Not completely wasted.

You'll think twice before you ask for another citation for something that is basic doctrine, won't you?

Maybe you'll think twice and think, "I realise that she's actually asking for evidence, so maybe I should address that instead of playing silly games."

How is that evidence that random chemicals combined to create life?

Because it shows that the chemicals in question - which include the ones that form the building blocks of our own DNA - can be found almost everywhere in the universe.

It's not my job to second guess you.

Do you even know the difference between a citation and a piece of evidence?

Lol, the existence of chemicals in us doesn't tell us how we were created.
They're the same specific chemical species! They're found on bodies which are physically isolated from Earth. The 'how' is when they fall to earth, are analysed and then found to contain the exact specific set of base chemicals which produce our life functions! The 'how' is inference based on objective test results .. and not on beliefs.

What we know is that we are wonderfully complex creations
That's your personal belief .. and it can be easily shown that:

- it doesn't account for every other human being's beliefs;
- the belief way, doesn't lead to consensus amongst differing beliefs;
- the belief way, ultimately leads to conflict as the only way of resolving them and;
- the victor often pays the price when their particular belief causes their own demise;
- beliefs are therefore a pointless, self-defeating exercise, in a population of 7.9 billion believing, connected humans.

Bad links ... server not found errors.

Only 13 years? It may take generations. What's the hurry?

So because some chemicals exists they must have randomly created life? But of course we can't even do it now in a controlled environment.

It's being worked on, may even succeed. As I asked before, what's your hurry?

That's an amusing parody, but you are wasting your time arguing against it. Nobody will care if you win.

Was this supposed to have some sort of meaning? It rambles and says nothing.

(And "Origin of Life" is the name used for the research in that field as used by the people who do it.)

Peptides and nucleotides aren't just any old random chemicals.
On Earth, they are specifically, directly associated with biology.

Why don't you attempt reading the links and the sub-sections I've been posting instead of expecting others to sort out your own ignorance issues?
It's all Greek to me.

Actually do something about that then, rather than blather on about your completely irrelevant beliefs.
You mean my "completely irrelevant belief" that evolution will wax stronger and stronger, culminating in a time where it will be explained so simply a child can understand it?

A belief is still a belief .. regardless of it being dressed up to appear like science .. and your self-professed attempts at 'cleverness', mean zip also.
