Who is this "we", you speak of? I always find it amusing when young earth creationists who have contributed a total of absolute nothing to science have the audacity to assume the mantle of scientific achievement (something they do with ridiculous regularity). YECs have no idea what the phrase "how DNA code is read" even means.

The absurdity of belief in a 6,000 year old world in the presence of billion year old starlight is beyond embarrassing. It is an indictment of a hopelessly crippled thinking process.

This is particularly meaningless. Good job.

No thanks. Some people are just unteachable and incapable of debate, and you are one of them. In fact, you're too incompetent to even understand that you're making an argument based on shitty application of probability, e.g.:

That isn't a fact. The microbe to man via genetic copying errors and selection is devoid of facts. It is religious dogma.

I said as much. It doesn't matter. Scientific leaps of faith are what hypothesis are all about. Then come the laws of physics and chemistry to see if blanks can be filled in. Where the processes of the actual original appearance of life on earth can never be witnessed to affirm them, scientific reasoning can be applied to speculate logically as to possible scenarios. Because mystical origins of life have nothing to do with science, science dismisses them and concludes that if something is it got to be that way via the known or unknown laws of the universe. All surmises, however, will exclude magical processes because none have ever been needed to solve any of the other countless mysteries science has demonstrably solved.

You just got through saying; "Quantify that. Your point requires this and just asserting it isn't enough." and yet you do this all the time. You simply state opinions without your reasons for them. Reasons based on faith are fine by me but they are not arguable as fact because they have no appeal to minds raised without prior indoctrination.

And besides, before the bigots took over, everybody on the planet knew the important deity was the Earth Mother. Nobody gave a shit about who the father was. You're probably on the wrong side of that one too. ;)

No great coincidence nor mystery he'll be as convinced by this as you are by basic history that contradicts your most fervent beliefs.

Has anyone brought up the human chromosome 2 yet, vis-a-vis great ape chromosomes 2p and 2q? This one is the killing masterstroke; anyone who sees that and isn't convinced is deliberately and willfully rejecting stone-cold hard reality.

It's like seeing two cars smashed front to front and saying "How odd, cars in this town have 8 wheels, 2 engines, exhaust pipes at both ends, and a lot of broken windshield glass." There are degenerate runs of TTAGGG (telomeric sequence) in the middle, there's the rusted-out hulk of one of the centromeres partway down one of the arms...

Id be curious to know what buckshat does for a living. If we had people in any job i've ever had, who were as consistently wrong about everything as buckshat is, they would have been let go long ago.

I'm going with Weatherman. They can be wrong everyday and still keep their jobs it appears.
