To which you responded, "What evidence have you for such an entity?" The entire of the post at #185 is evidence that chance did not bring life into being, thus the necessity for a designer of some sort is the obvious default conclusion.

Even if the arguments in post #185 are valid, they could only logically lead to the conclusion that there exists insufficient information to answer specific questions in the field of biology. That alone does not demonstrate the existence of a "designer", divine or otherwise. You must supply positive evidence of design or of a designer to support your claim.

"Even if the arguments in post #185 are valid, they could only logically lead to the conclusion that there exists insufficient information to answer specific questions in the field of biology. [Precisely why the impossibility of one explanation ought be cause to abandon abiogenesis in favor of some other explanation. But what other?] That alone does not demonstrate the existence of a "designer", divine or otherwise. You must supply positive evidence of design or of a designer to support your claim." ... Why must I provide evidence? I was only addressing the impossibility of abiogenesis as defined. I personally choose to believe there is therefore a designer. You believe whatever you choose, but abiogenesis is out as a viable explanation due to the overwhelming statistical improbability ... that's why I asserted designer for the advent of life as the default conclusion.
