Don't you KNOW that the amino acid soup just started to align itself into new and wonderful things - and here we are!!!

It is worse than that. Chemistry has a habit of producing compounds that are not desired. That is the reason specific reagents, conditions, and reaction times are required in chemical syntheses for specific compounds. Now imagine what a chemical "soup" would contain, certainly nothing desirable for the formation of polymeric amino acid compounds. IOW, you don't even get the soup you need in order to make proteins.

Oh no, the dreaded "undesired compound"...

Yes, if one wants to produce a PURE batch of a pre-chosen product. This, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the sort of biology under discussion, which would involve a *mix* of many various compounds. Red herring, anyone? It seems to be spawning season for that variety of fish today.

Thanks, but I prefer to actually follow the evidence and the laws of chemistry in order to determine that, not just do like the anti-evolutionists who draw "conclusions" based on their limited and biased "imaginations".

Oh look, here comes an "imaginary" conclusion now:

certainly nothing desirable for the formation of polymeric amino acid compounds.

Oh, yes "certainly"... Because your "imagination" produces "certain", undeniable, provable results. Got it.

IOW, you don't even get the soup you need in order to make proteins.

In your "imagination" you don't, anyway.

(Could someone explain to me why the anti-evolutionists seem to rely on their own fantasies so often, instead of actual evidence and experiments and so on? Or is the answer as simple as the fact that if they were wont to actually *learn* about the subject, they would not long remain anti-evolutionists, and would join the 99+% of biologists who know that evolution is strongly supported by the mountains of evidence and countless experiments?)
