Thanks for this point, Art. If this is the case, then THIS is where
Christians should argue their case against the reductionist view of the
origin of life. To argue against the origin of life from the probabilities
simply is weak. I have shown a two step process, 1 creation of a long string
2. random excision of sub-strings, which makes the finding of a particular
functional unit much, much more likely. The probability argument
is too weak to support the weight of any anti-evolutionary arguments.
I have said on numerous occasions that I don't think evolutionists have
proven their case with the actual origin of life. That may very well
have had to have been accomplished by God. But to argue that the
probabilities make the naturalistic origin of life imposible, is simply
not the case.
