Science vs. Creationism

The main difference between DNA and RNA is the sugar present in the molecules. While the sugar present in an RNA molecule is ribose, the sugar present in a molecule of DNA is deoxyribose. Deoxyribose is the same as ribose, except that the former has one more OH.

DNA or RNA? No matter the difference the fact remains that the complexity of both rule out blind evolution or evolution of ANY kind!

I would say a larger difference is that RNA is single-stranded, and DNA is double-stranded.

Complexity would be the expected result of a blind process.
 
How about abiogenesis then?

There is no standard model or reliable theory for how it happened; it may have happened more than once, in different ways.

In the lab, we're getting closer. We have created an entire genome from scratch, and put it into a cell.

I don't know if we will ever whip up an entire cell from scratch, when cells are already plentiful. I don't see why it would be undoable.
 
@ pearl.... I don't think Darwin used the word accidental in his book " The Origin of Species". You think by just throwing that word around helps your argument, but it only shows you know little about how the scientific world views mutations!!!

Also how did lungs evolve???

Scientist have seen evidence that swim bladders if fish used to control buoyancy, were modified through genetic mutations as a more efficient form of gas exchange especially with the abundance of Oxygen at the surface of the ocean!!

Also isn't it amazing that a single Zygote can multiply into hundreds of thousands of cells, each cell differentiating into a specific cell or group of cells that make up a complicated living system. Developmental Biologist have mapped out most of the pathways which differentiate these cells and the amazing thing is that certain genes that control the development of the head of a fly also develop the head of a mouse, but geneticist have mapped out where the mutations are that makes these two organism different!!!

I'm sure Darwin is rolling in grave over my replacing random with accident. I'm sure you Origin of Species thumpers will get rewarded for defending the faith when you die and go off to the place the "fittest" go when they have no longer survived.

The better question. Did lungs evolve? Only if you assume humans evolved from fish would you worry about looking for a way for the fish bladder to turn into lungs.

Only if you assume that a fly mutated its way into a mouse, or the head producing gene was passed down from a common mousefly-like ancestor, would you call differences in their genetic code a "mutation." Just because they both have a head doesn't mean that a mouse and a fly are related, especially since they are completely different creatures.

Yes the ability for cells to differentiate is AMAZING! What's even more AMAZING is that Darwinists believe these AMAZING abilities arose at random (by accident) and insist their belief is science.

...so your saying that if you take a box and put all the components of a Casio Data Bank watch in it.....shake it up a couple thousand times....you end up with a watch that will have 78 different functions working perfectly....79....if you want to know what time it is?

YES!!!!!!

The broken watch fallacy!



Haven't seen that one in nearly a long enough time.

...oh, the watch isn't broken! In fact, all the parts are in perfect running order! They're just not "assembled" yet.

But your saying that something way more complex than a watch came into existence and then continued to develop in such a way that resulted in all the living things we observe on earth today? So to satisfy your desire to move from "simple" to "complex" I give you this illustration:

When confronted with the astronomical odds against a living cell forming by chance, some evolutionists feel forced to back away. For example, the authors of Evolution From Space (Hoyle and Wickramasinghe) give up, saying: “These issues are too complex to set numbers to.” They add: “There is no way .*.*. in which we can simply get by with a bigger and better organic soup, as we ourselves hoped might be possible a year or two ago. The numbers we calculated above are essentially just as unfaceable for a universal soup as for a terrestrial one.”

Hence, after acknowledging that intelligence must somehow have been involved in bringing life into existence, the authors continue: “Indeed, such a theory is so obvious that one wonders why it is not widely accepted as being self-evident. The reasons are psychological rather than scientific.”

Thus an observer might conclude that a “psychological” barrier is the only plausible explanation as to why most evolutionists cling to a chance origin for life and reject any “design or purpose or directedness,” as Dawkins expressed it.

Indeed, even Hoyle and Wickramasinghe, after acknowledging the need for intelligence, say that they do not believe a personal Creator is responsible for the origin of life. In their thinking, intelligence is mandatory, but a Creator is unacceptable. Do you find that contradictory?

....is that complex enough for ya?

As long as you start with material for a million watches and can apply a selection process between every shake, yes, it can happen.

You can't set probabilities until you can establish dependence factors among all the different, contributing causes. Can you tell me how much dependence there is between kin selection and genetic drift, for example?

The whole thing is so very complex, just like you would expect is there was no design.
