| Quote (afarensis @ May 18 2010,23:50) | Okay, so, I, um, had to subscribe to the Darwinism thing. Couldn't resist. It's a sickness, I know, I'll start the twelve step program as soon as I'm able. Sob, sniffle. A small taste:
| Quote | Nature can create fascinating patterns - snowflakes,
sand dunes, crystals, stalagmites and stalactites. Tornadoes
and turbulence and cloud formations.
But non-living things cannot create language. They
*cannot* create codes. Rocks cannot think and they
cannot talk. And they cannot create information.
It is believed by some that life on planet earth arose
accidentally from the "primordial soup," the early ocean which
produced enzymes and eventually RNA, DNA, and primitive cells.
But there is still a problem with this theory: It fails to
answer the question, 'Where did the information come from?'

You mean it doesn't come from talking rocks?
I'm in trouble.
