Maybe the following question would be appropriate:
Given that sugars and methyl isocyanate already exist here on earth and still no scientist that I know of has come up with a natrualistic mechanism for forming life from non-life, how does finding these materials in a distant star system provide any more clues to how life formed than anything that we already know?
Or maybe simply:
Scientists have found a sugar molecule and methyl isocyanate in a distant star system...so what?
Perhaps no atheists wanted to push back as doing so might highlight the lack of any known naturalistic mechanism for forming life from non-life????
C'mon, Minimalist, explain the significance of the finding such that any story whatsoever would be needed from a creationist or anyone else.
Have at it guys!!
Are you one of those god of the gaps people?
My response is that we don't have an answer YET. But I do find it interesting that we find similar substrates on earth and in space. It means that earth was probably not a one off.
I don't need some hoodoovoodooholyguruwoowoo to make me feel comfortable. It's kind of sad that you seem to.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
