>>They totally omit major portions of research currently underway with in biochemistry, chemistry, and biology, that show a variety of potential pathways to the emergence of proto-life. <<

Research is not proof. Evos insist it is. They think the more "research", the more proof. Yet what are they really trying to prove? How life came about from non-life.

They are trying to explain how an orderly system spring from nothing. More importantly, how a self-sustaining system, full of complex codependent components came about on a bare planet.

Of course, most of this "research" is devoted to explaining how, once the problem-we-cannot-talk-about is solved and assumed to be so naturally trivial we expect to see it occurring on every space rock we can see, life moves from the less-complex to the more-complex, like heat moving by itself from cold to hot and rocks rolling uphill.

And the evos complain that advocates of Intelligent Design are bringing "religion" into science! ROFL

a bare planet...

Hardly an apt description of the cooling earth, churning with all kinds of complex molecules, bubbling with volcanic activity, rained on by fires and meteors from the sky.

It was a very busy place.
