Debate: Do You Believe in God ?
Side: No

My science is air-tight with no holes. Equal to doctoral level and far above anybody here on CD.I do not think I can help you understand if you cannot comprehend even how bacteria forms. You posit that it cannot come from nothing. It has to come from bacteria. This is patently false. Does food have bacteria in it already before it, say, sits out at room tempt too long and then develops it? No.I have given you at least two links explaining basic h.s. level Biology and Bacteriology. I doubt you even read them. So you really look like a fool coming back at me with falsities when you are bereft of basic understanding in the subject. And then you have the balls to accuse me of not understanding Biology?Wow. Nobody everyone around here despises you and thinks you're a deluded Religious zealot and troll. The arrogance and delusion of you people never ceases to amaze me. But....as an academic and teacher and lover of all things Biology, I will try to explain basic Bacterial genesis and replication once more. Please listen.OK.....First: the term bacterial growth generally refers to the growth of a group of bacteria rather than a single cell. Single cells generally do not get larger in size, so the term growth refers to the reproduction of cells.Bacteria most commonly reproduce by fission, the process by which a single cell divides to produce two new cells. The process of fission may take anywhere from 15 minutes to 16 hours, depending on the type of bacterium.A number of factors influence the rate at which bacterial growth occurs, the most important of which are moisture, temperature, and pH. Bacteria are about 80 to 90 percent water. If too much water passes into or out of a bacterial cell, the cell dies. The bacterial cell wall provides protection against the gain or loss of water in most ordinary circumstances. But conditions may be such as to produce an unusually large gain or loss of water.For example, if a bacterial cell is placed in a highly concentrated solution of salt water, water begins to pass out of a cell and into the salt water. The cell begins to shrink and is unable to carry on normal life functions. It cannot grow and will eventually die. On the other hand, an excess of water can be harmful to bacteria also. If water flows into a bacterial cell, the cell begins to swell and may eventually burst, resulting in the death of the cell.All bacteria have a particular temperature range at which they can survive. For a specific type of bacteria, that range can be very high, very low, or somewhere in between, although it is always a narrow range. Most bacteria thrive at temperatures close to that of the human body (37°C or 98.6°F). But some bacteria prefer cold temperatures as low as freezing (0°C or 32°F), and others require very hot temperatures such as those found in hot springs (50°C to 90°C or 120°F to 200°F). The most extreme conditions in which bacteria have been found are around the hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos Islands. The temperatures near these cracks in the ocean floor is about 350°C (660°F), an environment just right, apparently, for the bacteria that live there.Another factor affecting bacterial growth is pH, the acidity of a solution. Most bacteria require a pH of 6.7 to 7.5 (slightly more or less acidic than pure water). Other bacteria, however, can survive at a pH more severe than that of battery acid.Finally, bacteria may or may not require oxygen to grow. Those that do need oxygen are called aerobic bacteria, while those that do not are known as anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria have evolved ways of using substances other than oxygen, such as compounds of nitrogen, to obtain the energy they need to survive and grow. There. Does this help? I hope so. It will be my last post on this topic. I will not defend or discuss Abiogenesis with somebody who refuses to learn and out of fear just runs back to his bible and his non-existent make-believe friend when facts begin to disprove the targets and tenets of his faith. (superstition).
