it talks about how a different message can be found encoded in DNA when you shift the reading-frame.

Are you not confusing LSD with Lucid (which had almost a diametrically opposed meaning)????

Such a mechanism would be especially useful to plants that self-pollinate and so are not as genetically variable as other plants. But it might happen in all plants and even animals.”

This is a big problem, in my thinking, for Darwinism. The overall Darwinian process creates advantages through mutational errors. That system, hypothetically, creates an error-control mechanism which runs counter to the overall mechanism.

Have you heard the joke where there is a man drowning and 2 boats come by to help him, but he refuses their help b/c God will save him. He drowns and goes to heaven and asks God why he didn’t save him and God replies, “I sent you 2 boats!”

God is sending these people way more than 2 boats, but I guess they’re still missing it.

Wasn’t that used in an episode of The West Wing?

But, if you think about it, isn’t the moral of that little parable that the victim was foolish to turn down the naturalistic offers of help – the boats – that were available and wait for some sort of supernatural aid that wasn’t?

So, in terms of biology, wouldn’t that mean that we would be foolish to reject the best available naturalistic explanation for the diversity of life – the theory of evolution – even though it’s not perfect, just because some people think it doesn’t allow for God?

Obviously, you must be hallucinating, as per your name.

Audi has just released a new TV advert (seen in South African) showing the human body as a series of intricate machines (heart, eyes, DNA etc)and the words ‘Intelligently Designed’ on it followed by the ‘design’ aspect of their cars. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw it! I guess Ad companies are not restricted to the Darwin dogma!!!

Has anyone else seen it?? I can’t seen to find it posted on the net yet. DaveScot if you’re reading this please mail me (you should be able to get my address off my profile as an Administrator). I think it would make a great new topic.

I hope I’m alive when we scientists unravel the parallel codes.

Let’s just add another point to the prb of abiogenesis.

Well, people who study mathematics are weird.

No doubt about that!
