Hi Everyone,
I have been following this forum for quite a while now.... Personally, I am overwhelmed by the amount of posts and topics listed on this forum. However I suppose this is a good place to vent the arguments that relate to beliefs.
I would like to pose, what i feel are two of the most important questions that determine whether scientifically explained origins are religious pursuits or not.
1) What significance does Cosmic/Chemical/Biological origins (And there connection) have, in our endeavors for modern Science?
-A case study for example: Can modern pharmacogenetics progress using genetic similarity alone?
-Also, Vaccine products can be identified using relatively short cladograms in e.g. viral genomes, why is it then necessary to have a whole tree of life?
2) Could the current origin theories, in this argument, biological, be biased inferences fundamentally based on Darwinist ideas? I.e. Because Darwin observed the similar beaks, inferences regarding similar genomes on a global scale, follow in his evolutionary idea...
Let me know what you think.
