Modern mine waste water supports bacteria like those from 2.48 billion years ago/University of Alberta

From “New Evidence for the Oldest Oxygen-Breathing Life On Land”
(ScienceDaily, Oct. 19, 2011), we learn:

New University of Alberta research shows the first evidence that the first oxygen-breathing bacteria occupied and thrived on land 100 million years earlier than previously thought. The researchers show that the most primitive form of aerobic-respiring life on land came into existence 2.48 billion years ago.

“We suggest that the jump in chromium levels was triggered by the oxidation of the mineral pyrite (fool’s gold) on land,” said Konhauser.

The researchers say the modern analogue for that first primitive oxygen-dependent life form on Earth is still with us.

“The same bacterial life forms are alive and well today, living off pyrite and settling in the highly acidic waste waters of mining sites the world over,” said Konhauser.

ChasD: "evolution is an explanatory framework for the patterns in the data." "I cannot in all conscience look at the ‘big picture’ – mountains of data – and conclude that anything other than evolution explains it successfully." ===== This is called FAITH Charles! Patterns in Data ??? This is like reading tea leaves, tarot cards, astrological patterns of planet alignments ability to fortell your future, etc, etc, etc. What is amazing is how you can accept the fictious storytelling which have ZERO honest truthful data to back it up and was only inserted there because there was a huge gap in the actual data. This is where we start getting fuzzy definition shell gaming of words/terms to force fit the dogma into the data or perhaps in this case vice versa. ---- ChasD: "if the ‘real’ designer can sentence me to hell for an honest assessment of the data, then to hell I will go." ==== This is lame and tiring. Look up the original meanings of the Hebrew word 'sheol' and Greek word 'hades' which have been erroneously translated as eternal hellfire and damnation and get back to me. Or you can take it up with someone else here who actually believes in this originally pagan doctrine. ----- ChasD: "Evolution can be true, and morality real without any contradiction whatsoever." ===== Wrong, if evolution is true, then there is no universal standard for what is and what is not morality. It's whatever feel good animalistic passionate desire one chooses to follow. If Evolution is true, then individuals like Jeffrey Dalmer, Adolf Hitler, etc did nothing immoral. It was simply a personal survival strategy for Jeffrey Dalmer and an opposite survival strategy for those who stopped him. Remember, there is no good no bad no right no wrong, just blind pointless pitiless indifference without purpose or intent. If evolution is true, then morality is whatever anyone driven by their selfish genes/memes wants it to be. If Evolution is true, then there is no authoritive correct answer by which to give or make any judgement.Eocene_{October 26, 2011

WJ Murray/Eocene We drift even further OT, but it's something I feel rather strongly about: evolution is an explanatory framework for the patterns in the data. That is ALL it is. It is not a philosophy by which I live my life; it is not a supportive structure to underpin some desire to 'turn away from God', or express some bizarre hatred of someone I have never encountered. But you won't believe me, of course. Like the doorstepping Baptist who decided that I thought the way I did because I was 'blinded by Satan', you know my own mind better than I do myself. Because I am a doomed atheist, and there's only one way for you to rationalise such thought processes. Still... Any 'objective standard' underpinning morality may as likely come from a combination of genetic and cultural effects on my mental states as from a divine source. Evolution can be true, and morality real without any contradiction whatsoever. Though if, as Eocene suggests, I would be expected to cast away morality but don't, and the reason (as WJM suggests) is God, then it doesn't seem to matter (on that count) whether one is atheist or not - God still holds the reins, via this assumed 'objective standard'. But completely regardless of all this, I cannot in all conscience look at the 'big picture' - mountains of data - and conclude that anything other than evolution explains it successfully. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong; I don't have the same stake in eternity that provides an equivalent to 'blinded by Satan' in the mirror-world of religious explanation. I am simply being honest, and to paraphrase Mill: if the 'real' designer can sentence me to hell for an honest assessment of the data, then to hell I will go.Chas D_{October 25, 2011

