How is it that the blueprint for life is built into the mathematics of the tiniest subatomic particle.

Atoms are essentially an erector set for life. Assemble them together correctly and you have life.

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 14:1).

The inconvenient lie is that if there is no God, then there can be no judgment — so, “there is no God.”

Mutations through natural selection is called adaptation. It is not evolution

Hey WaPo, mere journalists mentioning math and analysis?

I’m not even close to defending the Creationists - but good grief, we STEM types have a phrase: “What do you call our F students? Journalists.”

Please do something within your meager capabilities - like writing about low-IQ entertainers, “liking” idiots on Facebook and giving us humorous idiocies on Twitter.

The probability that life arose from a stochastic process is almost zero.

Yet, every time scientists think that have it all figured out and there is nothing more to know, they are reminded that they don’t and nature gets even more abstract. Question: will scientists ever know enough to conclusively rule out a deity, a creator? The answer is absolutely no.

Remove intelligent design and replace it with “climate change”, creationism with “global warming”...

The author is apparently not just a "mere journalist":
Jerry A. Coyne is a professor emeritus in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. He is the author of “Why Evolution is True” and “Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible.”

There is more complexity in life forms than mankind has the intelligence to duplicate.

A bacterial flagellum is a motorized system the size of a virus with more power than a NASCAR engine. There are no examples of such complexity being a result of anything but intelligence.

Stop posting left-wing propaganda here.

True. But then, life springing from those parts by themselves has proven tricky.

Nor is there a single mutation that provides evidence one species can evolve into another.

Evolution is nothing more than fraud.

Most of the major “discovieries” related to proving mans evolution have been later on proven or discovered to be fraud. Often because such ‘scientists’ grants for money were running out.

Pig bones, gorilla bones, bones omitted, bones modifed and carved, from one bone an entire skeleton is ‘derived’. Flawed dating methods.

"So begins The Origin of Species, whose title and first paragraph imply that Darwin will have much to say about speciation. Yet his magnum opus remains largely silent on the "mystery of mysteries," and the little it does say about this mystery is seen by most modern evolutionists as muddled or wrong."

From the introduction to Speciation by Jerry A. Coyne and H. Allen Orr

But life assembles itself just fine.

That’s built into the blueprint too.

Isn’t it amazing how something as fantastically complex as that is just an accident?

That’s why the universe is replete with life forms.
