Your argument against abiogenesis is the same one used for arguments against evolution. Here is the evolution rebuttal: Blind Watchmaker

It does not refute your argument specifically but one point is valid. Pieces of metal are not individual molecules. Molecules attract and repel each other in certain ways. They do it differently after you heat them. They do it differently in the presence of other chemicals (catalysts).br>
There are theories about how proteins could come to be withour DNA or RNA. Metabolism First

The God in the bible is infinite. How is a solution that requires an infinite being the most simple answer?

We pay for our bandwidth

To put it another way you want others to invest and support infrastructure that you want to use for free.

For goodness sake, read the whole post and/or stop trolling.

Just a quick note: If you are not eating breakfast or lunch and eating 8 hours before bed... You are starving yourself for 16 hours. No matter how much you eat, that's not healthy. Don't take my word for it, talk to a nutritionist.

I'm a salaried employee currently working with local contractors, H-1B contractors, and offshore contractors. I have no problem competing for a job with an H-1B or local contactor. We have the same expenses. I pay taxes, he pays taxes. I buy a car because mass transit in my city sucks; he buys a car for the same reason. It's even better for me versus the H-1B worker; I don't have trips home across the ocean nor do I have to pay a lawyer for advice on my work status. However, I can't compete with an IT worker in India. They have lower costs of living, fewer worker protection laws as well as lower salaries in general. That makes them cheaper (at least on paper but that is another story). I'm much more likely to lose my job to an offshore employee.

Pretty much any plant that evolved without honeybees will do fine without them. There are some plants that are very well-suited to being pollinated by honeybees. (I think almonds are one.) Those plants won't do well if we lose honeybees.

You are correct. We would not starve if the honeybee went extinct. The variety of food would suffer. There are some plants that just don't produce well without a lot of pollinators. Natural pollinators are not as proficient or predicable as honeybees. Many industries would cease to exist. Depending on how quickly this happened it would be a financial burden on growers until they are able to switch to other crops.

Reminds me of: Title of the song by DaVinci's Notebook

"Capitalization is the difference between helping my uncle Jack off a horse and..."

I'm near the same age. My first was a TI 99/4a... with a cassete tape drive. Yea! Then, I had a commodore 64. Did you script kiddies have to type in your programs from a magazine? No? Didn't think so! *And* to get to the store that sold the magazine I had to walk up hill.. (wait for it) both ways! badump psh.

A radio show (Bob and Tom) sold T-shirts that said "Blow me a kiss." However, as a wacky radio stunt, they printed "blow me" in glow-in-the dark letters but did not do the same with "a kiss". So, when some unsuspecting fan goes to the movies... you get the idea.

You could do the same thing where the shirt has whatever on the outside but it says "This is an unreasonable search" or "Just following orders?" in aluminum foil between two layers of the shirt.

There's a few, like bit patterning. Perpendicular storage will run out soon, and we'll go onto the next paradigm.

Yes. Nobody really understands why. If you use the wrong emoticon you get several pages of heavily-compressed LOLcats.

If we take the fictional replicator concept to the extreme; yes.

We could all forgot about jobs and income and live in a Utopia where everyone is free to pursue whatever they want.

But in the more practical sense of 'if I could duplicate cars like I duplicate software' where the world isn't very different from ours - we do need income and we don't have an endless supply of unicorn farts to feed us, it doesn't work out so good.

But yes, laws to protect ideas are good. Disregarding those laws are bad.

And, everyone arguing otherwise is free to release THEIR ideas for free. But they don't.
