| Quote | | When they feel like they use statistics to show what e.g. genetic drift can produce. When statistics show the utter impossibility for abiotic life genesis then statistics are dismissed because of the too many unknowns. |
That might just be because statistics that show genetic drift are generally based on empirical data* while the "statistics" that show that abiogenesis is impossible are probability calculations based on made-up numbers.
| Quote | | When it comes to the notion of a creator they use argument of incredulity to show that biology is impossible to be created. When one argues that complex control systems are hard to believe to arise spontaneously (we haven’t seen any pop up just by itself and it is hard work to make one) they say that it is argument from incredulity. |
Now, why would we say that? So unfair.

Well, I think it is very, very sad.
* Although he might be not familiar with that concept. To help Alex73 out:
The word empirical denotes information gained by means of observation, experience, or experiment.
In statistics, "empirical" quantities are those computed from observed values, as opposed to those derived from theoretical considerations.
