Is atheism a scientific perspective?

[Chas]

The algorithm of imperfect replication and differential reproduction leads inexorably to evolution; it can go nowhere else.
Small changes accumulate and there is no limit to change that accumulation.


So you cannot claim that there hasn't been sufficient opportunity.

The problem with these algorithms is that the desired sequences (the ones that represent functionality and therefore evolution) are input beforehand by the people writing the algorithm. Without putting the desired sequences first, the simulation will not no what sequences to select for. If you do put them first, then you are no longer accurately simulating evolution, because it does not have that type of forward looking memory. 

You misunderstand. I am not talking about simulations, I am referring to the algorithm that underlies evolution: imperfect replication and differential reproductive success.

And I don't think I claimed that there hasn't been sufficient time, but I did claim that we do not know enough to assume that there was.

You claimed that we can't know if there was - I am merely pointing out that you therefor can't claim there wasn't.
