The Creationist Method

Maybe you're misunderstanding the word "spontaneous". As used by chemists, it means that the reaction will proceed by itself if all the materials are there and the conditions are right.It doesn't matter whether the materials were placed there intelligently or stupidly. It doesn't require anybody in a lab coat to nudge the molecules together with tweezers.It's just a matter of the right things being together in the right place at the right time.

Actually, if I am numbering them correctly, video six does not address this issue at all. The problem I am having is YouTube issuing a "This video is no longer available" message. Um, duh(?) What do you think spontaneous means in biochem? It is like if I said if you put two roosters in a pit together they will spontaneously fight, and you answered "No, it is not spontaneous, they only fight when they add the second rooster" Clays in the proper environment tend to organize nucleotides in a way that is remarkably similar and sometimes identical with existing RNA sequences. Those sequences, if in the right order, may catalyze the formation of identical sequences and could be a way for the first self-replicating molecule to have originated.The link you provided is a 'twofer' for me, it not only invalidates your claim (probably should read beyond the intro, just a hint) but is an awesome and concise pop-science reference I will use in the future. So thank you for that!

"I have seen so far because I have stood on the bloated corpses of my competitors" - Dr Burgess Bowder

Yes, in particular pay attention to the analogy of the falling rock and the importance of the "intelligent designer" to the progress of the rock once it has started falling.This is a typical example of another creationist\IDologist method: when an argument has been totally refuted on one thread take it to a different thread and start all over again.What is ironic\humorous is that this is done while debating on off-topic digression on a thread where the topic is creationist methods of debate.Enjoy.
