Scientists see fatal flaws in the NASA study of arsenic-based life.

On Thursday, Dec. 2, Rosie Redfield sat down to read a new paper called, "A
Bacterium That Can Grow by Using Arsenic Instead of Phosphorus." Despite its
innocuous title, the paper had great ambitions. Every living thing that
scientists have ever studied uses phosphorus to build the backbone of its

生“爆炸”破坏了DNA,从而让人有可能在短时间内患上癌症。相关论文发表于《细胞
》。
传统理论认为癌症是人体经历成千上万次的细胞突变后,慢慢演化的结果。但英国著名
的疾病研究机
构桑格研究所的新发现推翻了这种看法。这暗示了不管人们怎么努力保持身体健康,也
不能保证命运
不会拿他们开玩笑。同时还说明了为什么有些人在体检时根本没发现癌症痕迹,但数月
后突然就被诊

桑格学院的科学家是通过研究750个肿瘤的遗传缺陷后得出以上结论的。其中大部分的
案例都与传统
理论相符,染色体的损坏是常年累积的结果。然而,其中至少有1/40的肿瘤不符合“标

染色体似乎是在一夜之间遭到破坏的。
参与此项研究的坎贝尔博士称:“测验结果太让我们惊讶了。在一个细胞里面,染色体

二十五种常遇见的表面问题,背後的预设,和基督教的回应
作者: 林慈信 [信仰之门/www.GODoor.net]
1.表面问题:科学已经证明圣经没有立足地了。我是相信科学的人。
背後预设:科学,和科学家是“中立” 的,“客观” 的;他们没有预设,没有偏见。
科学的理论总是建立在事实上。
基督教的回应:科学其实不断的在改变,而科学的改变是受周围文化的预设所影响的。
科学并不 “中立” ,并不 “客观” 。科学家都被自己的预设和自己
的宇宙人生观所控制。科学家会犯错;也会制作虚假 (不乎合事实) 的理论。历史上,
科学从未能用事实来推翻圣经的任何一句话。不同的科学家,他们的理
论可能与圣经冲突;可是科学并没有任何能推翻圣经的证据。
