Ah, this is a modern classic. Indeed, this is what the idea of intelligent design is based on. I could go for hours on this topic. I will try to restrict myself to only refutations of this creationist claim.
There is no known natural source of the information that is present in all life systems. Random processes are never known to produce information.
Some things are constants. Death, taxes, and southern states trying to pass religious bills in the name of education. The latest is from Oklahoma and it’s not even pretneding to have the students’ best interest at heart.
Oxygen can damage us though. It can react with many different types of molecules. It can damage things like amino acids, proteins, and the nucleic acids. Which brings us to the next claim by Texas creationists.
Photo dissociation of water vapor has been a source of oxygen since the Earth formed, and there is substantial geologic evidence that a significant amount of oxygen existed in the atmosphere prior to the advent of photosynthesis. Oxygen breaks down amino acids and sugars that are postulated to have formed!
In part 3 of this series, I’ll take two of the claims made by the Strength’s and Weaknesses website, as they really are the same thing. I’m not sure if the author thinks that they are two different things or what, but it is odd. Of course, while the science is not settled, it is far from the claims of the website.
No known way to achieve 100% left-handed amino acids in proteins or the 100% right-handed sugars in RNA and DNA – all of which are universal to life systems.
All natural processes are known to produce a 50-50% mixture of left-handed and right-handed molecules.
In our second part of the “Scientific Weaknesses of Evolution” discussion, we’re going to talk about this one
The high probability of breakdown by hydrolysis of amino acid chains if they were to form in the first place.
What I thought I would do is take some of these ‘weaknesses of evolution’ and examine them. Hopefully providing a resource to show how these weaknesses aren’t really problems or they have been dealt with by current science.
A friend just posted a link to Missouri’s creationism bill for 2013. The bill is not in committee and I…

Here’s a new article, thanks to a lot of people for pointing out to me. I have a few issues…
