“Once you have complex life forms that can reproduce and undergo mutations, I understand how you can have a variety of different complex life forms (I am not sure if microevolution can account for ALL of the variety we now have, but I will argue that later). But the INITIATION of the complex chemical compounds and life forms is a difficulty for evolutionists.”

I agree. Another problem is that “evolution” has too many meanings. Some use it to just mean change over time, as in finch beaks or such changes; others to mean all life coming from one original cell; others to mean the development of life itself… It is hard to discuss something when everyone is not necessarily using the same meanings. Not all of those meanings have the same amount of evidence in their favor.

We are apparently talking past each other, so I am leaving the conversation for the time being. Time for a break… (Maybe I should slip over to Sinner’s Alley for another root beer!)
