: 2) What proponents of abiogenesis lack is an "intermediate form/organism." This supposed organism must be in between inorganic molecules--which generally have no tendency to replicate themselves (even when they do "replicate," such as in a crystal, there is no variation in that process, hence no natural selection)--and complex organisms like ourselves. Even the "simplest" organisms of today are incredibily complex, and cannot be accounted for at the "beginning." This professor said that he and his colleagues have _faith_ that such an organism can be found, but, as of yet, have no evidence to that end.

In your original statement you made the claim that abiogenesis is a "far greater fantasy" than theism. For me to believe this I would need to see the intermediate forms that lead up to your supreme being who is so powerful as to create things out of nothing including replicating organisms. Without an explanation and/or some evidence for your supreme being I'm afraid theism remains the "far greater fantasy".

As to your other points, as I've said before, I don't know enough about the subject to intelligently respond. Perhaps Chris (or someone else) can affirm or counter your response.
