Oh those clever evolutionists: Question-begging abiogenesis

Yeah, this is pretty funny, alright. If a model says that something cannot happen, and there is evidence that it has happened, then it is absolutely certain that the model is erroneous.Understatement is often funny. Thanks for pointing it out, Faith.

Hello, Faith.I was going to let it go for a day and then write a post explaining the proper role of mathematical models in science. But if you plan on responding, maybe I'll wait to see why you think RAZD's comment is so interesting. I think I may have a vague idea of what you are thinking, but I'd rather wait to see what you say before I "put words in your mouth."

Ooh! I like this one, Nuggin. Our mathematical models and physical laws demonstrate that a global flood in historical times is impossible, yet that doesn't deter creationists from their conclusions. Even when they have to make the evidence up.

Then we have to compare that with the probability of life arising by the hand of God, which, of course, can't be done. What are the odds?

Excellent point, robin. I hope you don't mind if I start using this myself.
