Bacteria may be the first living organisms. Even the most primitive bacterium is programmed with complex information in DNA. If the first bacterium were assembled from inanimate chemicals, where did its DNA information come from? Is it possible to get information from random physical forces, or must it come from an intelligent designer?
If the information in the genetic code came from random physical forces, is there any other instance of random physical forces assembling even simple information, much less the genetic code to build a living organism?|||We know from our experience that we can convey information with a twenty-six-letter, or even with just two characters, like zeros and ones used in the binary code in computers. But it's important that the letters go in the right order. Order makes the difference unite and untie. The same is true for genes. In DNA, there are long lines of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts that are precisely arranged in order to assemble the amino acids into proteins. Different arrangements of characters yield different sequences of amino acids.
For more than fifty years, as scientists have studied the six feet of DNA tightly coiled inside every one of our body's one hundred trillion cells, they have marveled at how it provides the genetic information necessary to create all of the different proteins out of which our bodies are built. In fact, each one of the thirty thousand genes that are embedded in our twenty-three pairs of chromosomes can yield as many as 20,500 different kinds of proteins. The presence of such specific information in DNA raises a critical issue. If you can't explain where the information comes from, you haven't explained life, because it's the information that makes the molecules into something that actually functions.
Bill Gates once said that DNA is like a software program, only much more complex than anything people have ever devised. At Microsoft, Gates uses intelligent programmers to produce software. In an analogous way, many scientists today believe that it makes sense that an intelligent being 'programmed' DNA.
It seems that a number of skeptics above favor the RNA-1st hypothesis. The RNA-1st hypothesis says that the first cell was reproduced by using RNA instead of DNA. Like DNA, RNA can store information and even replicate. Some small viruses use RNA as their genetic material. But because RNA molecules are simpler than DNA, some scientists thought they might be more likely to form through natural processes or pure chance.
Although popular for a while, the RNA theory has generated more than its share of skeptics. The main problem is that the RNA molecule would need a certain minimal amount of information to function, just as DNA would, so we're right back to the same problem of where the information came from the first place.
Dr. Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the double-helix structure of DNA, has conceded: "An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."|||no|||See abiogenesis.|||*sigh*
The earliest organisms had RNA, not DNA.|||God created everything.
Re: first living cell. See previous sentence.|||WRONG the most early and simple bacteria didn't need DNA, RNA would suffice. you know nothing of abiogenesis|||Today's bacteria are much more complex than the first living cells.|||http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/0鈥?/a>
I'm going to go with physical forces.|||"Bacteria may be the first living organisms."
A: Note your use of the word MAY here, and also note that you follow that up with absolutist statements, rendering your position inconsistent and dishonest.
B: It's been shown repeatedly in the last century, especially via Chaos Theory, that order and complexity CAN arise from random interactions. There are plenty of instances of this; one of the most common is through incredibly basic signalling networks. Set up a set of signalling terminals that can transmit, receive and react, leave them for a while, and they develop primitive but complex networks. So in other words, yes, 'information', or more accurately complexity, can and does arise from simple interactions. Hope this helps your understanding of the world.
kissthepilot: Sorry, magic dust is what YOUR story requires. Us rational people have this thing called 'Chemistry' to help explain things. You might want to look that term up.|||The first life probably was not DNA based cells, but RNA in a less than cellular capacity. The environment they lived in no longer exists on Earth, so even the most primitive bacteria isn't a exact duplicate of the earliest life. Good try, but personal incredulity still isn't proof of a magical designer.
And yes, there are instances of physical forces assembling information. They're called crystals.|||I'm sure it wasn't magic dust, like the evolutionists would have you believe! lol.|||The first, most simplest organisms were just that; simple. It is the billions and trillions of generations since then that've allowed the simple cells to develop DNA, which inevitably accumulated and changed over time.|||i will needs all the information that i'll gets in here by all those answers and of yours questions. Thanks.|||ANything that scientists can study was made by God,
From the bugs to the bacteria, as even some bacteria is needed.
Any physical force within a cell or anything else was created by God.
HE created the entire cellular structure.
HE created DNA, have you ever seen Lamin, the dna markings, formed in the shape of a cross.
You find that a coincidence?
No. God says there are no coincidences. Even in the Hebrew language, there is no word for coincidence.
Many scientists that are believers know these things, and they also know that they cant explain any of it to a non believer, cuz it takes faith to see and truly understand.
But one can have that, if they go to God, repent, and ask Jesus into their heart, and become born again.
Till then, they will never understand.
ALso, we who do know and believe, dont have to proove a thing to anyone.
Nor does God have to proove Himself.
ONce you have faith, He shows you.
And, if one wont have faith, it is not His fault.
Enuff evidence for a creator God is there for all to see.
IF ppl wont follow up to learn more, its not Gods fault.

