I know full well I could understand a theory of evolution as well as I can understand the "law" of gravity: "throw something up, and it will fall down;" but no one can put it like that that.
"Natural selection," "Survival of the fittest?" Yeah, I know what those those purport to mean, but it's the not just the mechanics of it, how is that even observable? Biology is not geology.
My thing has always been, Okay, you grant the evolutionists “life” as in abiogenesis, and they claim you can get all this wild and wondrous stuff because of all the variability inherent in ANY living system.
Fair enough.
The problem comes in when you figure out they’re using the residents of our old friend the periodic table to accomplish all this wizardry, and real chemicals just don’t act the way they say they’d have to unless “someone” is being VERY particular about how they’re allowed to interact.
Next thing you know, every Tom, Dick, and Harry think they’re the new Renaissance Man because they can not conceive how anyone could question the existence of extraterrestrial life with their ONE big data point to go on.
