What we see in DNA is the ability to self-scan, self-diagnose and self-repair. In the same way that cells in an embryo differentiate into other cells and migrate into precise locations with specific purposes, as if they have an inbuilt knowledge or intelligent programme that guides them. Such is the case with DNA. There is a massive difference between throwing some chemicals in a petri dish and watching them aggregate, to the kind of intelligent behaviour seen in DNA.(April 5, 2016 at 12:52 am)AJW333 Wrote: It is used as an example of faith. No one ever saw it happen, it can't be reproduced naturally and it cannot be said to be a scientific fact because it fails to meet the necessary criteria. On the other hand, we have independent eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus and his miracles who wrote down their observations and were prepared to die for the truth of what they wrote. Therefore, I would contend that there is more factual evidence for Christ than there is for abiogenesis. As such, I would consider atheists who believe in abiogenesis to be a people of faith.
You never saw 'god' play in the dirt and create "Adam" either so let's dismiss that "no one ever saw it" bullshit right off the bat.
Try to understand what is being said here.

Quote:Scientists today generally agree that DNA is the result of life on Earth, rather than its origin. But many molecular biologists are embracing the intruiging possibility, and strong evidence that the first life on Earth involved chemical multitasking by another key life molecule, ribonucleic acid or RNA. Molecular subunits of RNA have been found in alien carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, or could have formed through chemical reactions in the early Earth's oceans or primordial atmosphere leading to the exciting new theory that RNA is our earliest molecular ancestor.
