Re: ID does not require faith
So when all logic and reason fail, you resort to attacking the poster. up. That will convince all.

Both viruses and prions require life to already be in existence.
​
Why?

This article from the Scientist seems to indicate that viruses may even have preceded other forms of life.
​
This suggests that this type of coat protein arrangement preceded the split of the three domains of life over 3 billion years ago, Mark A. Young, the team's leader and coauthor of the paper, told The Scientist.
​
In addition, this article on RNA binding ATP seems to show that RNA can produce a molecule that will do work, a motor. It is only a short step from a motor to a computer.
​
While we have not yet shown a computer forming from inert materials, it is only a very short period of time until we do so. Research in creating organic machines, and in nano-technology is simply very young. If we look at history though, there can be little doubt that perhaps in my lifetime, certainly in the lifetime of some of the younger posters on this board, we will see life coming from non-living materials.
