The entire cell didn't spontaneously form. And I showed an amino acid chain of 32 amino acids that self replicated. It was also considered a protein.

No one said it was average proteins self replicating.

I'm just saying the number you gave had almost no numbers backing up your statement the chance of a self replicating protein being 10^260.
You just showed how much proteins you could make if you used 200 amino acids. that does not show either A. that it needs to be 200 long in order to replicate, or B. that there is only one way of making a protein that has 200 units long that can replicate. So I agree with raist unless you can find evidence to support both A. and B. then that number is meaningless in this argument.

TBH I don't know why you don't all get this.

Someone a long long time ago said that there was a very small chance of creationism being correct. I then mentioned the apparent chance of life forming on its own, if it had been like this. Please understand.

We all get what you are saying, what you aren't understanding is that we are saying that the number you quoted, and indeed the entire argument of the chance of life forming (in regards to someone throwing out a large number and implying logically that abiogenesis is wrong because of it) is irrelevant.

You prove yours first, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that your aminos formed the way you say they did 45 billion years ago.  End results don't count as proof.

In fact I'd rather not even have you prove that.  Prove to me how water got on the planet 45 billion years ago.  If you can prove that I will be willing to examine abiogensis a little closer.

Most of the universe is hydrogen. That part is easy. Stars form oxygen through fusion in the later parts of their life.

Supernovas form a nebula. The nebula had hydrogen and oxygen. Our planet formed along with the sun in this nebula. It pulled oxygen and hydrogen in various forms to the earth. They combined.
Heating up hydrogen in the presence of oxygen causes water. This can be seen fairly easily.

So did 8 other planets.  (fuck you scientists, pluto counts.)  Yet none of the others have it.   Thats still just a hypothesis on how water formed here.  Not proof.  Ive read some scientists believe comets coming close by or even crashing into earth may have caused it.  Hypothesis.  (whats the plural for hypothesis anyway?)

Im glad you are on my side, but you need to read up.  Mars' polar caps are frozen CO2 or "dry ice".

Why, because some radar thing says that there might be water under the 8 foot of CO2 ice that sits on top of the poles?  Until we go there and do a direct analysis we will never know for sure.

When the probe took photos of a ditch it had dug four days before, scientists noticed that about eight small crumbs of a bright material had disappeared. They concluded those crumbs had been water ice buried under a thin layer of dirt that vaporized when Phoenix exposed them to the air...

...Phoenix's robotic arm first revealed the crumbs about 5 cm deep in the trench called "Dodo-Goldilocks" on June 15. By June 19, they had vanished. If the crumbs had been salt, they wouldn't have disappeared, scientists said, and if the ice had been made of carbon dioxide, they wouldn't have vaporized.

Water is on mars. Sucks for you.

The temperature on the rest could be prohibitive to water formation. Like mercury, where it is so hot water separates to hydrogen and oxygen.

Before you ask why it formed here unlike other planets, just realize if it hadn't formed here we wouldn't be having this debate so it is pointless.

Here's some quotes from your articles,

The first one - The images show what appears to be brackish water seeping from beneath the Martian surface.  The discovery, if confirmed, will mark a turning point in our exploration of the Red Planet

Oops, that one didn't work, lets go to the next one.

Second article - Updated June '07: The researchers have retracted their claim about the possibility of standing water on Mars after readers pointed out the terrain lies on the sloped wall of a crater. 

Uhoh, that's strike two.  Shall we go for the Trifecta?

Third article - "A key question is 'How did the ice get there in the first place?

While I didn't find a smoking gun, so to speak, in this article I did find the same question I asked about the planet earth.  These are scientists here, you would think they would know about all this O2 and H floating around in the universe just waiting to collide a bond making H2O.

Im sorry Raist but your evidence is extremely lacking and definately not what I would call proof by any sense of the word.


So from this we can say that your original argument of it "just happened" isn't going to work.  Are we going to start debating comets now?

Okay four of the 9 planets are gas giants. so they couldn't have water.
two of the planets are too hot too have liquid water.
We don't know what composes Pluto  surface, and mars doesn't have enough gravity two hold onto an atmosphere. without an atmosphere all the water would evaporate and get blown away by the solar wind. in fact the only molecule  that seems to be able to stay on mars in a gas phase is CO2 which is over twice as heavy as H20. So although there is no water on the surface of any of any of the planets there is a logical reason for it.

Find a single scientist who does not know how water got here and I'll show you someone that needs to take a little more chemistry.

The reason they are doubtful about mars is because it lacks an atmosphere.

Look up jupiter's moons. One of them is covered in ice. Water ice.

http://www.solarviews.com/eng/europa.htm

Then we have comets made of ice. You are trying to make water sound like this rare chemical that only exists in select quantities in rare places. It is a compound easily made from two common atoms.

this article is on water being one of the most abundant chemicals in the universe.

Water is not rare.

Pluto is also mostly ice and its moon Charon is suspected to have water.  Hell, even the Sun is thought to have trace amounts of water vapor.

Warrdog will switch from "god made the earth special, that's why it has water" to the equally profound "god made water everywhere so Earth could exist"


I ask you this warrdog, do you seriously think god, with infinite power, infinite time, infinite wisdom, poofed the earth into existence exactly as it was 8,000 years ago, but made it look much older. Then he explained it to the people of long ago who did not really care about its age. Then we develop ways to figure out about how old it is, and he feels no need to tell us we are wrong?

Why didn't god create the universe the way it looks like it is created? Do you seriously believe he lacks the power to set up every event and miracle he wanted to happen from the beginning?

Everything I have read has stated that the ice on Pluto is at least partly composed of frozen water.  The rest is mostly frozen nitrogen, I believe.
