Like creationists, who choose to believe a pack of lies. Others are fools by choice ... which are the most pitiable kind."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

I think I have said before, I will bet you that we do exactly that before your "savior" comes back. How much do you want to bet?
Now all Arvin Ash needs to do is produce a viable organism from inanimate matter ... Dredge writes:
Nobody cares what you dismiss.
... lest he be dismissed as just another delusional atheist bs-artist ... Dredge writes:
If you want to learn about all the action that IS going on in the field of abiogenesis, google it. ... all talk and no action."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

I'll be glad to discuss chemistry with you, ESPECIALLY organic chemistry. But that's a different topic. Start one. I dare ya.
ringo is not a biologist and so far, he hasn't demonstrated he has had any training in chemistry let alone organic chemistry. Kleinman writes:
Some compounds are more difficult to synthesize than others but in fact, organic synthesis is difficult to prevent. The problem is with side-products that need to be selected out.
If he had, he would know how difficult it is to synthesize even simple organic molecules, and that's under laboratory conditions. Kleinman writes:
Been there, done that. YOU are the one who is trying to divert the topic to abiogenesis. Start a new topic for that and we can run both at once. These zealots won't discuss experiments that demonstrate how descent with modification works..."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

I have offered to bet you that we will produce life in the lab before your "savior" returns. I'm willing to bet you $1.55 that humans will never ever produce life from inanimate matter."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had?

You've said twice that you were impressed by my attention to detail - so it's a little late now to start pretending that you're not interested in what I say.
What have you said that was interesting in any of your previous posts? Kleinman writes:
How would you know what I have in support of abiogenesis? If you're not afraid to find out, start a topic.
And why should I start a topic on abiogenesis where you don't have any experiments that demonstrate this? Kleinman writes:
But I HAVE been discussing that. Sixty-four posts in this very thread, and counting. And you've QUOTED some of them. Try to maintain at least a thin fiber of connection to reality. You won't discuss descent with modification when we do have experiments that demonstrate that phenomenon. And YOU are the one who is trying to divert the discussion to off-topic abiogenesis."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

And yet you keep replying.
Just because you are a nitpicker doesn't make you interesting. Kleinman writes:
They already know. Where do you think we get our information?
Tell it to the biologists so that AZPaul3 can have a chance to win his bet with Dredge. Kleinman writes:
And you keep replying to them.
Sixty-four posts filling space... Kleinman writes:
I don't think I've ever started a topic. It isn't what I do. Why don't you start a topic on abiogenesis? YOU are the one who claims to have the goods on abiogenesis and you claim I know nothing. Put your money where your mouth is."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong.

Do you understand the difference between "improbable" and "impossible"? The former is impossible... Unless the probability is ZERO, it is possible."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had?

One thing at a time. Are you going to take me up on my offer to school you in chemistry or not? While you're at it, give me a kindergarten-level in spelling.

Go ahead and show us your calculations on that.
The probability of life arising naturally from inanimate matter would be LESS than zero ... Dredge writes:
Correct. Are you that ignorant about probability? Ask Kleinman. I think he's smart enough to tell you the same thing I'm telling you.
ringo logic: "The probability of me winning the lottery one thousand times in row is not zero ... therefore it could happen." Dredge writes:
That depends entirely on the context. If the lottery is drawn once a week, it would take almost twenty years for me to win 1000 times. Certainly possible. But if the lottery was drawn once a year, it would take a thousand years. Not possible (but only because I wouldn't be alive. My numbers could still win). A statistical impossibility is a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. You don't have any basis for your claim about the probability of abiogenesis. Show us your calculations. What chemicals are you starting with? What end product are you shooting for?"Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

What do you know about the science? You admit that you're not even aware of the action in the field of abiogenesis. ... producing life from inanimate matter is a not only a scientific impossibility... All living things are made of chemicals. If the chemicals can be put together to make living things, it's ridiculous to pretend that it's impossible. Reality is not impossible. You're claiming that "you can't get there from here," which is a joke."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

Don't be silly. Dredge wouldn't recognize the word "stochastic" if it sat down beside him in church and helped him eat Jesus. What Dredge is saying is that the creation of life is not a stochastic process. Nobody is saying that abiogenesis is a stochastic process. Chemistry is entirely deterministic. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, there's a reason why we have H2O and not H9O. (And if you can figure out why I said "9", there's a cookie in it for you.)"Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had?

Dredge writes:
In case he does sit down beside you in church, how will you recognize him? And will the two of you fight over the tastiest bits of Jesus? Stochastic was a famous Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as the founder of Western philosophy and among the first moral philosophers of the ethical tradition of thought. He died in 399BC by being forced to drink poison (as a form of capital punishment). "Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had?
