Creationists vs evolutionists

Hmm well debated with a friend of mine over this for a little the other day. I jus want to say first that i'm in neither camp, and that makes me worse than either haha... Anyway, the debate mostly revolved around the possibilities and numbers supporting/rejecting either theory. For example, my friend expounded that in a cellulite cell there's basically a 1055 long protein chain, the chances for evolution to occur, would require 1 out of 1055^(no. of proteins), which would mean 1 out of 1055^20. This works out to 1 out of 3.9 x 10^1372. So he concluded that there MUST have been something to push those odd in our favour, thus he believes in creationism.

I played devil's advocate and supported evolutionism. I pointed out that the world DID take several billions years to create life and also that those possibilities likely didn't only comne about at one place on earth(i.e multiple places for testing.) Also by theory of evolution, the fittest survive, so it'd be less a case of random probability and more a case of natural selection(i.e best out of twenty to connect to existing strand will survive, rest die.) So with these evolution theories, life came about in (time taken for connection) x 20 x (lifespan of protein) / (number of tests), or after more conjecture ( 1 year x 20 x 1 year / 100) essentially it'd take less than a year for each cell to form, and many more years for them to bunch together...

But he likened, time taken for proteins to connect, to seeing a cube of sugar formed in saturated water... Haha, after which i compared coral formations and how they work in similiar ways where crystals are attracted to a 'seed' in a saturated solution and actually CAN form a cube, after enough trials..., so we added an X unknown to the equation. which i showed unless X = infinity, it would most likely take a Billion Years for life to form, which is he same prediction made by Derrick Moore.

Well, basically, we both used analogies and math calculation and theories and formulae and ended with the same answer... A headache each haha, and we didn't even drink alcohol.. ah well...

Vulgarities today: 2(need... to... decrease...)
Smses: 0
Calls: 2 one to tell me he'd be late, another from another one to pang seh me.. sigh..
Last known and recognised date: Ancient history( at least more than 3 months. ah well... feel like swearing off girls... i have all the girls i can handle... from giving tuition)

SAFTI

Things i should not forget about today.
1.) EMMIS, should not forget,but already forgotton, sian...
2.) In urban warfare, Armour technicians can triumph over Armour infantry... U'd have figured that people who handle guns everyday would know how to use them well...
3.) Singapore has some cool guns, but doesn't bother to get them for anyone, cos they have bugs in them.(tho no one seems to realise SAR21 and the M16 have bugs in them as well, one keeps getting jammed and the other is so low-tech, other weapons have advantage of range...)
4.) SAF is so typical of Singapore, when they want things done, they get it done fast and efficiently, but when ppl need them to do something, they are slow laggard and completely incompetent
5.) I have the amazing ability to be sick whenever i need to be well
6.) Promises are realy hard to keep..

Vulgarities: 3 (This is becoming a problem)
Smses: 6 (of which all i initiated)
calls: 0 (which is realy typical of oh... everyday)
Cheerio SAF, thx for nothing...

31st August

I'm home, after another guard duty... Haiz... tired i am, and having a tank test tmr i am... Well at least the today's test was relatively easy... Rather straight forward questions, so i jus used my special gift again... Just for the fun of it haha... (btw my special gift is the ability to measure bolt sizes via eyeballing, means jus looking, dun even need to test... well it works MOST of the time tt is :P)Hmm, i'm currently thinking about 4 very different things:
1) How to improve my guitar playing quickly
2) How to make use, of my recent exposure to God's love, in my life(please if u are interested in what happened to me, ask me, it will change my life, and hopefully when i'm done yours as well)
3) Start planning for university, but where to start?
4) Need to exercise/play basketball... But other than thro running which will prolly end up with me injuring my legs again.. how?

So yeah... Although i still have no gf... I'm really too busy to have one anyway.. *so one of my platoon mates says.... sian*

In other news, my committment to God starting from last Sunday, 29th August, is to stop using vulgarities... I will still swear, but by using words like 'fish', 'shoot', 'chicken'... And currently... Well not so successful... managed to reduce it from countless vulgarities a day, to 5 on Monday, 3 on Tuesday, and 2 today... Not good enough I know... But will continue to do my best haha...

Fun Phrase for the day for the day, "Definitive unbiased administrative defenestration of the inconsequential superlatives of arachnophobia" Try to figure tt one out haha tata
