More "science" from the Institute for Creation Research.

Haven't you figured out yet that when these fundamentalist groups write about science they misrepresent, distort and ignore data, and otherwise lie to make things come out supporting their narrow beliefs?

Check out the ICR's Tenets of Scientific Creationism and tell me how much science you find.

Haven’t you figured out that the reason you hate Creation Scientists so much is because you have embraced the materialist religion of the Temple of Darwin?

Uhhhhh, we’re still waiting for you to show us the religion here:

As a chemist, the most fascinating issue for me revolves around the origin of life. Before life began, there was no biology, only chemistry – and chemistry is the same for all time. What works (or not) today, worked (or not) back in the beginning. So, our ideas about what happened on Earth prior to the emergence of life are eminently testable in the lab. And what we have seen thus far when the reactions are left unguided as they would be in the natural world is not much. Indeed, the decomposition reactions and competing reactions out distance the synthetic reactions by far. It is only when an intelligent agent (such as a scientist or graduate student) intervenes and “tweaks” the reactions conditions “just right” do we see any progress at all, and even then it is still quite limited and very far from where we need to get. Thus, it is the very chemistry that speaks of a need for something more than just time and chance. And whether that be simply a highly specified set of initial conditions (fine-tuning) or some form of continual guidance until life ultimately emerges is still unknown. But what we do know is the random chemical reactions are both woefully insufficient and are often working against the pathways needed to succeed. For these reasons I have serious doubts about whether the current Darwinian paradigm will ever make additional progress in this area.

Or will you just keep parroting your nonsense?

That’s ad-hominem.

Where do you disagree with the claims in the article? And on what factual grounds?

Prove them wrong. Science has never proven evolution. It is a theory. Creation to some is a theory. I believe it because God says it in his Word.

We'll find out which one is right some day.
