“So now these Creationists can deliver their verbal broadsides - without ever actually trying to grasp what these critics are really saying (hint: they are still materialists, still proceed from the plausible assumption that only prosaic geo-physical and biochemical mechanisms and processes gave rise to Life).
What these atheists are saying is how Darwinism utterly fails to explain how life began. The one scientist also commented on our newly found understanding of the enormous complexity of the self-regulating systems within the cell that eliminate roughly 99% of DNA mutations before they ever have a chance to manifest themselves.
Must be my 8th grade education talking.
No. Every scientist knows that evolutionary science (which itself has evolved FAR beyond Darwin’s initial theory) has NOTHING to do with how life began. It doesn’t even try. That’s a completely different area of scientific study. It’s like “complaining” that planetary geologists won’t explain stars, of course they won’t, it’s not their field. So anybody saying that isn’t a scientist. And is a liar. And you shouldn’t listen to them.
Strawman Fallacy! Darwinism never purported to explain how Life began.
