" I don't think you have anything resembling a cogent argument"

Your entire argument and debate rests on "my freshman biology teacher says so"?

LOL.

Your lack of comprehension of fundamental science is not my problem.

You lack even a junior high education in critical thinking skills and analytical science. It is not my responsibility to bring your skills up to par in order to participate in an intelligent way.

As for my "jargon", there is nothing pseudo about it. I've led R&D projects succesfully for over 20 years. You had some biology class somewhere? LOL.

You cannot grasp how to begin formulating a theory. Then you expect to hide behind your biology teacher when asked pointed questions?

Next time bring your teacher to the debate. Your teacher will also tell you that current biology does not explain the origins of life (at least not with any more than pure conjecture, acts of faith.)

The sad thing is that your faith is destroyed by simple logic, because no science justifies it.

My faith is strengthened by science because science is the unveiling of Gods creation.

Please be sure to post the names of any publicly traded companies you "led R&D projects" for - I need to make sure they're not in my portfolio anywhere.

In the mean time, I'm sure I can solicit some recommendations for a good freshman-level chemistry text - you need it. Someone who's going to have me bring along a high school teacher to debate you probably ought to start by learning that DNA is made up of four nucleotides, not four amino acids. Without a little more background on your part, I really don't think I need anything so lofty as a biology teacher - you need someone a bit more your speed until you remove the training wheels. Perhaps my six year old daughter will be available to discuss this with you tomorrow.

[From many - one.]

Well, if I were the biology instructor general_re brought to the discussion, I'd put on a purposeful blank look and ask you why you were asking about abiogenesis in the context of biology.
For a scientific answer, I'd suggest you try a biochem prof; for a religious answer, the appropriate clergy and if you insisted that you needed to know the complete origins all the way back before having a discussion in biology I'd (dubiously) send to to your friendly neighborhood cosmologist or a poet.
