OK. How is this.

You made inappropriate comments. Al called you on it. You were embarrased. You started crying about how mean everyone is on this site. Some atheists are mean, DR is nice, therefore god exists. And because he loved me first.

My point was that your comments come across as arrogant. So again, why are you so sure god exists now???

Al,

RM has that sense of arrogance, like he just for sure knows that there is a god now and we just dont understand. The same arrogance he used against theists for months when they came to this site.

RM Why are you so sure there is a god now. Is it just because you were sexually inappropriate towards women at this site and got called on it? Is it because you think atheists are just mean people? Is it because you want attention?

No need to answer. Its because you want attention. Go away.

I think education plays a big role in intelligence. Almost everyone could be considered intelligent if they are brought up in the right environment.

If parents do not value education their children most likely will not be educated. If the children grow up and decide they value education then it is up to them to educate themselves even though they are already behind the other "intelligent" people.

Hey greek/riverrun,

al called riverrun a "chomsky catamite", not you. So how did you know about that unless you are riverrun. Its ok bud, we already knew anyway.

Actaully, I did my masters in a micro lab, mostly Bacillus. I currently work in a human genetics lab.

I am not sure what bacteria this originated in although I am sure this happened a very, very long time ago. I am pretty sure they originated as viruses.

BTW, my earlier comments in response to moradacious were just trying to say that controls and verification are done before the papers are published. This is just how science works.

moradacious1

"No other possible explanations? Contamination by a graduate student? Equipment/agar contamination?Gene already there?"

I would think that some kind of controls/test for contamination were done to make sure that this was not caused by contamination or something else. If this was reported without some kind of confirmation it would be very bad science.

"Anyway, yes, I prefer virgin (human) females. I see nothing wrong with that. In my experience, they're "tighter", humbler, more tactful and won't try to compare me with the other men they've slept with. And I enjoy teaching them to make up for their lack of experience. It's not just about them pleasuring me. Does having this preference make me a misogynist? I'd settle for old-fashioned (not in the negative sense) but certainly not religious. It has nothing to do with that in my case."

I havent been paying much attention to this thread but I had to comment on this.

Appleby. You are a sick, insecure, little man.

BTW, being a virgin has nothing to do with being "tighter", ask any doctor about this.

Also, I can't believe you said the above quote. Ur sick dude.

Can you explain why this is proof of "Creative Evolution" theory?

Are you saying that this proves the vital impulse?

Can you explain why this is proof of "Creative Evolution" theory? Sounds like proof of natural selection to me.

"Mutation seems to involve as yet unknown factors, factors which science will hopefully soon discover."

Again, I dont understand where you got this? In this case it seems that copying errors that lead to the ability to import citrate can easily explain this.

Comment #188208 by righton on June 3, 2008 at 10:52 am

They should sequence the genomes of the starting frozen E. coli and the current citrate eating E. coli then compare. Genome sequencing is getting a lot easier these days.
