Amazing!!There are a lot of things scientists haven't found yet. But when scientists have found what was previously attributed to god, Christians lack the sense to take heir feet out of their mouths. Case in point, you still argue that the earth is flat and believe in a book that says god created the grass and trees before he created the sun and moon.
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!!
Maybe it's my own fault for putting in the snarky line: "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????"
How would you have responded if I had left that out?
What if I left that out and was listed as an atheist?
