    "The observer" in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics
    is not God. Otherwise, God would go around collapsing wave functions
    as he observed them, before humans got a chance to add their
    observations in.

    Preventing decoherence (roughly the same thing as wave function
    collapse) by humans is one of the most important goals in the search

    Okay so back when usenet was still a thing, back before
    it was abandoned by all excepting for a nym shifting
    troll working out it's self inflicted trauma, there used
    to be real debated on "God" and "Proof."

    They sucked, none of them ever rose above the recital of
    something they once read followed by childish taunts, but
    there were debates. Between people. And one of the dumbest
    was when so called "Atheists" demanded evidence for the
    existence of God.

    This was dumb for two reasons, btw, and by that I mean
    three reasons.

    #1. When they said "Evidence" they meant "Proof." Seems
    few if any people in all the history of usenet were even
    aware that there is a difference.

    They always just assumed that one was an alternative
    spelling for the other...

    #2. The fakers, the so called "Atheists" couldn't meet
    their own standards that they tried to impose on theists.

    The fake "Atheists," for example, disallowed self reports,
    personal testimony. This wasn't actual "Evidence" they
    claimed. But, without it they had ZERO evidence for even
    the existence of atheists!

    There's no "Atheist" label inside of bones, no marker in
    human DNA. The only "Evidence" for the existence of
    atheists is the fact that some people say that they're an
    atheist, and the online whack jobs had already disallowed
    such self reports.

    So, know what they did? The fake atheists, when this
    contradiction was pointed out; do you know what they did?

    Nothing. Well, the doubled down on their stupidity and
    insisted that it was "Different" when they did it...

    #3. The theists had evidence. Plenty of it. Maybe some
    did not find it compelling but even evidence that isn't
    compelling is still evidence. Let's start with medical
    miracles! And then there's the fact that science itself
    regularly invokes God for an explanation. Of course
    they have to change the name to avoid triggering the
    stupid people so instead of "God" they say "Observer"
    in the Copenhagen interpretation. They say the
    "Programmer" in the simulated Universe or even the
    "Brain universe."

    Again: Evidence is not an alternative spelling of "Proof."


    Now the point here isn't that you can't ask for "Evidence."
    No. The point to all this is that the focus needs to be on
    ourselves, not some other person.

    Fake atheists can't see themselves and won't even try. This
    is how their hypocrisy is invisible to them. THEY can
    dismiss self reports of evidence even as they insist upon
    them for themselves, because... well... it's because they
    can't see themselves. They are blind to their own faith,
    their own prejudices.

    This applies to the topic of religion and God, yes, but
    also aliens and even ghosts and other paranormal
    phenomena...

    Look. A narcissist attempts to obstruct conversation. They
    want to interfere with it, stop it. They demand "Evidence"
    knowing full well that they're never going to believe
    anything. So...

    If you care, if you actually want someone to change your
    mind, even if you know that they can't, don't ask for
    "Cites" or "Evidence."

    That's just the symptom of a narcissistic personality
    disorder... assuming you're not a full blown sociopath or
    psychopath.

    Instead, try to be aware of yourself: What would convince
    you?

    And I'm speaking at a minimum, not an extreme.

    Honestly, and this is true here, if the only thing capable
    of convincing you that there's life on other worlds is if
    one lands their saucer in front of you, takes you for a
    ride, let's you beam your high school bully into a wall
    before probing your anus & tagging you with one of their
    implants, you're the problem. You're wasting everyone's
    time.

    Science doesn't work that way. Nothing could get done
    if all our researchers were time-wasting narcissists like
    you are.

    Deconstruct the problem. make the proverbial "Sound
    Scientific Inference," and present it to others, preferably
    people who are not demented, to see if they can find
    errors in your inferences. This gives you the basis for
    predictions and it's those predictions, if tested properly.
    which will provide you with the evidence for or against.

    Change you.

    That's the point, MyCock. Without God, there is no "Observer" to
    collapse ANYTHING until humans or similarly conscious beings are
    around to make the observations.

    This is obvious, so you win no points for ignoring it.

    Actually, Personne Ne t'aime, a camera can collapse a wave function.
    No consciousness is required. Even a magnetic field interacting with
    the spins of particles could do it.