ChasD: "You think Darwin, having formulated his theory, turned his back on Nature and Man with a peremptory “screw ‘em!”?" ==== No, what Darwin did was invent a belief system which soothed his personal hatred of God because he thought God took his daughter from him. He therefore arrived at a number of materialist conclusions that convinced him that he was correct in his feeling the way he did. For example his materialistic, yet metaphysical reasonings about those Savages encountered in Argentina. Darwin concluded that if there were a God he would not have created such ignorant darker skinned races of Savages and at the same time created superior white races such as himself who were conquering the New World. Therefore he set out to search for evidence that fit his preconceive metaphysical ideas. (And if you've thought I'm making this up, it came directly off the History Channel as a tribute to your Holyman's birthday last year) If Darwin is correct and Evolution is true, there is no official authoritive standard for what is moral and what is immoral. Morality is whoever and whatever a person or group of persons in power at any one time wants it to be. Therefore to some, cutting down a rainforest is perfectly moral as it furthers their materialistic drive of satifying the lust of their uncontrollable self genes. It's simply not their fault. ---- ChasD: "Honestly, I don’t know how a religious person reaches the apparent conclusion that those without religion spend their lives conniving, killing, fornicating, double-dealing and chopping down rain forests." ==== If evolution is true, then none of those things that religious people do are are morally wrong either. When you look at the science behind many of the destructive technologies that science has given us, it is easy to see where evolutionary thinking and justification by it's philosophers has infected other areas of science. The biggest example is the destructive irresponsible technologies of Genetically Modified Organisms. They have no business propagandizing such Franken-Organisms as the only source for saving the world. In actual fact they have already irrepairably spread genetic pollution into the wild. The religious philosophy pimped by the promoters of Theory of Evolution allows for cheating, lying, fudging and embellishing the truth, masking or indeed hiding less than flattering truths that dispel evolutionary storytelling, etc. Anyone against Evolution is labled as being against science and is actually called anti-science or hating ALL Science(This of course is a flat out lie, but it is a strategy in debate). These are some of the more common cowardly tactics used by Evolutionists in their fight for promoting their religious worldview. How does this compare with the Mega-Business Agri-Industries of GMO scientific research companies ??? GMO companies have been habitual liars. The fudge the truth. They hide all damaging data and in fact have been caught and turned in by some of their own former scientists who have a conscience, of rigging experiments so that no negative data see the light of day. The ONLY way it has been revealed is when Lawsuits for such Criminal Organizations to reveal such damning material from their buried archives. When other independent scientists conduct experiments and find damaging effects of GMOs on the environment and physical effects of deteriation on animals who are feed this crap, the GMO companies employ an all too familiar tactic of character assasination and career ruin. They break into Labs, steal samples and burn paperwork. They have even gone as far as to recently have declared that anyone who is not for GMOs are anti-science. Does any of this sound familiar, Chazzzzz ??? ---- ChasD: "Religion is no guarantee of good behaviour or stewardship, nor is its absence any pointer to bad character, or lack of concern for the natural world." ==== Correct, religion has a miserable history when it comes to setting the example. And they are more reprehensible than than all the athiests/Agnostics put together. However, if there is no God and Evolution is true, then even their behavior apparently couldn't be judged wrong since everything is all a matter of personal adaptational choice anyway. There is a reason such debased religious practices have been allowed and tollerated for a time. Take the unfaithful example of ancient Israel. Time and again they failed to live by the Mosaic Law and adulterated pure worship. The Bible records why their miserable history was recorded down in writing for our benefit and instruction. 1 Corinthians 10:11 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW) (11) "These things happened to make them an example for others. These things were written down as a warning for us who are living in the closing days of history." ******* If anything could be acknowledged it is that their historical record is equal to your side. Even the apostate Christian examples of the Dark Ages and Inquisitions along with the 20th Century bloodguilt history stands as testimony of what happens when you strike out on an independent course, even if you consider yourself religious in the conventional sense. Still, Evolutionary thinking's influence on ALL science has been far more destructive recently to the environment since none of the consequences ultimately can be considered wrong if TOE is true.Eocene_{October 24, 2011

continued: The falsification for local realism (reductive materialism) was recently greatly strengthened:
Physicists close two loopholes while violating local realism - November 2010 Excerpt: The latest test in quantum mechanics provides even stronger support than before for the view that nature violates local realism and is thus in contradiction with a classical worldview. http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-11-physicists-loopholes-violating-local-realism.html Quantum Measurements: Common Sense Is Not Enough, Physicists Show - July 2009 Excerpt: scientists have now proven comprehensively in an experiment for the first time that the experimentally observed phenomena cannot be described by non-contextual models with hidden variables. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090722142824.htm
(of note: hidden variables were postulated to remove the need for 'spooky' forces, as Einstein termed them — forces that act instantaneously at great distances, thereby breaking the most cherished rule of relativity theory, that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.) Thus since quantum entanglement is found in photosynthesis, it now logically follows that a ‘non-local’, beyond space and time, cause must be supplied to explain the origination of photosynthesis in the first life on earth as well as all subsequent photosynthetic life on earth! This is more than just a slight problem for materialistic atheists who believe in neo-Darwinism which is based on reductive materialism!!,,, The following video gives a hint of just how ‘spooky’, to use Einstein’s infamous word, it is to find 'non-local' quantum action to be necessary for photosynthetic life:
Light and Quantum Entanglement Reflect Some Characteristics Of God – video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4102182
To solidify my basis for inferring the necessity of a ‘non-local’, beyond space and time, cause to explain photosynthesis, I would like to refer to the quantum wave collapse of a photon;
Double Slit Experiment – Explained By Prof Anton Zeilinger – video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/6101627/ Wave function Excerpt “wave functions form an abstract vector space”,,, This vector space is infinite-dimensional, because there is no finite set of functions which can be added together in various combinations to create every possible function. Explaining Information Transfer in Quantum Teleportation: Armond Duwell †‡ University of Pittsburgh Excerpt: In contrast to a classical bit, the description of a (photon) qubit requires an infinite amount of information. The amount of information is infinite because two real numbers are required in the expansion of the state vector of a two state quantum system (Jozsa 1997, 1) http://www.cas.umt.edu/phil/faculty/duwell/DuwellPSA2K.pdf Quantum Computing – Stanford Encyclopedia Excerpt: Theoretically, a single qubit can store an infinite amount of information, yet when measured (and thus collapsing the Quantum Wave state) it yields only the classical result (0 or 1),,, http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-quantcomp/#2.1 Single photons to soak up data: Excerpt: the orbital angular momentum of a photon can take on an infinite number of values. Since a photon can also exist in a superposition of these states, it could – in principle – be encoded with an infinite amount of information. http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/7201
It is important to note that the following experiment actually proved that information can be encoded into a photon while it is in its quantum wave state, thus destroying the notion, that was/is held by many, that the wave function was not ‘physically real’ but was merely ‘abstract’. i.e. How can information possibly be encoded into a entity that is not physically real but is merely abstract? It simply would not be possible!
Ultra-Dense Optical Storage – on One Photon Excerpt: Researchers at the University of Rochester have made an optics breakthrough that allows them to encode an entire image’s worth of data into a photon, slow the image down for storage, and then retrieve the image intact.,,, Quantum mechanics dictates some strange things at that scale, so that bit of light could be thought of as both a particle and a wave. As a wave, it passed through all parts of the stencil at once, carrying the "shadow" of the UR with it. http://www.physorg.com/news88439430.html
Now, I find the preceding to be absolutely fascinating! A photon, in its quantum wave state, is found to be mathematically defined as a ‘infinite-dimensional’ state, which ‘requires an infinite amount of information’ to describe it properly, can be encoded with information in its 'infinite dimensional' state, and this ‘infinite dimensional’ photon is found to collapse, instantaneously, and thus ‘non-locally’, to just a ’1 or 0? state, out of a infinite number of possibilities that the photon could have collapsed to instead! Now my question to materialistic atheists is this, "Exactly what ’cause’ has been postulated throughout history to be completely independent of any space-time constraints, as well as possessing infinite knowledge, so as to be the ‘sufficient cause’ to explain what we see in the quantum wave collapse of a photon???
John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Jeremy Camp – The Way (Official Music Video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q6o4sbndVE

