How can anyone possibly disprove the idea that the first living cell fell together at random at some time in the distant past? To do so, one would need to know the precise molecular arrangement of the entire earth for the past few billion years.

Just like I said. You set your own unattainable standard of acceptable evidence for one idea, but your own absurdly low bar for ideas that suit you.

Biologists who spend their careers researching such matters are satisfied that they have realistic approaches to studying abiogenesis. Along you come and declare it all invalid even though it does not appear (from the info your page) that you are trained in this field or work in it. Then you throw in that I am a pedant.

If nothing else, you are entertaining. Shall I say LOL?

VaLID endeavor, yet, abiogenesis has never bene shown to be a reproducable process, and infact hte evidence shows that it is biologically impossible- noone is ‘interpreting’ anything- the biological evidence is clear. Abiogensis scientists only have their a priori assumptions about a process, and an a priori belief that everythiugn must be able to be explained within scientific means- they have dedicated htemselves to a religious hypothesis that is NON objective and which won’t even concider any other explanation- this is dogma- not science. The A priori beleif that everythign must have a scientific explanation, must follow ‘natural laws’, and must never be allowed a supernatural intervention at any point, is dogma- plain and simple

Let me ask this- IF a person were to have supernatural abilities, and that person created- oh- say a new species KIND which has never been witnessed before, and a scientist goes into the examination with an A priori belief that everyhtign MUST have a natural explanation, that it MUST have followed natural laws, and that NOTHING could have happened supernaturally, is that scientist being objective? If they won’t even allow a supernatural explanation despite evidence that shows a high probability of a supernatural event (the creation of a new species KIND by our super person), then is that scientist practicing a TRUE science and objective investigation? Of course not! They have gone into the examination with a pre-set, a priori beleif, and they are then determined to ignore any evidence which shows a high probability!

A scientist ignoring evoidence for an intelligent causation, and insists that there MUST be a ntaural causation, and who maligns any other position who opposes a natural explanation, is NOT practicing science, but rather a religious dogmatic BELIEF that is inconsistent with the scientific facts and evidneces.