    And I thought that God limited himself/herself/itself to the "fall of
    every sparrow" and similar such things,

    "His eye is on the sparrow, so I know he watches me," as the song
    goes.

    but to think how busy God must
    be deciding the spin of every elementary particle in the Universe!

    He's got skillz!

    Rather the conclusion of a scientist after examining the evidence.

    quite uncomfortable in this situation, the state of mind I now find

    driven to this position by logic. There is no other way in which we

    Okay, you didn't answer my question, and that is fine.

    There has been abundant scientific evidence in the
    last 40 years, as well an since the very beginning of
    time telling us that there has been a super Intelligence
    involved in our existence.

    Such as what? Direct evidence, not indirect evidence.

    I just posted direct evidence above..

    No, you posted what you interpreted as evidence.


    If you can't see it, that tells us you don't want to see it.

    But then that would tell us that you were a fool.

    Only a fool would consider a lack of an alternate as
    evidence.


    "A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that
    a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as
    with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind
    forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one
    calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as
    to put this conclusion almost beyond question."
    ~ Fred Hoyle, astrophysicist

    Opinion without supporting fact.

    Rather the conclusion of a scientist after examining the evidence.

    With nothing to support that conclusion as being valid.


    "From my earliest training as a scientist I was very strongly
    brainwashed to believe that science cannot be consistent with any kind
    of deliberate creation. That notion has had to be painfully shed. I am
    quite uncomfortable in this situation, the state of mind I now find
    myself in. But there is no logical way out of it. I now find myself
    driven to this position by logic. There is no other way in which we
    can understand the precise ordering of the chemicals of life except to
    invoke the creations on a cosmic scale. . . We were hoping as
    scientists that there would be a way round our conclusion, but there
    isn't."
    ~ Sir Frederick Hoyle and Chandra Wickramsinghe,

    Isaac Newton was an alchemist.

    Besides their personal experiences,

    the time: The "Observer" in the Copenhagen Interpretation,
    or "The programmer" in the Simulated Universe hypothesis...

    That is only evidence from the theist point of view, which
    is based upon faith.

    The point of view of others is based upon science, which is
    entirely different.


    Yes, the people of science do have to call God by another

    just be another name...


    Wrong. Science is based upon fact while religion is based
    upon faith and the two do not meet.

    No. You suffer from a stunning array of mental disorders, most
    of which prevent you from ever grasping WHAT the word "Evidence"
    even means.

    This is how and why you simultaneously accept and deny personal
    testimony as "Evidence." For your kind it's all about feelings,
    your warm & fuzzies... your faith.

    Testimony is evidence. It can convict you in a court of law,
    "Beyond a reasonable doubt," and what you blithering idiots,
    you malformed rejects keep insisting is that you only accept
    "Evidence" above and beyond what can convict & execute person,
    at least when it's people you don't want to be right. If it's
    anyone you agree with, then suddenly personal testimony is
    rock solid proof and not just evidence...

    Secondly, as you are oh so "Check & mate," can you just

    Yeah, just go ahead and cite this abiogenesis here:

    Oops! We found an error.

    Well. ANOTHER error...

    And how is it you know how long it takes for abiogenesis to
    occur?

    No? You're just making shit up?

    Exactly.


    A whole astonishing Wikipedia article is devoted to this subject:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    One undeniable fact is that there are credible, distinguished scientists
    who are studying this subject. And, here is a book from the National Academies Press, the publishing arm of the United States National
    Academy of Sciences on this subject:

    https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10753/genesis-the-scientific-quest-for-lifes-origin

    And, so, serious science is being done.

    Serious science has already seriously studied this issue.
    So if YOU are at all -serious-, then you will seriously
    take heed to what SCIENCE has seriously concluded
    on this very issue.

    Hard science is settled by repeated testing, experiment
    and observation.Spontaneous generation used to be a
    mainstream scientific teaching for a long time until it
    was proven wrong by the hard science experiments of
    Louis Pasteur and Francesco Redi.

    We now know for SURE that biologic life comes only
    from previously existing biologic life. There is no more
    debate, Except today there are fools who like to argue a
    gainst what science has already determined.

    Folks, if you want the truth, go with the science and
    avoid the fools..

    This is now a law of science.

    ~~The "Law of Biogenesis"~~

    Life comes only from previously existing life,
    and that of its own kind. It is a law of science.

