awww....

Big kitties are so beautiful. The one thing i liked about Aladdin was Jasmine's pet tiger. These cats make me think of Sneaux, Luinel's pet on WoW. i want to have a bunch of huge cats laying around my house in Heaven. (:

ok, i am utterly confused

Wade through this if you can, but i will summarize for you. Creationist interviewing people to find out their opinion is wrong? Okay, i will admit that this video has no scientific merit whatsoever, and that they are apparently skewing the truth and evidence. But I haven't been able to study the research of this video's creator, either. The thing that most confuses me is: "abiogenesis is not evolution." What??? First off, what is Abiogenesis?

"The now discredited theory that living organisms can arise spontaneously from inanimate matter; spontaneous generation." (courtesy of Dictionary.com)

"In the natural sciences, abiogenesis, the question of the origin of life, is the study of how life on Earth might have emerged from non-life." (from Wikipedia)

"Classical notions of abiogenesis, now more precisely known as spontaneous generation, held that complex, living organisms are generated by decaying organic substances, e.g. that mice spontaneously appear in stored grain or maggots spontaneously appear in meat." (from Wikipedia)

Okay, so i guess that we can all agree that the classical notion (now termed spontaneous generation) has been disproved... But how is that not evolution? Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the theory of how evolution began that 1. the universe was created by a big explosion of energy and matter that came from absolutely nowhere, and 2. billions of years later, single cell life just happened to have been created out of nothing? That was what i recall my high school biology textbook said, at any rate. More than that, the book said that it happened on its own.

Now, maybe some scientists are making organic matter from inorganic compounds in a laboratory, i don't really care, because you know what the proves? It proves that evolution would have to be guided by intelligence, not that it can happen on its own in a vacuum devoid of God.
