Evolution theory stumbled when it was extended into explaining creation of complex life from complete randomness. Fifty years of lab experiments have failed to reproduce this article of faith for the scientific secular humanist community, so they now rely on various computer models and new theories to escape having painted themselves into a corner. Some of these new theories are cosmic rays kicking off the process on Earth or comets air dropping in the complex life or aliens bioengineering us or ... on and on.
The problem is, experimental results don’t back them up, probability theory doesn’t back them up, complex systems theory doesn’t back them up, and the laws of thermodynamics don’t back them up. Abstracting the creation of complex life to an external random event (like cosmic rays jumpstarting the liquid jello to create DNA) to start the process just further makes it less probable to happen. If complex life did come from an external source, now you have to believe it could survive transversing through space and somehow survive coming through our atmosphere without burning up. Given all that, the external source of complex life would still have to overcome the same hurdles that complex life starting on Earth does. Just because it supposedly originates from somewhere besides Earth, does not solve the problem of complex life being created from complete randomness. This new comet theory leaves those who want to believe in evolutionary creation theory in worse shape than just sticking with it all starting on planet Earth.
No.
Now go back to playing with your Barbies and leave me alone.