    Even if you can't possibly understand how

    If you need to pretend that evidence is not evidence, the

    Not really. Frequently it is inherent in the evidence

    You need to STOP pretending to "Argue" here. Testimony

    I am accepting your definition for this discussion. Why are

    Why do you clip every post down to a minimal number of words

    First off I need to congratulate you on your courage in

    anyone is brave enough to agree with those you've already
    agreed with since before they spoke.

    Secondly, as you are oh so "Check & mate," can you just
    go ahead and cite some examples of this abiogenesis you
    think you seeing being studied?

    Yeah, just go ahead and cite this abiogenesis here:

    Oops! We found an error.

    Well. ANOTHER error...

    And how is it you know how long it takes for abiogenesis to
    occur?

    No? You're just making shit up?

    Exactly.

    A whole astonishing Wikipedia article is devoted to this subject:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    One undeniable fact is that there are credible, distinguished
    scientists who are studying this subject. And, here is a book from
    the National Academies Press, the publishing arm of the United States
    National Academy of Sciences on this subject:

    https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10753/genesis-the-
    scientific-quest-for-lifes-origin

    And, so, serious science is being done.

    Serious science has already seriously studied this issue.
    So if YOU are at all -serious-, then you will seriously
    take heed to what SCIENCE has seriously concluded on this very issue.

    Hard science is settled by repeated testing, experiment
    and observation.Spontaneous generation used to be a mainstream
    scientific teaching for a long time until it
    was proven wrong by the hard science experiments of
    Louis Pasteur and Francesco Redi.

    We now know for SURE that biologic life comes only
    from previously existing biologic life. There is no more debate, Except
    today there are fools who like to argue a
    gainst what science has already determined.

    Folks, if you want the truth, go with the science and
    avoid the fools..

    This is now a law of science.

    ~~The "Law of Biogenesis"~~

    Life comes only from previously existing life, and that of its own kind.
    It is a law of science.

    Then you should complain! Write to your congressperson, the NIH, the
    NAS, the NSF, and even, the Trump administration, and tell them to STOP
    using YOUR tax dollars to FUND this research!!

    What this research has basically consisted of has been
    a number of scenarios on how life could have started.
    All of which were built upon a foundation of fantasy.

    Nothing to do with real world *science*.

    If that were true,

    "RNA, proteins and the genetic code that binds them each look like
    products of natural selection. This raises the question of what

    will objectively merit the label of life's origin, or whether life
    unfolds seamlessly from the non-living universe."

    You cite a "fantasized scenario" on how life could have started.
    But there is a difference between a fantasized scenario and real
    world *science*.

    And if you knew more about the science of the subject involved,

    it would identify them to be fools
    for ignoring what empirical, real world science has
    *ALREADY* << established to be true!!

    Science has shown that mice don't spontaneously emerge
    from bales of hay.

    We now know that biologic life comes -->only<-- from previously
    existing biologic life. There is no more debate; except today there
    are some fools who like to argue against what science has already
    determined.

    It has not shown that much simpler forms of life couldn't evolve
    from non-living precursors

    Such as in the fantasized scenario that you cited above. Right?
    Yes, but here in real world biology, DNA always exists before
    RNA. In other words, you will not have RNA apart from the
    DNA that it came from.

    by chemical and replicational evolution in the early earth.

    It happens in your --> fantasy world.

    Therefore any attempt to reason with them would
    be futile. As the wise man told us many ages ago.

    So what is it that you're doing here on Usenet?

    Good point!

    "Do not try to reason with a foolish person.
    He will only ignore the wisdom you try to

    ~ Proverbs 23:9

    Apparently atheists on the Internet (those you prefer to harass)

    If you feel 'harassed', it is because your fantasies
    have been exposed to be such in the light of truth.

    fantasy is not "looks like the products of natural selection."

    That was not the issue in this thread, but it hints as to the origin of

    So if he is, tell us whether or not this matches
    up to what you claim to know about him:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life

    "Life, also known as biota, refers to matter that has biological
    processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes. It is
    defined descriptively by the capacity for homeostasis, organisation, metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, and reproduction.

    ALL the above must be present for life to be. So where did
    it originate? When considering that question, this is the key
    point to remember.

