What do you think should I do that? I don't think you should, I think you are doing that. You go from ...
Pasteur showed that even minute bacteria did not assemble in sterelized water protected from contamination. ... which is a reasonable description of the gist of the experiments, to claiming that this disproves an abiogenetic origin of life. If the abiogenetic theory in question was based around life arising in 'sterelized water protected from contamination' then you would have made a cogent point, as none of them are you are making an unsupportable conflation between the form of spontaneous generation Pasteur's experiments addressed and naturalistic theories of origins. The only basis for this conflation is the semantic overlap where the word abiogenesis has been used both to describe spontaneous generation and modern naturalistic theories of the origin of life. Without making an actual argument showing that these two precepts are identical in more than sharing a name or by showing how Pasteur's experiments have anything to do with modern scientific studies of abiogenesis (in terms of naturalistic theories of life's origins) you are simply making a bald assertion with absolutely no supporting evidence.

I don't see any experiment refute that thing. I am unable to respond because I am unable or unwilling to put in the effort to determine what "that thing" is.
An engine formed by blind force is ridicoulousssss!!!!! Yes, it is. That is why it doesn't work as an analogy to anything anyone is saying. The first life was not a random event. Atoms and molecules won't join up in any ol' fashion as a box of auto parts will. O2 and 2H2s will with almost no encouragement form into 2H2O.Peek for the hidden message. Also your arguments bear the acronym PRABTS Pratt works because it is an homonym of the English word "Prat: an incompetent, stupid, or foolish person; an idiot." If "PRABT" is Bulgarian for "eater of dingleberrys" I shall be truly stung. However, I didn't want to have to go there but The acronym that applies to you is PROHTMTMFTBOTWTTENPNK: Points Refuted One Hundred Times More Then Mine, From The Beginning Of The World To The End, Padlock No Key. Snap! Genesis 2 17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou shinniest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness. 18 And we all live happily ever after.

Lets say we pull a fish out of a fishtank and allow it to suffocate, why can't we breath life back into it again even if all its organs are in completely intact? Once blood stops flowing, cellular death begins. Some cells take longer than others but once this process starts, organs start to shut down and soon after decomposition begins (by all the bacteria/microbes living in and on the body). It is brain/cellular death that is currently irreversible mainly due to the sheer numbers of cells that exist in the body. If we could somehow reverse the cellular damage and the brain death very quickly before decomposition begins, than yes this could be a possibility. However, with our current technology it is impossible.
Life is more then just chemical elements, environment and physics. Can you provide tangible, verifiable evidence supporting your statement? For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. Dr. Carl Sagan

Hello traste,
It is not easy to bring the work of Pasteur into current bio-chemical discussions even though this is a clear connection for some creationists. The reason that this conversation has not proceeded seems to me to be due to the changed reception of "evolution" following the De Vries' contribution and Mendel's rediscovery followed by the work of "Morganists" to say absoultely nothing about the changes in current thought since "Watson and Crick." In 1926 Houghton Mifflin Company published "Darwin" by Gamaliel Bradford. The context of this book provides a way to see that Pasteur's work towards "a grand asymmetry" in life *might* be relevant but one would need to get past the cover's quote above a picture of Darwin's hat saying "He made hell a laughing-stock and heaven a dream." By the 70s and after "Rachael Carson" etc, reformed theologians began to analyze GRACE in ways that put MAN IN this world that this book attempted to exposit was the state of culture before/around "Scopes" making humanities' dream IN this world a veritable heaven rather than a state of perpetual humor. This was the post60s life and during this time molecular biology advanced. There are ways to bring these two differnt times together but it is not a simple thing to expect different generations to agree by simple ocular evidence of writings just as I was able as a child to notice that my Grandparents DID think differently than my PARENTS. So from a more extended examination of the difference between individual horizons of people's perspecitves either relying on concepts or intuitions and concepts combined one may proceed generally. Particularly you may read in Bradford's "Darwin"(page 83) "The natural hypothesis of earlier thinkers was that divien creative power, in whatever shape, had established the different forms of life on the earth pretty much as they exist today. But those who looked more deeply, were inclined to surmise, in view of the close and evident bonds of kinship between all living things, that variety had developed from comparative unity and that the vital impulse, having first appeared in elementary forms, became gradually elaborated into more and more complicated organisms." The tranisition from chemistry to biology is about whatever these "elementary forms" might be. That Pascal showed some kind of asymetry only shows that whatever is imagined as NOT AN ARBITRARY powered shaping process, the description of the forms should not necessaruly be symmetrical but rather transtive and asymmetrical. That does not seem to be quite enough information to address the complicated associations among bonds developed since Watson and Crick. But this does not preclude a modern man in the world and God from existing. It may be that the monomorphic ancestor vision that this social view of Darwinism held is simply false but what that assymetry is logically and in detail is as intricate and varigated as Darwin's "entagled bank."

