It launches out like a floating brick and has sunk into bottomless “guessed probability” and its cousin certain impossibility. Let me suggest this design; your very own basic "self replicating molecule" with a shape that represents an obvious symbol of a very large and worldwide belief system; when stretched out, of course. > the Laminin Molecule< : just google it and let me know what you think.Erm, and why exactly is abiogenesis worthy of a "warning". It's a scientific theory that has made valid predictions and has had many aspects confirmed by experiments. Why don't you actually respond to my point rather than dismiss it without even knowing what it entails.
As for Laminim, yeah I saw that video too. The problem with this "design" is that it is so amazingly simple. I mean, think about it for more than 5 seconds. Your religious symbol is two straight lines that intersect each other, hardly very complex. Secondly, the Laminim molecule isn't a very good example of a cross in the first place. Sometimes the ends curve round and connect to each other, forming a loop. Most of the time it is never in the shape of a 2D cross (which is why you said "when stretched out"). If you really think this is evidence for your creator, why exactly do we need to modify the shape to see it? Another thing, given the simplicity of the shape (and the fact that many molecules share the shape), why don't we have molecules spelling out "God exists" or "Jesus is Lord" in our body?
Be more open-minded in future, and try a half-decent response next time. Nobody with any good scientific background seriously doubts abiogenesis or evolution, and the few scientists who do are either ignorant of the field or have religious presuppositions that prevent them from agreeing with science.
