Doesn't lack of hard evidence make any theory softer? And does being make softer often result in defaulting to being dogmatic, to compensate? Why is this current theory treated as dogma, while being soft on original claim evidence? This does not add up to the philosophy of science, but rather some form of political-religious dual standard.
On the other hand, even if we cannot show direct evidence, if a theory is sound enough, it should offer us a way to simulate this needed evidence in a lab. But that current theory fails there also, meaning the current theory has even deeper conceptual flaws.
This is not a question of Creationism verses Evolution, but a flawed Evolutionary theory that needs a major science update. Half baked theory needs to be placed in its proper perspective, or else the needed changes will be avoided by instituting a religious dogma that is not allowed to change.
Water has all the tricks needed to be central to a genuine model for life. The water and oil effect, alone, allows water to manhandle all large organic molecules, like DNA and protein, until they assume their needed water friendly shapes. Water is uniquely designed for the tasks of life. If we dehydrate bacteria all life ends. If add any other solvent it remain dead. If we add water life returns. We can take apart any cell, and as long as there is water, the organics pieces can be examined in their alive state. Take away water or add another solvent all bets are off.
Water can form four hydrogen bonds and each hydrogen bond is like a binary switch, that can move information. How do you think cells stay and act integrated? It is because the main leader; water, has its finger in every pie; folding and packing, and water can also self organize, thereby integrating all the pies that its fingers touch. If we take away water, not only does the integration of life stop, but also all the pies stop. Water offer a way to model life and evolution in one variable, that implies all the organic variables. Back box falls very short of a 3-D water model.
