Here you see the difference between science and creationism.
Creationists do nothing to support their position. Their entire
"science" consists of whining about all the scientific evidence for
evolution.
But here we have a real scientists showing how it's done. Gerta
Keller thinks there's something amiss with the prevailing
understanding that a massive meteorite wiped out over 80% of species
then alive, marking the end of the cretaceous period. So what did she
do? Did she take the creationist route and simply whine about it in
Internet news groups? Did she start a web site and whine about it
there? Did she write a vanity-published book and whine about it
there?
No, she didn't do any whining at all. Unlike the creationists, she
actually did the science required to provide support for her position.
But that's not the biggest problem the young-Earth creationists have.
Their problem is explaining the meteor impact and the extinction.
If humans were alive at the same time as the dinosaurs, then they were
alive at the same time as the literally Earth-shattering impact, yet
nowhere in the Bible does this unmissable event get a single mention.
Nowhere in the Bible does the disappearance of some 85% of living
species get a mention. In fact not *one* of the five major
extinctions gets a mention in the Bible, nor does *any* of the massive
meteor strikes Earth has suffered since the planet first congealed 4.5
billion years ago.
What this proves is that he creationists are liars when they claim
that Earth is only six thousand years old (or whatever their
ridiculous young-Earth claim happens to be) and they are liars when
they claim humans have been around since the "beginning".

Creationism as YOU define it is a 6000 year old earth. We Christians define
creationism as a 4.5 billion year old earth, and a universe as 14.5 billion
years old.

He claims that "we Christians define creationsim (sic) as a 4.5
billion year old Earth". The fact that he's a LIAR is proven by this
study here:
http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publi.htm
You can see from this that pretty consistently, ~46% of the US
population believe that "God created man pretty much in his present
form at one time within the last 10,000 years."
Since some 90% of the US accept that there is a god, and some 80%
accept that there was a Jesus Christ, then you can see that there is a
huge portion of the population that does indeed take the Bible
literally.
Dumb Duck-Egg has had this pointed out to him repeatedly, and it's
testimony only to his abysmal stupidity that he is still telling this

I love it when you xtians can't even agree on your own fable!
Ken Ham is certainly a one of you, and HE believes in it... and
(unlike you), HE has an actual DEGREE!
When Mt. St. Helens exploded, it carved an enormous path a long
distance and layed down 30' of sediment ... all in 15 minutes ., so it
doesnt take millions of years for such things. The millions of years
mantra is necessary to give chance every possible chance via
Naturalism/Accidentalism to produce highly complex things such as
DNA ...that can only come from willful Intelligence .
Modern science is confirming The Bible on almost a daily basis :
The head of the Human Genome Project, Dr Francis Collins, last year
published a book about his journey from atheism into faith arguing
that
science and religion, far from being irreconcilable, are in fact in
deep
harmony. Even AGNOSTIC scientists such as Prof. Robert Gastrow of
NASA Goddard Institute and author of 'God and the Astronomers' says
all of (real) science culminates in Genesis 1:1 'In the beginning
""GOD"" created the heavens and the earth' . Its only people who
force themselves to believe in 19th century 'science' and who
(beforehand) refuse to consider a Divine Creator .... that say given
enough time , anything can happen.
Could you tell us how your choice of (vile) language coincides with
you not wanting a personal Creator/Designer , God, to exist ? Thank
you kindly.
Old age Creationist/Christians and Young age Creationist/Christians
often argue extraneous issues ; what all Christians do believe in is
the Creator of the Universe and that he came to earth in the person of
Jesus Christ as corroborated by christian as well as secular
scientific evidences . Many atheists are at odds on various
issues ... some even know that using uncontrolled foul language is
morally incorrect and so they refrain from using it. Others know
human life starts at conception and place instrinsic worth and dignity
in the developing BABY human. Some dont even support Dawkins and his
vitrol toward the Christian Faith and Creation Scientists . Ergo,
atheism isnt as harmonious as you think it is .
It may surprise you know that there is a difference between what is
laid down due to volcanic eruption, and what is laid down by a river
delta.
And scientists can tell the difference.

