What does laminin have to do with the existence of god?
It’s a protein, I think.
oh, well ummm lol mabey its a god protein? makes you think wierd things and talk to burning bushes?? I don’t know the first thing about “god” or laminin. Interesting though. lmao
Christians want to argue that it proves gods existence because it’s scientific diagram is in the shape of a cross.

ROFL! Ever heard of Burger stop? That restaraunt is shaped like a cross too, also proving the existance of god. And thier flamebroiled burgers are, dare i say, Holy!
Funny. :D
symbols and their meaning came way later than protein.
so i would have to say that the only thing that those things have in common is man’s mind.
Laminin is a necessary protein for cell binding. It also happens to be shaped like a cross. Christians interpret this to be God’s ’stamp’ on us, his product.
I figure:
1) The cross was originally a pagan symbol. This does not indicate to me that Thor is my lord and savior.
2) There are protiens shaped like really really big genitalia… this does not indicate to me that Ron Jeremy (AKA the Pron Troll) is our lord and savior.
3) The structure of DNA, the double-helix is far more important to our existence… this does not indicate to me that Ronald McDonald is my lord and savior (McDonalds funhouse slide).

Although, kids recognize Santa and Ronald McDonald more often than depictions of presidents or Jesus… hmmm, maybe Ronald McDonald IS our lord and savior!
Long story short… something was bound to be shaped like a cross… in fact when I get *interested* in a particular enticing image while in a seated position one could say my ‘junk’ looks like a cross. Take this with people seeing Jesus and Mary in grilled cheese sandwiches and potato chips… voila! Proof of God! This time in a protien and not in a sammich!
I really need to create a cult that shows Jesus sliding down a fun-house slide… then I can claim DNA proves that I’m right!
It’s not even really the shape of a cross. The diagram is. Microscopic laminin looks like a blob with four threads coming from it.
I dont know if they’re arguing that as such, but it’s kind of exciting to observe.Verum Causa wrote:

I think you might be referring to this (let’s give out all the info here so everybody knows what you’re on about huh?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e4zgJ…
I saw the whole talk from this guy, and I wish you could see it too. You could learn just how amazing our solar system is, and we’re in it!
Science is amazing, mindblowing. I see things like that and amazing creation, even the way our bodies are made - just can’t deny God. We go from something as minute as laminin and creation goes out to stars so big the earth looks like a pinhead.
We just happen to be in the middle of it. That’s more than a wow factor…..
Even something as small as the slits on the sides of a dog’s nose. They allow the dog to smell better. Is this the sign of an amazing creator? I’m just wondering.
Can you answer the above question?
What sort of answer do you want? I’m no rocket scientist. I believe in an amazing creator - God. Our medical make up fascinates me. So intricate.
Well it seems that you think that any beneficial feature that is useful is from an intelligent designer. So I am asking if that qualifies. Does it?
Did God create everything?
I think you’re just out for an argument, so not going there. (It’s late for me anyway).
Think our our individual DNA, the intricate makeup of our eyes. We have little hairs the filter dust in our nose, and carries sound to our ear drums. Our heart beats so our blood will pump around our bodies giving oxygen. Our brain is better than any metal computer ever created, sending out complex messages all around our body. We cut ourselves and bleed, our blood clots to heal the wound and stop bleeding. Our skin grows over the wound…
Wow.
It’s a simple question.
Did God or did he not create everything?
Why do you ignore science when it offers evidence for evolution and the big band. Science is amazing. Don’t come here spouting lies, half-truths, and ignorance unless you can handle the questions.

