The ocean could've been full of amino acids - even left-handed ones - and it still doesn't begin to explain how these components could organize themselves into the functional systems necessary for the coding, regulation and synthesis of living organisms.


is this all that organisms are daniel?  coding, regulating, synthesizing machines?

really?  

what if it is true?  so much for free will and abstract thought and all that rot.  Im not advancing any argument here, I just wish you would clarify your own.

Nor did you explain the finer details of how any single subsequent organic system could be made via a series of fortunate accidents.


why must such an event be fortunate?  What makes something an accident?  you can't separate your deep seated yearning for teleological order from the ability to understand the world.

I'll buy the book The Emergence of Life: From Chemical Origins to Synthetic Biology by Pier Luigi Luisi and read it from cover to cover.  I'm currently reading a Biochemistry textbook cover to cover, so it might be awhile before I get to your book - but as I said it's on my list, and I'm not afraid of it.  I'm not afraid to read any book or paper you'd like to refer me to.  I have no fears of scientific discovery because I find that all of it deepens my faith in an infinitely creative God.


hey, buy my book.

whatever.  what sort of data would fail to deepen your faith in an infinitely creative god?  what sort of data would cause you to reject such a belief?  Hmmm?

none?

Ok then.  I recommend a good scrub of your presuppositions.  The Diamond Sutra should suffice but just in case that is too banal for such a towering intellect as yours Portia, it might behoove you to read A Sand County Almanac.
