I will come back later to Kauffman et al. and where their computer
simulations get us (or don't). But I wanted to append a few quotes from my
aging file on 'abiogenesis' (chemical). Although they do not deal with what
is now the frontline, they do show WHY a new frontline was needed. And what
these people say has NOT yet percolated down to HS or college textbooks (or
to the pew in general), which is why I find these perspectives worth
pointing out to my HS students before they go off to college.
(Note that neither I nor they are claiming that it is impossible in
principle to understand the mechanism of the origin of life. But it does
make eg. John Wiester's concordist statement that "each creation command in
Gn correlates with a scientific puzzle or gap" a correct statement (at a
lay level) at present. And that is something of apologetic if not
philosophical significance).