Tell me how science proves evolution, and I will give you a cookie.
And the Big Bang can’t be proven because of singularity, in which science will never be able to prove. So that’s a toilet hole too.
Who said anything about proof? I’m talking about evidence.
There hasn’t been a single shred of evidence to prove macro evolution.
Paleontology, evolutionary developmental biology, comparative genomics and genomic phylostratigraphy contribute most of the evidence for the patterns and processes that can be classified as macroevolution. An example of macroevolution is the appearance of feathers during the evolution of birds from theropod dinosaurs.
It’s not about proof. It’s about evidence.
Tell me how laminin proves creationism.
No it’s not. There hasn’t been any clear cut evidence to show that it is remotely true. Have we bred dogs into some other higher level species? Science proves that we can breed genetic material OUT, but not IN. Natural selection won’t allow for evolution.
lol I know nothing of Laminin. I read what people have said here. I’d say nothing. But again I know nothing of it.
You are not considering genetic mutations.
Genetic mutations are the end of every chain of animals. That is how natural selection works. When a mutation occurs, it is dropped off of the chain. Sounds like you require more reading. Chemistry is miraculous.
You are assuming that all mutations are detrimental.
Hardly.
But show me evidence that any mutation has stuck around in a massive population. Besides the odds of a beneficial mutation are so slim it is ridiculous. To say they happened over and over for millions of years and they just so happened to get millions of them over time is like saying I am going to get in a plane crash 5,000 times in my lifetime and survive all of them.

Also, the recent adaptations of MRSA and other bacteria into antibiotic resistant bacteria.
If evolution is somehow true, all arguments to this day are flawed. And they need to find a way to explain using science to back them.
What arguments are flawed. You are making sweeping generalizations without any concrete evidence why anyone should accept them.
You can’t put mutations and natural selection together. If you knew how natural selection worked, and if you knew any biochemistry, you would know how the process works. It actually disallows Darwinistic style evolution from occurring.
But hey I’ve got to jolt, it’s been fun. Have a good one.
Why is it that the majority of biochemists are not creationists? Another one runs away.

I have something called a job and classes to attend. And you’re right, I’m not sure. Because we would prove it all wrong and people would flip out.
I’m not running, I just have a life to attend. Take it easy.
Well, jolt typically has that meaning. Return sometime. Talk again sometime maybe. Have a pleasant day.
Yeah I’ll come back to it later when I have time. See ya.
Oh I did read up on Laminin by the way, and it sounds like a load of poo saying it proves anything about religion. Same thing as a rock with a cross on it or something people claim to find all the time.
Anyway, later.

I don’t think it has anything to do with proving God’s existence..
It is the protein that like commands all other proteins, it holds you together
Also, Jesus holds you together.. “I promise you, no matter what comes in this lifetime, no matter how difficult the road, how dark the night, I will hold onto you and I will literally hold you together.”
& laminin is in the same shape as the cross.. it doesn’t prove anything.. yet I’m sure it was a clever little thing God chose to do.
:]
Well, DNA is shaped like two inter-twining fun-house slides… which happens to be where our TRUE lord and savior spent his youth. Our faith in Ronald the McDonald is strong.
Ronald said ’suffer the children to come unto me’ and he was accurate in this statement! It was a sign! Not only do suffering children come unto him (Ronald McDonald House) but, children suffer when they come to him! (Childhood Obesity) Also… ‘our lord is recognized by a childs heart’… it has been experimentally shown that children recognize images of Ronald McDonald over Jesus.
Besides, Jesus of Nazarath… born in Bethlehem son of the line of David, thus claiming lineage to the ‘desert father’ Abraham is a male of Arab descent. In his 30’s and 40’s gained a ministry through mass-appeal making false promises of world-peace and love. (I think recent world history shows massive armed conflicts since his promises of peace) Jesus fits the prediction of the anti-christ… whereas Ronald… he is ‘fair in the sight of the lord’.

Peter Kay better watch out, there’s a new kid on the block..
I’m not very funny… and way more attractive.
*primps hair*
I don’t believe that Jesus holds anything together. If he ever existed he’s dead, like all people who have died are. Laminin is not in the shape of a cross.
i’ve not read all these posts but…
only an ego-centric society would explain the unexplainable by creating an image of himself to fill it.
god is what you want to label the unexplained.
we could always call it love, or good, or art, or light, or heat, or any word…
language is all we have that links us, god just happened to be the idea/word that stuck.
it could always be changed… over time.