"We Christians"?
http://www.creationism.org/topbar/faq.htm
Didn't the dinosaurs go extinct 65 million years ago?
There is good evidence that the Earth is only thousands of years old.
In BOOKS, see Dr. Ackerman's It's a Young World After All. The "65
million years" is a recent mental invention. Evolution provides a
mental hiding place from our powerful Creator. Evolution claims
(theologically) that our God is weak or non-existent. Right? Think
about what evolution claims about our origins. Dragons (per the
previous FAQ answer) were seen and sometimes fought by our ancestors
on all inhabited continents. Our ancestors were honest in recording
sightings of large dangerous reptilian creatures. They lived
concurrent with man. Humans saw dinosaurs. Sure, stories later
became embellished, but the germ of truth that humans and dinosaurs
(dragons) lived at the same time remains accurate. They lived in
different places ... but at the same time - until the dinosaurs were
mostly driven to extinction. (There are still a few living dinos out
there, by the way.)
4004 B.C. ... you can't be serious!!
There are actually several different versions of what is called
"creation science." Some creationists bend strongly towards accepting
most of the evolutionary interpretations but stop at the point of life
falling together all by itself in the first place. These creationists
argue for an "initial cause" (or "First Cause"), i.e. that
"Someone" ... catalyzed early events and then evolution was the
process used by this "God" after that. From www.creationism.org we
link to a few of those sites, if you're interested. But other
creationists, like those contributing to this web site have continued
learning ... and have come to the understanding (or belief, if one
prefers) that there really is no good scientific evidence supporting
evolutionism at all; and there is no way that the Earth could be over
10,000 years old. This is complicated, but many of these "young earth
creationists" really do believe that 4004 B.C. is probably pretty
close to the original creation date. I know that this sounds utterly
laughable to those who believe that the radioactive dating methods
actually work, sorry.
It looks like "we Christians" disagree with you.

the householders. And when you try to prove them wrong, they are insulted

You are so predictable.
Because, Andrew, Buddika has something which you lack - the honesty
which allows Buddika to be open minded to being shown wrong.
What does it matter what she would do with the evidence?
Can you provide it or not? Why do you always tapdance away like this
when somebody ask for evidence of God?
Present the evidence and you'll find out. I'm posting reports of new
scientific evidence for abiogenesis and evolution every month, every
year, regularly, repeatedly, with no effort at all. Why is it that
you creationists **CANNOT POST EVEN ONE SINGLE ITEM OF EVIDENCE FOR
YOUR CREATION**?
Budikka
Because - AS I'VE REPEATEDLY TOLD YOU, but which your;e quite
evidently too fundamentally STUPID to even remotely grasp, *unlike
you*, I go by the weight of the evidence.
No one is more interested in the scientific evidence - either for or
agianst - than those who honestly *support* science.
Now I've been posting my evidence **EVERY MONTH, EVERY YEAR FOR
YEARS** as a simple Google of the above four news groups will prove to
anyone who really wants to know.
If abiogenesis and evolution are wrong, how am I able to so
effortlessly and regularly post new science on the topic for such a
prolonged period?
If creation is right, WHY IS IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU OR ANY OTHER
CREATIONIST TO POST EVEN ONE ITEM OF SCIENCE WHICH POSITIVELY SUPPORTS
A CREATION?
I invite everyone reading this, creationist, evolutionist, and fence-
sitter alike to ponder that and draw their own conclusions.

You obviously did not read her post where she stated the opposite.

