I think there *is* evidence. I think you're just looking at things
through ToE colored glasses.


yeah that happens in science. i'm a chemist. i tend to talk about
atoms. go figure

What if the designer had created original

prototypes from which all life evolved? This would be consistent with
much of the evidence for common descent


occams's razor. unnecessarily complicated...

The path of evolution is complicated, and nobody can give a complete
account. But we do have a lot of the pieces of the story, and none of
the pieces contradict what I have said, though many of them contradict
what you have said. Pick a particular feature and we'll try to look into
it in greater detail, if any of that detail is known.


How about the common feature of protein synthesis? AFAIK, this feature
is common to all life, yet how do you explain it's development from
"scratch".


what relationship does this have to evolution? we chemists can't
explain everything in atomic theory, yet we dont doubt the existence
of atoms.

This is a response to a post from Wall of Sleep that I can't see, and so
can't respond to.
