The creationists have always asserted the strawman that life had to assemble spontaneously from raw elements to a living cell with full DNA -- all in one instant. This is, of course, ludicrous. What real scientists are doing is establishing pathways from which simple chemicals may have naturally led to more and more complex systems until you had some sort of ability to cause duplications of chemical chains.

As these possible structures are proven to work, the creationists strawman gets more laughable by the minute.

The typcial creationist argument is:

1. Assert that there is an unbridgeable gap between A and Z.
2. Scientists discover N.
3. Assert that there are two unbridgeable gaps, one between A and N and the other between N and Z.
4. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Good algorithm and a fair observation of the creationist arguments.

Eventually, it will be reduce down to an argument that there is an unbridgeable gab between A and A. At that time, they will be forced to switch tactics.