As I've already told you Pasteur's experiment was all about the controversy over whether (modern) microorganisms caused decay or were the product of decay-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It sounds that you dont really know his experiment,so stop pretending.Pasteur showed that even minute bacteria did not assemble in sterilized water protected from contamination. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------His statement asserted that his experiment conclusively proved that the former was true and that the latter was false -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His statement was proven experimentally. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Given the nature of the experiment there is simply no way that it could rule out modern ideas of abiogenesis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does ruled out abiogenesis and that was the experiment showed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------So all you are doing is insulting Pasteur's memory by painting him as a fool who completely failed to understand the limits of his own experiment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll agree to some degree,but his experiment clearly points out that both abiogenesis and spontaneous genaration are fraud science.HAVE FAITH THEN.

This is the Science Forum. But you recommend that we have "HAVE FAITH." Faith in what? Remember, one of the primary definitions of "faith" is:Faith: the belief in something for which there is no material evidence or empirical proof So do you have faith in the scientific method or some supernatural entity? When you can answer this question, you will have chosen whether you are pro-science or anti-science. Because there is empirical evidence to support the scientific method and its findings. There is no empirical evidence for supernatural beings. (That's where faith comes in.) When you believe in things without any empirical evidence, while rejecting opposing things for which there is a huge amount of empirical evidence, you can only be described as anti-science. Edited by Coyote, : minor edit Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

quote: My memory is that Pasteur used soup, not distilled water. And of course if he HAD used distilled water the results would have been completely unsurprising - even at the time. Nobody would remember it as important. These sites confirm my memory:Just a moment... (Stating that he used "meat broth") http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio114/spontgen.htm(a more detailed description of the experiment and what it showed) and herehttp://web.ukonline.co.uk/b.gardner/pasteur.htm None mention a relevant experiment using distilled water So now we know who was really "pretending".
quote: And your point is ?
quote: No, it only ruled out abiogenesis under conditions and timescales sufficiently similar to those in the experiment. That is a limit of the experimental method.
quote: By which you mean that you think that you can use Pasteur's experiment as an excuse to slander honest scientists .

Why can't you un-cook an egg? The death of any organism triggers an immediate chemical reaction toward decomposition, as the cells are starving themselves to death for want of energy. If this were not the case, then the successful Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation of a patient that has had absent vital signs for >6 minutes shouldn't cause any brain damage at all. It does, thus your argument is null.
Lets say we pull a fish out of a fishtank and allow it to suffocate, why can't we breath life back into it again even if all its organs are in completely intact?

Does it not sound to you very funny.hahahhahahhahaha!!!!!!!! Coyote writes: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When you can answer this question, you will have chosen whether you are pro-science or anti-science. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My reply: Given that proponents of evolution have not provide tangible evidence to support their claimed,they placed themselves as anti science.Evolution is based on preconceived philosophical ideas("faith based on what the world is like")rather on emperical evidence(facts aquired on experiment and observation).This issue is easy to settle if and only if proponents of evolution have to be honest to theirselves.Has science produced experimental confirmation that in the presence of energy from the sun and perhaps by lightning or exploding volcanoes some mindless matter moved organized theirselves and eventually became life as we know it? Coyote writes: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because there is empirical evidence to support the scientific method and its findings. .)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My reply: Does evolution followed the scientific method? Observation is one of the materials of the scientific method,when Darwin said that organism evolved was he present? In fact if the rule of science are to observed what happened and to test what can be reproduced,then evolution cannot be considered a genuine scientific theory at all. Coyote writes: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no empirical evidence for supernatural beings. (That's where faith comes in.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My reply: Can you see the wind?Can you see gravity?Can you see radiation?These are just some of the things that cannot see but still we believe.The existence of supernatural beings are supported by evidence too.

I have no idea what you are trying to say or who you are trying to say it to. Maybe reply button or db codes if it isnt too much of a bother.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Therefore your memory is so bad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- None mention a relevant experiment using distilled water ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The reference you give did not mention,yet Pasteur mention.Therefore who are liars?It is clear that you and the site you offer as reference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So now we know who was really "pretending? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You and the so called honest scientist.---------------------------------------------------------------------- And your point is ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've already give my point have you not remember?Ohhhhh,I see your memory is so bad.hahahhaha. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No, it only ruled out abiogenesis under conditions and timescales sufficiently similar to those in the experiment. That is a limit of the experimental method ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pasteur experiment based on conditions that organisms supposedly evolved,if you rearranged history you can justify your claimed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- By which you mean that you think that you can use Pasteur's experiment as an excuse to slander honest scientists---------------------------------------------------------------------- Im not a slanderer of science,in fact given that proponents of evolution pay closed attention to science fiction they became the slanderer of science.Many of them including you sacrifice scientific integrity in order to defend what they like to believe.

Well I guess I will just ignore your posts. If you can not be considerate to follow forum rules or use the tools available to make discussion easier then you are not worth me wasting my time trying to decipher what ever bs you are posting.

If you continue as you are, traste, you will start to receive short suspensions.
It might be a good idea to stick to only 1 or 2 threads for now so you can consider your posts more carefully. You are also expected to support any claims you make. You have been posting a great deal of utterly wrong assertions without any support for them. This will stop soon or you will have your posting slowed down for you.