There is no need to invent secular scientific evidence of Jesus Christ.
Faith is the important word there. But it is heterodox to Christian
teaching to invent cunning lies about science in order to deceive
ignorant people for cash, social and political rewards.
What atheists do, or do not do, is irrelevant to this issue.
Because it doesn't exist. Of course that doesn't stop you from reading it.
Is the Pope Catholic?
5500 BC -1901 BC =Ur Chaldea's last year or Babylon's 1st year of 300
as year 3600
1900 BC to 500 AD = the end of world expected in India
and expected in Scandanavian Nordic countries in 2400 years
5370 -1770 BC =year 3600 of Mayan belief of Tower of Babel
1770 BC to 630 AD = 2400 years to king Pacal Shield Votan
declared as christ king for another 52 years and depicted as
first to go to heaven.
Confirmation of this Mayan creation of Adam in 5370 BC as
a 1200-year Venus exists in more than the match of 1770 BC
as Adam's true year 2256 (4025-1770 BC)
where this year 1770 BC
is claimed by Maya to be not year 2256 but as 3600
and Noah's true year 1200 (2970-1770 BC)
and is claimed by Maya to not be Noahs 1200 but as 1344
that confirmation exists as Adams 2256
being a Mayan 5370- 3114 BC Flood
instead of 4025 -1770 BC which is 600 years after Flood.
That confirmation then also exists as Noahs 1344
regarded as Flood 3114- 1770 BC believing that 1770 BC
are Venus tablets of Hamurabi in 1770 BC not Amizaduga
or are Amizaduga in 1770 BC because it is year 1344
after the 3114 BC Flood. But the truth is 1626 BC is
Noahs year 1344 from his birth 2970 BC thru 2370 BC Flood
to Amizaduga's death in 1626 BC
completing the tablets in 1625 BC.
Thus the Adams 2256 and Noahs 1344 are put end to end
from 5370 BC to 3114 BC Flood to 1770 BC to total 3600
when in fact they total 2400 because the year 2256
is 600 after the Flood, and the year 1344 overlaps it by
1200 years from 2970-1770 BC making this year 1344 as
only 144 years after Hamurabi being Amizaduga 1626 BC.
FURTHER confirmation is the end of the world before 3114 BC
is NOT a previous 5200 years of 360 days (5125 years)
but rather Spinden finds that 260 years earlier is an epoch of
3374 BC which is marked in Genesis by the fact that Peleg
died in Adams year 1996 being 260 years before year 2256
which is the death of Nimrod in the year of baby Judah's
birth in Syria. And further this Mayan year is confirmed by name
of year, it is the year that turned into MONKEY when men
panicked from a flood of death (short longevity =2030 BC)
and so scattered like monkeys to save themselves from Ur's
mass suicide (2029 BC) in year 1996 being 260 years before
year 2256 (1770 BC) just as Spinden's epoch or end of world
is 3374 BC (1996 AM) being 260 years before Mayan Flood
3114 BC (2256 AM).
So here we have three false Venus tablet dates around this
while planet in every culture as a false year 3600
1600 BC and 1900 BC and 1770 BC
verifying the true 1626 BC as being year 2400 of Adam.
You cannot get truer than this, as Jesus said a dead man
could come to life and these people would still not beleive
(not the miracle, nor the words of the dead man saying he
is king Amizaduga). Most scientists and most creationists
find only themselves profound and so others who are
so profound in their eyes are people who are just like
themselves as they look in the mirror saying aint i so right.
Both sides lose; both will not predict the hour; theose
predicting the hour win as they see all other people sadly
die in the billions not understanding the truth of the warning.
Does no good for science to say see we predicted this
asteroid if they are the ones all dying from its impact and
a religion (one religion) is what saved those who live thru it.
ELIJAH HERE ushering the bride to heaven,
she gives her blood to inspire flesh to live thru this.
See the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world,
the Lamb that was one is soon to be 144,001

and post your positive scientific evidence for a creation and you'll
see what I meant. Or admit that you're simply LYING about even having
any evidence to begin with. That's the inevitable conclusion I will

have.

It is interesting that the author of that line is more honest than the
average creationist. Still, rational people do not use irrational
sources and no creationist website has ever been rational. Maybe that is
why Andrew decided that he had to hide the source
<http://creationwiki.org/Abiogenesis> of the quote.
Andrew makes me glad that I awoke from the stupor of religion.
> But then who seeded the seeders?
It was probably someone pretty seedy.
Yeah, you tried predicting that the asteroid would be here at Easter,
but you were wrong on that and billions of people did not die.
You are failed prophet, Elijahovah.
I guess we all evolved on the wrong side of the tracks, then. Or at
least that's what the creationists seem to think.
Amazing that statements like these can be made when universe/earth
numbers have had a wide array of theorizing in the scientific
community as well. In Evolution alone I think there are something
like a 100 differing theories of how it might be done or have taken
place. The amazing thing about why one would put credence in a theory
that no one has seen or can see right now...that being how life arose
on this planet via any provable scientific evolutionary theory.
Creationists just marvel at the end results and apparent planning and
scratch their heads at why people would invest time theorizing
something that has never supported their cause.

Let's put it to the test, shall we? We shall, in successive turns,
you and I, post one item of positive scientific evidence for our
position. You go first since you are the one who claims to have
irrefutable evidence.
When you've posted your *ONE* *ITEM* of *POSITIVE* *SCIENTIFIC*
evidence *FOR* creation, then I shall post a likewise item for my
position.
Then it will be your turn again. Each item must be different form the

