Abiogenesis, not a word I had encountered before but it certainly moves the goalposts with regard to the spontaneous origin of life. Like most of us I had been brought up to believe in the warm soup and lightening hypothesis, but just a few minutes browsing the above strips bare the the...

But has mankind ever been as aware of the sheer vastness of its ignorance as it is now? Presently, we find ourselves with marvellous tools of discovery, as we never have possessed before, and yet those engaged in genuine scientific endeavour become more deeply aware that we know so little...

Which underlines how little we poor humans know about the working of nature, preferring to bundle all our ignorance up into one big ball and call it God.

A mudslide would be one explanation if the rock strata was the same age throughout.

Indeed not, and my fear is that those who do ask the basic and most important questions are increasingly denied an audience because there are too many vested interests wishing to see the status quo continue indefinitely. However, it is encouraging to see that tenet of astrophysics, the big...

Even the bible says as much - And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, Philippians 4:7

I am drawn to one truth above all else and that is there is far more out there than we will ever know and we haven't the mental capacity to grasp. We therefore find ourselves flopping around in the shallows thinking that one day the mysteries of the deep will all be revealed to us, if we really...

The odds of anything happening by random chance are witheringly low.

A few minutes in and I am already wanting to poke a stick through his spokes. He makes much of the propostrousnous of the big bang in supporting theism, yet science itself is now questioning that very theory, so one plank at least is knocked from the platform upon which he stands. He is also...

It should be born in mind that all sorts of weird preservations will have occurred over the billions of years that life has been around and we will only experience a miniscule fraction of them. The ones that do pop up therefore appear remarkable, but there will be plenty more that have been...

She makes much of the idea that scientists don't, as a rule, appreciate that there is knowledge beyond that which can be measured. A sweeping generalism and quite unfair to many I am sure. She appears to have taken her own realisation of this rather mundane fact and inflated it to a pitch to...

I think the discoveries you mention have also led us into the the dark alley of complacency in thinking we know all there is to know, and it's now just a question of filling in the details. Darwin himself was very uncertain of his theory and took many years to publish it, and even then he was...

Have you got it in dot to dot as well? Just asking for a friend.

Which kinda goes with what I say about evolution, and that is we are only scratching at the surface of our understanding of it.

I'll wait for you to work it out.

Check again.

No.

If you are referring to Darwin's book it is in fact 'On the Origin of Species'. Please do make some sort of effort.

I watched a few minutes of him trying to shout down the lady in a rather aggressive fashion, but he made no mention of wanting to shag her underage daughters, perhaps that's why he was so pissy with her, she locked them away before he got there.

My my, you've only just round to trying to deny it.
