That would seem to say that Life is necessary as a prior condition for Evolution to proceed. Thus, you have just given credibility to the concept that a living Designer is required as a precursor for both Evolution and Life.

It also said your argumentum ad vehiculam doesn't hold water. Yes, there was no evolution until some molecule started replicating itself with imperfect accuracy. Abiogenesis is at best a separate topic and doesn't rescue the creationist strawman sillies that litter this thread. The evidence points to one and only one instance of life coming from non-life on this planet.

"It also said your argumentum ad vehiculam doesn't hold water."

What makes you think that? What did reproduction have to do with the very first life-form-evolving-from-an-inanimate-object, for instance?! Surely you aren't going to claim that inanimate objects reproduce offspring!

I pointed out that vehicles can retain similarities among models over the years. Surely you don't disagree with that fact?!

With the automobiles, we KNOW for a fact that it is the designers who are making the changes, NOT the cars per se themselves.

That's very analagous to how life started and was modified over the ages, whether or not it is the correct explanation is another matter altogether, however.

The car-example simply serves as a rather useful method to get those indoctrinated in psuedo-science (e.g. Evolutionary Theory) to think outside their small boxes.

With the cars, almost anyone can see that an Intelligent Designer is required to make changes to the various car models over the years.

Uumm.....so does the Bible. Don't worry, I won't tell PH that you've become a believer.

BZZZT wrong answer! NO evidence of life originating from non-life. It has NEVER been replicated in a laoratory environment and NEVER benn observed! More of your non-scienfic, non-FACTS.