Chas you state:
the topic is the genesis (small G) of free-oxygen generating bacteria, the interdependence of the ecosystems in which they take part, and the relevance of Origin-of-Life speculations to that derived ecology.
OK let's start by looking at the evidence for oxygenic photosynthesis:
Non-Local Quantum Entanglement In Photosynthesis - video http://vimeo.com/30235178
notes:
The Sudden Appearance Of Photosynthetic Life On Earth - video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4262918
The oldest sedimentary rocks on earth, known to science, originated underwater (and thus in relatively cool environs) 3.86 billion years ago. Those sediments, which are exposed at Isua in southwestern Greenland, also contain the earliest chemical evidence (fingerprint) of ‘photosynthetic’ life [Nov. 7, 1996, Nature]. This evidence had been fought by materialists since it is totally contrary to their evolutionary theory. Yet, Danish scientists were able to bring forth another line of geological evidence to substantiate the primary line of geological evidence for photo-synthetic life in the earth’s earliest sedimentary rocks.
U-rich Archaean sea-floor sediments from Greenland – indications of +3700 Ma oxygenic photosynthesis (2003) http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004E&PSL.217..237R When Did Life First Appear on Earth? – Fazale Rana – December 2010 Excerpt: The primary evidence for 3.8 billion-year-old life consists of carbonaceous deposits, such as graphite, found in rock formations in western Greenland. These deposits display an enrichment of the carbon-12 isotope. Other chemical signatures from these formations that have been interpreted as biological remnants include uranium/thorium fractionation and banded iron formations. Recently, a team from Australia argued that the dolomite in these formations also reflects biological activity, specifically that of sulfate-reducing bacteria. http://www.reasons.org/when-did-life-first-appear-earth Life - Its Sudden Origin and Extreme Complexity - Dr. Fazale Rana - video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4287513
But perhaps the most damaging thing to the materialistic/Darwinian belief that life simply ‘emerged’ from some prebiotic chemical broth,,, (a hypothetical ‘prebiotic broth’ for which they have no scientific evidence),,,
The Primordial Soup Myth: Excerpt: “Accordingly, Abelson(1966), Hull(1960), Sillen(1965), and many others have criticized the hypothesis that the primitive ocean, unlike the contemporary ocean, was a “thick soup” containing all of the micromolecules required for the next stage of molecular evolution. The concept of a primitive “thick soup” or “primordial broth” is one of the most persistent ideas at the same time that is most strongly contraindicated by thermodynamic reasoning and by lack of experimental support.” – Sidney Fox, Klaus Dose on page 37 in Molecular Evolution and the Origin of Life.
,,,is this finding:,,,
Evidence for wavelike energy transfer through quantum coherence in photosynthetic systems. Gregory S. Engel, Nature (12 April 2007) Photosynthetic complexes are exquisitely tuned to capture solar light efficiently, and then transmit the excitation energy to reaction centres, where long term energy storage is initiated.,,,, This wavelike characteristic of the energy transfer within the photosynthetic complex can explain its extreme efficiency, in that it allows the complexes to sample vast areas of phase space to find the most efficient path. —- Conclusion? Obviously Photosynthesis is a brilliant piece of design by “Someone” who even knows how quantum mechanics works. Quantum Mechanics at Work in Photosynthesis: Algae Familiar With These Processes for Nearly Two Billion Years – Feb. 2010 Excerpt: “We were astonished to find clear evidence of long-lived quantum mechanical states involved in moving the energy. Our result suggests that the energy of absorbed light resides in two places at once — a quantum superposition state, or coherence — and such a state lies at the heart of quantum mechanical theory.”,,, “It suggests that algae knew about quantum mechanics nearly two billion years before humans,” says Scholes. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100203131356.htm Life Masters Physics – Feb. 2010 Excerpt: Collini et al.2 report evidence suggesting that a process known as quantum coherence ‘wires’ together distant molecules in the light-harvesting apparatus of marine cryptophyte algae.,,,“Intriguingly, recent work has documented that light-absorbing molecules in some photosynthetic proteins capture and transfer energy according to quantum-mechanical probability laws instead of classical laws at temperatures up to 180 K,”. ,,, “This contrasts with the long-held view that long-range quantum coherence between molecules cannot be sustained in complex biological systems” http://www.creationsafaris.com/crev201002.htm#20100210a
The reason that this ‘quantum photosynthesis’ finding is absolutely crushing to the atheists’s materialistic belief that life simply ‘emerged’ from some prebiotic chemical broth, is that this reductive materialism, which atheists hold is true for how life came to be on earth (neo-Darwinism), is falsified as to being the ’cause’ for quantum entanglement!:

