Evolution, religion, and ignorance.

[Silver]

Randomness just creates more randomness.

Everything is random. It is humans who, disliking the unknown, prefer to assign meaning and order to everything.

You will not accept a single facet of an opposing viewpoint because you are close-minded.

Seems as though you are describing yourself more than us.

Randomness just creates more randomness. It's kind of like watching the TV after all the broadcasters have signed off for the night. You see the TV snow which is just equal amounts of white and black bouncing around all over the screen. You can watch this for all eternity, and you never see one good program. You can increase the size of the screen but the randomness just gets greater. If you see life around here, it's not because of random chance. You belief that through unproven methods of observation. You were told that this method makes sense, so, you believe it. The scientists have had to take a leap of faith in order to assume that we all came about by accident.

That's funny, because that's exactly what we can say about creationists

[Chas]

Still, you fail to grasp the enormity enormous magnitude of the numbers we're dealing with, here.

You wouldn't have had just one single initial self replicating organic compound... you'd get... Avogadro's constant of them.

But you speak of animals... which just says you don't know anything, nor have you given it any honest thought...

Randomness is an interesting topic, but evolution by natural selection is not random.

Except, y'know, chemistry.

[RDK]

When you find a chemical that makes life, let me know. We have been mixing the chemical pot for years without any success on making life. We have torn apart various component parts of living things, and have reformed combinations which are different from anything before, but that is not life. We are changing the portions of parts which were alive into new positions and say we have created life. We can combine but so far we do not create anything from scratch.

Thank you for playing

Missing the point. You've been arguing about the astronomical implausibility of atoms combining in exactly the right way to allow life to happen. Chemical bonds and polymerisation are not at all random. They are the atomic and molecular equivalent of differently shaped pegs only fitting into matching holes. In other words, there are only so many ways for atoms and hence molecules to combine.

What does that have to do with evolution?

Take abiogenesis away, and evolution is still the only demonstratively true theory.

"Dunno, God Musta Dun Did It" is not a theory.

If odds are so far against the chance production of life by accident, why not consider an alternate.

"Invisible being from outside time and space poofed life into existence from dirt with a few magic words and a deep breath" is by no metric an explanation with better odds. Sorry.

You're not supposed to put it that way.

You're supposed to say "goddidit" and leave it at that.
