The odds that life appeared on earth are 1:1.

The odds that life appeared because of random bonding of chemicals in a prebiotic soup: beyond impossible.

And THAT’S how probability works.
No its not.

And invoking god(s)/miracles/magic in an scientific debate is an autoloss.

Their base assumptions are irrelevant .. and your research is way out of date.

Abiogenesis odds get higher every year as more is learned about how incredibly complex even the simplest cell is, so time isn’t helping you refute the facts.

The evolution of autocatalytic sets in molecular replication, (ie: Abiogenesis), is a function of time .. which is supported by evidence of the complexity seen in the simplest cells.

Axe, and yet again you, simply ignore the possibility of sequences building from the most basic of beginings to much larger conglomerations.

I might point out that you have just about lost the argument from the get-go when some comparison is felt needed to be made with grains of sand or number of stars or seconds since time began.

You seem impressed with Very Large Numbers to the extent that anyone pointing out the fallacy that generated them are simply ignored.

So what’s your graduate degree, and list of peer reviewed articles and research you’ve done that qualifies you to claim Axe, and many others are wrong?

1:1 that life appeared.

Zero chance it arrived from random chemicals.
The research does not suggest its random.

If you could write an peer reviewed paper supporting your assertion fame and fortune awaits. If you cant your ”opinion” doesnt matter.

I don't do Link Wars. You either accept that people much better qualified than either of us say that he's wrong (for reasons I have explained to you a few times) or you can continue to ignore it.

That said, if you are really interested then I can point you out to some information that counters what Axe has said. And which neither of us will follow. But then again, maybe you have a phd in molecular biology and you will follow it. But from what you have posted to date I see no evidence of a scientific background.