Unless morality describes an objective good (which would require an objective purpose for humanity), then saying that one can behave morally is like saying one can cook good food; it's a entirely subjective statement. Note how you say "including proper respect for the natural world" as if there is some objective standard of "what is good" that necessarily includes "respecting the natural world". If I believe that "conniving, killing, fornicating, double-dealing and chopping down rain forests" is good, what standard do you argue I should acquiesce to otherwise? It isn't that theists think materialist/atheists actually believe those things are moral, and behave that way; what theists point out is that atheism/materialism necessarily leads to the logical conclusion that there is nothing inherently "less moral" about those behaviors and motives than in any other behavior or motive.William J Murray_{October 24, 2011

ChasD "Neither is goal-oriented, which I guess is what you mean. Nonetheless, directed evolution is. That’s what the ‘directed’ modifier conveys: a version of the essentially non-goal-oriented process that is goal-oriented." ==== There is no directed evolution Chas. That's the point of the Dogma's invention in the first place. "No Intelligence Allowed". They have never provided an acceptable mindless experiment without reading a bunch of tea leaves to concoct a phoney myth of an explanation. Natural Selection is blind and mindless. It's incapable of doing any intelligent selecting which would clearly be necessary to accomplish some of the amazing things scientific research and observation has revealed to us. This is what every cheating evolutionary experiment has always born out. They know full well they are incapable of providing a true honest experiment using blind undirected processes because not only would they look like fools, but such documentaed failed mindless experiments would etch it in stone for all to see. So for all the making fun of I.D., they are the biggest closet IDiots the world has ever known. Natural Selection a euphemism terminology inserted into a discussion or paper when they have no explanation for a phenomena's apparent unexplainable occurence. It therefore allows them to be excused(at least in their own minds) from providing any reasonable, logical, rational detailed explanation for the subject in question. Ask further questionings of Scientists or try to make them pin them down for clearer details(minus fables and myths) for a reasonable intelligent answer and you become demonized and vilified for questioning science and the phony Phds who pimped the dogma in the first place.Eocene_{October 23, 2011

EXACTLY Charles, hijacking pre-existing living componants. Craig Venter, Gerald Joyce and others continually hijack already living systems and plagerize already existing information to pimp their wares. Yet even still, the best they can come up with is proving it takes an intelligent mind to manipulate material substrate to obtain any type of an outcome. Even a failed one.Eocene_{October 23, 2011

