He answered this over 10 years prior to interview in The Blind Watchmaker in 1986 pg 172-175. To suggest he couldn't answer is dishonest!

He paused due to the realization that he was duped into an interview with creationists!

Also, here's a vid of him talking about it

@ScientiaVeritasEtLux How did the ribosomes come about when it are the ribosomes that put proteins together in the first place... :p

[Gilbertus1986]

@quiverfiller Actually evolutionists contribute to this, they use their "big bag of answers", pulling from different versions of evolution, to what suits the discussion most.

For example- the fossil record doesn't show a progression of dawinian evolution, as such evos use punctuated equilibrium, yet punctuated equilibrium cannot occur as large amounts of large mutations are mathematically improbable, and are less likely to be passed on, so the evos switch back to Dawinism... Its equivocation

[quiverfiller]

Please study a little harder. There are many theories of Evolution not just one. You have combined them all under the term "evolutionists believe" . Evolutionists from one theory do not agree with evolutionists from another. You have been taught that they all agree. Wrong. There is one huge flaw in all the theories. Things get better the more you break them (mutate). This violates the 2nd LAW of Thermodynamics. You are confusing mutation with variations within a genome.

ok? so what was the purpose of RNA before proteins were developed?

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

@rubantin probably DNA, but RNA and ribozymes came before both of those.

[rubantin]

What came first DNA or Proteins?
