The Socratic Method is an amazingly practical way of exposing pretentious poodlectuals, like you.
So let's see if I understand your attitude:
And all those arrogant insults are your method for defending what idea, exactly, relating to this thread?
IOW, are you here to explain how the true "odds of evolution" are greater than zero, or not, and why?
Here is far more on the 2nd law of thermodynamics than I ever cared to learn.
"Complexification" can result -- when an energy source (i.e., the Sun) whose increasing entropy allows entropy to decrease (i.e., on Earth) via certain chemical reactions.
Of course, you know all that, but have chosen to weaponize it as a blunt instrument to insult me and avoid making your own serious argument.
Why is that?
But you've used no "Socratic Method" -- none, zero, nada -- at best you've used a sarcastic method, but what it's really: a stochastic method for randomly selecting insults so you can avoid like the plague making any valid points of your own.
Seriously, why do you do that?
Evidently you find questions you can’t answer to be oppressive and insulting.
Why is that Professor Poodle?
>>an article which has no relevance to this thread.
An article on a practical methodology for demonstrating
abiogenesis has no relevance to the odds of the process of natural selection in evolution.
Lol. Maybe in BroJoe land. Here in reality land a paper like that, or the inability to produce one, is quite relevant.
Seriously, why do you do that?
============================
In fact, Socrates himself thought that questioning was the only defensible form of teaching.
In teaching, teachers can use Socratic questioning for at least two purposes:
To deeply probe student thinking, to help students begin to distinguish what they know or understand from what they do not know or understand (and to help them develop intellectual humility in the process).
To foster students' abilities to ask Socratic questions, to help students acquire the powerful tools of Socratic dialogue, so that they can use these tools in everyday life (in questioning themselves and others). To this end, teachers can model the questioning strategies they want students to emulate and employ. Moreover, teachers need to directly teach students how to construct and ask deep questions. Beyond that, students need practice to improve their questioning abilities.

Seriously, how's that humility thing coming along Professor Poodledorf?
I would have thought (like an “E” here) that this thread would have gone extinct by now, due to lack of diversity in it’s DNA: so few posters and repliers.
Oh the shark has
Pretty teeth dear...

What did they eat in the summer before the fall?
No, I never feel "oppresed", but all of your posts are deliberately insulting, which puts the lie to any possibility of your using a "Socratic method ".
Your methods are far from "Socratic", instead merely insulting.
So you have fantacised & weaponized a paper which might explain something about abiogenisis, then used your fantasy paper as a blunt instrument to insult me, all in the name of Socrates??
My, aren't you, well... special?
SMH.
The odds of you learning anything from the process of discovering whether or not such a paper exists are evidently zero.
But, despite your unbridled ego & arrogance, you are no Socrates, not even a decent teacher.
Your only realy talent is insults, which is doubtless why you exercise it so often.
So what you here pretend is your "Socratic method " is, in fact, nothing of real value.
That's why you would do much better by simply stating your opinions reasonably, then responding to questions or challenges as they arise, FRiend.
Leave out the insults, they don't enhance your case.
😂
But I don't care if your fantasy exists or not, because it's irrelevant to the question of "odds".
Indeed, "odds" themselves are irrelevant to the question of what & how life first appeared on Earth.
What matters instead is a form of Murphy's law: if it can happen, eventually it will.
I asked very a reasonable Socratic question:
HLPhat: "Why would a process culminating in abiogenesis not necessarily violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics?"
To which you inanely replied:
"I'll ask again: why do you hide behind a cloak of stupidity"

BroJoeK to HLPhat
Was Socrates "hiding behind a cloak of stupidity", Professor Poodledorf?
Well lets see what kind of a teacher you are, Bro!
Please explain to Bob why the process of Evolution through Natural Selection doesnt necessarily violate the 2nd law of Thermodynamics.
necessarily ???
