Give us your definition of transitional fossils teck, then we can discuss what and what isn't a transitional fossil
I can't believe how much this guy is brainwashed! Calling stanley millers espirement FACT? WTF?
How did you get to be so full of shit? After stanley millers exposure, NOT ONCE DID ANYONE TRY TO RECREATE LIFE. IF THERE ARE 1000's show me just ONE other experiment. why would any want to embarrass themselves the way Miller did?
Glockmatic said:it happened...so its fact
Millers experiment wasn't about creating life, it was about creating the building blocks FOR life. Rode, 1999; Hanic et al., 2000, Kobayashi et al., 1998, Miyakawa et al., 2000, Commeyras, et al., 2002 are examples of recent experiments
Sure, A movie about a flying man also happened, sure thats fact, Him flying is not, just science fiction. Concentrate!
Gee i didnt know that, Thanks for clearing that up,
Failed misrebaly in a single building stage of thousands. in a controlled environment and with the help of todays sophisticated technology. But but it takes millions and millions of years. Oh yeah? well obviously miller should have known that dont you think?
Glockmatic said:science fiction like angels and winged horses?
Talk about not making sense.
Yup exactly my point. They're both science fiction. Im happy you admitted that. And whats so far fetched about winged horses anyway? whats the difference between a winged raptor and a winged horse or should i say Unicorn? rofl
Incorrect. That is what the atmosphere had become around 3 billion years ago. It was cyanobacteria that began the initial conversion of the Earth’s atmosphere from an anoxic state to an oxic one, 3.3 billion years ago, allowing plenty of time for amino acids to form and propagate and life to evolve to that point. But when life was formed, about 3.8 billion years ago, the atmosphere was in fact full of methane and ammonia. Oxygen was not present. It hadn't been invited and didn't have a ride anyway. The geologists who figured the early atmosphere was 50-50 carbon dioxide and nitrogen used modern volcanic gases as their models for the early atmosphere. That was a mistake. They failed to take into account that the young Earth was made of chondritic material that when heated gives off the the types of gases that Miller and Urey postulated. Bruce Fegley and Laura Schaefer, of Washington University, showed this to be the case with research done in 2005. (I've even corresponded with both of them.) Anyway, the point is moot. Scientists today believe that early Earth’s atmosphere contained hydrogen, helium ammonia and methane. Not only that, but ammonia and methane were common around volcanoes and deep-ocean vents, so the whole atmosphere didn’t have to be like that.TecK NeeX said:MILLER'S ASSUMPTIONS: He used methane, ammonia, and water vapour in the experiment.
REAL CONDITIONS: Primitive earth contained carbon dioxide and nitrogen instead of methane and ammonia.
Incorrect, as I explained above.TecK NeeX said:Problem #2
MILLER'S ASSUMPTIONS: He assumed oxygen to be non-existent in the primitive atmosphere.
REAL CONDITIONS: Findings show that there was a huge amount of free oxygen in the primitive atmosphere.
The amino acids were in no way “isolated!” That claim is outrageous. In fact, a cold trap’s purpose is to prevent the introduction of a liquid or vapor into a measuring instrument from a system, not to isolate certain chemicals from others.TecK NeeX said:Problem #3
MILLER'S ASSUMPTIONS: There was a special mechanism set up to synthesize the amino acids in the experiment. This mechanism, called the "Cold Trap", isolated the amino acids from the environment as soon as they were formed and preserved them
REAL CONDITIONS: It was impossible for these kinds of mechanisms to have existed in nature. Under natural conditions, amino acids are exposed to all kinds of external destructive factors.
Since it happened, it's not impossible. God is what's impossible. And life didn't come about by chance or coincidence. Instead, a whole series of tiny steps, each one small enough to be a scientifically believable product of its predecessor, occurred one after the other in sequence. These tiny steps will occur any place where the conditions are right and the time is long. Over time, a minority of these steps will turn out to be slight improvements, leading to increased survival and reproduction.TecK NeeX said:Even if amino acids had formed, it is impossible for these simple organic molecules to give rise to extremely complex structures such as proteins by chance and produce a living cells.
Story, you need to go back and read teck's earlier replies to everyone, he pretty much covers your questions. Wrongly
...but he covers them. Oh, and he's Muslim so the Bible is pretty whack to him too. And the Quran, of course, mentions every worm in existence.Jokerman said:Incorrect.

Story said:No he doesnt, and no it doesnt. I am waiting for a direct response to all my questions.
He is the same person who told me Darwin is not longer taugth in schools and was disproven
He is an idiot, im done arguing with people beneath me.

Don't worry, creationist websites haven't got a hold of it yet and misunderstood it and twisted it into something it isn't, and then disputed their twist of it. So i guess your only recourse will be to say, "Well, that's just one study. Hasn't been confirmed yet by others."TecK NeeX said:I will look into this.
There you go with your chance again when i already said it wasn't chance. What's that saying? You can lead a horse created by evolution to water, but you can't make him drink it if it's teeming with early-earth protein molecules? Yeah, that's the one.TecK NeeX said:To say that proteins were formed by chance under natural conditions is even more unrealistic and unreasonable than claiming that amino acids were formed by chance. No scientist or evolutionist has even touched on this subject, and they prefer not to.
