4) I reject completely. The theoretically proposed original ancestor cell is highly complex to start with, and the abortive attemps to study origin of life have met stone wall after stone wall. -> To repeat, all the scientists have shown is what does not work, and no current theory to explore looks promising. What they do produce is intelligently designed laboratory molecules, not related to natural attempts.-This bit I don't understand David.
What I have read and understood is that the life we observe today is derived from an orginal ancestor cell (I have read that up to three have been proposed, but it is of no import to the discussion). This does not mean that there weren't a whole bunch communities of cells evolving prior to that. Plus this is totally consistent with the abiogenesis you I presented a while back.-Your second point, I find wanting. When scientists reproduce what they think might occur in a 'natural' setting in a laboratory, to replicate quickly what might take million of years in reality, your claim that this is intelligently directed, this I find a little bizarre.
