What I find difficult to understand is the acceptance by members of nominally Christian groups of blatant lying and misrepresentation. Perhaps it doesn't count when the person who points it out isn't a True Believer.


Agreed.

The religious upbringing I did have did not include lying and slander as values.

When quite young I used to wonder how to respond to 'information' presented by avowed Christians.

I became disgusted when I found out that most of the time they were lying.

the baptist church i went to should have been a soap opera.  i just figure they are all like that.  man our piano lady was killer though.  if you ever heard jimmy swaggart play the piano she was that good.

Swaggart just ripped off his musical ideas from his cousin Jerry.  :angry:

Thinking for the first time? Don't be patently ridiculous!

Anyway, I'm patient and I understand people have lives. I know I do! If he's going to post lots of god whalloping bible drivel, then the least he can do is answer some easy questions. However, if he's not going to post at all, then I'm happy to wait.

OMG!

Post of the Week!  And, it's only Monday!

I'd like to thank my agent and my publicist and, of course, Jesus and his father, God, without whom I would not have been so blessed.  And, I'm sorry the rest of you aren't blessed but there's only so much blessed to go around and it's my turn.

So, there.

But, I'd really like to thank Amadan who did the tee-up to my award even though Amadan, obviously, did something to be less blessed than me.

And, while I'm blessed, I'd like to pray that the scrotum fungus that Louis suffers from clears up.

Hugs to everybody, even Arlen, even though he's a H)m).

Yeah I could once relate to your comments, I once told some Jesus people to leave my front door.  When they asked me why the only thing I could think to tell them was that I didn't like them.  But that's when I liked chemistry--in my head.  Yes I would say the peace of God is nothing like any numbing drug as in alcohol or cocaine.

Hi Louis and all,

**Okay friends, back to the goalposts.  By the way I do work quite a bit--my family likes to eat.    I have also been studying.   NONE of this is from creationist research.  It is your theory.

A. Just an introductory point:  Could someone solve this equation for me.  2xyz + 6(a - b) - 5x=c
Surely someone could solve this and give me the answer that I'm thinking in my mind.  Answer: you don't know what I'm thinking, and there are too many variables.  So evolutionists would just assign values to the variables and give an absolute value to c.  There it fits, so it's a fact!  The problem is I was most likely thinking something else in my mind for c.  SO you didn't really solve it.  In this case, I am hypothetically a being that observed the entire past of earth, and c = what really happened.

B.Life making conditions at abiogenesis?

**Louis, your theory says the earth is about 4.6 (?) years old, and you built an entire geologic age  (hadean) with hardly any traces (big variable). Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to at least some, the earth degassed through volcanic activity--out came water vapor, CO2, N, methane, and what else I don't remember (don't have time to find the material) to create an anaerobic atmosphere.

1. If there was water vapor and CO2, then there was O on earth.  I already know about the O catastrophe, but even in your theory you admit there was O, quite alot of it apparently-- there was enough water vapor to condense and fill the oceans.

2. Nonsarcastic question: With all that CO2, wouldn't the temperature have been extremely hot, plus no ozone?  Heat and radiation.  Nasty!   Maybe like Venus huh? bobthelien.co.uk
   
     "The swirling clouds look peaceful, but they are definitely not! The planet receives heat from the Sun...unable to escape back into space ...Temperatures can reach up to 600°c..."
     "The cloud...is full of deadly sulphuric acids droplets, not water droplets as on Earth. Nearly all of Venus' atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide,

3. Chemistry not my subject, as you know, but all those gases sound really nasty mixing together, especially with unprotected sunlight coming in.  What kind of nasty toxins would that have created.  

**I did actually read that Stanley Miller had to isolate alot of sludgey toxins from the mix just so he could get the toxic racemic mixture of the few amino acids made.  Alot of intelligent interference there.  Apparently it takes intelligent interference to create organic (if you would qualify the mixture as organic) materials from inorganic materials

**In your theory, cyanobacteria  (blue green algae) appear at about 3.5 billion years in the fossil record, not the archaens, which would have made more sense to me since they can live in alot of heat (still alive today as well as the cyanobacteria, hmm). There was the oxygen catastrophe around 2.2 billion years ago, caused by the microorganisms of that era, which in turn killed many of them.

"A Novel Role of Water-Soluble Chlorophyll Proteins in the Transitory Storage of Chorophyllide1,2"

**WELL AT LEAST THERE ARE SOME PROTEINS THAT ARE WATER SOLUBLE.  Don't cyanobacteria have chorophyll in them?  I mean they did/do the photosynthesis thing.  Seems kind of risky to let that out of the bag.  Perhaps their ancestor (the first grandpa) had some water soluble chorophyll in him!  

