I wish I could have that of faith.

No one is asking anyone to have "faith" here. The article demonstrates that certain organic compounds (basic building blocks of life) can arise spontaneously under the right circumstances. There's several links still missing to make a complete picture of abiogenesis, scientists will readily admit that. Abiogenesis is not as complete a theory as biological evolution, which has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. However, there are a lot of pieces of the picture that have come together.

This doesn't mean we should stop looking for reasons, though. That is what science is all about.

"Looking for reason"? Reason would suggest there's more than a small step between finding the letters of the aphabet lying around, and finding that the Encyclopedia Britannica had assembled itself from those basic elements. That, in a nutshell, is what Information Theory, and the ID vs. Evoluition debate, is all about.

To believe even the basic biomechanics of a cell happened by chance does, indeed, take extraordinary faith, much moreso the assembly of cells into patterns and higher life forms. Just as it takes faith that it all happened by accident, it takes blind faith to believe that "science" will some day find how that Grand Accident occured, and faith that it wasn't designed, despite appearances.

I realize some "scientific" minds hate to be accused of having faith, as they associate common connotations of the word with emotion rather than evidence. So let's call it what it is as practiced by evolutionists: blind trust in Something as yet undiscovered and undefined. At least Anthony Few was honest enough to see that much.

Sorry, but it DEMONSTRATES nothing.

It just CLAIMS that it does.

If this be Science: replicate it!
