical method of demarcation.

Regarding "proof" of anything, have you ever had an atheist say to you that "proof" is only possible in mathematics? Ha! When I hear that, I ask if he can prove that mathematics exists? (Funny no? We've got a million of 'em!)

:)

That ID book is in my studio which is two miles from my home. However, we do discuss their mathematical method to identify design in the interview that I conducted with one of the Intelligent Design Uncensored authors, and it is archived on the Internet, so it's instantly available to anyone who is interested.

I'm curious. If I were to go to the studio right now and get that book, and type in the sentence or two with their mathematical method, would you be inclined to carefully consider it?

If so, I'll consider going out tonight and getting that book.

Thanks,

Not only would I be inclined to consider it, I would greatly appreciate if you could lead by example and show you understand how to use it on some given stretch of DNA or RNA sequence that I provide. Does that sound fair? You are, after all, the one advertising that this method exists and works. Surely you would not advertise for a method you don't really understand, and just mindlessly regurgitate it because the author of the method agrees with your religious preconceptions?

I'm being serious here Bob. I would really, really like to see the method utilized on something concrete. Let's explore the issue together, and test whether Dembski's method can really tell whether something was designed or not. You in?

Hi Rumraket! I grew up enjoying frequent visits to his museum not far from my hometown, and across the Hudson, and I began reading Gould in the 1980s.

I appreciate that you are a true believer, and that you have the courage to put your genome assessment in bold black and white.

Wow! That is courageous!

It's also going to come back on you.

Thanks,

p.s. Just thought of a question. If, like Dawkins, you become convinced some day that the genome is not mostly junk, do you think you will, unlike Dawkins, have the courage to acknowledge that a major argument against creationism that was made by you and virtually the entire Darwinist community was wrong?

Yes, of course. When I'm wrong I admit that I'm wrong and I subsequently change my opinion. As I'm sure we can agree, some things aren't true just because they say so in a scientific publication. So I do have to wonder why it is the ID/creationism community have so uncritically latched on to the ENCODE results. There seems to be some double standard at work there.

I reckognize that the sensationalistic claim that most of the genome is functional is a welcome news item to a religious believer. Nevertheless, you should, if you are intellectually honest and open minded, be just as skeptical about claims that confirm your preconceptions, as you are about claims that run contrary to them. I have seen no such balanced skepticism from anyone in the ID/creationism community following the ENCODE results.

That's because we're sending actual light. Light electromagnetic radiation. You seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that to be physical means being made of matter and having mass.

There would be nothing to read without the physical ink. Case closed. The letters and their shapes are concrete physical realities, they reflect and absorb light of specific wavelengths which is picked up by your retina and transmitted to your brain in the form of electrochemical signals. There is no magical immaterial realm anywhere in this sequence of events. We have computers that can read and understand, you think they do this by reaching into a realm of ghosts and extracting immaterial information from in there? :crazy:

Does it really? Which bit of 'scientists do' is failing to penetrate the fog of credulity here?

Isn't there something in your book of idiotic fuckwittery about bearing false witness? There's definitely something in the forum users' agreement, to which you agreed when you joined. Might be worth bearing that in mind.

Proof that confirmation bias is a powerful force. I'm firmly of the opinion that creationists are only creationists because they're insecure about their belief system, and not that far from giving it up. Like those who rail against homosexuality...

Hi Made of Stars! If you've really hit upon a deep psychoanalysis of the human being, then wouldn't you yourself be on the verge of becoming a Christian?

No, more of an analysis resulting from having been an evangelical Christian, and biologist. I watched others around me try to hold on to their faith, and do so while try to reconcile the facts with young earth creationism. They failed.

For my part, I was never a YEC, and wasn't much bothered by a billions year old Earth. The creation myth wasn't a big part of my Christianity. Ultimately, it was the wide range of other inconsistencies and nonsensical contentions that undid my Christianity.

You mentioned the problem of evil early on in your posting career here. Perhaps I'll address it in a separate post, but in brief, your position that 'suffering makes us appreciate the good times' (or something to that effect) is really quite puerile. It might provide succour to comfortable, middle-class white people, but is an offence against those millions and billions amongst who genuinely live miserable, short, brutal lives. If this is the rationale for evil and suffering, your god is a mean little man who needs to shrivel up and die.

