And as for my reference to life beginning from an accident, that's what evolutionists attribute it to- they have many "accidental" theories... Lightning striking inorganic material floating on the ocean. Bottom line is- they don't know, so they attribute it to an accident. What I'm saying is even that first simple cell is so complex that the probability of it being created by accident is less likely than the probability of a tornado blowing through a junk yard and creating a 747.

"What I'm saying is even that first simple cell is so complex that the probability of it being created by accident is less likely than the probability of a tornado blowing through a junk yard and creating a 747."

But slightly more probable than a fundie blowhard racing through a field of facts and not creating a strawman, apparently.

If you want to know how evolutionists explain the origin of the cell, you might try skipping your usual creationist websites and instead reading either of John Maynard Smith and Eörs Szathmary's books on the subject, Major Transitions in Biology (detailed, undergraduate level), or The Origin of Life (a simpler, pop-sci treatment of the same material).

This is from the pulpit, or a guest speaker at the church or televised creationism. The '747 from a junkyard' gambit was old when Hovind started using it.

Where had your God come from when there was nothing? Creationism states there was nothing and in that nothing an all-powerful God who created everything from nothing. Science never stated there was nothing

And look at the hurdles the Evolution side has to jump. They want them to state when, where and how the first organisms developed. the how has an answer, evolution, we KNOW, FACT that things have changed over time, humbler beginnings is the answer.90 percent of everything thats ever lived on this planet is gone.

What is more probable?
That first lipid microspheres were created in an ocean full of organic matter and got more and more complex and finally evolved into multicellular organism
or that a divine entity (of which you cannot explain how it came to be) created earth and all life in its entirety and afterwards wrote (or inspired) a book about it (a book which btw. is full of contradictions with itself as well as with acheological/geological evidence).
(A divine entity which btw. remains absolutely silent nowadays (despite biblical records about said divine entity talking to humans very often), aside from events which are sometimes explained as wonders by its followers, which however are easily explainable by natural means and also happen to "unbelievers")

old comment by Doubting Thomas

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.....
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!

Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.

Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.

Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss.....and when!

Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Chorus

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Remember the Pueblo.

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate.

Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.

Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.

For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."

Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

Chorus

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.

GIVE UP!

Reprise

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Evolutionary theory in and of itself does not speculate or postulate any scenario for the origins of life as such things fall outside the purview of evolutionary theory.

they have many "accidental" theories...

There are may ideas and speculations, but no actual theories.

Lightning striking inorganic material floating on the ocean.

Doubtful, for no other reason than the fact that life likely arose from organic material rather than inorganic material.

Bottom line is- they don't know

No, we don't, but we don't claim to either. It may be impossible to know without knowing the exact chemical and atmospheric conditions of early earth.

so they attribute it to an accident

No, not even close. Spontaneous mabye, but hardly something that could be "accidental". Even your example of lightning jumpstarting life in the ocean isn't "accidental".

What I'm saying is even that first simple cell is so complex

But you want people to believe that it was designed and created by an infinitly more complex "god", that convenietly doesn't seem to need a creator of it's own. Talk about double standards.

the probability of it being created by accident is less likely than the probability of a tornado blowing through a junk yard and creating a 747.

No, the probability of life coming into existence is 1. It has happened and the evidence is all around you.
