Anti-science versus anti-Christian, film at 11

Victor sent me a link to this CBC.ca article on a recent theoretical solution proposed by two Montreal researchers:

. . . a question that has long vexed evolutionary biologists: How did a mechanism thought to help build life self-assemble?

Sergey Steinberg, a biochemistry professor at the University of Montreal, found the answer in the ribosome, a relatively large mechanism within the cell that takes RNA instruction and builds proteins.

His discovery, made with student Konstantin Bokov, has been published in the scientific journal Nature.

Scientists have long wondered how chemicals spontaneously came together to create proteins before life itself began.

Steinberg and Bokov's theory fills in a critical step in how life got started four billion years ago, said Stephen Michnick, the Canada Research Chair in Integrative Genomics at the University of Montreal.

A key breakthrough came when Steinberg found that chemicals could spontaneously come together and form something as complex as a ribosome. Previous theories had suggested only simple proteins could form spontaneously.

While the article is certainly interesting in its own right, the comment thread is another Scopes Monkey Trial in the making (comments in reverse chronological order):

There is a good likelihood that before too long, scientists WILL be able to turn a bunch of mixed molecules in a jar into a medium all-dressed - rising crust and with extra pepperoni - all at the press of a button ! They'll also be able to explain how it's done.

If your scientists are so great tell me this, can they take molecules ,in a jar and zap them with electricity, and turn them into a salami or a pizza. Nope, that takes God to make protenes, as was predicted in Hosea 13:16.

I will pray for you.

Now that's "anti-christian". Sadly for 6 human beings it's more than hooey.

Hah. The French knew this ten years ago (google ribosome site:.fr). What's really fascinating is what happens when two electrodes and direct current are added to a protein mix dissolved in water, such as the kind that athletes drink. You get hydrogen gas, the same kind as found in stars. If you don't believe me, try it at home using tin foil for the electrodes and a couple of d size batteries. This proves that stars are former planets that caught fire when their inhabitants misused electricity for strange genetic purposes. We must end these Frankenstein like experiments before our planet catches fire too.
