Thanks to Chris for his message warmly supporting my argument about
"the `body language' of a threatened `priesthood'". I encourage him
to keep up the good work! :-)

What sort of point is this? It was a briefing with the express purpose of
explaining ID to Congressmen. If Darwinists want to hold their own briefing
they can.

"It is still to be demonstrated how these essential molecules, such as
haemoglobin, chlorophyll and other proteins and nucleic acids were
formed. But even if we were to allow a primeval soup to have existed for
the full history of the Earth (4,000-4,500 million years), complex proteins
and nucleic-acid molecules could never have been produced by random,
chance interactions. However, here are you and I on Earth today. And the
evidence of the fossil record shows that some sequence o events of almost
zero probability did take place over 3,500 million years ago. Before the
event, the chances that it would occur were exceedingly small. What is
more, from out understanding of the possible processes leading to the
origin of life and the critical part played by living organisms in the
development processes, the transition from non-living to living matter
probably occurred only once and could have occurred only once. The
origin of life was an almost utterly improbable event with almost impossible
odds against a chance happening But life did originate. So was it by
chance? Or was it by design and control?" (Brooks J., "Origins of Life,"
Lion: Tring, Hertfordshire UK, 1985, p.87)