The collapsing and folding of space-time is also, mysteriously corroborated by NDE testimonies'
The NDE and the Tunnel - Kevin Williams' research conclusions Excerpt: I started to move toward the light. The way I moved, the physics, was completely different than it is here on Earth. It was something I had never felt before and never felt since. It was a whole different sensation of motion. I obviously wasn't walking or skipping or crawling. I was not floating. I was flowing. I was flowing toward the light. I was accelerating and I knew I was accelerating, but then again, I didn't really feel the acceleration. I just knew I was accelerating toward the light. Again, the physics was different - the physics of motion of time, space, travel. It was completely different in that tunnel, than it is here on Earth. I came out into the light and when I came out into the light, I realized that I was in heaven.(Barbara Springer) Near Death Experience - The Tunnel - video http://www.vimeo.com/29021432 Near Death Experience – The Tunnel, The Light, The Life Review – video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/4200200/ Speed Of Light - Near Death Experience Tunnel - Turin Shroud - video http://www.vimeo.com/18371644
Also, hypothetically traveling at the speed of light in this universe would be instantaneous travel for the person going at the speed of light. This is because time does not pass for them, yet, and this is a very big ‘yet’ to take note of; this ‘timeless’ travel is still not instantaneous and transcendent to our temporal framework of time, i.e. Speed of light travel, to our temporal frame of reference, is still not completely transcendent of our framework since light appears to take time to travel from our perspective. Yet, in quantum teleportation of information, the ‘time not passing’, i.e. ‘eternal’, framework is not only achieved in the speed of light framework/dimension, but is also ‘instantaneously’ achieved in our temporal framework. That is to say, the instantaneous teleportation/travel of information is instantaneous to both the temporal and speed of light frameworks, not just the speed of light framework. Information teleportation/travel is not limited by time, nor space, in any way, shape or form, in any frame of reference, as light is seemingly limited to us. Thus ‘pure transcendent information’ is shown to be timeless (eternal) and completely transcendent of all material frameworks. Moreover, concluding from all lines of evidence we have now examined; transcendent, eternal, infinite information is indeed real and the framework in which ‘It’ resides is the primary reality (highest dimension) that can exist, (in so far as our limited perception of a primary reality, highest dimension, can be discerned).
"An illusion can never go faster than the speed limit of reality" Akiane - Child Prodigy
Logic also dictates 'a decision' must have been made, by the 'transcendent, eternal, infinite information' from the primary timeless (eternal) reality 'It' inhabits, in order to purposely create a temporal reality with highly specified, irreducible complex, parameters from a infinite set of possibilities in the proper sequential order. Thus this infinite transcendent information, which is the primary reality of our reality, is shown to be alive by yet another line of evidence besides the necessity for a ‘first mover’ to explain quantum wave collapse.
The First Cause Must Be A Personal Being - William Lane Craig - video http://www.metacafe.com/w/4813914
As a side light to this, leading quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger has followed in John Archibald Wheeler's footsteps (1911-2008) by insisting reality, at its most foundational level, is 'information'.
"It from bit symbolizes the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom - at a very deep bottom, in most instances - an immaterial source and explanation; that which we call reality arises in the last analysis from the posing of yes-no questions and the registering of equipment-evoked responses; in short, that things physical are information-theoretic in origin." John Archibald Wheeler Why the Quantum? It from Bit? A Participatory Universe? Excerpt: In conclusion, it may very well be said that information is the irreducible kernel from which everything else flows. Thence the question why nature appears quantized is simply a consequence of the fact that information itself is quantized by necessity. It might even be fair to observe that the concept that information is fundamental is very old knowledge of humanity, witness for example the beginning of gospel according to John: "In the beginning was the Word." Anton Zeilinger - a leading expert in quantum teleportation: "Information is information, not matter or energy. No materialism which does not admit this can survive at the present day." Norbert Weiner - MIT Mathematician - Father of Cybernetics

That is to say, traveling at the speed of light will only get us to the place where time, as we understand it, comes to complete stop for light, i.e. gets us to the eternal, 'past and future folding into now', framework of time. This higher dimension, 'eternal', inference for the time framework of light is warranted because light is not 'frozen within time' yet it is shown that time, as we understand it, does not pass for light.
