"Turn it up Willow. I dont think thats the most modest comment you have ever made on a forum "
I take that as a compliment Moffo. Keep sticking together lads.
Seriously though mate, its gets hard when are those who who continue asking for more and more detail simply because they don't follow.
Having said that, I offer my apologies to Canadian Steve should I have said anything untoward.
Now back to the Puddle of Crap....
Canadian Steve: "
Midnight here - will try tomorrow."
Was that a'hurry up'...? hmmmm...
"you have responded to the irrelevant parts of my post. Try the important part"
I have responded. Its nothing to do with me if you choose to disagree,disbelieve it, or fail to understand. But I can only assume from this cantankerous section of your post that you require more detail.
Firstly, I have say that I'm noprofessor of biology. All I can do is give you my opinion, based on the education I have been exposed to and the books I have read plus a whack of whatever from the TV generation (be sure to pull me up if I'm being sarcastic).
Having said that, I'm more than happy to give ityet anothercrack.
"...
you're saying that single celled organisms split in two...) How do you get from... say, a horse, and from there how did the first male and female horse... produce the first baby horse? [its called a foal, Steve]
I know you'll say there were millions of years in there, but doesn't there have to be a point where the first horse (or pick your animal) was born to 2 male and female parents? That's the point I have trouble picturing, and therefore have trouble believing in. "
I'm sure that evencreationists accept the existence of single celled organisms such as bacteria and algae. The discharge of existing gases from the earth into the atmosphere probably caused the production of amino acids which in turn produced certain proteins thereby leading to the building blocks of DNA.
Molecules are created from this chemical reaction and lo and behold we have singled celled organisms... the oldest are about 3.5BIL years old.
This is an experiment that can be reproduced in a Lab... and it has a name... Miller something.
"What caused them to go from a state without mortality to suddenly start splitting is another question"
This is not the stuff of fantasy.
Given time (yes I have said that before), in the natural world, these multiplying cells form into multi-celled organisms about 1BIL years ago. Once again caused by changes in the atmosphere as gases are emitted, extinguished and so on. All recorded in fossilised records.
Enzymes, chromozomes etc are all by-products of this and our multi-celled organisms turn into small creatures who spread and migrate. Depending the localenvironments, these little creatures change anddevelop to adapt to their conditions...and naturally they enjoy the odd shag and continue to multiply.
You baby horse comes much later but I think by now you are getting the gist of where I'm going with this.
It should be noted that not all evolutionists will agree with all of this but the essence of debating the how and where (ie searching for the answers)is what makes it so interesting.
