Roosters don't exist. You don't exist. None of us do. It's impossible.

It's been a bad month for Iraqi executioners.

He got the joke. Give the boy a merit badge.

This CPA will never doing my taxes.

Soon we'll be the knights that say nuke.

STFU, rodent. You never evolved. It's impossible.

I got nothing.

Another flaw in the Seahawk Paradox. The author uses probability theory, a proven, fundamental building block of our science and technology, to prove that what has already occurred is impossible, insinuating that some extra force, God, whatever, is needed to presumably a) make probability theory invalid, which doesn't make any sense or b) make the probabilities involved low enough to make the outcome of life likely. Well, gravity, the atomic forces and the electromagnetic force already do this job for you. No extra 'God force' required.

His DNA sequences are dissembling.

At least I can handle simple english tenses and the proper use of 'your' verses 'you're'. This doesn't exactly boost your scientific credibility. As for your author, perhaps he was debating the Los Alamos janitorial staff.

Duh.

The probability of life occuring spontenously is 1: We're already here. Your analysis above, by the way, has been debunked for decades. Aside from the fact that you didn't even bother to present the format of your probabilities correctly (perhaps you were absent when the teacher presented scientific notation in grade school), this analysis is flawed in its suggestion that complex molecules are built in an entirely random fashion of things just bumping into other things. Many experiments have shown that a 'soup' of simple organic molecules will very quickly self assemble into RNA strings just as long as in your example. They do so because various certain atoms and molecules molecules have an affinity for each other, they are 'driven' to bond together by electromagnatic and atomic forces. An analogy: if you were dropped from a balloon, what is the probability you'll fall straight down? According to your logic, it would be nearly zero (since the direction of fall is 'randomly' determined. The presence of gravity, however, makes the probability 100%. So too, with molecular reactions. The forces involved (including gravity, which brings far away things together) make them inevitable under the right conditions. In addition, the building of long chain molecules happens sequentially, and hierachically, with each addition having a much higher probability than those you mention. This makes it quite likely that complex organic structures form quickly under the right conditions...just as experimentation has shown. Linky "In 1974, the German biologist Manfred Eigen (originator of the so-called Quasispecies Model) and his coworkers ran a similar experiment, but they did not introduce a single strand of RNA into the proper uncontaminated broth. Surprisingly enough, RNA strands appeared spontaneously which were almost as large as Spiegelman's monster (about 120 nucleotides, on average). So, it seems that something almost alive will necessarily appear, provided the proper building blocks are put together in a relatively crude way... In 1953, the celebrated Miller/Urey experiment proved conclusively that the most basic constituents of life (the 20 amino-acids) could indeed form spontaneously rather easily, in the presence of lightning, under the very anaerobic conditions prevalent at the surface of the young Earth. Although this is very far from a final solution to the puzzle, this constitutes a pretty strong hint that, given enough time, some kind of broth could form naturally with all the constituents that would make the appearance of rudimentary replicating "things" more or less unavoidable.

No excuses. Cooking for Dummies Besides...you've got zero chance of getting a security clearance.

No , do not CALL me.....I will have no choice but to give it to my secretary. Lonely, rural women faced with first dates will be granted the service of big, strapping secret service agents who cook a mean huevos rancheros and can fix the dryer...in case the date doesn't work out.

George Clinton will be Secretary of Funk. with bootsy collins on bass!!!!!!!!!! as under sec. Mount Rushmore will be recarved into the faces of Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, James Brown, and Hank Williams Sr.

Rather than threaten or punish North Korea, we will reward them for their hutzpah by granting them the territory of Iraq.

The official motto of the United States will be "One of the Top Ten Best Countries in the World." This alone should balance the budget within a year.

common name: Showy Loco Weed A flag with lavendar will be highly controversial.

George Clinton will be Secretary of Funk.

Bush will finally go to Mars. Cheney will be sent into close orbit around the sun with his bare ass protruding into space through a specially designed airlock so that it may be 'peppered' with near molten micrometeors.

Dooooode..That cuts.Im not up for family planning, Been there done that.Im thru with it,all my puppys are grown and outclimbing me. Tax exempt status for all churches will be eliminated under the Equal Protection Clause. The extra revenue will be used to set up free high speed internet dating services, cooking instruction, and wine classes so that every American can get laid as often as they need to. This, alone, will reduce most of the anger and frustration in this country.

A new flag will be needed. Red, white and blue goes with nothing...it's worse than the Ford logo. No, the new, greener America will need the same color on its flag, perhaps in the shape of a leaf, from a plant that everyone is familiar with and that truly speaks to our national character...I'm consulting my staff for ideas...

As a conciliatory gesture, I've asked congress to extend Condoleeza Rice's dental coverage so that she may finally fix that gap.

We're bypassing Jamaica for St. Vincent. Johnny Too Bad, however, will become our new national anthem.

From now on, dogs will allowed in all bars. In addition, all lawns with little cartoon dogs pooping with a red line through them will be redeveloped as dog parks.
