  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

  The processes here are similar (but not the same of course) to the electrochemical processes in physics - the interactions of quarks that is.

  Really?

  Quarks are assembled by autocatalysis? Wow! You should publish that paper immediately. A Nobel Prize awaits.

  every time isis commit one of their atrocities, well-meaning folks mumble self-loathing apologies on behalf of "the west".

  noam chomsky and his sort lead a chorus of masochistic confessions.

  apparently everybody is to blame for islamic terrorism (according to bill nye global warming causes isis) - apart from islamic terrorists of course.

  I didn't assume, I asked you a question.

  Your response makes the answer obvious.

  Kate was talking about the idea of creativity as well.

  As we have seen in this thread creativity has absolutely nothing to do with homochirality.

  Updates and fixes

  i thought i'd spend some time cleaning up the forum code and wanted to let you know about some of the recent changes and fixes:.

  the avatars and in-post images used to use a separate imaging service which was convenient but didn't provide much control over caching which meant that each day you visited the site you were probably re-downloading those images again.

  as they are immutable they can be cached for a long time which saves bandwidth and speeds things up.

  Ruby, is it safe to assume you are commenting on an article you didn't bother to read?

  You can download it here...

  Climate change also comes into it

  Your self-delusion is painful.

  Thanks Saename that might be it. My recollection of it is sketchy, it was a radio interview on the BBC so I might even have the year wrong.

  within every single religion there are fundamentalists who go to extremes

  What would a Jainist extremist look like?

  I remember listening to an historian back in '89 immediately after the astonishing collapse of Communism. He was asked what the future of global politics would look like now that the Cold War was over.

  He replied that the world would now return to the age-old conflict between Islam and the West. I wondered what the hell he was talking about.

  I wish I could remember who he was.
