Cage Match #11 :: "Popemobile vs the White Bronco"

First Ever to Include "Cars" in the Cage Match

--VERSUS--

Is the Popemobile a second-hand car? - Telegraph: " And if you want the same paint job for your C-class you'll have to ask your dealer for "Vatican mystic white". As with all Popemobiles, it carries the registration "SCV 1" (an abbreviation of the Italian and Latin names for Vatican City, Stato della Città del Vaticano and Status Civitatis Vaticanae, respectively)."

This is about uber-economics. What was the real cost of OJ "Orenthal James" Simpson's trial and error, not in that order? You see the jurors in the OJ trial were sequestered, average age of the juror was 43, exhibits presented during testimony: Defense 369; prosecution 488, cost: estimated $9 million for Los Angeles County--includes costs for court and prosecution--defense costs not known, the cost of Simpson's defense is estimated at $3 million to $6 million.


Think, 1.2 billion voices. So much for all the pre-conclave speculation and scenarios. For those of you who view papal elections in terms of brackets, e.g., Religious News Service's "Sweet Sistine, the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio is even bigger than a play-in team upsetting a #1 in the first round, and then going on to win the championship. (Brian Olszewski on Mar 15, 2013. HERE )

Calls to mind that Jesuit cardinal and eventual doctor of the church, St. Robert Bellarmine, who, when he resided at the Vatican in the early 1600s, tore the tapestries from the walls of his room in order to clothe the poor. He was said to have remarked, "The walls won't catch cold."

As for the "real cost" of papal switching, good luck with that. In other words we came up empty in our Googling. There are 1.2 billion Catholics in the world. That is one-seventh of the world's population. Now if every Catholic gave just one Euro ...

Down in the mouth: Root Canal Awareness Week begins this Sunday.

You know, folks, the new Pope was just elected about two hours ago. Here is a Wiki page already posted online. How smooth is that? Pope Francis: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Pretty darn smooth.

" ... Argentine Jorge Bergoglio has been elected pope, the first ever from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Pope Francis. After announcing “Habemus Papum” “We have a pope!” a cardinal standing on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday revealed the identity of the new pontiff, using his Latin name. Bergoglio had reportedly finished second in the 2005 conclave that produced Benedict XVI who last month became the first pope to resign in 600 years. The 76-year-old archbishop of Buenos Aires has spent nearly his entire career at home in Argentina, overseeing churches and shoe-leather priests. ... "

MooPig Announcements Segment :: 4:53 AM "PANSPERMIA"

Chain, Chain, Chain
Retrievals by Pat Darnell

1953 through 1965-ish and Now
The Short Answer:
Formation of the building blocks of Life, DNA, discovered in 1953, is possibly directed by a vastly superior life form. If the properties of matter (i.e., the medium) do not suffice to explain the origin of information, what does?

In studying an object, or event, like the origin of biological life on earth, the basic approach of Intelligent Design Theory, IDT, means to apply what are essentially three key areas of questioning:

• 1. Contingency - did it have to happen?
• 2. Complexity - did it happen by accident?
• 3. Specification - did an intelligent agent cause it to happen?

The Long Answer [EXCERPT]
" ... [T]he discovery of Francis Crick and James Dewey Watson. ... DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the foundational molecule of every lifeform on earth. Any single human DNA contains the information to direct all the one hundred trillion cells in the human body. It also has the capability of both reproducing and repairing itself.

It is a molecular chain of approximately one billion nucleotides (combination strings of four specific chemicals which function like computer code; explained a bit more here.)"

"Francis Crick's work with DNA afforded him knowledge and observations unavailable to previous evolutionists.

Specifically, Crick: "

• knew of the astonishing complexity of DNA,
• researched and confirmed the absence of evidence for a primordial soup,
• observed that life appears suddenly and with complexity in the fossil record, and
• confirmed the absence of any fossil evidence for transitional forms of life. (SOURCE)

Where did man come from?
Theory: ... directed panspermia ::

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clark

"A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature." - FredHoyle

IDT and the origin of DNA

"DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the foundational molecule of every lifeform on earth; it's a molecular chain approximately one billion nucleotides in length.

"A nucleotide is essentially a string of four specific chemicals;

1. adenine,
2. cytosine,
3. guanine,
4. and thymine (or A, C, G, and T). (SOURCE)"

Summary:
DNA is similar to binary code, only using combinations of four characters instead of two. The order in which the four chemicals appear on any given nucleotide strand, likewise, is not controlled by any law or property of chemistry.

"Stephen C. Meyer confirms, 'Because chemical bonds do not determine the arrangement of nucleotide bases, the nucleotides can assume a vast array of possible sequences and thereby express many different biochemical messages.'"

For Arguments' Sake:
1. Life cannot have arisen by chance,
2. Mutations do not add to a cell's genetic code to improve it,
3. Multiple life forms do indeed exist which are irreducibly complex,
4. The appearance of animal types in the fossil record do not follow an inverted pyramid, but began simultaneously in the Cambrian explosion,
5. Animal species are not ever-widening but actually falling off, and...
6. There are absolutely no transitional forms in any fossil record.(SOURCE)
