You are using the quote to criticize the Neo-Darwin ToE. Dr. Laughlin's uses the quote to criticize people who abuse ToE. There is a significant difference.
Am I only allowed to criticize the ToE if I am not supporting ID?!
Certainly. Since you are citicizing the ToE do you have an alternative explaination for life that does not derive from ToE?
“Since you are citicizing the ToE do you have an alternative explaination for life that does not derive from ToE?”
Your question seems to imply that I have no right to dump on the ToE without offering a specific alternative. That’s comparable to a prosecutor claiming that a defendent cannot be exonerated until another suspect is available. And it’s typical of people who don’t understand basic scientific principles. I’m not saying you are necessarily one of them, but you are skirting very close with questions like that.
