there are obvious differences between Darwinian theory and auto and computer technology. Most important, the latter make no claims to answering ultimate questions, like how life originated

Neither Darwinian theory nor auto mechanics makes any claim to answer the question of how life originates.

Here's a tip: When you're trying to cover up someone's stupidity, you're supposed to, well, cover it up. That means that when you quote him, you leave out the parts where he makes bonehead errors.

Dear steve-b,

Yes, the author spoke colloquially.

It would have been more precise if he'd have said,

“Most important, the latter make no claims to answering ultimate questions, like how HUMAN life originated”

or even better,

“Most important, the latter make no claims to answering ultimate questions, like FROM WHERE HUMAN life originated”

Too bad you're unable to address his actual arguments.
