“Evolutionary theory does not even pretend to explain how the first living, DNA-based organisms originated.”
Yet there are often broad sweeping and grandiose statements made as if it was the answer to everything... In other areas of science, such a huge gap/blind spot would be viewed as a fatal flaw in the theory/model. Take a look at physics as an example. To oversimplify Newton -> Einstein -> Quantum.
On an even deeper level, the secular world view based on science relies on the assumption of a materialistic explanation for everything and quantum mechanics experiments have pretty much invalidated that assumption. There is not a materialistic reason why observation would change the results of an experiment. And the delayed choice experiment even causes questions for the chronological nature of cause and effect. In short, the Atheists “know” even less today than they “knew” a hundred years ago.
Their new answer is to hope that we are all living in a simulation... Leading us to wonder who wrote the simulation... ROFL, the irony is amazing.
“Their new answer is to hope that we are all living in a simulation... “
That or “multiverse theory”. They need multiple universes because one universe isn’t enough to make their “it all happened by dumb luck” argument work. They have to argue instead “if we had infinite universes, it could all happen by dumb luck in at least one of them”.
