Well, I don't think i have OCD, but i used to show mild symptoms of OCD, (like always tuching doorways while walking through) i got over it by obsessivly doing something else, like twiddling my thumbs.

I just cannot rationalize the "compitition of the molecules" thing, and i cannot think of how random mutaions can kickstart life, I mean DNA says nothing unless you have a language to speak it in. the probibility problem every other process in nature does not rely on "chance" The accretion of mass into protogalaxies for example, random chance I think not accretion of dust and gas in the solarsystem random chance, again, no, also the ability of mechanical systems(like water in a bathtub) automatically find equalibrium random occurances? no Physics the universe is chock full of examples of things automatically getting more complex, and "finding" equilibrium all on their own. life, in all this confusion (according to darwinian evolution) is the odd one out. Controlled by random chance, and enviromental constrictions only? I cannot honestly belive that. Yes I am well aware of the lack of conclusive evidence to promote this theory, but just look at life, can you honestly say that it is just a one in a 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 chance occurance? and the mysterius nucleolus, with its protein factory, what does it do in all of this? What i "believe" is Proteins came first, they float around etc. (im going to call them scribes) so, these scribs, float about all lazy like, and then, all of a sudden BOOM the temperature changes, and so does the scribes shape, now the new shape allows nucleotides to fit in the "creavaces"(sorry for the spelling) and attach to each other in a certain order lets say temp goes up----->scrib changes shape accordingly---> nucleotides can fit in certain pattern---->the scrib has now "spelled" hot so basically the "scribe" invents a language to "explain" the changes in the enviroment Creating a primitive RNA "language". the more changes in the enviroment the bigger the vocabulary. then the RNA can in turn serve as the proteins "memory" of past events. Then as the RNA becomes more complex, it can express more things, and create proteins for certain temperatures, pHs and such and it gets more and more complicated and we wind up here. (its way better that "compitition of the molecules" molecules dont say anything unless there is a pre exsisting "language" and molecules don't "compete" they sit there until something bumps into them) Ta DA!! I know that this is just ramblings, but "guided"( religion haters run away screaming now) evolution fits with observations of other systems in the universe sooooo much better than random evolution. Now in all this you are tempted to point out that evolution does not have a "goal", but: what if mutations allow energy to flow better? to be more "efficient" if you will. Remember, energy likes to follow the path of least resistance, what if mutaions "allow" that to happen, in effect, giving mutations a "purpose" and creating a "goal" for the organism. note: im not saying that random point mutations cannot occur, they do, im just saying there is no way that they can be responsible for the world we see today.

This guy is whacked. Dude, your not off by much when you say the universe can be a bubble, and your free to imagen how the solarsystem works, but experiments have shown that gravity is not surface tension, but the curvature of space time by any objects with mass, this idea of objects being held by surface tension is nonsense, considering that the surfaces(as told by others on this tread) of the earth and the moon are not touching,thus it cannot be "surface" as you described, and tension is the pulling of a object by internal and external forces, if you mean gravitational tension, you are correct, you can see this when the tides come in. That is gravitational "tension" if you will. You are not "far" off, but far enough. You obviously like to mix reality with imagination.

hmmm.... interesting indeed. Thanks.

how about electro static cling? maybe its the new "gravity"? perhaps you can have electro static plates that act to mimic gravity, and they could be used to counteract accelerative forces. so your ship can accelerate 100gs and you would just stand there not feeling a thing.

.......uh.. yes... I second that!

I am currently looking thru massive amounts of material concerning the mutaion of creatures big, bigger, and small. Mutations in the DNA seem to remove genetic information not slap on more, so in order for evolution to work, it must be adding relevant information to new enviromental factors that allow for the mutaions to rise. But since the DNA does not accomidate for random mutations what about protein? Could protein molecules change with the enviroment? could it be the protein that mutates first, then with its new Shape and information, add information relavant to the survival of the cell into the DNA thus altering the information encoded in the DNA? Also, mutatiuons would not "edit" the DNA, the old DNA adapted to a previously suited enviroment is still there, so retreating back to the previous is possilbe, (so called de-evolving) but it does not remove DNA info once again, and if a certain gene is highly important, the protein will copy it into theDNA for further emphisis on that gene. so its the Prions or some other protein molecules that react to the enviroment, change shape, then add relevant information to the DNA? could you guys add any suggestions please P.S don't shoot this hypothisis down before you remind yourself that no one person can adequetly explain the very nature of the mutaions of DNA any better than this far out hypothisis.

Thats bull, its like saying there can't be humans that have more knowledge that they had 3000 years ago, thats not true, If in fact spomehow we make a A.I. it will be able to learn and devise new ways to learn previously unknown things, thus at first it cannot be smarter than us, but since it will learn, it can surpass our level of intelligence. oh... wait, thats what everyones been saying for the last 3 pages... im going to read all the pages before i post from now on.....

This would be most interesting, it also means that if we could ever get to a "black hole, we might be able to study dark matter in high concentrations! and i also never liked the idea of black holes being gateways to other universes and times, that makes a already complicated universe even more complicated, who wants that? but for now im staying a skeptic.

In that case the scientists found heme not hemoglobin, i read the reports from the scientists themselves, the YEC's did turn that into propaganda, you can find this at many YEC webpages. Heme lasts wayyyyy longer than hemoglobin and is more stable, the YEC took that discovery way out of hand(to suit their purposes no less).

i think that we could use thermonuclear mines to do large scale construction projects, like a big resevoir for water storage. But only after we find a clean way to do it, like if we find out how to create a pure fusion device. No more flooding mountain valleys and killing wildlife!!

yeah, another oddity that one cannot understand.

Im sure that i speak for many people around the world: earth has lost yet another kind soul.
