People who are born with the condition called Down syndrome generally have three copies of a certain chromosome (chromosome 21), rather than the usual two copies. What can you deduce from this regarding the proteins produced by a person with Down syndrome?

If God perfected all species of life on earth,(in the modern era), thru His advanced knowledge of cloning, genetic engineering, trans genetics and other means of creating and altering life that we,(humans), haven't discovered or perfected yet,(what we call evolution),doesn't that mean what ever genetic changes our scientists are making to any of these perfected creatures are actually recreating less advanced forms of these creatures that God allowed to become extinct,(thru evolution), because they weren't compatable to live together with us moden humans He was about to make as His last genetically perfected creation? Are we creating freaks of nature like those on the movie The Island of Dr. Moreau? We can only prey to God that He is not going to let this happen!

Should not the creation of such a complex creatures be a clear evidence of the existence of God?

Is there any real debate among biologists whether life begins at conception? I'm told that the human zygote meets all 7 of the characteristics of a living organism (Movement, respiration, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, reproduction, growth).

So is there a consensus among scientists? Biologists? Embryologists? Does the majority believe that life begins at conception?

Sources are appreciated!

Thanks.

I often hear proponents talk about teaching ID alongside evolution, but I have yet to see an ID textbook for students. When I ask what ID is about all I hear is people trying to poke holes in evolution, that's NOT how a scientific theory works. I've seen nothing that would represent ID as a complete, coherent theory of anything, even most of the people who are for it don't know what it is! The best I've gotten is 'ID states that the complexity of life is too great for random chance and there must have been a guiding intelligence in its creation'. That's a suggestion, not a theory. It doesn't explain anything, predict anything, and it certainly doesn't increase our understanding of anything. It's religion in a lab coat.

This article appeared on news.google.com today: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article_id=471736&in_page_id=1774

and it tells how scientists identified a gene responsible for MS. It seems new genes are getting discovered frequently. But what is the next step? What applications come from this knowledge? Currently, how far has the scientific community gone so far in developing applications from discovering genes?

And yes, I've seen Gattica. I'm hoping someone who has real world knowledge of this subject (as opposed to the movies) can answer this question.

Thanks!!!

I htink it should be an option to take the higher math. Its good for people if you plan on using it to further or better educate or self but to many others its just a waste of time.

Scientists and scholars, especially those who are religious, what do you think should be done to address the crisis of the attack on the theory of evolution by religious fundamentalists and creationsist pseudoscientists?

I understand those who would answer "education", but I have tried that and have noticed that most creationists lack precursury education inorder be properly argued against regarding evolution. Most people lack the knowledge to understand even just basic genetics and biogeography, and so creationist find it easy to pursue popaganda since they have with them "common sense".

If you are familiar with Hoyle the you should know that he and Chandra Wickramasingh the famous mathematician and astrophysist calculated the probabilities of one simple cell coming into existence by chance and they calculated (10 to the 40,000th power) years.
There was another swiss mathematician, Lecomte duNouy, said that any number greater than 10 to the 50th would simply never happen. So to zero cool I pose this statement to you any mathematician worth HIS salt should say evolution works any way. Finally to Aurora Dawn you didn't think of that response yourself either, instead of just wholeheartedly beLIEving what your teachers say. We as christians accept the fact their microevolution (adapting to environment) but NOT macroevolution ( evolving from one species to a totally different species).