**Anyway, your oxygen catastrophe has some "evidence."  You know it I know, but so you know I have researched it.

The oxygen catastrophe  www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/precambian/proterastrat.html
The first "pollution crisis" hit the Earth about 2.2 billion years ago. Several pieces of evidence -- the presence of iron oxides in paleosols (fossil soils), the appearance of "red beds" containing metal oxides, and others -- point to a fairly rapid increase in levels of oxygen in the atmosphere at about this time.

This is a non-deduction.  Deduction requires the ruling out of all other possibilities.  It is circumstantial evidence.  The oxides could have been caused by water.  You know creationist would stick this in their model too.  Another scenario built on a variable.

** I have also  read about how some believe iron deposits show evidence of O2.  Fe++ to Fe+++ (are these ions or what, I really need to take chemistry, so sue me).  This is an admitted hypothesis.  Again water is a possibility.

C. Oxygen ( CO2, H2O) was on the earth, but it was all underground, none of it in the atmosphere--right.  But if it wasn't, you had no O3 either, so lots of radiation.  But radiation causes chemical reactions and hopefully mutations!  Yeah , I'm sure alot of chemical reactions are happening when a guy stands by an ultra violet light for a while.

"Genetic damage DNA absorbs UV-B light and the absorbed energy can break bonds in the DNA...one method that scientists use to analyze amounts of 'genetically-damaging UV-B is to expose samples of DNA to the light and then count the number of breaks in the DNA. For example J.Regan's work at the Florida Institute of Technology ...genetically significant doses of solar radiation could penetrate as far as 9 feet into non-turbulant ocean water."

(Parenthetical)  "For example, denatured proteins usually becomes less soluble, that is, it doesn't dissolve in water as well...." same source

**Louis, you really need to talk to these science people that keep disagreeing with you about protein and water.

D.If all this CO2 was on earth and we were like Venus, how did the water vapor condense to form oceans?!!!!!! That is if all these gases could have somehow stayed seperated.  But I would suspect they probably wouldn't have.

Venus??  Sulfuric acid rain might have stopped protein formation or anything--ya think.  They must not have meant to said that.  Was that Columbia?  Yes it was.  Maybe their closet creationists.

I'm amazed anyone could make heads or tails of that word salad of RFJE's.

Okay, so  I *THINK* he's trying to make the claim that if the early Earth atmosphere was "dominated" by CO2...then it had to be *exactly* like Venus today--complete with sulfuric acid clouds?  

There's a vague gesture towards UV as damaging to DNA/RNA...A mention of archaea and cyanobacteria. The Hadean.

By golly, I think this is some sort of argument against abiogenesis -- except written by a  disciple of KairosFocus, on a hellishly powerful toad extract.

I do not have time at this point, there was my intitial mistake of saying aa when i should have said protein water soluble.  Louis explained that certain acids can break proteins, not water.  If I am wrong about Louis then I apologize to you Louis.

What difference does it make anyway?  The point is that water can break down protein which would make abiogenes with water present impossible.

I think there is also confusion between oxygen as a constituent of water and CO2 and oxygen as O2. As it swirled past I believe I caught a glimpse of the notion that anything toxic to us must also have been toxic to early life.

"Columbia?" You mean the whole university stood up en masse one day, and in unison intoned what you posted?

Yes, RFJE, I think you're going to have to spell out exactly what you mean, because I'm really having fun looking at what you wrote so far. Please continue.

The short answer to your question on "condensation" is that the early Earth was initially very hot,  but it cooled over time... allowing water vapor to condense.

However, I'd like hear your "take" on early Earth conditions: atmosphere, temps, water and umm...things like carbon-absorbing minerals and stuff like iron that reacts with gases. The stage is yours. Please continue. Flesh out your "outline"

P.S. : your claim about water tearing up them proteins is interesting. How much of your body is water, percentage-wise, RFJE?

Help me out here. I looked over the entire thread, and didn't manage to find a single thing said by Louis concerning "protein and water" that any of your citations put in any doubt. Where, I ask, will I find such?

In his very first post, he talked about the hydrolysis of amino acids. Later, he talked about the reaction to make protein and its conformation due to hydrophilic/hydrophobic effects, and claimed that it confirmed one of the points he made. From these and his latest remark, I gather RFJE thinks hydrolysis = water solubility.

I'm amazed anyone could make heads or tails of that word salad of RFJE's.

Okay, so  I *THINK* he's trying to make the claim that if the early Earth atmosphere was "dominated" by CO2...then it had to be *exactly* like Venus today--complete with sulfuric acid clouds?  

There's a vague gesture towards UV as damaging to DNA/RNA...A mention of archaea and cyanobacteria. The Hadean.

