I think you’re discounting the millions of years of evolution. Selective biology choosing the best candidate for survival. Known human history is at most 15000 yrs. there’s been millions of years ...

No I am specifically talking about the origins of life, the first complex living cells, from basic chemicals under prebiotic Earth conditions.

We are unable to produce complex living cells from basic chemicals without intelligent input. We may be able to produce a sludge that contains a few amino acids, but that is all. We are still struggling to produce the biomolecules needed to construct living cells, let alone the living cells thenselves. Simple as that.

So the big question is not about evolution, it is about the origins of life. Even so, neo-Darwinism is no longer considered a reliable hypothesis by some. Have you seen Dennis Noble's serious criticism of Richard Dawkins?

Let's say I grant you that there was/is some super-intelligent designer/initiator, I'd have to call into question this being's "super-intelligence" due to all the flaws in human biology. You'd think that a super-intelligent designer would code the human genome such that it couldn't produce genetic d...

I’ve read Dawkins but not Dennis Noble. But take the same logic of evolution and apply it to planets. Millions or billions of planets with the potential to form life, surely one of them has the right conditions. I actually think many many of them have the right conditions but we are separated by t...

Biomolecules have to be enantiomerically pure, exclusively right-handed or left-handed, to be used in living cells. Chemists can only produce mixtures of biomolecules in the lab due to all the side reactions. Then there is the half-life problem. RNA has a limited half life of a few minutes to hours...