Do you agree? If you accept my challenge, then go ahead and post your
first item right here. I will respond in kind.
The ball is in your court. Your failure to post any evidence will be
taken by everyone who reads as *irrefutable evidence* that you have no
evidence, which is what I've maintained all along.
This is your chance to prove us all wrong. Will you take it? Let's
see.
Budikka
Where is your scientific evidence that abiogenesis is impossible? Not
your opinion, not your whining about the abundance of scientific
evidence there is for abiogenesis, but your positive scientific
evidence which shows abiogenesis is impossible. Where is it?
Or is this yet another LIE from you?
", but not new science.
I posted this on April 17th:
http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.0402
You posted messages in that same thread. Now you're LYING that I
never posted this or any other new evidence on abiogenesis. Why is
that?
Why is it that I can keep positing evidence, but you are forced to
keep LYING?
If you're right and I'm wrong, why is it that *I* can keep posting new
items of scientific evidence regularly, and you cannot post even
**ONE** item for your position?
The abstract of the above URL says, "Of the twenty amino acids used in
proteins, ten were formed in Miller's atmospheric discharge
experiments. The two other major proposed sources of prebiotic amino
acid synthesis include formation in hydrothermal vents and delivery to
Earth via meteorites. We combine observational and experimental data
of amino acid frequencies formed by these diverse mechanisms and show
that, regardless of the source, these ten early amino acids can be
ranked in order of decreasing abundance in prebiotic contexts. This
order can be predicted by thermodynamics. The relative abundances of
the early amino acids were most likely reflected in the composition of
the first proteins at the time the genetic code originated. The
remaining amino acids were incorporated into proteins after pathways
for their biochemical synthesis evolved. This is consistent with
theories of the evolution of the genetic code by stepwise addition of
new amino acids. These are hints that key aspects of early
biochemistry may be universal"
This is evidence for abiogenesis. FACT. Now where is your evidence
for creation?
You cannot present even one item, can you?
So, failing that, as you always do, where is your scientific evidence
that overturns the material I presented? Where is your science which
proves that this *doesn't* constitute evidence for abiogenesis?
Your failure to provide any will be your open admission t at you LIED.
And I don't want your irrelevant whining about "they didn't make
life". This is not about scientists making life and it never has
been. It's about the scientific feasibility of abiogenesis. We're
discussing who has the evidence. I do. You do not.
Now what is the scientific position again? That's right. The
scientific position is the one with the evidence.
Now what is the blind religious position again? That's right. The
blind religious position is the one with zero evidence.
Guess which is my position and which is yours.
Now who is LYING here?

Coryu isn;t on trial here. Youy are.

Let's put it to the test, shall we? We shall, in successive turns,
you and I, post one item of positive scientific evidence for our
position. I shall post positive scientific evidence for abiogenesis
and evolution, you shall post it for creation.
By positive scientific evidence I mean evidence of scientific nature,
the only conclusion we can draw from which is that our own position is
the correct one.
As an example, you cannot, as Idiot Duke does, claim that the Big Bang
is positive scientific evidence for a creator, because the Big Bang is
not evidence in favor of one side or the other, it's just a fact of
nature. The only way to show it is evidence for a creator would be to
show that something triggered the Big Bang which could not have had a
natural cause.
You go first since you are the one who has been claiming that you have
irrefutable evidence.
When you've posted your *ONE* *ITEM* of *POSITIVE* *SCIENTIFIC*
evidence *FOR* creation, then I shall post a likewise item for my
position.
Then it will be your turn again. Each item must be different from the
previous ones posted.
Let's see who runs out first.

correct one - i.e. that it has the evidence.
Do you agree? If you accept my challenge, then go ahead and post your

court. I've been posting evidence regualrly, and I'm prepared to post
more. You have yet to post even one item of positive science for your
position. That's why you need to go first.
Your failure to post anything relevant will be taken by everyone who
reads as *irrefutable evidence* that you have nothing, which is what
Take a look: the Hebrew (Genesis) account, summarizing creation, is
fine, and certainly estimable. But it is hardly the only worthwhile or
venerable creation myth extant, which survives down to our time.
There are innumerable beautiful and inspiring creation myths, which
have been culled from just as many cultures, or distilled from oral
narratives, or committed into writing in more recent times, which are
no less instructive than
the Hebrew version found in Genesis.
You REALLY need to get to a museum, or pick up a beginning

Evolutionary theory has NOTHING to do with the origin
of life... The really "amazing" thing is when you creationists
argue against things you obviously don't even UNDERSTAND.
I have no quarrel with your assertion. I, for one, find much that
resonates in Native American creation mythology. I don't mind if
people have creation myths.
The problem lies with the christian fundamentalists who *insist* that
the biblical account of creation is literally true. They have to do
that, because if they don't, their recipe for "salvation" falls
apart. That's why they spend so much time in alt.atheism and
talk.origins trying to refute science.

