Are you trying to lampoon The Good Book?

It would be difficult to lampoon The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Imagine that? There was this "Big Bang" explosion, tremendous heat, components went outward (as explosions tend to do), and then somehow these disparate components came together in just the right combinations and in the correct environment, over hundreds of millions of years and voila, we have intricacy that we are just now becoming aware of. Yah, that's believable. NOT! It's even more ludicrous than the analogy of having a steel plant which blows up and disintegrates but millions of years later there is the beginning of a Boeing 747 that starts to appear, all on its own.

What we can already see and partly understand only happens because of design and a Designer. I would think that Engineers would understand that. There are Natural Laws of how things work from the point of Creation.

Yea, right.

And some guy herded a pair of all the animals on the planet onto a magic boat after that big rain came. Lo and behold, everyone lived happily ever after.

You will not find many here who subscribe to magic and miracles as an explanation of things.

Well, I stayed at a Holliday Inn Express last night. I laid awake all night wondering if there is a Dog.

I have always suspected that dogs knew more than they were letting on.

Once, I followed my dog after giving him a bone and found him with other dogs (some wearing glasses and white lab coats) gathered around the partially completed skeleton of a cow.

A Designer explains creation as well or better than "it just happened, just right, at the right time".

Positing a "designer" explains nothing at all. It gives no detail of how anything happened, confers no information about the subject, and enables no predictions. Even if true, it is scientifically useless.

Quite. And where did the designer come from?

Kent Hovinds movies explain everything. That is to people who want the truth.

David K,

Please go away!

This thread is about advances in microscopy not some idiot named Kent Hominids or whatever.

I've looked at all your posts and the are all off topic and inappropriate for this forum, in my opinion.

If you cannot reach your idol, Kent Hoveround, in jail by divine intervention or voodoo

He'll be out in about 10 minutes, if the earth is only 6,000 years old.

Otherwise, I'd suggest that you find a new forum.

"There is no evidence for evolution." What evidence do you have of creationism?

"Watch Kent Hovinds movies." If this is proof of creationism, then faith has been removed. Without faith there is no God. Ergo, there is no God. Q.E.D.

A believer once accused me, as an atheist, of having no morals. I responded that my morals were the only thing that kept me from becoming a pastor, gathering a flock of followers, and fleecing them... every Sunday... forever.

I'm not an atheist, but the Young Earthers (I call them) are some of the best reasons I know of for becoming one.

Amazing! I wonder what cell division under exposure to RF and Microwave would show?

Maybe a move from care to cure?

This is amazing. I flew from O'Hare to Albany back in 1988, there were 12 of us on this plane including crew. 1 guy was a electron microscope calibrator He was 1 of 2 in the world at that time and was almost never home. These microscope operate in subzero temps. He has to acclimate to the temp of the scope before performing any maintenance. Could take 4 hours for him to get cold enough to get near the control panel. This was in 1988. I would think they would have made some serious changes by now. But this is awesome to see cells. Back in 1988 they cold look at an atom. So much farther now. Amazing technology!!

I wonder how the viewing field is stabilized at this level of magnification?

Another cool video to add to my collection (of links). Thanks!!

You may have seen this one also; a light pulse travelling through a bottle, visualised at one trillion frames per second.
