You brought religion into this

Are you kidding me? For like...the fourth time now, @Yukon_Jack:
How did god design and create DNA? How many times are you going to avoid a direct question about your own damn argument?
How? Seriously you’re asking me how?
Do I have that much insight to the supernatural ?
I can tell you that abiogenesis ain’t possible so where does that leave you?
Oh and about those fruit flies you dare not touch?

So, if you don’t accept evolution by natural selection as the best explanation for the diversity of life on earth, which can be easily inferred from the content of your posts on the subject, then it is perfectly reasonable for me or anyone else to also infer that you have an alternative explanation in mind; one that you must think fits the facts better than evolution. That you prefer not to foster a positive case for your belief to a forum full of atheists (I don’t blame you; you’d get hammered) only demonstrates your lack of confidence in the merits of any such argument. Very telling. If you wish people to stop making inferences about whether or not you believe god is responsible for the diversity of life on earth, then tell the truth. I see you skipped over my question to you about the horseshoe crab.
I don't mind you making inferences, just don't use those inferences as strawman. The processes of evolution aren't even at odds with Christianity, since creation is concerned with origins, not what happens after; evolution is concerned with what happens after, not origins. Strawmen are tempting and easy to make, that's why its important to recognize when one is making them.
So all of this whining about evolution is an irrelevant diversion? Your actual point is abiogenesis? And you lied about it? And Yukon Jack is wrong?
How very very christian.

The irony of you telling people they don't have insight into something
Quote:I can tell you that abiogenesis ain’t possible so where does that leave you?
No you can assert badly that it isn't .Then deploy a fallacy to push an alternative

Ignoring your ignorance of Lenski's work is valid

That's not a personal belief; irrespective of anyone's opinion of the bible, it attempts to explain imperfection. But I agree however, that responding to my comments on the bible when the bible was being discussed, is not a strawman.
Nope, we simply said that DNA is too flawed to be designed and then you initiated Bible talk and Eden.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Designed doesn't necessarily imply perfect.

Designed doesn't necessarily imply perfect. There is no reason it shouldn't be perfect if it's a product of god

That there is no reason is irrelevant, a perfect God can create an imperfect product, there is no logical problem about it.

That there is no reason is irrelevant, a perfect God can create an imperfect product, there is no logical problem about it. Actually it is relevant .Just because you don't want to address it doesn't make not so .
