Headlines generated by Origin of Life researchers are misleading. In Part 1, we look at how scientists have redefined “life” so they can search for solutions to much simpler problems. In Part 2, we consider some of the reasons Origins research has achieved so little success over the past 70 years.

Discussion questions are here.

Example of a study question:


  1. According to Harvard chemist, George Whitesides: Most chemists believe, as I do, that life emerged spontaneously from mixtures of molecules in the prebiotic earth. How? I have no idea.”

If you believe in something you don’t know much about, isn’t that “blind faith”? What is the difference between blind and informed faith? What informs your faith in God?


Here’s Part 5 1: Palmer Study Course on intelligent design: Part 5 Origin of Life Part I Headlines generated by Origin of Life researchers are misleading. In Part 1, we look at how scientists have redefined “life” so they can search for solutions to much simpler problems.

Like i said in my other posts, Darwinists are the most religious people on this planet... But their religion sounds pretty absurd ... They know, that inside a cell, thousands if not millions of parts working together in a concert for a purpose (for many purposes - material transport, energy production, proofreading/repair, signaling, damage sensing, protein folding, replication, transcription, etc etc etc ) ... Despite this fact, these guys still BELIEVE, that when they mix up, heating up, cooling down some chemicals and wait a little - suddenly thousands of molecules start working together for a purpose ... HOW ABSURD IT IS ??? THIS IS THE MOST ABSURD IDEA I CAN IMAGINE ..... perhaps a 5 y. old child can think like that, but an adult well educated person ??? What is wrong with these people ??? AND THEY CALL THEMSELVES SCIENTISTS ????martin_r
