Do wings on a bird have a purpose? Fins on a fish? Eyes? Fingers? Lungs? The answer to these questions is obviously ‘yes’. So how do you explain purpose without ‘intent’ and how do explain intent without ‘intelligence’? How did that first cell ‘accidently’ climbing out of the primordial soup come up with the notion of reproducing itself? Apparently it must have been one stout organism to survive the intense heat. Funny that no living organism today could withstand the proposed heat of that ancient cauldron. That original lifeform must not have passed that characteristic on to it’s evolutionary offspring.

The claim was that it was empirically verified. That means it has been demonstrated by some empirical measurement, and I asked what the metrics are that were used to verify it.

Do you wish to answer the question that was asked, and supply those metrics?

Huh?

Why is it liberals continue to demand all these rules be met that they don’t intend to keep themselves?

Peer review...then “measurable, replicable”, etc. but when it’s pointed out no other theory like multiverse theory or string theory be required to meet these standards, we see endless excuse-making and hand waving and back-peddaling.

And now we see demands for...

“empirically verified” and “metrics” ???

Where are the...ummmm “empirically verified metrics” for life oozing out of muck all by itself? Let alone all life supposedly coming from this single-celled first organism into all the complex life-forms we know today.
