I have made no such admission. I, in fact, presented an entire scenerio in which I explicitly claimed that it required no miraculous intervention by either the Gods of probability, or the God of Moses.

You can claim all you like but you have not backed it up in any way. I have asked for an example of a hypothesis which fits the scientifically known facts about living things showing how abiogenesis might be possible and have received no such example (in fact there is a million+ dollar prize for anyone who does just that). This is the slimest kind of scientific proof possible, which does not require any evidence, and materialists cannot even provide that. I think that that makes my statement that abiogenesis is scientifically impossible quite legitimate. Further, your statement below admits to as much:

What gibberish. A contest prize is NOT an example of science in action. Quite obviously contrary to your representation here, I have offered you an hypothesis reaching all the way back to lipid-world, that does not require the leap from amino acid junk, and quite obviously, despite your repeated simple-minded attempts to imply it, an instantaneous leap from amino acid junk is NOT a requirement of the hypothesis I've offered up.

I am not required to win a contest prize, or even qualify as an entrant, in order for this the be an hypothesis. An hypothesis, I might add, that stands on exactly the same evidence as the amino acid junk hypothesis, and with the same scientific standing, which is to say, not much.

Yup, I guess no scientists want to make an easy million bucks by writing up a hypothesis for abiogenesis. Tell me another joke.
