Well do you have any evidence to support your statement, like a peer reviewed science paper?
if god is the creator, who created god or how did he evolve?.

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.

Why do you constantly presume to know what everyone else on the board is thinking, is motivated by and has an interest in? - K99
Opps sorry I didn't think it was constant. I am wrong though Ruby is interested too. She read the paper. But over the years when cofty has posted the link to the paper, no one else posted any chemistry in relation to it.
Have you read the links? Are you going to?

I fail to see why such entity would merit our devotion, worship or service - Eden
Yes me too
In deed I could, but far more interesting is the defensive manner you exibited when you feared that others could challenge you to the point of contradiction. Your aversion to being challenged, or in this case feeling you were when you actually were not, has been quite fasinating to observe. - Giles
Well I took half an hour or more to explain in more detail why cofty's conclusion was flawed in my eyes and you haven't even read it Giles. But glad to see you're fascinated enough to quote mine other threads and post my comments out of context. It's nice that both me and cofty have our cheer leaders. At least with Ruby, she has researched Saoi's reaction, it doesn't matter if you don't though, you views are equally welcome.
So your false accusations of others obviously stem from some kind of angst you feel when faced with being contradicted. That's the part of this thread I have found most interesting. - Giles
Thank you for drawing your personal conclusions about me. I actually enjoy being challenged and enjoyed writing my post to explain in further detail why I draw the conclusion I have that you didn't bother to read. Glad you find it interesting.

I do sometimes wonder if intelligent life "has always been" rather than coming from "nothing". Like K99 said - I work at being comfortable not knowing. - Freddo
Thanks for your post. Being comfortable not knowing is a good way to live. Having fun with family and building bonds in the community is more important than filling time try to get definitive answers. Is there really a need?

His paper is the absolute refutation of Kate's point. He proved that the "left-handedness" of life arose as an inevitable result of autocatalysis. It is not a sign of guidance it is bucket chemistry. - cofty
Yes that was the reason he wrote his paper. It wasn't to discuss with other scientists and chemists how to utilise autocatalytic reactions to accomplish more efficient organic synthesis. I mean if he was writing a paper for that reason we could conclude formation of organic compounds in nature are far superior to what scientists are able to synthesise.
I will make this topic the subject of my next but one thread in my Evolution is a Fact series and explain it in more detail. -cofty
Yes you've been promising this for years, but still no sign. Only I am interested anyway cofty. Most of the posters here don't really want to know about autocatalysis and homichirality
So imo she does agree with Kenso Soai - at least she does not contradict him - Ruby
Well it's not about agreeing or disagreeing with Soai. He just presents results, and does not draw conclusions about whether or not evolution is guided. But his results do support my conclusions, or confirm my bias.
Simon and Cofty have made my points, but I'll just add that to start with a preconceived belief and then try (unsuccessfully) to twist existing facts and theories to match that belief is the most dishonest form of thinking and reasoning there is. - Landy
Yes I agree with Simon, don't think cofty made the point though. But Yes I freely admit I must have some bias, but we all have. Cofty is just as much confirming his bias and twisting facts as I am. Like his idea of the reason for Soai's paper. But I only think it's dishonest if you deny that you are bias, and insist you are impartial when you're constantly looking for evidence to support your conclusions. Confirming your bias isn't always unsuccessful if you are satisfied with your results.
Kenso Soai's greatest scientific achievement was to show that homochirality occurs naturally - no guidance required. - cofty

Prologs, good way to come up with a conclusion.
Ruby, sounds very interesting programme.

Kate, you should stay away from Cofty's wheelhouse. That's how I roll, and have done well doing so - onegen
Yes I should, but it's so tempting sometimes and it's fun too

God guides evolution. It is true. He doesn't use that immense power to stop the molestation of children. He is useless- Silentbuddah
Yes I agree and he's a bastard arsehole too.

Kate, IMO the main thing is that you except evolution. If your not ready to give up God that's cool. - Scary
Thanks for your post, and your acceptance of my beliefs and conclusions.

How do we tell the difference between good old fashioned natural selection and guided natural selection? And wouldn't we need a mechanism to distinguish between the two before we could conclude our evolution was guided? - coded logic
Why do we need to tell the difference? What we need to draw any conclusions is satisfying evidence. What satisfies one person, does not satisfy another.
