quote:
Making a soup requires minimal specifications - add X, Y, and Z and cook over a fire. Making a machine depends on extensive specifications, where specific parts are specifically connected. I therefore predict that when life is eventually created in the lab, the protocol will look more like the assembly instructions for putting together a machine than a recipe for making a soup.
Of course it will because it will be people designing something. When humans do anything that imitates something found in the world, they must put together instructions on how to prepare it.
The problem is nature does not have to work as humans do. Some chemistry lab experiments involve very detailed instructions for other humans on how to get a reaction to move forward toward an end result, where it happens quite naturally in the world by chemicals slowly accumulating (and interacting) in the right environment, over longer periods of time.
Oh by the way warren, nice to see you again after dropping out of how many more threads when your theories can't cut the mustard?
Here's a prediction: Warren will argue until his assertions are found to be inaccurate, or called to actually explain the utility he claims ID has using only real world events, and then Warren will disappear... only to reappear later spouting the same garbage as before.
If you are so confident that ID has something to contribute as a tandem model (with evo) in legitimate science research, why don't you go back to the threads you have abandoned and answer my specific questions regarding how much utility it brings?
