Knowledge, belief & agnosticism (Agnosticism)
David Turell's statement: The mathematical odds against the spontaneous generation of a single RNA molecule are so enormous as to deny a chance event can do it. is of course correct. But no-one except propagandists against origin of life by natural processes are claiming any such thing. If a natural process is found it will clearly be of the step-by-step kind, not the "now an instantaneous miracle occurs" variety. - Also I don't have any "faith" that a solution will be found, or that one will be found quickly. It is a difficult problem. It may be that some revolution in the scientific paradigm will be necessary (e.g. the much sought-after reconciliation between quantum theory and relativity).
