"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.

You claimed that a "designer" is an "obvious, default conclusion". You are incorrect. The only default conclusion available when no credible explanation can be constructied based upon available evidence is that the explanation is unknown.
