Thanks to all of the writers and regular commenters! *lurk lurk*…
Here’s to the next 10,000!!!
Congratulations Uncommon Descent!
Congratulations UD on the big 10,000!
My fav site – learn a lot here – interesting – spend too much time here though, but I don;t think I’ll stop. THANK YOU!
Congratulations!
Thanks to everyone who invests so much time to keep the site running.
Haven’t really gone on here as much as I wish I could, but I think it’s great that this blog has been alive and well for so long!
No doubt in my mind that the “ID movement” or whatever critics want to call it is just getting started!

Congratulations from this long-time-lurker. I enjoy reading not just the blog posts but the discussions. Thank you to all.
And as long as some leading Darwinists continue to distort and deceive the public, I am glad that sites on the internet, like UD, crev.info, ENV and others, try to expose that deception:

Congratulations to UD, and thank you to all the thousands of unknowns who follow along.
Congratulations and thank you Uncommon Descent and to all who contribute to these very valuable discussions!

Yes! ,, Apparently intellectual Genius includes a very real danger of ethical retardation if one is not firmly rooted in God

Information Storage in DNA by Wyss Institute – video
https://vimeo.com/47615970
Quote from preceding video:
“The theoretical (information) density of DNA is you could store the total world information, which is 1.8 zetabytes, at least in 2011, in about 4 grams of DNA.”
Sriram Kosuri PhD. – Wyss Institute
Harvard cracks DNA storage, crams 700 terabytes of data into a single gram – Sebastian Anthony – August 17, 2012
Excerpt: A bioengineer and geneticist at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have successfully stored 5.5 petabits of data — around 700 terabytes — in a single gram of DNA, smashing the previous DNA data density record by a thousand times.,,, Just think about it for a moment: One gram of DNA can store 700 terabytes of data. That’s 14,000 50-gigabyte Blu-ray discs… in a droplet of DNA that would fit on the tip of your pinky. To store the same kind of data on hard drives — the densest storage medium in use today — you’d need 233 3TB drives, weighing a total of 151 kilos. In Church and Kosuri’s case, they have successfully stored around 700 kilobytes of data in DNA — Church’s latest book, in fact — and proceeded to make 70 billion copies (which they claim, jokingly, makes it the best-selling book of all time!) totaling 44 petabytes of data stored.

DNA: The Ultimate Hard Drive – Science Magazine, August-16-2012
Excerpt: “When it comes to storing information, hard drives don’t hold a candle to DNA. Our genetic code packs billions of gigabytes into a single gram. A mere milligram of the molecule could encode the complete text of every book in the Library of Congress and have plenty of room to spare.”

DNA Stores Data More Efficiently than Anything We’ve Created – Casey Luskin – August 29, 2012
Excerpt: Nothing made by humans can approach these kind of specs. Who would have thought that DNA can store data more efficiently than anything we’ve created. But DNA wasn’t designed — right?

Harvard Scientists Write the Book on Intelligent Design—in DNA – Dr. Fazale Rana – September 10, 2012
Excerpt: One gram of DNA can hold up to 455 exabytes (one exabyte equals 10^18 bytes). In comparison, a CD-ROM holds about 700 million (7 x 10^8) bytes of data. (One gram of DNA holds the equivalent amount of data as 600 billion CD-ROMs. Assuming a typical book requires 1 megabyte of data-storage capacity, then one gram of DNA could harbor 455 trillion books.)

Moreover, Church’s team also accomplished this impressive feat,,,

The ID (and YEC somewaht) has become such a famous threat to evolution or God-fingerprint deniers that everyone who reaches large audiences has commented on ID.
Irts the talk of the century as it threatens a old idea of the church of science.
Of coarse its because its pushed by accepted intelligent well degree ed people and good book sales, movie, etc etc.
They can’t sau its just regular people.
Its now the class they always used to silence criticism.
This is why they do attack ID intellectualism. But lose heart.
This forum is a good artillery barrage on points in the bad guys defence.
I predict 15 years will see the end of of evolutionism as is or of its critics.
We are living in a revolution and they smell the danger.
Remember YEC was here first! We get some of the kill.
Congratulations UD! A beacon of Light!
I wouldn’t mind reading a history of this site (blog): when was it founded, by whom (I have some ideas) and notable scenes from its past. Starting from about 2009 I am a regular reader and admirer of some of the posters here.
A lot of things to learn. And get annoyed a lot by some who do not seem to have capacity to learn the most evident things – even if repeated to them numerous times in the most diverse and persuasive ways. Maybe they have their role though: to keep our posters in good shape and help improve our arguments to perfection.

OT: Just add water portable power?
Nanosilicon rapidly splits water without light, heat, or electricity – January 24, 2013 – by Lisa Zyga
Excerpt: But the improvements the scientists discovered with silicon nanoparticles far exceeded their expectations. The reaction of 10-nm silicon particles with water produced a total of 2.58 mol of hydrogen per mol of silicon (even exceeding theoretical expectations), taking 5 seconds to produce 1 mmol of hydrogen,,,
“I believe the greatest significance of this work is the demonstration that silicon can react with water rapidly enough to be of practical use for on-demand hydrogen generation,” coauthor Mark Swihart, Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Buffalo, told Phys.org. “This result was both unexpected and of potential practical importance. While I do not believe that oxidation of silicon nanoparticles will become a feasible method for large-scale hydrogen generation any time soon, this process could be quite interesting for small-scale portable applications where water is available.”,,,
