You and I know that those seals are the devil's work to get off first time, especially intact - yes, he had taken it off carefully before before filming; he had to check beforehand that no new life had formed. [^]

I feel a little torn about this one, if it's parody - it's excellent. If it's real, well, oh dear... I just worry that some people would believe it.

Post by: Evie on 30/09/2008 14:09:15: Oh, no, it's not parody. Chuck Missler is a real evangelical who formed a church called Koinonia House in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

For some interesting reading, take a look at this list of "technical" articles (all about science!!! Really!!!) on his website. http://www.khouse.org/articles_cat/2008/technical/

Post by: Don_1 on 30/09/2008 17:19:17: I conducted my own test on this theory. I bought a jar of peanut butter and checked to see that it was OK. When I went to inspect it today, low and behold, THERE WAS LIFE IN IT.

Yes I can report that Chuck Missler has been involved in a cover up.

Life on Earth DID begin in a jar of peanut butter. Eat your heart out Darwin.(https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freesmileys.org%2Fsmileys%2Flaughing025.gif&hash=f912cfc9f54d216ef6a4aac9c993b653) (http://www.freesmileys.org)

Peanutbutter owned evolution, single handedly.

Post by: Don_1 on 12/10/2008 10:57:02: I actually did buy some peanut butter the other day, because of this thread. I remember I used to love it when I was a kid.

It' not as I remember it. Got dextrose in it!!! YUK. I'm sure it shouldn't have a sweet taste.

Post by: Don_1 on 26/10/2008 13:59:07: I am now testing this theory on a jar of Nutella.

There certainly seems to be something going on in this jar. Every time I open it for an inspection there appears to be less in it than the last time.

These guys just don't understand NUMBERS.
He used the word 'billions' and implied that it was an unthinkably large amount. How ignorant can you get?

Post by: VAB on 24/12/2010 17:07:05: Hey all,

Do yourselves a favour and read the book "In the Footsteps of Eve" by Lee R Berger. It clearly proves that fatty acids (contained in all nuts and also fish) are the reason for the growth of the human brain. It's actually a really entertaining book to read; not academic and also not based on nonsense!Certainly clearly proves how the brain developed and also why...