Hello Rumraket. Thanks for marking "yes" for those of my observations that you accept.

Rumraket wrote:
Bob@RealScienceRadio wrote:- the origin of stars begins with the explosion of existing stars and with protostars

Bzzz. false. The first generation of stars formed after the big bang following big bang nucleosynthesis.


Of course I don't know how recently you have reviewed the standard model of star formation. In your comment, you have the timing correct, of when it is claimed that stars began to form. But if you investigate, you will see that the standard model, in order to overcome severe physics problems, begins with stars already in the process of formation (not unlike evolution beginning with life already in existence). That's one of the many reasons why we say that atheist scientists don't have a hypothesis, let alone a robust theory, for origins.

I wouldn't trust Wikipedia as far as I could throw its pornographer founder. But you can probably get a summary of the current model of star formation there. If you would like a handy list of the physics problems with star formation (which is why atheist scientists begin with protostars, or, alternatively, preexisting stars that explode to create a shock wave to compress gas into a protostar), here's one way to find it. Google: evidence against the big bang. Out of Google's estimated 24 million pages that relate to that search, my handy article is usually ranked on the first page, in the top five (just above howstuffworks and discover magazine). Search my article for "theories of star formation", and click. You'll see why the atheist hypothesis for the origin of stars begins with stars already existing.

Rumraket, this isn't really an opinion/conclusion thing. This is me simply quoting atheist scientists on their current theory for star formation. So, if I'm correct on this, please consider that my list of six observations needs another one of your "YESs", and then you might see why I characterize the media and the public as gullible to think that atheist scientists have figured out how to explain origins apart from our Creator God.

Rumraket wrote:
Bob@RealScienceRadio wrote:- the origin of life on earth is increasingly seen as seeded from already existing alien life
- the origin of the universe is increasingly explained by appeals to the pre-existing multiverse.

... Can you even produce any actual data in support of your claimed trends here?

Hmm. I thought that would be obvious. These topics came up in my interview with theoretical physicist (emphasis on the theoretical) Lawrence Krauss. You might enjoy listening to that. He became somewhat worked up during the conversation!

:)

Rumraket wrote:
Bob@RealScienceRadio wrote:This pattern demonstrates that many in the public

What pattern? You have not established a pattern, you have merely asserted it.

Well, for starters, I got quite a few "YESs" from you Rumraket!

:)

Rumraket wrote:
Bob@RealScienceRadio wrote:Consider also originating the process to encode a protein sequence onto a DNA molecule? Atheists have nothing and we can affirmatively know that they will forever have nothing in that regard

Really?

... What... do you think happens inside your computer? Ever heard about a logic gate? You think a ghost sits inside your CPU?


Rumraket, perhaps you can re-read my observation there. I don't know if you quite followed it. It's a powerful challenge to atheists. Fundamental really.

Oh, look at the time! I've gotta go to church!

Hello again ADParker! I don't think you understand the point. But that might be might fault. I'm sorry if my attempt to explain this point wasn't sufficiently clarified. I went back and added the following to that post, and clearly marked it as an edit.

[EDIT: The point being that if information were physical, we could not transport it at the speed of light. Ask a physicist if we can transport an atom at the speed of light? We can't. We can't transport carbon at the speed of light, not even hydrogen, in fact, not even protons. Because we *can* transport information at the speed of light, that is one way to demonstrate that it is not made of matter. You can't piggyback matter on photons and send them across the solar system. <end transmission>]

Hmm. I really didn't think I was equivocating ADP. I guess that you have so convinced yourself that information is physical, that you think when I'm talking about the chemicals in the ink on a page, I'm referring to the information on that page. I'm really not. Not at all. Of course, the chemicals are rather consistent from page one of von Mises' Human Action (he's an atheist, but wrote quite an amazing book), to page one thousand. The information on those two pages, however, is dramatically different, practically unrelated.

