Suck on those sour grapes jem. It won't change the fact that there's no science showing life is caused by anything but chemical reaction. No science showing the universe is 'fine tuned'. And bible/god is not science however you torture the connecting of dots.
Sour grapes... you are the one who was proven to be dead as wrong. 1. chemical reaction is a completely different argument. 2. The susskind video above says what I have been saying. See... I refer to the science and the scientists. you don't. I suspect you are not allowed to post links too often and that is not your teams job as content providers and trolls.
True to form you go all pissy at getting called out for trying to delusively push god/bible in threads that refer to articles associated with science . In this thread you've attempted to use the phrase "spark of life" as if it could be some god thing or other, rather than the chemical reaction it is, and what actually occurs in the science and the scientific work that explains it. There is no god in it. Whatever god is supposed to be, it is't science. The way you go round in circles this way suggests it's you who's either a spambot or a trolling bad loser . To be clear which, please do a Captcha and consider the self-defeating advice it offers before you attempt another absurd self-defeating post.
You seem to forget this was really fricken cool science. its like you are God phobic. I was mostly to pushing science and the idea the universe began in a manner perhaps parallels the way life begins. Also I had heard the art from Michaelangleo on the chapel ceiling called the Spark of life scene. Which is why I posted it. You of course get all sensitive about anything God related.. -- It just happens that the bible seems to have gotten that right. But if you want science and the bible this was just posted 2 hours ago... and was the first post on google for spark of life. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/05/01/spark-life-science-and-bible-meet-again.html The spark of life: Science and the Bible meet again By Michael Guillen Ph.D. Published May 01, 2016 FoxNews.com Facebook35 Twitter7 livefyre16 Email Print For me, images released recently by Northwestern University scientists of tiny light flashes signaling the moment of human conception are evocative of a larger, cosmic-sized truth espoused by both science and the Bible. Namely, the creation of the universe itself – the mother of all moments of conception – was likewise marked by an explosion of light. According to their article in Scientific Reports, the Northwestern researchers collected immature human eggs from willing female patients at the Fertility Center of Illinois – eggs that would have been discarded in the normal course of the patients’ fertility treatments. The researchers used special chemicals to mimic the moments of conception – the law forbidding them to use actual sperm. In each case, they discovered, the decisive moment was accompanied by a small burst of zinc atoms. The eruptions appeared as flashes of light because of fluorescing agents used by the scientists. According to science – at precisely a moment of conception known asrecombination & decoupling – an incomprehensible outburst of light accompanied the creation of hydrogen and helium, the first atoms of the embryonic cosmos. To this day, the dim afterglow of that seminal light – the so-called cosmic microwave background – is visible to certain kinds of powerful telescopes. According to inflation and big bang theories, it didn’t end there. Hydrogen atoms eventually began to fuse, the way they do in a hydrogen bomb, and – voila! – once again, in a flash of light, the first stars came into being. They, in turn – like colossal stoves – cooked up the heavier elements known to us today. Including the zinc atoms that explode, like fireworks, every time a human being is conceived. I find it notable that the Bible agrees with science that the universe was conceived in a paroxysm of illumination – I imagine, unlike anything we’ve ever seen. According to Genesis 1:3, that event happened at exactly the moment God uttered the immortal words, “Let there be light.” The Bible’s explanation of things goes even further, by actually assigning a sacred status to light. In 1 John 1:5, light is identified with the Creator himself: “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” Scientists don’t use that sort of language, of course, but amazingly, they do agree that light very definitely has a transcendent status. It wasn’t always the case, though: scientists made that discovery only relatively recently. The momentous change of heart began in 1905, when an unknown outsider named Albert Einstein published his heretical theory of special relativity. According to Einstein, contrary to what scientists had always believed, light experiences a reality wholly unlike the one you and I do – inhabits an otherworldly realm where, among other things, the commonplace laws of space and time are not obeyed. Like God, if you will, light transcends the restrictions of the ordinary, physical world. Scientists were slow in coming around to believe Einstein’s heterodoxy. But today, it is a key component of the modern scientific catechism. Like the Bible, therefore, science now agrees that whenever we interact with light, we interact with something that is at once in this world, but not of this world. Chief among these divine-like encounters are those instances when light makes abrupt, attention-getting appearances. Like a moment of creation when something truly special suddenly comes into existence that wasn’t there before – be it a human embryo, a star, or an entire universe.