"I've just developed a new theory of eternity." Albert Einstein - The Einstein Factor - Reader's Digest "The laws of relativity have changed timeless existence from a theological claim to a physical reality. Light, you see, is outside of time, a fact of nature proven in thousands of experiments at hundreds of universities. I don’t pretend to know how tomorrow can exist simultaneously with today and yesterday. But at the speed of light they actually and rigorously do. Time does not pass." Richard Swenson - More Than Meets The Eye, Chpt. 12 Experimental confirmation of Time Dilation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation#Experimental_confirmation
It is also very interesting to note that we have two very different qualities of ‘eternality of time’ revealed by our time dilation experiments;
Time Dilation - General and Special Relativity - Chuck Missler - video http://www.metacafe.com/w/7013215/ Time dilation Excerpt: Time dilation: special vs. general theories of relativity: In Albert Einstein's theories of relativity, time dilation in these two circumstances can be summarized: 1. --In special relativity (or, hypothetically far from all gravitational mass), clocks that are moving with respect to an inertial system of observation are measured to be running slower. (i.e. For any observer accelerating, hypothetically, to the speed of light, time, as we understand it, will come to a complete stop). 2.--In general relativity, clocks at lower potentials in a gravitational field—such as in closer proximity to a planet—are found to be running slower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
i.e. As with any observer accelerating to the speed of light, it is found that for any observer falling into the event horizon of a black hole, that time, as we understand it, will come to a complete stop for them. — But of particular interest to the ‘eternal framework’ found for General Relativity at black holes;… It is interesting to note that entropic decay, which is the primary reason why things grow old and eventually die in this universe, is found to be greatest at black holes. Thus the ‘eternality of time’ at black holes can rightly be called ‘eternalities of decay and/or eternalities of destruction’.
Entropy of the Universe - Hugh Ross - May 2010 Excerpt: Egan and Lineweaver found that supermassive black holes are the largest contributor to the observable universe’s entropy. They showed that these supermassive black holes contribute about 30 times more entropy than what the previous research teams estimated. http://www.reasons.org/entropy-universe
i.e. Black Holes are singularities of destruction and disorder rather than singularities of creation and order such as the extreme order we see at the creation event of the Big Bang.
On the Mystery Of Time https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FFKL3FeyebpNNyal1DQ64y20zlplVrjkaLXrM0P5ES4/edit?hl=en_US
It is very interesting to note that this strange higher dimensional, eternal, framework for time, found in special relativity, and general relativity, finds corroboration in Near Death Experience testimonies:
'In the 'spirit world,,, instantly, there was no sense of time. See, everything on earth is related to time. You got up this morning, you are going to go to bed tonight. Something is new, it will get old. Something is born, it's going to die. Everything on the physical plane is relative to time, but everything in the spiritual plane is relative to eternity. Instantly I was in total consciousness and awareness of eternity, and you and I as we live in this earth cannot even comprehend it, because everything that we have here is filled within the veil of the temporal life. In the spirit life that is more real than anything else and it is awesome. Eternity as a concept is awesome. There is no such thing as time. I knew that whatever happened was going to go on and on.' Mickey Robinson - Near Death Experience testimony 'When you die, you enter eternity. It feels like you were always there, and you will always be there. You realize that existence on Earth is only just a brief instant.' Dr. Ken Ring - has extensively studied Near Death Experiences 'Earthly time has no meaning in the spirit realm. There is no concept of before or after. Everything - past, present, future - exists simultaneously.' - Kimberly Clark Sharp - NDE Experiencer 'There is no way to tell whether minutes, hours or years go by. Existence is the only reality and it is inseparable from the eternal now.' - John Star - NDE Experiencer What Will Heaven be Like? by Rich Deem Excerpt: Since heaven is where God lives, it must contain more physical and temporal dimensions than those found in this physical universe that God created. We cannot imagine, nor can we experience in our current bodies, what these extra dimensions might be like. http://www.godandscience.org/doctrine/heaven.html
It is also very interesting to point out that the 'light at the end of the tunnel', reported in many Near Death Experiences(NDEs), is also corroborated by Special Relativity when considering the optical effects for traveling at the speed of light. Please compare the similarity of the optical effect, noted at the 3:22 minute mark of the following video, when the 3-Dimensional world ‘folds and collapses’ into a tunnel shape around the direction of travel as an observer moves towards the ‘higher dimension’ of the speed of light, with the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ reported in very many Near Death Experiences: (Of note: This following video which was made by two Australian University Physics Professors with a supercomputer.)

