> > > dhw: You will not, I hope, be surprised to hear that I agree. The complexity of the cell is such that belief in chance requires just as massive a leap of faith as belief in an unknown, single, eternally conscious, sourceless mind that can create both a universe and a cell. - You do not surprise me at all. > > dhw: Evolution is not a theory of the origin of life, but of how different species developed out of the original forms. There is absolutely no reason why theists should not believe that their God created those original cells - and indeed millions of theists do believe just that. The complexity of the cell is an argument against abiogenesis but not against evolution and not for creationism. This sort of distortion is what gets ID a bad name. - Agreed. Do not conflate. Origin of life and the process of evolution are two intertwined but separate points to be considered.
