Why PDPrice is YEC, not YGC

Lol for the sake of the argument let’s say naturalism does struggle with these 3-4. This is equivalent to me beating you in arm wrestling 96 out of 100 times and you going around saying you’re a better arm wrestler than me.

It’s more akin to confirmation bias regarding naturalism, reminiscent of the question about irrational numbers like the square root of 2.

Every number that could be nicely described during the time of the ancient Greeks was a ratio of two integers, it was heretical to think there could be irrational numbers, until there was proof-by-contradiction that demonstrated the square root of 2 was irrational.

What has happened that if we assume for the sake of argument every phenomenon is natural (as in the consequence of ordinary mechanisms) we get absurdities or incongruities with accepted ordinary mechanisms. This is akin to proof-by-contradiction, but perhaps it is better stated as argument-by-contradiction.

This was unwittingly stated by Brenner which I describe in this thread. The went from the origin of life appearing to be solved in the Urey-Miller experiment era to the present state of affairs described here:

Stairway to Life by Change L. Tan and Rob Stadler

Molecular Biologist Change L. Tan and bio medical engineer Rob Stadler offer a critique of origin of life, particularly what was learned in light of Craig Ventner synthetic life experiments. [stairway_to_life_cover] [stairway_to_life] I interviewed Dr. Tan on her book. Description: Salvador Cordova and friends talk with Professor Change L. Tan about her recently published book, Stairway to Life, that re-examines the improbability of life emerging spontaneously. She also talks briefly about how her study of Eukaryotic cells motivated her to question the prevailing view about the ease with which Eukaryotic cells can naturally evolve. Her analysis of Eukaryotic evolution motivated her to also re-examine the origin of life from her perspective as a biologist and physical organic chemist. Dr. Tan got her PhD at University of Pennsylvania and her post-doctoral work at Harvard. She is currently a professor of molecular biology at University of Missouri. Rob Stadler posted a vide…

Naturalism is has practically failed for the origin of life, it is failing for the origin of eukaryotes, it’s failing for the origin of meiosis. It’s not hard to see, practically every major step in the claims of evolutionary biologists will require miracles indistinguishable from special and/or progressive creationism. That’s hardly a triumph for naturalism.
