The prof says that the "complexity argument" cannot be tested.
Mathematical assessments have been made on the likelyhood of life supporting molecules containing amino acids arising by chance. Highly optomistic mutation rates were used.
Conlusion: naaagh didnt happen by chance mate, time available too short for such complexity lol

people arguing for abiogenisis use evolutionary biology to explain events that occured after abiogenisis. So from an argumentative point of view
they are linked

To elaborate on Impaler1815's reply, to state that a flaw in evolutionary theory suggests that creationism is equally likely to be correct is to use a false dichotomy. This immediately makes your argument invalid.

Furthermore, Evolutionary Biology is not accountable shortcomings in Abiogenisis research. They are two different feilds. If you believe they are intimately linked, I encourage you to read and understand the Philosophy of Science. You can find this by searching Wikipedia.

Porno4God. You are right on the money. Why is a troublesome question. Most unfalsifiable hypothesis originate from 'Why' questions. To ask "How are we here?" is scientific. To ask "Why are we here?" is not useful.

Antiparticles have real, positive mass. Though it is perhaps slighlty counter-intuitive from a 3-Dimensional frame of reference, the best way to imagine an antiparticle is to understand that it is travelling backwards in time. Physicist Richard Feynmann did a great deal of work on this subject, and Feynmann diagrams demonstrate it best. Hope this helps, and that you can find some suitable reading on it!

I don't think that's how god/religion formed. I believe that anthologists say that because early humans couldn't explain the world around them and natural events, they put a human face on things. Such as the sun, water, thunder then that led to war, love, sex. Religion formed to keep people in line and gain power. I always ask theists were the idea of god(s) came from, and I never get an answer. It's clear to me that we humans made god up.
