Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Denial is the only strategy left for him and his sort.It shouldn't go unnoticed that just about every claim made (to me) by @chad kincham, over the last several pages of this thread, has been demonstrated objectively, (by linking to peer reviewed journal materials), as being completely and utterly false!
You are more than justified in saying his basis of argument is pure belief .. (as I predict he will continue to demonstrate, by showing no logic or objective science basis for his claims).
How? You don't even know what life is.We probably would. Of course we do not have the same environment that existed when life arose. Life itself will consume the precursors to life. The existence of life makes new life very hard if not impossible to rise again.
There is scientific evidence for abiogenesis. Those opposing it cannot seem to find any scientific evidence for their beliefs. They cannot even formally state those beliefs.
For @chad kincham's consideration (I know .. here come the optimistic icons ..):
'A belief is that which I hold to be true out of preference that does not follow from objective tests and is not beholden to the rules of logic'.
ETA: What gets me here is that his beliefs have blinded him so much as to produce an almost perfect 'false' count on just about all of his claims thus far!
Maybe Tour is driven to blindness in the same way(?) .. as Hurd claims.

Your personal incredulity makes no difference.The irony of your statement is incredible.
No, amino acids are not a DNA precursor.
DNA is complex information encoded in a biological programming language, and amino acids build protein chains.
There is no mechanism in nature that can write information in a four letter biological programming code.
Scientist Francis Collins who headed the human genome project, wrote a book called The Signature of God about DNA and the fact that it requires intelligence from a mind to write DNA - and many others acknowledge that DNA is a four letter biological programming code, just as computer programming language is a two letter (binary) code that requires a programmer.
The fact that life only comes from life precludes the abiogenesis fairy from magically causing organic chemicals to come to life.
Abiogenesis remains completely unproven, in any possible prebiotic scenario - where there’s no one in a white lab coat to use purified chemicals and stop reactions they get before they continue and polymerize and become useless, etc.
Miss the forest for the trees. The Miller-Urey experiment alone kick-started an entirely new field of study: Prebiotic Chemistry as well as spurring new research into RNA and DNA.Still very laughable and irrelevant, and a perfect example of the baloney foisted upon the public.
They may appear minor to you but what it is teaching us about cells is massive. The research has relevance for enzyme therapy, gene therapy, drug release and delivery. hemoperfusion and many othersThey created no living cell. The took a living cell with its membrane and endless related components that no one can make, and without which a cell couldn’t exist, and replaced the biological programming code that is the operating system for the cell, and wrote a segment of DNA which they inserted into the cell.
Your analogy is based superficial comparisons.That’s like me learning to write computer programming language, and replacing Windows 10 with a different operating system, then bragging I created a computer.
I couldn’t possibly make a mid tower case, power supply, motherboard, hard drive, sound card, video card, etc, of my own from scratch - and they can’t even come close to producing a living cell, they merely hijacked a living cell and reprogrammed a segment of DNA code.
See: Argument from incredulityOnce again, Professor James Tour explains in detail how complex the simplest cell is, and why no one can build one from scratch.
Why am I not surprised.Okay ... I watched the first 2 minutes of this.
Yes. You tend to reject the truth in favour of fantasy.Your attempts to make this issue with the Abrahamic Covenant (Israel being in her "promised land") a racial thing with the Palestinians [sic] is not cutting it with me, Dan.
Tell that to the settlers in PalestineThere is one race on the earth: the human race.
... which it does not.Or, as the Bible calls us: mankind.
... which they are not.This means that, whether it was the Mongoloids, Negroids, or Caucasoids that are demanding Israel's land for peace ... it doesn't matter.
Thats nice.The aforementioned Halloween Monster didn't care.
Dan, I have now watched your video in its entirety.
I'd like to clarify again that my issues are not race-related at all.
My issues here are with anti-Biblical science: science that does not comport to a literal translation of the Bible.
You can call me "antiscience" or a "science hater" or whatever else you can think of; but to do so, you have to deny my heuristics:
1. Bible says x, Science says x = go with x
2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x
3. Bible says x, Science says ø = go with x
4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own
Prime Directive: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the Bible to be contradicted.
When people scoff at my directives, which they would have to do, then I don't really take their accusations against me seriously.
See: Argument from incredulityAnd there’s only several million more steps required to build a living cell. Gee, they’re so close!

Some people see the glass as half fill others wear creationists' blinders that block them from seeing the glass at all.That experiment proved nothing.
The main substance that developed was tar, and there had to be a trap/filter in it to capture and separate out the elements they wanted to get, then had to remove them quickly before they deteriorated.
There’s no mechanism for abiogenesis in any primordial earth scenario.
Not much of a scientist are you. They demonstrated something that had not been seen before. A scientist would ask, where do we go from here with this new information.That experiment proved nothing.

Urey's in aitch.“Life is not a miracle,” Urey said.
Yet another bogus claim:There’s no mechanism for abiogenesis in any primordial earth scenario.
Autocatalytic sets also have the ability to replicate themselves if they are split apart into two physically separated spaces. Computer models illustrate that split autocatalytic sets will reproduce all of the reactions of the original set in each half, much like cellular mitosis. In effect, using the principles of autocatalysis, a small metabolism can replicate itself with very little high level organization. This property is why autocatalysis is a contender as the foundational mechanism for complex evolution.
