You have to understand you are dealing with a group that holds out as their leaders or philosophers etc., as Darwin, Heinlein, Sagan, Dawkins and so on.

What can you expect? I mean their biggest claim to fame is man descended from some sort of unseen unknown ape ancestor, that in turn descended from some other unknown ancestor ad infinitum all the way down to the basic chemicals and somehow the chemicals all got together and decided they were all going to arrange themselves and to continue to arrange themselves into more and more improbable compounds. But the evos don't have anything to say about that, depending on who you talk to there.

They take glee in insisting this LOLOL. It is not like you are up against a bunch of heavyweights here. You might actually need those pints of Guinness to make them tolerable LOLOL

There have been more than 130 different chemical compounds discovered in deep space.

Some of them are necessary precursors to life ~ stuff happens it turns out.

The scientific method will not enable you to hold exact opinions on matters in which you lack sufficient data, but it can keep you from being certain of your opinions and make you aware of the value of your data, and to reserve your judgment until you have amplified your data.

Robert A. Heinlein to John W. Campbell, in a letter dated 04 January 1942, reprinted in Grumbles From The Grave, pg. 33


Belief gets in the way of learning.

Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973

Got a problem with any of this?
