Millions of high school and college biology textbooks teach that research scientist Stanley Miller, in the 1950’s, showed how life could have arisen by chance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Miller, in his famous experiment in 1953, showed that individual amino acids (the building blocks of life) could come into existence by chance. But, it’s not enough just to have amino acids. The various amino acids that make-up life must link together in a precise sequence, just like the letters in a sentence, to form functioning protein molecules. If they’re not in the right sequence the protein molecules won’t work. It has never been shown that various amino acids can bind together into a sequence by chance to form protein molecules. Even the simplest cell is made up of many millions of various protein molecules.

Simple question:
Why would a fish that is adapting to a water environment grow legs and walk out on land?
Natural Selection, by definition, would select the legs out of the process because there would be no survival advantage in a water environment.
Nit Pick: It will only tend to survive more than it otherwise would have. There is no guarantee.
Presumably there are steps between the two with an intermediate state that mostly tended to make sense at each step. Anyway, there are tons of people looking for the evidence of fossils to back fill this theory.
“Miller, in his famous experiment in 1953, showed that individual amino acids (the building blocks of life) could come into existence by chance.”
I wonder how controlled the environment was in which he did this.
Nonsense. It is not faith. Its only intellectual presumption. Faith is for things that are trustworthy.
anyone seen God Guts and Guns lately?
AND IT NEVER SHOULD BE! Doubt of the evolutionary origin of life automatically makes one a quack, and any such article should be mocked, marginalized, burned or whatever, but never seriously considered. And for the love of Darwin never ever ever ever presented to students! After all, that would be religious dogma!</satire>
Science be praised.
Hey, I’m a fan of science. I just don’t like pseudo science making itself out to be science.
All hail Darwin (sallallat alayhi wa-sallam)!
Its “Snap You Finger” time again.
South Park episode; “Go God, Go!”
the man made religion of darwinism continues onward toward the ash heap of history, save for daily detours thru lala-land of handwaving and government enforced ‘just-so’ stories...
btt
A more complicated question:
How does one reproductive system evolve into another, as with amphibians to reptiles? Darwin lost not only his cookies but his scientific credentials trying to explain this with the idiotic idea of natural selection.
“Presumably there are steps between the two with an intermediate state that mostly tended to make sense at each step. Anyway, there are tons of people looking for the evidence of fossils to back fill this theory.”
In my wildest imagination I can’t figure out how partial evolution of a leg might produce some kind of survival advantage whereby it would be kept by the selection process because it might be of use to the organism further down the road.