By golly, I think this is some sort of argument against abiogenesis -- except written by a  disciple of KairosFocus, on a hellishly powerful toad extract.

I think there is also confusion between oxygen as a constituent of water and CO2 and oxygen as O2. As it swirled past I believe I caught a glimpse of the notion that anything toxic to us must also have been toxic to early life.

No, Richard, there is no confusion.  My argument is that the element O was on earth.  It was bonded to C and H (CO2, H2O).  I know the difference between O2 and O.  I'm not that ignorant.

I do not have time to sit at a comp all day and discuss this.  I work and many of these questions come to me as I study and think about them at work.  That's why you get a rough draft.  Would you like a thesis?  Then you'll be whining about how long I take to get back.

DO you guys have to criticize everything or could we have some discourse?

Well, of course there was some oxygen on earth. Water is comparatively abundant in the universe -- it's found in interstellar space. But it's pretty reactive, so...yeah. See: Ref: arxiv.org/abs/0805.0055: Formation of Hydrogen Peroxide and Water from the Reaction of Cold Hydrogen Atoms with Solid Oxygen at 10 K

Also..."criticizing" ideas and claims is how science works, really. Did you want some kind of free pass on speculation? Please continue to expand on your outline, though, and the main points of your argument.

ETA: I *THINK* he's trying to make the claim that if the early Earth atmosphere was "dominated" by CO2...then it had to be *exactly* like Venus today--complete with sulfuric acid clouds?  

Does anyone speak tardish? "bobthealien.co.uk" is one helluva reference, there, RFJE. And another "reference" in your brain-dump is a... nutritionist? The mind boggles. What the hell does any of this mean? Is this (on the whole) an argument against abiogenesis?

On Venus--No Columbia made that claim.  Look at my sources.  Look at my questions. Look at the numbers.  It is an outline. **indicates my comments.  You have criticized my lack of knowledge in science, so I use sources.  Do you know what your own are saying?  

With all that CO2 how DID vapor condense and the oceans form?  Is this word salad, or do I need to explain this?

"Columbia?" You mean the whole university stood up en masse one day, and in unison intoned what you posted?

Yes, RFJE, I think you're going to have to spell out exactly what you mean, because I'm really having fun looking at what you wrote so far. Please continue.

The short answer to your question on "condensation" is that the early Earth was initially very hot,  but it cooled over time... allowing water vapor to condense.

However, I'd like hear your "take" on early Earth conditions: atmosphere, temps, water and umm...things like carbon-absorbing minerals and stuff like iron that reacts with gases. The stage is yours. Please continue. Flesh out your "outline"

P.S. : your claim about water tearing up them proteins is interesting. How much of your body is water, percentage-wise, RFJE?

That's just the point.  You people don't even know what each other are saying.  Columbia endorses the site and this is someone's hypothesis.  Yes, I understand the earth cooled but by what means??

The same old thing--it just happened.

On protein--I think your body and a pool of water are a big difference.  Your body builds proteins with a vast array of mechanisms that I am not qualified to speak on, but DNA and mitochondria, enzymes, and hormones are some of them.  

And see here we go again.  Water is a solvent.  it is neutral, but is a solvent.  The peptide bonds have hydrophilic chains on the outside of the molecule which can react with water.  Not to mention agitation can break protein --i'm thinking waves here.

Space is a hellafied heat sink, RFJE. On your notions of water as a solvent -- how do viruses survive in water?

I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I'd prefer it if you took the time to understand what it is you're disagreeing with (and the underlying science) before posting. It'll do wonders to the quality of responses you'll get. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but then I don't post screeds declaring abiogenesis happened/couldnt have happened either.

I haven't seen anyone here dispute the presence of oxygen (the element) on Earth.  Your argument therefore is that water and carbon dioxide would react the same as oxygen (the molecule) simply because they all have oxygen (the atom/element). This is false, and you would have avoided making such an obvious mistake if you took the time to learn Chemistry.

Okay then you guys are qualifying where O went. How do you know? You say it only went under the earth, and came out of volcanoes as CO2 and H2O water vapor. It couldn't go above the surface as O2.  Or O3.  

You say that because it was drummed up in someone's mind.  Whoever did that knew he couldn't have alot of O2 at abiogenesis.

As far as the comment made about bob the alien.  The site is obviously geared toward Jr hi or HS kids.  Its even a little animated looking.  But I'm sure that is to interest kids in science.  His info on Venus' atmosphere should be easily verifiable.

Uh..is oxygen reactive with hydrogen? How abundant is hydrogen around the universe and in various objects around the universe? How about carbon compounds? Does hydrogen degass from rock?

There's good science behind constituent estimates of the early earth atmosphere -- but I'd still like you to set out your hypothesis in a coherent form.
