They are putting money on the line for a plausible mechanism that you are already completely sure exists. Interesting.

You do not address my central point. I am not completely sure it exists, but I am completely sure that, at our current state of knowledge, it is at least as plausable as the whopped-up-from-organic-tar theories Behe and Dembski attempt to claim the universe is confined to. Please note that they have no claim on the prize, either.

Thank you so much for your post!

I have not read - nor even looked for the existence of - a biogenesis theory authored by Behe or Dembski. And Yockey's work is a falsification of abiogenesis, he does not offer an alternative and instead says that life should be taken as an axiom. Rocha is working on an abiogenesis theory with eyes wide open to the obstacles of which there are many.

IMHO, at this state of the art, it takes faith to say either one: that God created life or that life arose naturally from non-life.
