I took a chicken bone after dinner one night, and sat down to draw it. How did this come to be, I then asked myself? How did this bone form itself from a few cells? How did it turn into a specific shape, a specific size, and for a specific purpose. As I reflect on this simple fact I am just astounded.

As I skimmed these forums, I saw a number of people who are either extremely arrogant, or who posses a knowledge of the world which is far beyond my comprehension.

So too you 'smart' guys I ask, how does this happen? How does a cell turn into a bone?

If the answer to this question cannot be given, than it seems to me that science should spent more time trying the understand the marvels around us, and less time guessing where it came from.

The concise essential question?

Would this topic come down to the question "How are bones formed?"

The Proverbial Fork In The Road

Wonderly2--welcome.

Do you want this topic to be a science topic? If so, why can't you simply get information on google and from encyclopedias and dictionaries on how bones are made?

If you want to ask the Faith/Belief people how God made the chicken from cells, keep in mind that they are not God (If God exists) and also do not know.

Which direction do you want to take if this topic gets promoted? Science or Faith?

What Is A Discussion Board Anyway?

New Topics should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Keep them short and don't attempt to explain your entire point in the first post. Allow others to respond so that you can expand your discussion.

If you are warned by an administrator or moderator for any reason that is not explained in the Forum Guidelines you can argue your case here.

If you are not promoted, feel free to discuss your reasons with the administrator in the Proposed New Topics Forum who responded to your topic proposal. Feel free to edit and modify your topic and inform the administrator that you have done so.
You may also take your argument here and get feedback from other administrators.
Usually, we leave topic promotion to the first administrator that responds, unless that administrator invites others to comment.

Re: The Proverbial Fork In The Road

Yes this is a science question.

I ask it here, because it seems there are people here that are knowledgeable in this area.

"why can't you simply get information on google and from encyclopedias and dictionaries on how bones are made?"

I have, but have not found a good enough explanation. For example, this is what I find in an encyclopedia when I look for my answer:

1. Development of ossification center
2. Calcification
3. Formation of trabeculae
4. Development of periosteum

These things really do not say anything. How does "periosteum" "develope"? How does "trabeculae" form?

I just have not been able to find these answers.
