Re: You gotta stop misrepresenting the issues.
Here's a good website to help understand what the design inference entails.

That's some of the more skillful mental masturbation I've seen in quite a while. That's why I avoid apologetics sites every chance I get.

Re: Watching the moving goal posts makes me dizzy.
No, sorry... The entire premise of the experiment was to prove that life could have come about all on its own.
Nonsense. The premise of the experiment was to see what, if any, "biomolecules" would be produced by electrical discharges in an atmosphere like the one thought at the time to have been present on the early Earth. It produced several. Dr Miller has found a couple of dozen other ways to make different molecules under other conditions in the last fifty years, too - but he's far too bright of a man to think he could "prove that life could have come about all on its own" in a round-bottom flask under a reflux condenser.

Re: You gotta stop misrepresenting the issues.
A plant is organic matter and a rock is inorganic matter.
Coal? The carbonaceous portion of a carbonaceous chondrite? Those are rocks, and partly organic. And the chondrite never saw a living thing until it hit our planet.
Its a revival of Druidic paganism for many who worship the creation rather than the Creator.
What about those of us who don't worship anything?

Re: You gotta stop misrepresenting the issues.
Everybody worships something.
Bullshit. You don't speak for all humanity, kid.

Re: You gotta stop misrepresenting the issues.
Pffft. Pasteur was virulently opposed to Darwinism and all its baggage
Irrelevant to the comment made to you. Pasteur showed that the aerobic prokaryotes we call bacteria didn't arise from sterile broth. He showed nothing at all about conditions on the Earth of 3.5 billion years ago.
