That’s like saying that a coin toss is not random because it follows the laws of gravity. Or that shuffling a deck and drawing cards is not random because the shuffling takes place according to the laws of physics. Random does not mean it follows no laws. Abiogenesis is random. There is a random...
I know. Different Christian schools of thought spend so much time attacking. Each other. Have you seen the debates between catholic and protestants? They can get so nasty.
Oh, right. Nevermind, I missread that. I was thinking just hydrogen and oxygen.
How Many Possible Combinations of Proteins Are Possible With 20 Different Amino Acids?
No because it is almost they only way they can combine. In addition to the far less common hydrogen peroxide.
Aminoacids on the other hand, can combine into millions of possible theoretical different ways, only a minuscule fraction of which is suitable for life. Life only uses so called...
Jainism.
Except that is not the argument. The argument is not "science cannot explain this, therefore it was designed". The argument is "this matches what we know about design, therefore it could have been designed"
There are hundresds of people who claim to have had divine experiences, contact with spiritual beings, etc. What do you make of it? Do you believe they are all hallucinations and/or lies?
According to that logic, nothing is random. If I flip a coin, I don't get tails or heads randomly, since the coin flip follows the laws of gravity. Same if I roll a dice. If I shuffle a deck and draw ten "random" cards, that process is not really random because the shuffling follows the laws of...
Given the exponential rate of technological advance, super advanced aliens would NOT have a limited ability to explore, and they could have found us easily.
Then please explain. How is abiogenesis (simple organic chemicals supposedly assemblying themselves into an much more complex living form...
Actually it is the opposite. The fact that we don't see life in other planets is evidence AGAINST abiogenesis. If intelligent life could appear and evolve randomly, it should have appeared in any of the millions and millions of planets in the universe. The galaxy should be full with life everywhere.
No. Imagine if God spoke directly with everyone on earth. Humans would ask God's approval for every single decision and would remain perpetual children, unable to decide anything on their own.
"Godm what should I study? God, does this dress makes me look fat, God, is it true that you kill a...
Aminoacids are not alive
But even the most simple form of life requires thousands of these components assembled in a very specific way. The odds that these components randomly assemble themselves into something resembling life are minuscule.
The smallest independent life likely needs at least...
The most basic known form of life is bacteria.
Aminoacids
As very improbable. Even the most simple cell contains many aminoacids assembled in an specific arrangement, The odds of even the most simple form of life randomly assembling itself is practically zero.
Life is characterized by...
Still. Basic logic dictates that something can't come out of nothing. It is impossible.
It is a perfectly good explanation, and the most basic one to the origin of the universe.
It is not. A ton of it is pure speculation. There are lots of problems with it.
Because of the insane complexity...
