This is just going to be a quick post, to let everyone know that I am still alive. I am really, very lazy when it comes to writing in my blog, so I would recommend to anyone reading this that they follow me on twitter, as I generally share my thoughts and rants more often that way.
Last weekend my hubby and I went to Berlin to apply for his Aussie visa, and luckily, it went extremely well, and he was fortunate enough to be granted entry into Australia 
YAY! He has 2 yrs of probation in Oz, and after that he will get permanent residency So lets hope that he’s a good boy and stays out of trouble for the first couple of yrs

A little while ago I had a debate with a believer in ‘Intelligent Design’ via twitter. I was amazed at how utterly stupid this person was. His ‘proof’ of god was the basic argument of ‘things look like they have been designed’. Sorry, but NO. That is not sufficient proof of ANYTHING. Our brains have evolved to see patterns in everything. We have evolved this way because it is necessary for us to see these patterns, in order to make sense of the world around us. Seeing patterns in things does not point to a designer. It proves NOTHING. This person was also stupid enough to assume that evolution tries to explain the origin of life.
To all theists, Creationists and believers of Intelligent Design, lets get something clear:
EVOLUTION explains the diversity of life. Not how it started.
ABIOGENESIS: Explains the origin of life from non-life.
Despite the opinions of the idiots who believe nonsense such as intelligent design, Abiogenesis is by no means untestable or unprovable. We have already managed to create synthetic life several times in the laboratory, with scientists recently creating a fully functioning ribisome: http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/22273/?a=f
While the synthetic life we have created is not exactly the same as that which was around when the earth was young, we are getting much closer and I am very confident that we will be capable of creating such organisms in the near future.
The mountains of research that helps to strengthen the FACT of evolution, and the amazing research/experiments that are taking place to make life from non-life far outnumber the supposed ‘proofs’ of an intelligent designer.
Until ACTUAL evidence for an intelligent designer arises, this crackpot theory can go in my filing cabinet alongside Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
Anyway, thats enough from me today. Time to continue relaxing
If anyone has found some great information/research on abiogenesis, please send me the links, because I enjoy reading about it.
Have a great and godless weekend