The reason people make these types of statements that evolutionary
theory doesn't have anything to do with origins of life, is because
they are embarrassed that they can't connect it. Not only cannot they
connect it, it's embarrassing that it should be the easiest and most
available for proof. So they get lost in the diversity of life, which
leads to speculation becoming dogma.
It's obvious that if an evolutionary tale were true that it would
connect to the first forms which we would call life.

One can plug anything into they want to. Superior being, Intelligence

tale is that someone on this earth has proposed that random acts and
chemicals (which are highly mathematical with physics) interacted to
form life on pure randomness.

There is no burden on Creationists. The end product is always the
proof with things complete and very sophistacatedly complex. The
burden is showing that natural phenomena had a way of creating life on
it's own, which really is the in the unsupported assertion category
you bring up. People here on earth associate products with assembly
and intelligence behind them. That's all creationists do, and if you
can't assemble your product without a designer, that ball will always
be in your court.

No, no, no. It is because the knowledge needed to deal with
this question does not require the same skill set.
Expertise in molecular biology, chemistry,
chemical biology, and expertise on the conditions of early earth
are what is required.
And, these experts have nothing to be "embarrassed" about,
either. Look here:

Looking at your first link it looks like they are playing way ahead of
life and putting amino acids with DNA. That might be considered 'fun'
but it has nothing to do with making a highly complex, factory-like,
environment which the cell has with the DNA already intact. So if you
want to be real chemical and scientific, that needs to be explained,

How is some being complex enough to produce it going to
come into being first so that it can produce a life less
complex than it is? Your denials of science do not explain
anything whatever.

Of course there is one tiny problem with that.
You claim that life on earth had to be created by some outside agency, but you
have no evidence as to what that agency might be.
In your efforts to have your evolution bashing arguments treated as a scientific
theory, and brought into the science classroom, you have back-pedaled like
blazes, away from "God centred Creation", and have invented "Intelligent
Design".
You have substituted various explanations, superior intelligence, alien seeding,
etc, denying that your designer has to be God, or a god, but could as well be
some super intelligent ET.
But as I said, there is just one tiny flaw; You are unable to tell us where any
of your proposed designers came from.
One of your sillier arguments against evolution is irreducible complexity, yet
you hit a similar wall with your superior intelligence argument.
Somewhere back there, billions of years ago, the life that was to become your
first "Superior Intelligence": Where did that come from?
And before you say "goddidit", just remember that exactly the same applies to
your god: Where did IT come from?
Ultimately, you are left with special pleading, of the "God was always there",
variety, to explain it.
So tell us: If something as big, as intelligent, as powerful, as obviously
complex, as God, could just have "always existed", then why not the much
simpler, raw energy, from which the universe as we know it formed.
And if the raw energy could have "just existed", why could life NOT have
evolved?
You all like to argue that it is a mathematical impossibility, for abiogenesis
to have occurred, but you never explain why, you never produce the figures upon
which you base your assertions.
Try explaining EXACTLY why abiogenesis, is impossible.

Two totally different subjects.
Abiogenesis, is about hoe life began, evolution is about what it did next.
Even if it turned out to be true, that Earth was seeded with life, from some
external source, billions of years ago, it would not make one iota of difference
to evolution theory.
How life got here is irrelevant, evolution is about what that life did, and what
happened to it.
>All that produces no functioning life.
You got evidence to support that, or is it just more, assertion from
incredulity.

Does it never occur to you that a "a volatile, chaotic earth", could have been
the "perfect conditions"?
A bunch of lies, which have been snipped to protect the innocence of the
young athiests here.
You don't have another thing to say until and unless you bring on the
evidence. Do scientists have evidence for abiogenesis and evolution?
Yes, they have a wealth of positive scientific evidence for
abiogenesis and for evolution.
Does curtjester1 have any positive scientific evidence for creation?
No, he doesn't have even one tiny item of evidence to offer, yet he
stupidly and arrogantly tries to dictate that we should toss out all
the evidence we do have just so this spoiled brat moron can get his
own way!
FUCK YOU CURTJESTER1

It's not up to me to read articles. I just pointed out your article
doesn't show in any shape or form that scienftic discovery or thought
has uncovered a natural process that would produce it much less
produce it when stacked unnatural things are used. Evolution isn't a
handy explanation. It's a mask of an explanation when it can't come
up with proof.

There is a number that some have used to define as 1 in a longshot as
"never ever gonna happen" It's something like 10 to the 30th power.
What ever the number could be, it's NOT a likely number. Why would
one want to put their money on the line on a bet that has no good
chance of winning?

