At 1:25 you talk about how bob forgot his bible story. God created life out of dirt. GOD, not  1 in a billionth chance of all the right atoms somehow fitting together to create life. I don't see how it was an accident that YOU were created with your complex mind and your own unique personality. Why is it that us humans are far superior to any other creature on earth. No other organism has a mind like ours. Life is only possible with god.

@WWIIJuniorjoe3 It wasn't an "accident" that I came into being. I'm the result of some very extremely complex and complicated biology and chemistry. Just because you do not understand the complexity involved in the formation of the first "life," that doesn't give license to say "God did it." "God did it" is just another way of stating your ignorance about the matter.

After denying that inference has a place in science, Dutko pleads for an inference of his own and calls it scientific.

"that means that believing that there is a god IS in fact, scientific."

Do these people have no shame? I thought they were supposed to.

Not only difficult to reproduce the conditions for abiogenesis but actually impossible with current state of our technology. First you need a sun and then a planet in just the right position. Then you need a lot of complex chemical reactions to occur over billions of years. I'm not arguing against abiogenesis, I don't see any other way life could have occurred, just against the idea that it could be done in a test tube in a laboratory.

Ask what brought god into existance

[omri9325]

and god is only possible with imgaination.

@nn101198 I'm not trying to cause you trouble, but do you have a source, or researcher to go with that claim?

[MsGhoulz]

Alien astronauts experimenting with primate DNA sounds a tad bit more logical than a non-material being creating a dude from dirt....

[StygianDysnomia]

Wow... he refuted himself. First he says abiogenesis isn't scientific because science is based upon "observation, testing or the ability to make predictions".

Them he runs off to say that God is scientific? How is an invisible, transcendent being "based upon observation, testing, or the ability to make predictions"? Nonsense.

Sea creatures ect were the product of design.Not not created from nothing but from energy comeing from the designer.Even secular scientists claim energy to be eternal.

As Bill Maher said: "Let's keep the science to the scientists, shall we?"

[MrShysterme]

I can't believe the hubris of christian apologists thinking that they know better than trained scientists, that they can flip the page open and see the flaw.