More supporting evidence for the transcendent nature of information, and how it interacts with energy, is found in these following studies:
Single photons to soak up data: Excerpt: the orbital angular momentum of a photon can take on an infinite number of values. Since a photon can also exist in a superposition of these states, it could – in principle – be encoded with an infinite amount of information. http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/7201 Ultra-Dense Optical Storage - on One Photon Excerpt: Researchers at the University of Rochester have made an optics breakthrough that allows them to encode an entire image’s worth of data into a photon, slow the image down for storage, and then retrieve the image intact.,,, Quantum mechanics dictates some strange things at that scale, so that bit of light could be thought of as both a particle and a wave. As a wave, it passed through all parts of the stencil at once, carrying the "shadow" of the UR with it. http://www.physorg.com/news88439430.html
This following experiment clearly shows information is not an 'emergent property' of any solid material basis as is dogmatically asserted by some materialists:
Converting Quantum Bits: Physicists Transfer Information Between Matter and Light Excerpt: A team of physicists at the Georgia Institute of Technology has taken a significant step toward the development of quantum communications systems by successfully transferring quantum information from two different groups of atoms onto a single photon. http://gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/newsrelease/quantumtrans.htm
The following articles show that even atoms (Ions) are subject to teleportation:
Ions have been teleported successfully for the first time by two independent research groups Excerpt: In fact, copying isn't quite the right word for it. In order to reproduce the quantum state of one atom in a second atom, the original has to be destroyed. This is unavoidable - it is enforced by the laws of quantum mechanics, which stipulate that you can't 'clone' a quantum state. In principle, however, the 'copy' can be indistinguishable from the original (that was destroyed),,, http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/Issues/2004/October/beammeup.asp Atom takes a quantum leap - 2009 Excerpt: Ytterbium ions have been 'teleported' over a distance of a metre.,,, "What you're moving is information, not the actual atoms," says Chris Monroe, from the Joint Quantum Institute at the University of Maryland in College Park and an author of the paper. But as two particles of the same type differ only in their quantum states, the transfer of quantum information is equivalent to moving the first particle to the location of the second. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2171769/posts
It is also interesting to note that a Compact Disc crammed with information on it weighs exactly the same as a CD with no information on it whatsoever.,, Here is a video reflecting on some of the characteristics of transcendent information:
Information? What Is It Really? Professor Andy McIntosh - video http://www.metacafe.com/w/4739025
But to reflect just a bit more on the teleportation experiment itself, is interesting to note that scientists can only 'destroy' a photon in these quantum teleportation experiments. No one has 'created' a photon as of yet. I firmly believe man shall never do as such, since I hold only God is infinite, and perfect, in information/knowledge.
Job 38:19-20 “What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings?"
Further reflection on the quantum teleportation experiment: That a photon would actually be destroyed upon the teleportation (separation) of its 'infinite' information to another photon is a direct controlled violation of the first law of thermodynamics. (i.e. a photon 'disappeared' from the 'material' universe when the entire information content of a photon was 'transcendently displaced' from the material universe by the experiment, when photon “c” transcendently became transmitted photon “a”). Thus, Quantum teleportation is direct empirical validation for the primary tenet of the Law of Conservation of Information (i.e. 'transcendent' information cannot be created or destroyed). This conclusion is warranted because information exercises direct dominion of energy, telling energy exactly what to be and do in the experiment. Thus, this experiment provides a direct line of logic that transcendent information cannot be created or destroyed and, in information demonstrating transcendence, and dominion, of space-time and matter-energy, becomes the only known entity that can satisfactorily explain where all energy came from as far as the origination of the universe is concerned. That is transcendent information is the only known entity which can explain where all the energy came from in the Big Bang without leaving the bounds of empirical science as the postulated multiverse does. Clearly anything that exercises dominion of the fundamental entity of this physical universe, a photon of energy, as transcendent information does in teleportation, must of necessity possess the same, as well as greater, qualities as energy does possess in the first law of thermodynamics (i.e. Energy cannot be created or destroyed by any known material means according to the first law). To reiterate, since information exercises dominion of energy in quantum teleportation then all information that can exist, for all past, present and future events of energy, already must exist. Reflections on the 'infinite transcendent information' framework, as well as on the 'eternal' and 'temporal' frameworks: The weight of mass becomes infinite at the speed of light, thus mass will never go the speed of light. Yet, mass would disappear from our sight if it could go the speed of light, because, from our non-speed of light perspective, distance in direction of travel will shrink to zero for the mass going the speed of light. Whereas conversely, if mass could travel at the speed of light, its size will stay the same while all other frames of reference not traveling the speed of light will disappear from its sight.
Special Relativity - Time Dilation and Length Contraction - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSRIyDfo_mY
Moreover time, as we understand it, would come to a complete stop at the speed of light. To grasp the whole 'time coming to a complete stop at the speed of light' concept a little more easily, imagine moving away from the face of a clock at the speed of light. Would not the hands on the clock stay stationary as you moved away from the face of the clock at the speed of light? Moving away from the face of a clock at the speed of light happens to be the same 'thought experiment' that gave Einstein his breakthrough insight into e=mc2.
Albert Einstein - Special Relativity - Insight Into Eternity - 'thought experiment' video http://www.metacafe.com/w/6545941/
,,,Yet, even though light has this 'eternal' attribute in regards to our temporal framework of time, for us to hypothetically travel at the speed of light, in this universe, will still only get us to first base as far as quantum entanglement, or teleportation, is concerned.

