Scientists use Moores law in linear regression to show life older than Earth

[evince]

unless of course an intelligent designer simplified matters by taking a few short cuts.....in which case it could have happened here......

Yeah a purple unicorn

Yeah a purple unicorn

whatever you choose to believe......I'm not sure you're standing on more stable ground yourself if science is now telling you life could not have evolved here on earth......

[Timshel]

or some unproved assumptions about evolution may have to be questioned......

Such as?

[Minister of Truth]

My big question has long been how did we get amino acids? I understand how the process of evolution works, once you have amino acids, but prior to them taking form, it's a bit hazy.

Well amino acids are necessary precursors to life but life doesn't really begin till the advent of self replicating molecules, i.e. nucleic acids.

so?......

So.....we're discussing science. Not something other than science.....like ID.

actually its the other way around.....one is just a reaction in organic chemistry.....but until life occurs you only have organic chemicals......

well. science has just told us that what you believe about evolution cannot have happened in the time passed since the earth formed......what is your reaction to science proving your beliefs false?......

the previously assumed alternative is obviously also not science based on what science now tells us.....

It doesn't prove evolution false. The authors are not questioning evolution, at all.

This is just one paper, from what I understand. Has it been subjected to review yet? Have the results been repeated? The authors even address some of the assumptions that could cause problems in their estimates. I am sure you did not bother to try to digest any of it which is clear as it is based on evolutionary theory.

Assuming it is accurate, it still does not even begin to disprove or even challenge evolution.

[PostmodernProphet]

It doesn't prove evolution false.

True....but that wasn't the point was it...no one is arguing evolution does not exist........but the article states that life could not have evolved from its earliest form to intelligent life in the period of time that has passed since the origin of the earth......does that not mean that science has proven that which you believed a scientific fact is false?....

[I'm Watermark]

unless of course an intelligent designer simplified matters by taking a few short cuts.....in which case it could have happened here......

How did that intelligent designer come to be?

[PostmodernProphet]

How did that intelligent designer come to be?

didn't.......always was.......

[I'm Watermark]

didn't.......always was.......

Always, hunh? What was it/he/she doing before creating the world? Why wait so long?

No. Already answered you. The paper suggests that it is not possible. They have not proven anything. But even if they are right it still does not disprove evolution.
