this site is such a great and valuable resource and simon is to be commended for running it for so long.

when i first came i was in such a bad state and really needed support and friendship.

so many posters commented on my threads and showed genuine care some are real life friends, some are facebook friends, some i talk to on the phone and some are forum friends.. i have just realised though that everyone online is not your friend.

Landy,

You might find me very strange and odd because I have a disability. Yes I am like this in real life and many people discriminate against me due to my disability. I am used to it.

It seems to me that you love and crave attention and if people don't go along with it and lavish you with praise and happiness you get rather upset and resentful toward them. - Simon

I think you may have identified something about my personality, that I don't know myself. I think you're probably right that I crave attention, and rejection does upset me. So I am probably very emotionally immature for my age. I can see how this will impact in my future if I don't make changes.

Becoming or acting tribal (I'm friends with this and that, but not friends with this and that) looks and sounds a lot like the JW practice of disfellowshipping people. I don't think that's healthy in thins particular type of forum.

Thank you scratchme for your comments. They are very sensible and wise. I truly understand your points you make. You are very right in what you say about me being hurt, I am very hurt. Thank you for acknowledging that. The last thing I want to do is be tribal, or create an atmosphere where nobody gets support. I am glad you have highlighted that my post could do that.

Laika. That's great. I have put it in my diary.

Landy, I am so upset about your post I am going to slit my wrists now

My son is coming home to me soon. Yey!!!

by KateWild in

my son sent me a wonderful song a month ago on this thread.

it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.

KateWild

Freddo, redpill, Laika,

Thanks for your posts.

Azor, I am so sorry that your dad separated you from your mum. Did you always know what he was doing was wrong? or Did he tell you negative things about your mum that you believed?

I conclude evolution is guided

by KateWild in

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.

Molecules often need a bit of help to get together. The matchmakers are called catalysts. Imagine the result though if the end product ALSO has the right properties to catalyse more molecules. Each generation not only produces more end product but also more catalysts to facilitate even more reactions. - cofty

This is not accurate, not all chemical compounds require catalysts, some exist as compounds in nature. Inorganic compounds are not entantiomeric therefore are never homochiral.

The result is exponential growth. - cofty

This is incomplete and misleading. Homochiral compounds that are synthesised in the lab using autocatlysis grow exponentially. There is no experiment and no results for this statement. In chemistry a result is a piece of data not a statement of fact.

If there is a very small difference in the balance of the right and left types of molecule in the early stage of the process then that difference also grows exponentially. When both types are competing for resources one will win the contest by orders of magnitude. - cofty

I have already told you on this thread that this statement is not true. But you conveniently ignored it. Your lack of chemistry leads you to make false chemical statements. This is intellectually lazy and dishonest. Just because you repeat it, doesn't make it true.

Soai demonstrated exactly this outcome in his lab. It was one the great experiments of science.-cofty

You don't understand anything about what Soai was researching and developing in 1995, or his motives for doing so. You're just twisting the facts to try and discredit me and what I have concluded based on my knowledge of chemistry.

It is not the burden of anybody to show that any process could NOT be guided by a supernatural source. That is a fool's errand. - cofty

Yes I agree it is, you have made a fool of yourself trying to do that in this thread.

It is the task of science to show that it is entirely possible for unguided naturalistic processes to accomplish each task. The puzzle of why the stuff of living things is all made of left-handed molecules is now no more of a mystery than the path of the planets. - Cofty

Who says what the task of science is? You are not twisting facts at all because you don't have bias, but just a position. All living this are not made of l-enantiomers, What about glucose and all d-sugars?

Cofty, no one can prove that Gods do or don't exist. I draw my conclusions on the scientific facts and data I have it's just my opinion though, and I don't think anyone should follow what I say. I am not trying to make any claims of an existence of a diety. You can carry on seeking the very best arguments against your position if it makes you happy. But your argument against my position is not the very best argument. cantleave, Angus' argument is much better than yours.

Rebel, Actually yes you're right but my experience is that I got hurt online. But sure I need to be aware I could get hurt IRL too. Thanks
