Another cloud free day in Scotland let me catch almost 9 hours of this huge and lively prom. Taken with my home made 90mm modded Coronado PST and DMK21 camera. Software: CdC, Eqmod, DSSR, AutoStakkert!, Wavesharp, DVS, Shotcut and Gimp.

    Except you don’t just get to conflate your personal definition of evolution with the scientific one. If you want to believe rocks “evolve” into a planet, that’s fine. But if you start bringing that up without clarifying your definition of evolution and how it factually differs from the scientific one, people will think you’re crazy.

      Except chemicals do literally evolve into life which evolve into DNA, it is a fuzzy point because DNA didn’t exist yet, but it is still natural selection and random chance that leads to the first life form, I am deliberately conflating biological evolution with the more main stream definition because at that point in time biology physics and chemistry were all physically conflated.

        This is entirely incorrect. Abiogenesis is the mechanism that converts “chemicals” to life. The only thing you are deliberately doing is stating factually incorrect concepts about an intensely deep and developed area of study. The “more mainstream definition” is just wrong.
