The reality about evolution is that the grand idea of randomly thumping together life from raw matter is both abstract and absurd in comparison to what you do in both organic and physical chemistry. When it comes to assembling complex organic compounds from raw materials, you do not sit around and expect it to happen by accident. In fact, the probability is so minute that a complex organic compound will form without you guiding the reacion is... well, let’s just say it would be a miracle for you to sit around and expect it to happen. It’s like giving a chimpanzee a typewriter and expecting the chimp to write some magnificent script for the next blockbuster film... Either way, the idea of life randomly coming into being from raw elements by accident is something we, as of yet, cannot experimentally replicate. And one of the real important, defining aspect of science is the experimental aspect, producing results from a controlled test.
The important key to evolution is to understand that it is limited in terms of what it does offer, and understanding what it gives in practicality, as opposed to the pseudoscience some people like to use.
“It’s like giving a chimpanzee a typewriter and expecting the chimp to write some magnificent script for the next blockbuster film... “
Nah, it’s a lot worse odds than that. It’s more like smashing a typewriter into a thousand pieces with a sledgehammer, then putting a lobotomized monkey in a room with the pieces, and coming back in a few years and finding a reassembled typewriter.
Isn't that how most films are written these days? Find a formula and fill in the blanks?
