Here's the thing. Nobody actually cares about sparlock. It's a meme only to us.
by JonathanH inat first the sparlock thing was just a cute little diversion.
the icon of an amusingly out of touch cheaply produced dvd.
somehow it has spiralled into a kind of focal point of society bashing.

Proud of those Mormons. There will be an official response. I suspect it will be worded in a 'we love the sinner just not the sin' way and will reiterate families as requiring a man and woman ( and will avoid references to how the lds church used to claim that monogamy was the cause of moral decline and that polygamy was the celestial model ) ;'p.s. don't protest in public or else.'

Simple answer, please! Scientifically explain the origin of life coming from nothing!
by Silent_Scream inscientific method asserts nothing living can come from something non-living.
science is observable, science is reproducible.
a living thing coming from non-living matter has never been observed nor reproduced.. therefore, it takes faith in an unknown process to believe that that's exactly what happened in the beginning, with no evidence!.

What I love about this thread is how several people had access to sensible information and none of the answers resorted to magic, mythical paradises or invisible beings who are returning 'soon' to kill or eternally torture most of mankind. I so freakin enjoy not being bound by faith or any god. Thanks for all the info presented.

the greatest of love and peace to you all!.
i'm just sticking my head in to say (because several have asked and it's not fair of me to make them have to answer for me, so):.

The Great Debate: "Has Science Refuted Religion?
by dark angle injust want to share this amazing debate!
caltech cosmologist and physicist sean carroll teams up with skeptic magazine publisher and science historian michael shermer in this epic debate with noted conservative author and king's college president dinesh d'souza and mit physicist ian hutchinson as they go head-to-head over one of the most controversial issues of our age.
as science pushes deeper into territory once the province of religion, with questions such as why there is something rather than nothing?, where did the universe come from?, how did life arise?, what was the origin of morality?, and others, inevitable conflicts arise over the best approach to answer them.

Maybe we can draw a threshold at replicative ability. Life copies itself. While there may be an argument that matter interacts with its surroundings seeking vibrational harmony it might be a stretch to say that atoms beget atoms?

I think SS has a fair point. It is not fair to assert something without backing it up with evidence. Abiogenesis is a pig because it's clearly not a statistically common occurrence under current conditions or at least we don't know yet how to start life ( one of the problems of only just - relatively speeking - inventing the tools to peer inside the cell) . Abiogenesis doesn't yet have a working model so no one can directly say what specific chemical reactions occurred and being a historical event with no human observers it is also impossible to verify if our abiogenesis matches what actually happened. We also haven't got a working unifies theory tying all physics together but one day we probably will. I am happy not to use abiogenesis as an argument though I personally would be stunned if it wasn't a natural process being that all we have ever worked out has been simple physics and chemistry. Again it is never magic.
