Human evolution; possibly we first appeared earlier (Introduction)

DAVID: The complexity of the biochemistry of living organisms is well beyond that approach. Intense design is required to create the emergence of life from lifeless organic molecules, from which, when their function is coordinated properly, actual life emerges. It is this concept that separates your thinking from mine, which comes from my training in biochemistry.

dhw: I have NEVER disputed the argument that “actual life” and the mechanisms of evolution are too complex to have originated by chance. It is a major reason why I cannot embrace atheism. Your comment is your usual escape route when I challenge your hypotheses about the purpose and method of the evolutionary process. Look at what I wrote: “….accept the (theistic) alternative that your God set up the initial mechanism” etc. Your training in biochemistry will not have given you one iota of support for your firm belief that your God designed every life form, lifestyle and natural wonder for the sole purpose of producing the sapiens brain.

I agree that my interpretation of the human brain as a goal of God's is not based on my background in biochemistry and biology, but it is the basis ofmy firm belief that God had to be the designer of life and the major changes in its various complex forms from the beginning. Please do not misjudge my depth of training and how it leads to my belief in intelligent design..
