Why So Much Dishonesty?

primordial ooze

**The idea that we all came from a common ancestor,
mainly amino acids floating in a bubbling pool or primordial ooze.


Wouldn't that be any Liberal group/mob?

Evolution

I apologize for all those supporters of evolution who may have said or implied the stupidity of creationists or intelligent designers. BUT...

I'm interested first of all in the distinction between micro and macro evolution. I've been following this debate to have observed that the distinction has only been introduced into the debate in the last, maybe, five years. Before then I never heard that distinction or that focus.

I will also say that the idea that life evolved from a primordial ooze is not necessarily a ridiculous idea.

There is a line of thought I want to suggest that you consider - and you might note that this has something in common with "The Market." The idea is this: that lots of people have been involved in making observations, both purposefully and accidently, over may years. Those observations have become known and scrutinized by millions of people over the globe. The ideas get tested, replicated, discussed, pushed through a sieve of inspection by millions of human beings. You can't really point to one person, such as Darwin, and blame him and believe that millions of people have just rolled over and accepted his conclusions.

The second line of thought I'd like to recommend is this: whether created by God or a big bang the material world was created with only certain possibilities, i.e., it had a certain structure and not millions of other potential structures, a certain amount of energy and not millions of other potential amounts of energy; and came to be separated into quarks with specific characteristics rather than a million other characteristics. Therefore, not anything could of happened. There were only a limited number of consequences that could proceed from the specific makup of creation. Life may have been one of those potentials from the very beginning. In fact, this must be so since life exists. We could be satisfied with the knowledge that creation held the potential for life and not even bother with understanding the thing behind the thing behind the thing, unless we want to.
