Wrong,

We dont put faith in science. The faith used in religion is different from not knowing certain things about science, way off.

I just caught up on this thread, f-ing public tranportation. I have to say I called this from the beginning. Go back and have a look. I said truck driver guy = Vox day, and pubgrab.

"This is all nothing but a publicity stunt. Any publicity is good. It is a compliment to this site, and Josh's work, that sending people here to mention the book is considered useful publicity, as it indicates the significance of the site. My impression is that anything we do to respond is going to give this fellow more money in terms of hardback sales."

100% right, fuck this guy and his book. Im not reading it, ill take someone elses word on it.

Comment #118255 by righton on January 30, 2008 at 2:10 pm

This argument of who killed more people is so stupid. Over the thousands of years religion has been around id say a very small percentage of the total deaths resulting from religion have beeen documented, not to mention the ruining of lives and physical/emotional suffering it has caused. Isnt this proof that god isnt all powerful, the religion he created causes suffering and death. I dont care how many deaths, one death is proof. If god did create this religion I dont really like him and dont want to hang out in his so called heaven.

Why did you choose christianity. There are plenty other belief systems that follow your philosophy of life better than christianity. It sounds like your making up your own religion and then making it somehow fit into christianity.

"According to the theory, this recognition mechanism is stronger the longer the genes are."

The affect is cumulative. Either the bases are causing this or God is interveneing. Soon we will know how this works, science rules.

Comment #116962 by righton on January 27, 2008 at 11:01 pm

"This really fascinates me. We see this kind of 'I know best' attitude in other areas, not just religion. We see people with little or no knowledge claiming to know more than thousands of researchers in areas like medicine (homeopathy), and climate (global warming). It is as if when certain feelings are challenged, some mental defence kicks in which is a combination of paranoia (the scientific consensus is in denial, and trying to hide the truth) and extreme arrogance (I can read a few words in the bible and know better than thousands of biologists with decaded of experience)."

Amazing point Steve.

I like the example of global warming. For so many years global warming was taken as a joke or a hoax. If you ever heard someone bring it up people would kind of laugh at it. No its finally getting more respect and taken seriously. Global warming is also a good example because there are obvious reasons why certain people, like oil companies, would not want the public to believe this. Global warming --> oil company.
Evolution --> religion

Both have a lot of power to spread lies about the science.

"In aqueous solution, "long distance" for electrostatic interaction is more than a few water molecule radii apart."

I dont understand what your saying with this.

There are plenty of very subtle interactions in molecular biology and it just doesnt seem that suprising to me. If these similar pieces of dsDNA happen to come into close proximity of each other they will stay close due to a subtle favorable interaction between electronegative charges on the surface of the molecules.

699. 'Telepathic' Genes Recognize Similarities In Each Other

Comment #116956 by righton on January 27, 2008 at 10:30 pm

I don think it happens over long distances. THe effect sounds like it is subtle as in they dont pair together strongly. If they happen to come into close proximity of each other then the electronegative interactions are seen.

The bases are not necesarily completely tucked away. Restriction enzymes are able to identify specific sequences of double stranded DNA.
