Can Science Explain Everything? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Emosaur You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? If you have nothing to offer this conversation except baseless insults, I suggest you refrain from commenting. I do not wish to engage in childish clatter with you.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate The mesozoic era spans almost 200 million years. Yeah, there are thousands of fossils, but if you narrow it to a single species line you will likewise find lots of gaps. The fossil record is nothing close to complete, it's amazing we have what we have - it's just another part in the puzzle.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate The fact remains that evolution can not even get started. There is no explanation of the primordial cell that started it all. It can't form chemically. It won't have the information it needs to function if it is simply material so immediately we run into a road block if we want to run down the road of evolution.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate He's just pointed out a huge error in your statement. Contrary to what you said, we have thousands of transitional fossils. There are also billions of hominin species walking around today. You must have encountered loads of them.

@NortiusMaximus So says the self proclaimed expert. Too funny. Tell you what sport point out one transitional fossil. Just one will do.

@hippyjoe1955
Started all what?

Life?
Life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution
Life didn’t begin with a cell (uniess you accept the creationists’ claim that a magical entity poofed all life into existence)

@NortiusMaximus
No, clearly, I used the term 'missing link' which refers to the evolutionary split between humans and their anthropoid progenitors.


Aside from humans, can you please name a few?

@newjaninev2

Interesting.. Can you name any life forms that aren't made up of cells?

@LoveTriumphsOverHate She is off her meds and thinks life began as dinosaurs. Noncellular dinosaurs at that. She is a daft old woman that like to drool a lot.

@hippyjoe1955 🤣 They're lightweight. Not even worth your time.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate Sadly this one is completely dingy. Once in a while she will almost make sense but in a few posts she has gone full insane again and denies what she just posted.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate
The progenitor for hominids was the common ancestor we share with chimpanzees. We have identified several hominid species along the line... all but one of those species now extinct (and the jury’s still out on Homo sapiens)

@newjaninev2 Oh look the NZ nutbar is posting and using words and concepts she doesn't understand. Don't worry toots you can deny this all in the morning. Just like that nonexistent first cell.... Too FUNNY!!!

@LoveTriumphsOverHate
I’m not sure what you mean by the term ‘life forms’.

Please remember that there is a 3.5 billion year distinction between the first life and present-day life. The time between abiogenesis and the arrival if cellular life is, of course, unknown, but the first cells were probably self-replicating RNA in a membrane composed of phospholipids

@newjaninev2 I don't understand what you mean. Aren't chimpanzees hominids? Please elaborate.

@newjaninev2
Living organisms . my question was - can you name any life forms that aren't made up of cells. You said life didn't start with a cell. The earliest life forms are prokaryotes, which are single-celled organisms .

@LoveTriumphsOverHate and before those..?

Life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of darwinian evolution.

any of those prior to prokaryotes?

any reason why there wouldn’t be?

@LoveTriumphsOverHate She gets cells confused over self replication. You might have to wait a bit for her to process that.

@newjaninev2 Do you believe your own spew? Seriously?

@LoveTriumphsOverHate All the Great Apes.

@hippyjoe1955 All fossils are transitional. You've been told that plenty of times but it doesn't seem to have sunk in yet.

@NortiusMaximus And you have proof of that where? Nice supposition. Too bad you have no evidence.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate

In some classification systems, yes.

In other systems, no

The term ‘hominin’ is generally used to counterpoint the more recent inclusivity
