[About 3.5 billion years ago, around sub-sea thermal vents.]

You observed this? You must be a lot older than I thought you were.

Can someone explain to me why so many of the anti-evolutioinsts subscribe to the moronic notion that the only way to determine what or how something happened is to personally observe it?

You guys don't even watch or understand "CSI" or any of the other forensics shows, do you? And I guess it must have been impossible to place O.J. Simpson at the crime scene, since all that evidence that he was there that night (DNA, etc.) doesn't count for squat if no one else "observed" him there right?

Haven't actually thought any of this through, have you?

When you get a clue how science actually works, feel free to come back and try again.

Were you active in these threads when I was accusing people of "craterism"? Doesn't matter, you've inspired me to bring back an oldie-goldie ...

The scientific case against Craterism

1. Meteor craters are not observed to be happening now.
2. Meteor craters have not been observed to happen in the past.
3. Thomas Jefferson said: "Gentlemen, I would rather believe that two Yankee professors would lie than believe that stones fall from heaven."
4. The odds against a rock falling from the sky in a random fashion and making a crater are astronomical.
5. The second law of thermodynamics prohibits meteor craters.
6. Meteor craters are not mentioned in the bible, and are thus blasphemy.
7. Meteor craters have never been reproduced in the lab, and are thus not scientific.
8. Belief that rocks can fall from the sky promotes hedonism and animalistic, amoral behavior.
9. Craterism is a product of materialism and a naturalistic worldview.
10. Craterism makes no predictions and is untestable; it is therefore not scientific.
11. Craterists point to evidence of micro-cratering, but have no evidence of macro-cratering.
12. Scientists are abandoning craterism because they know it is not supported by evidence.
