QUOTE"'Sometimes I come across articles in journals such as Science and Nature theorizing about simple, primordial cell membranes made of “rudimentary” molecules such as fatty acids. But such flights of fancy ignore key chemical details of what’s needed to render cellular life viable.'" (David’s bold)

DAVID: This is the same observation as Behe's Irreducible Complexity. Biological cells and organisms must be completely designed from the beginning to function properly. They cannot be evolved stepwise. Which tells us the whole process runs with purpose. Please take careful note of the bolded last observation about science articles. That is why I constantly remind all that I reserve the right to interpret results. Don't just swallow the author's opinion about his results. I accept those but make my own judgment as to meaning.

I agree with you and Behe on the logic of the case for design, but I do not “swallow” his or your opinion; I make my own judgement. I do the same when you inform us that your God’s one and only purpose was to specially design H. sapiens (possible), and his chosen method was to specially design billions of other life forms to eat or not eat one another until he specially designed the only thing he wanted to specially design (illogical). Please stop implying that anyone who disagrees with you is just swallowing the opinions of “their” authors. We see the same results, and we make our own judgement as to meaning. As a matter of interest, please tell us now which authors support your conclusion that there is a divine 3.8-billion-year-old computer programme for every single undabbled innovation, life form, bacterial action, econiche, lifestyle and natural wonder in the history of life. Be assured, I will not “swallow” their opinion and will make my own judgement.