Directed evolution This is one of their favourite misnomers or more appropriately Oxymorons. How often do we have to remind these people of their very own core beliefs and articles of faith ??? Evolution is directionLESS!!!
Where on earth do you get that idea? Evolution contains two main components: drift (directionless) and selection (not directionless). Selection pushes a population in the direction of adaptation to the prevailing conditions. Drift just buffets it about. Neither is goal-oriented, which I guess is what you mean. Nonetheless, directed evolution is. That's what the 'directed' modifier conveys: a version of the essentially non-goal-oriented process that is goal-oriented.Chas D_{October 23, 2011

well Chas, let's look a little higher than the stars: 'Pure transcendent information' is now shown to be 'conserved'. (i.e. it is shown that all transcendent quantum information which can possibly exist, for all possible physical/material events, past, present, and future, already must exist.) This is since transcendent information exercises direct dominion of the foundational 'material' entity of this universe, energy, which cannot be created or destroyed by any known 'material' means. i.e. First Law of Thermodynamics.
Quantum no-hiding theorem experimentally confirmed for first time Excerpt: In the classical world, information can be copied and deleted at will. In the quantum world, however, the conservation of quantum information means that information cannot be created nor destroyed. This concept stems from two fundamental theorems of quantum mechanics: the no-cloning theorem and the no-deleting theorem. A third and related theorem, called the no-hiding theorem, addresses information loss in the quantum world. According to the no-hiding theorem, if information is missing from one system (which may happen when the system interacts with the environment), then the information is simply residing somewhere else in the Universe; in other words, the missing information cannot be hidden in the correlations between a system and its environment. (This experiment provides experimental proof that the teleportation of quantum information in this universe must be complete and instantaneous.) http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-03-quantum-no-hiding-theorem-experimentally.html
These following studies verified the 'controlled' violation of the first law of thermodynamics that I had suspected:
How Teleportation Will Work - Excerpt: In 1993, the idea of teleportation moved out of the realm of science fiction and into the world of theoretical possibility. It was then that physicist Charles Bennett and a team of researchers at IBM confirmed that quantum teleportation was possible, but only if the original object being teleported was destroyed. --- As predicted, the original photon no longer existed once the replica was made. http://science.howstuffworks.com/teleportation1.htm Quantum Teleportation - IBM Research Page Excerpt: "it would destroy the original (photon) in the process,," http://www.research.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/ Researchers Succeed in Quantum Teleportation of Light Waves - April 2011 Excerpt: In this experiment, researchers in Australia and Japan were able to transfer quantum information from one place to another without having to physically move it. It was destroyed in one place and instantly resurrected in another, “alive” again and unchanged. This is a major advance, as previous teleportation experiments were either very slow or caused some information to be lost. http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-04/quantum-teleportation-breakthrough-could-lead-instantanous-computing Unconditional Quantum Teleportation - abstract Excerpt: This is the first realization of unconditional quantum teleportation where every state entering the device is actually teleported,, http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/282/5389/706
It is also very interesting to note that the quantum state of a photon is actually defined as 'infinite information' in its uncollapsed quantum wave state:
Quantum Computing - Stanford Encyclopedia Excerpt: Theoretically, a single qubit can store an infinite amount of information, yet when measured (and thus collapsing the Quantum Wave state) it yields only the classical result (0 or 1),,, http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-quantcomp/#2.1 Explaining Information Transfer in Quantum Teleportation: Armond Duwell †‡ University of Pittsburgh Excerpt: In contrast to a classical bit, the description of a (photon) qubit requires an infinite amount of information. The amount of information is infinite because two real numbers are required in the expansion of the state vector of a two state quantum system (Jozsa 1997, 1) --- Concept 2. is used by Bennett, et al. Recall that they infer that since an infinite amount of information is required to specify a (photon) qubit, an infinite amount of information must be transferred to teleport. http://www.cas.umt.edu/phil/faculty/duwell/DuwellPSA2K.pdf
It should be noted in the preceding paper that Duwell, though he never challenges the mathematical definition of a photon qubit as infinite information, tries to refute Bennett's interpretation of instantaneous infinite information transfer in teleportation because of what he believes are 'time constraints' which would prohibit teleporting 'backwards in time'. Yet Duwell fails to realize that information is its own completely unique transcendent entity, completely separate from any energy-matter, space-time, constraints in the first place. Moreover This following recent experiment, on top of the previously listed 'conservation of quantum information' papers, pretty much blew a hole in Duwell's objection to Bennett, of teleporting infinite information 'backwards in time', simply because he believed there was no such path, or mechanism, to do so:
Physicists describe method to observe timelike entanglement - January 2011 Excerpt: In "ordinary" quantum entanglement, two particles possess properties that are inherently linked with each other, even though the particles may be spatially separated by a large distance. Now, physicists S. Jay Olson and Timothy C. Ralph from the University of Queensland have shown that it's possible to create entanglement between regions of spacetime that are separated in time but not in space, and then to convert the timelike entanglement into normal spacelike entanglement. They also discuss the possibility of using this timelike entanglement from the quantum vacuum for a process they call "teleportation in time." "To me, the exciting aspect of this result (that entanglement exists between the future and past) is that it is quite a general property of nature and opens the door to new creativity, since we know that entanglement can be viewed as a resource for quantum technology," Olson told PhysOrg.com. http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-01-physicists-method-timelike-entanglement.html
It should also be noted that the preceding experiment pretty much dots all the i's and crosses all the t's as far as concretely establishing 'transcendent information' as its own unique entity. Its own unique entity that is completely separate from, and dominate of, space-time, matter and energy.bornagain77_{October 23, 2011

and we have from Joyce's work on self replication,,,
So, advertising this as “self-replication” is a bit like advertising something as “free” when the actual deal is 1 free for every 1,600 purchased. It’s even worse, though, because you need lots of the pre-made precursors in cozy proximity to a finished RNA in order to kick the process off. That makes the real deal more like n free for every 1,600 n purchased, with the caveats that n must be a very large number and that full payment must be made in advance.
so remove the 1,600n purchased by intelligence and you have nothing free for evolutionary processes to claim,,, But alas such tripe is what neo-Darwinists constantly sellbornagain77_{October 23, 2011

ChasD: “You seem to be suggesting that “neo-Darwinists” have trouble explaining how ecosystems can arise.” ==== They can’t even explain or show us just how to save the ones presently going extinct as a result of their own misuse and abuse of science. How do you expect Neo-Dariwnism to explain their arise in the first place ???
I think you are laying a little too much at the door of this particular group of scientists, however much you may despise them. I don't think neo-Darwinists are responsible for the loss of biodiversity! :0) Arguably, however, those scientists who have helped work out how to increase crop yields, counteract infertility, or stave off death and disease ... they are arguably creating a circumstance that, in the long run, will probably have some disastrous consequences for other species and for ourselves. Does this mean that the scientific endeavour were best never started? Dunno. But understanding the limits to growth is very much a "Darwinian" thing to do.

ChasD: “Show me just one example of intelligence creating a replicating chemical system from inorganic components.” ===== Gerald Joyce’s multiple Intelligent Designing experiments are prime examples what just how it takes an intelligent mind/s to accomplish anything.
I think you miss the point of the quoted text. Joyce uses evolutionary principles in molecular design. That is not "creating a replicating chemical system from inorganic components", but using a kind of directed evolution to devise molecules, which are created in a completely non-complex state wrt each other. I certainly don't deny that intelligence can do what evolution is purported to be capable of. It would be surprising if intelligence could not marshal material causes such as selection on gross objects, and of course it can. We can talk about evolution, or we can talk about abiogenesis, but they are two very different mechanistic systems, which is the point I was really trying to get across.Chas D_{October 23, 2011
