[ QUOTE ]
How about a theory about the origin of life on earth? Clearly evolution is a flawed theory along these lines. Refining a species OK. Mutating new species, maybe, but on thin ice. Origin of life? Sorry, it doesn't have any evidence. Citing evolutionary evidence within a species, or the spawning of new species via mutation to support that same theory for explaining the origin of life is faulty logic on bad premises. This makes more sense to me, as it is logical. Cosmic Ancestry as a LOGICAL theory of life-origin on Earth Come on people. Evolution is a kind of religion. Sheesh. Can't we all just get along? [/ QUOTE ] I have a question for you. If like on Earth was seeded from space (I don't either like or dislike this theory btw.), where did that life originate? You still have the same basic problem, with two alternative solutions: 1) life originated via random events acting on pre-biotic chemistry. 2) life was created by some pre-existing "god" (where did he/she come from?) We at least have evidece for the former. Belief in the latter is purely down to faith. Your argument reminds me of an anecdote (apocryphal) that Stephen Hawking tells, and goes something like this: At the end of a lecture on cosmology, and old lady stands up and tells and tells him that he's wrong, and that in fact, the universe rests on the back of a turtle. "And what supports the turtle?" he asks. "You can't fool me, young man" she replies, "It's nothing but turtles, all the way down." |
