"And "it just happened, randomnly" is much more sufficient...."

Random stuff happens every second of every day. How often do supernatural agents create worlds?

For that matter, why shouldn't other creation myths be considered equally valid? Maybe we should be looking for evidence that the universe was pooped out by a giant frog or a flat dish perched on the back of a giant turtle?

Reject Reason and ALL kinds of dopey ideas become equally valid. That's why Feminists dumped it a decade ago...they HAD to!

You are making the logical error of seein a result and automatically assuming that BECAUSE OF the result you observe, then the assumption you made in the first place MUST be true. Correlation does not mean causation. The fact that everyone born in 1800 is dead does not mean that air is poisonous to humans after prolonged exposure.

The chances of 200 amino acids just happening to get together in a way that could be considered life is 1 in 200! (read 200 factoral) and is calculated by multiplying 1 times 2 times 3 ... times 199 times 200. Yse your Windows calculator to verify the result. It is 1 chance in 7.886578e+374 (374 zeros after the decimal). And we know that to form even the most simple lifeform requires a much longer chain of amino acids and protiens. Any mathmetician will tell you that this chance is the equivalent of zero.