    "The key point to remember in abiogenesis research is:
    There is no way in hell that proteins could have formed

    No,

    No, like I said (and you snipped), saying "My imaginary friend Jesus
    did it"

    The fact that you think you must lie to support your position,
    is evidence that your position is false; and that you are trying
    to fight against the truth..

    is the *real* fantasy, not what the hard-working
    progress-making scientists doing ongoing abiogenesis research are
    telling us.

    Tell us anything they are doing that is not based upon fantasy.

    You can't.

    fantasy is not "looks like the products of natural selection."
    Going by what something looks like is, "to first order" what you

    Invoking miracles to explain the origin of life is not scientific.

    The fact remains that, life comes "only from" preexisting life.

    And those who "rule out" any option are not interested in truth.

    It's simple logic, Andrew. If life *only* comes from life,

    That haappens to be a "scientific fact" with no exceptions noted ever.

    (and life according to you) came from God, then God must be life. See it now?

    Oh, so that's your problem! That exposes the underling
    reason of_why_you are foolishly trying to fight against
    the truth.

    So if he is, tell us whether or not this matches

    ALL the above must be present for life to be. So where did

    You're assuming half-alive creatures can't exist. But those kind of replicators almost certainly existed.

    They did and do exist --> in the fantasy world of fools.

    When considering that question, this is the key
    point to remember.

    "The key point to remember in abiogenesis research is:

    ~Vincent Maycock

    Sure, I'm an RNA-first kind of guy.

    In the real world, RNA comes only from
    DNA, which itself comes only from pre-
    existing DNA. You should have known
    that!

    A lone RNA molecule would have no
    function or purpose apart from the code
    that it receives from DNA.

    The RNA world hypothesis is in effect a
    *fantasy world* for fools who reject real
    world *science*.

    We now know for SURE that biologic life comes only
    from previously existing biologic life. There is no more debate, Except
    today there are fools who like to argue a
    gainst what science has already determined.

    Folks, if you want the truth, go with the science and
    avoid the fools..

    This is now a law of science.

    ~~The "Law of Biogenesis"~~

    Life comes only from previously existing life, and that of its own kind.
    It is a law of science.

    Then you should complain! Write to your congressperson, the NIH, the
    NAS, the NSF, and even, the Trump administration, and tell them to STOP
    using YOUR tax dollars to FUND this research!!

    What this research has basically consisted of has been
    a number of scenarios on how life could have started.
    All of which were built upon a foundation of fantasy.

    Nothing to do with real world *science*.

    So why don't you contact any of the organizations she mentioned? >>>>>>>>> *They* obviously think it's real world *science*.

    If that were true,

    It is. For example, from

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8867283/

    "RNA, proteins and the genetic code that binds them each look like >>>>>>> products of natural selection. This raises the question of what
    step(s) preceded these particular components? Answers here will
    clarify whether any discrete point in time or biochemical evolution >>>>>>> will objectively merit the label of life's origin, or whether life >>>>>>> unfolds seamlessly from the non-living universe."

    You cite a "fantasized scenario" on how life could have started. >>>>>>But there is a difference between a fantasized scenario and real >>>>>>world *science*.

    No,

    The link you posted was a "fantasized scenario". Anyone may see that.

    No, like I said (and you snipped), saying "My imaginary friend Jesus
    did it"

    The fact that you think you must lie to support your position,
    is evidence that your position is false; and that you are trying
    to fight against the truth..

    Your above statement was a lie. And you are obfuscating
    because you are trying to argue against truth. So you throw
    dust in the air instead of acknowledging truth.

    is the *real* fantasy, not what the hard-working
    progress-making scientists doing ongoing abiogenesis research are
    telling us.

    Tell us anything they are doing that is not based upon fantasy.

    You can't.

    Au contraire.

    From

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    This is what they say:
    __________________________________________
    "The transition from non-life to life has never been observed
    experimentally, but many proposals have been made."

    "The turning point of non-life to life has never been put into
    one experimental set up.

    "There are of course, several hypotheses, and this plethora of
    ideas means already that we do -not- have a convincing one." __________________________________________

    I asked you to tell us anything they are doing that was not
    based upon fantasy. The site you posted showed that I was
    correct in saying that, you can't.. Thank you.

    we have

    "In line with the RNA world hypothesis, much of modern biology's
    templated protein biosynthesis is done by RNA molecules-namely tRNAs
    and the ribosome (consisting of both protein and rRNA components)."