What information is a school allowed to give out?
Can a college give information like your attendance records, gpa, schedule, or whether or not you're dorming to someone with no permission? My school has given out so much information to people who had no right to know and I want to know if they're even allowed to do that. Is there a website that has my privacy rights as a student?
I'm 20 if it makes a difference. It's not like I'm 17 and a minor or something like that.|||The information that you described is not considered "private" and is not covered by the Privacy Act of 1974 or by HIPAA. The college would be free to disclose this to anyone who requested it (unless you have signed some type of non-disclosure agreement with them).

How could I find information on cap rate scenarios for raw land?
If a large amount of raw land in a prime location is going to be marketed with cap rate scenarios (resort hotel, mobile home park, storage units, campground, shopping center, business offices, etc.), how could I find information on each of these scenarios? This information would have to include a rough estimate of building costs, loan information, rents, taxes, etc. Is there any way to get this information more easily than spending countless hours on dead ends? PLEASE HELP!|||This is a huge topic that cannot be completely covered here. I am a commercial Realtor in Texas, and I deal with development and raw land deals on a regular basis. CAP rate scenarios only truly apply to existing, income-producing properties. All you can do with raw land is create a prospectus. A prospectus is basically a business plan with a bunch of variables, one of which can be a CAP rate on the investment. This is directly tied to the NOI (annual Net Operating Income), which insinuates that the development is already built.
A developer has 2 ways of making money based on a CAP rate. The first is to hold the property over a long period of time, and collect revenue (like a landlord). The second is to fill the spaces (like in a retail center) and establish cash flow, and then sell the property to an investor on a pure CAP rate calculation. These two methods are very different in planning and execution.
Over the long term, a developer will try to get around a 15% return (not truly a CAP rate here) on his initial investment. That means that if they plan to spend $10,000,000 buying the land, building the building, paying commissions, paying management fees, etc, then they should earn an income of $1,500,000 in year one (before debt service, aka the loan payments). Because there are so many risks involved, the percentage must be high.
If the developer plans to sell right after leasing all the spaces (like in a retail center), then they sell the building based entirely on the CAP rate. If the building is 90% leased and earning $1,500,000 a year (after expenses), then they could likely sell to an investment group at an 8% CAP rate, which equals $18,750,000. If it only cost them $12,000,000 to build, then they profit over 50% on the deal (although this is not a CAP rate... it is a profit margin).
Without knowing where you are, it is impossible to guess what construction costs are. Also, the different developments vary immensely in price per foot, so it is impossible to speculate.
If a real estate group is advertising a raw piece of land with a CAP rate, just ignore it... it is just bad marketing. You cannot do a CAP rate this way at all. The only way this could be done is if the site plan is already done and approved, which shows exactly what sort of buildings are to be built and what sort of zoning is allowed, and perhaps if there are already leases signed in advance. But even then, there is no way to predict exactly the costs to build, so the conversation is moot.
In other words, the only person that can predict the CAP rate of any property is the developer himself. Any rates determined by others is just a marketing ploy.
If you would provide more specific info on what you are looking for, I might be able to assist you further. It would be good to know the following:
-What part of the country/state you are in
-How big of a development you are talking of
-What use specifically are you wanting (a retail prospectus is completely different than a self-storage prospectus)
-Are you looking at this from the seller's perspective, or the buyer's?
-Will this be an in-fill project (other parcels nearby are all occupied) or a pioneer project (lots of other vacant land in the area).
That's all I have for now.

What is the difference between Information Warfare and Information Operations?
I see both terms used interchangeably and I don't understand why. Information Operations is a term used by the US Department of Defense, defined in Joint Publication 3-13, but I don't see a reference for Information Warfare. The US Navy has Information Warfare officer and programs, but I don't see how Information Warfare is defined. Can anyone help me?|||Joel --
You've got a good question there. It sounds like a cop out, but the Navy tends to be a little bit sloppy in establishing doctrine and using joint lexicon. You correctly point out that "Information Operations" is a joint term and Navy has signed on to it. Nevertheless, we still use the term Information Warfare, and you are right -- it is generally used to mean the same thing as IO. See the link below and you'll find IW referring to the same warfare areas that you'll see defined in JP 3-13 or JP 1-02.

What information is contained in my US Federal Tax Return e-file transmission to the IRS?
Is there more or less information included than in a paper return filing? I like the convenience of e-filing, but not if I am transmitting more information about my return than is legally required. I am concerned in general about privacy and not providing any more information to 3rd parties (yes, even if it is the US government). Thanks!|||Actually, the IRS gets less information in an e-filed return.
"White paper statements" or attachments are not part of the data that the IRS initially feeds into their system. For example, if you decided to list all of the charitable deductions you had and attached that to your return (or it printed out a statement in your computerized version of the return), that information is not looked at.
The critical information, name, SS#, and then data per line is transmitted.
Possibly, that is the purpose of the hundreds of IRS forms instead of having attachments.|||same info as they get when you do a paper return.