Realize that the information is contained in a symbolic code that is agreed to by the sender and the receiver. Like a capital A on your screen is represented by what value? In ASCII, if I recall, the number 65, in binary of course (and if things are as they used to be when I studied artificial intelligence at Arizona State University, where Krauss is now in the faculty, that's actually 5 volts for a 1 and half-a-volt for a zero). There is no chemical or physical property or reason why A must equal 65. It's an arbitrary code, as all symbolic codes are (that's the idea). The laws of physics include chaos and random behavior, yes, but not not arbitrary symbolic logic.

Hey, I have an idea. If you think that any of the laws of physics, or chemistry, or quantum mechanics, or gravity, or electromagnetism, etc., have symbolic logic functions, what don't you submit one for consideration.

Thanks ADParker!

OUCH!!!

Yeah, that Wikipedia stuff is hard to take! What's weird though, is that it is so over-the-top with wild accusations against me (primarily because I am a Christian creationist who opposed dismembering unborn children), that the stuff that really is true that I am ashamed of gets buried in all the crazy stuff, so that after 23 years on a 50,000-watt radio station, those in the audience who manufacture pretty crazy accusations against me have actually insulated me from the criticism I deserve, because it's too much work for most folks to figure out what is real vs. what is insane.

Oh yeah, and what's funny. The two times (years ago) that I tried to correct my page, not to make me look good, but to provide accuracy in the accusations against me, I had my hand slapped (understandably, because you're not supposed to edit your own article). What's hypocritical (and also expected), is that Wikipedia's founder and former porn trafficker, Jimmy Wales, has been caught repeatedly editing his own page, refusing to allow any description of him to include the word "pornography" and has instead chosen "adult content". Ha! Sort of like a physics journal I guess. Not really accessible to kids.

- Bob Enyart

p.s. Really though ED, I do love Wikipedia. You've got to be careful, and check the sources for anything that's especially important. But it is a fun site that has single-handedly (so to speak :) raised the level of education (knowledge possessed) for hundreds of millions of us! That I do greatly appreciate.

You'll find that most here are pretty well read on the topic, not least because we have several physicists and science educators among our membership.

But if you investigate, you will see that the standard model, in order to overcome severe physics problems, begins with stars already in the process of formation (not unlike evolution beginning with life already in existence).


Care to provide a citation for this? Only I suspect you've horribly misunderstood, which is what happens when you get your scientific information from agenda-driven morons and the backs of cereal packets.

That's one of the many reasons why we say that atheist scientists don't have a hypothesis, let alone a robust theory, for origins.


Two things wrong with this: Firstly, it's already been pointed out that we actually have several robust models on the tables. Secondly, you don't have a hypothesis, robust or otherwise. Magicmandunit is not a hypothesis, it's a rectally extracted blind assertion.

But you can probably get a summary of the current model of star formation there.


Don't need it, thanks. I'm fairly well-read on the topic, cosmology being my primary area of scientific interest.

If you would like a handy list of the physics problems with star formation (which is why atheist scientists begin with protostars, or, alternatively, preexisting stars that explode to create a shock wave to compress gas into a protostar),

Ah, vanity press. If you want your ideas to be considered here, present them here. I'm not about to waste time reading the contents of your arse if you can't even be bothered to present your ideas here. Do your own fucking work.

You'll see why the atheist hypothesis for the origin of stars begins with stars already existing.


Atheists don't have a hypothesis for the origin of stars, but feel free to keep trying this lying, weaselly shit. It simply won't fly here, Bob. This might work on the ignorant rubes who attend Denver Babble Church, but the critical thinkers here are made of sterner stuff.

Rumraket, this isn't really an opinion/conclusion thing. This is me simply quoting atheist scientists on their current theory for star formation.


You haven't provided and quotes, only your own assertions. Since this is a topic I'm more familiar with than you are with honesty, I require robust citations from the primary literature.

Hmm. I thought that would be obvious. These topics came up in my interview with theoretical physicist (emphasis on the theoretical) Lawrence Krauss. You might enjoy listening to that. He became somewhat worked up during the conversation!


Probably because he dislikes dishonesty as much as I do.

Rumraket, perhaps you can re-read my observation there. I don't know if you quite followed it. It's a powerful challenge to atheists. Fundamental really.


Well, since your observation boils down to no more than the assertion that DNA is a code, with the unspoken assertion that it therefore requires a coder, there's not much to deal with, not least because DNA is not a fucking code.
