A New Chemical 'Tree of The Origins of Life'

I’m also pointing out your naked tribalism, something Jesus Christ taught against.

Which naked tribalism is that?

@Mercer

Doesn’t that suggest a profound lack of faith in what they are selling to you?

I don’t understand what you’re trying to imply or how that applies that they don’t affect your field. I came across this article recently. Study shows a molecular dance that keeps your heart beating | WSU Insider | Washington State University

I thought this part was interesting. I wonder how often scientists accidentally call something designed.

“It’s beautifully designed,” said Kostyukova, whose research is focused on understanding protein structures.

And, tightly regulated.

@Mercer

Because evolution is essential for understanding it and you deny evolution without any evidence.

@Mercer

Then how can you so vehemently deny evolution?

I deny evolution as a correct origins theory because I believe the Bible is clear that death is the result of sin. I will not believe that animal or human death came before the fall. I will not believe that God is the author of death. I believe the Bible is clear that death is what results when we turn away from God and don’t want to know Him, and what happens when we separate ourselves from Him who is Life.

@Mercer

yours is based on the worst sort of hearsay. Yet you pretend that your position is based on evidence.

Are you claiming Dr. James Tour spouts hearsay? I don’t know what you’re basing what you’re saying on. We haven’t really interacted much before so I don’t know how you think you know me.

@Mercer

Then it’s both silly and disingenuous to demand evidence from him, because you’ll just ignore it, right?

I think he proves his point if Christians are involved in the research somewhat yes. So no I would not ignore it.

@Mercer

his word for something you want to be true, but you will take hearsay (misrepresented as evidence) for what you wish to be true.

Whose word? What hearsay? I mostly read a very long BBC article on the subject.

@Mercer

But you don’t really seem to want to know.

Yes I do.

@Mercer

Are they hearsay or evidence?

MIT open course webpages. Study Materials | Introduction to Biology | Biology | MIT OpenCourseWare you tell me.

@Mercer

From my most recent research field, if cardiac myosin was intelligently designed, why are there so many MYH7 alleles in humans, most of which are found in perfectly healthy people? Why are there so few MYH7 alleles in every other species we’ve examined?

Evolution and anthropology explain that very well. How do you explain that evidence? Not anyone else, but you?

I’d have to understand what it is first. Do you have an article I could read.

@Mercer

Come on. You’re objecting to evolutionary biology too.

No. I’m not. I think it makes a lot of sense. God created us and other life to adapt, and we can, but only so far, and we still die because of sin in our world.