    "Modern biology" does~not exist~in an abiotic environment.

    fantasy is not "looks like the products of natural selection."
    Going by what something looks like is, "to first order" what you
    should accept as a starting point in one's intellectual endeavors.

    If one wants the truth, they would not resort to fantasy. Especially >>>>when *science* has -already- spoken. If they do, then they are not >>>>interested in the truth.

    Invoking miracles to explain the origin of life is not scientific.

    The fact remains that, life comes "only from" preexisting life.

    No, it's you, not science, that says that.

    And those who "rule out" any option are not interested in truth.

    What do you think about this:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/exchristian/comments/7ymqmr/trying_to_use_a_miracle_as_part_of_mathematical/

    More obfuscating by you. Because you argue against truth.

    And if you knew more about the science of the subject involved,
    you would not have so easily been deceived. But I suspect you
    are strongly influenced by 'philosophical prejudice' that skews >>>>>>your perception.

    Why would such a "philosophical prejudice" develop, in your view?

    Because some place a greater value on their biases than on the truth.

    Where would that bias come from in the first place?

    it would identify them to be fools
    for ignoring what empirical, real world science has
    *ALREADY* << established to be true!!

    Science has shown that mice don't spontaneously emerge
    from bales of hay.

    We now know that biologic life comes -->only<-- from previously >>>>>>existing biologic life. There is no more debate; except today there >>>>>>are some fools who like to argue against what science has already >>>>>>determined.

    I take it that to make your rule of thumb work you have to assume
    that your god is alive.

    That was not the issue in this thread, but it hints as to the origin of >>>>your biases.

    It's simple logic, Andrew. If life *only* comes from life,

    That happens to be a "scientific fact" with no exceptions noted ever.

    God has not been observed creating life-- no exceptions ever.

    Many things humans have made that you never observed them making.

    But they exist.

    (and life according to you) came from God, then God must be life. See it now?

    Oh, so that's your problem! That exposes the underling
    reason of_why_you are foolishly trying to fight against
    the truth.

    So God is not alive, then?

    So if he is, tell us whether or not this matches
    up to what you claim to know about him:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life

    "Life, also known as biota, refers to matter that has biological
    processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes. It is
    defined descriptively by the capacity for homeostasis, organisation, >>>>> metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, and reproduction. >>>>
    ALL the above must be present for life to be. So where did
    it originate?

    You're assuming half-alive creatures can't exist. But those kind of
    replicators almost certainly existed.

    They did and do exist --> in the fantasy world of fools.

    Are viruses part of a fantasy world?

    When considering that question, this is the key
    point to remember.

    "The key point to remember in abiogenesis research is:
    There is no way in hell that proteins could have formed
    by non-biological chemical processes...in terms of their
    process of origin, they are churned out only by machines
    in living cells that use the genetic code as part of their
    production apparatus."
    ~Vincent Maycock

    Sure, I'm an RNA-first kind of guy.

    In the real world, RNA comes only from
    DNA, which itself comes only from pre-
    existing DNA. You should have known
    that!

    You mean in the *present world,* not
    in the "real world."

    What happens in present world biology
    -IS- the "real world".

    A lone RNA molecule would have no
    function or purpose apart from the code
    that it receives from DNA.

    No, its "purpose" would be to replicate.

    To replicate it must first have code. Which
    comes from DNA. So 'RNA world' without
    DNA doesn't work.

    The RNA world hypothesis is in effect a
    *fantasy world* for fools who reject real
    world *science*.

    Why don't you share with us the "science"
    found in saying "God did it"?

    "All of us who study the origin of life find
    that the more we look into it, the more we
    feel it is too complex to have evolved any
    where."

    It's never been observed in nature.

    It's never been observed under any conditions,

    However it IS observed in the fantasy world of
    the fool. Depending on the power of his fantasy
    and the degree of his foolishness..

    and all attempts to produce it under laboratory conditions
    have failed.

    However it was successful in exposing those
    attempting to produce it ---> to be fools.

    Because they should have known better, since
    *science* has already settled this matter long
    ago.

    Abiogenesis meets the criteria of religion: If a object of
    faith, a faith that is maintained despite all evidence to the
    contrary.
