as a life-long computer scientist, systems designer and programmer, as well as a lifelong student of the molecular life sciences, it’s crystal clear that life on earth did NOT arise by flipping an atomic coin an astronomical gazillions of times ...
the intra-cellular nano-machinery and mechanisms are mind-blowingly similar to computing machinery, programmatic data, and principles of data coding, such as modular coding and reuse of code ... it’s simply undeniable that cellular functioning consists of an unimaginably intricate set of very clever machines constructed from organic molecule parts ... and anyone who pretends like that all happened by accident is either an ignorant fool or a liar or both ...
Some “scientists” claim to believe that lightning and cosmic rays struck a primordial soup in ammonia-rich oceans, producing the complex molecules that formed the precursors to life. Others believe that chemical reactions at deep-sea hydrothermal vents gave rise to cell membranes and simple cellular pumps.
In other words, the massively sophisticated molecular machinery of single-cell organisms simply arose spontaneously as fully functional units after bombarding mud puddles with lightening and cosmic rays for a few hundred million years.
And, btw, the current THEORY of evolution is no different than the previous “discredited” 19th century “spontaneous generation” theory that life arose spontaneously from mud puddles. The ONLY difference is the amounts of time involved in the two theories ... plus some extra mumbo-jumbo about lightening, cosmic rays and sea water ...
If you believe that, then you should have no problem at all with believing that a Panasonic CF-54 laptop computer with Windows 7 operating system could arise spontaneously if we simply ground such a bunch of laptop into powder along with a bunch of powered DVD of the Windows Operating system and filled a bunch of beakers with those powders, put some sea water in, and then bombarded the laptop soup in the beakers with lightening for a few billion years while shaking the beakers.
Eventually, we might obtain some resisters and capacitors, but then they would evolve into integrated circuit chips, which would eventually EVOLVE all by themselves into laptops (with operating systems) after being bombarded by cosmic rays for a very long time after the first resisters and capacitors appeared.
If organic life formed by accident in a similar scenario, then certainly there should be no problem with obtaining the laptop and operating system in a like fashion, because after all, the laptop and OS are a few thousand trillion times simpler than, say, a single cell of the Homo Sapiens species. In fact, we should obtain the laptop and OS much much faster because they are so much simpler.
catnipman, many thanks for your post. Most interesting. :-)
The thief claimed that he just could not the police station.
Right on.
Romans 1:19
“...since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.”
Regardless of age-of-the-universe and religious views, the basic distinction between Intelligent Design and Naturalism is this:
An intelligence behind the miracle, or no intelligence behind the miracle.
Naturalism presents a “just so” view, where everything is seemingly internally coherent post-miracle. The claim is essentially “Just give us this one miracle and the rest will make sense.”
They simultaneously argue for a non-intelligent, self-existent matter being acted upon by self-existent laws to produce the miracle of the universe and all therein, while mocking the idea of an intelligent, self-existent being to do the same.
Romans 1:23
“Claiming to be wise, they became fools...”
Well said, it’s basically the summary of the book!
In my view the most important ingredient missing from the primordial soup is the single mindedness drive, fight, and will to reproduce and survive at every stage of life’s development.
Inert objects have no such drive.
Pollywogs to polar bears. Chance and Time is to the evolutionists what an omniscient omnipotent God is to the believer.