Perfect for what? It's not like an Intelligent Designer couldn't have
had a volatile, chaotic earth to draw for it's creating process, is
it? If you believe in the randomness of the chaotic conditions, at
least you should prove that chaos does act in such a way instead of
just assuming that it does and making fun of people that say that it's
not likely.

So why post or rely on these experiment/articles? If you read the

not only do their experiments not produce life, they actually support

Why do they keep experimenting ala Urey-Miller when they failed
miserably? The inaneness for such experimenting must not be based on
odds, or any likelihood at all, yet if they find something they can be
'superstars' of the science community...saying WE (the ones who seek
glory) have found 'it'. It's got you so deluded that you even think
they are 'CLOSER'. And when you discount "supernatural bunk", you are
saying in essence, I don't WANT an outside source for life's
arrivals. Of course eliminating that from the equation is NOT very
hypothetically sound if one wants to take in possibilities, is it?

So you want to get into the cat was a dog vs. the cat was never a
dog. Have fun, but it has nothing to do with life's origins, and by
many people's standards, if evolution were the source of all life here
on earth, it would be easy to prove that it existed in the early forms
of life in the abiogenesis.

It is not like you have shown any evidence for the existence of a designer,

Chemical reactions are not random. I don't know why you
creationists continue to insist on randomness. Actual randomness
is actually very difficult to achieve. Even the simplest rules
are likely to quickly result in extreme complexity,
as experiments with cellular automita have proven. Randomness
has very little to do with it. But you yahoos keep pretending
that this hasn't been explained to you. You keep telling us
that we told you it came about randomly. Well, it didn't.
But there is absolutely no evidence that a god did it.

Bullshit. You have absolutely no experiment or evidence that backs
up your superstition _at_ _all_. You might as well be claiming that
a Yeti lives in the closet of your double wide -- except the situation
is even worse for you:
You _always_ have to explain how something got complex enough to
be the intelligence that created the universe -- _before_ s/he
created the universe.

There is no negative involved. You simply cannot prove scientifically

Randomness coincides with chaos. You can't even define chaos really,
since it can't be proved to be 'unrandom' since it has the properties
of mathematics in molecules. There is 'no reason' for anything to be
mathematical. Until you define that, I am afraid you are just fishing
for an 'any' explanation.

Oh really? Why is it so common to see things like the Big Bang
described as energy compressed into the head of a pin, then a
releasing? The scientific community has no idea, but they say stuff
like that to make it 'sound ok'. Yet, you will blindly go along with

I guess if one looks at salad as ingredients and assigns things
necessary for life, that's exactly what it is, and it's attempted by
many. The right gravity, raining water in atmosphere on a scheduled
basis, DNA forming, the tides, the Sun being at a conscise
distance....hundreds of such things...people attempt to put numbers
to. Yet, people that believe in randomness, can't put any numbers
that say...oh, that's likely to happen. How come?

Just tossing about what is tossed about in scientific cirlcles. There
is no true number, but whatever the number is, it's not likely to
happen on it's own. That's the rub. You can't make up a scenario
where it's likely to happen. I showed you the link of the Miller-Urey
falacy and how improbable it made that look. Where is the faith that
your god-didn't-do-it way has any potential logic or crediblility?

couldn't have existed in any time of the past does it?

You can't go that way with chemicals because you don't know how even
they arose. Why do highly mathematical things arise? There is no
reason that mathematics on a high level should be a given and the word
randomness be given it, yet you don't even go there and start with
chemical reactions which you can't say are without a cause or
intelligent force behind them.

That's why there is no need to experiment at all. Just look at the
end product. You don't get sophistication and superior planning for
function out of nothing, chaos, or randomness. You look for the how's
when the answer for life is much simpler. Like I said, you don't need
to know how things are made to know that they are.

Nope, just the point. It just 'is'. If one believes it the luck of a
unique explosion, then go ahead. And even that won't do unless you
show us the luck and the explosion.

The how's and diversity of life. Interesting, but unnecessary for the
belief in a Creator. If you want to believe that the cat was a dog,
have at it. Even if you proved that it was, it still wouldn't
necessarily negate a Creator, would it?

Darwin had his own problems with things that couldn't be appearing
gradual, and many other things. There are many people who are highly
educated in many scientific areas that look at a Creator as a logical
conclusion. We're not falling into your little diatribe.

Science by cheerleading at it's best, folks.
