They claim that science has proven that life has originated not because of a Designer-Creator, but because of a natural process. We can quote Isaac Asimov for example, a former promoter of evolution who is now deceased. Asimov has made this statement in the past regarding the origin of life:
We can make inspired guesses, but we don’t know for certain what physical and chemical properties of the planet’s crust, its ocean, and its atmosphere made it so conducive to such a sudden appearance of life. Nor are we certain about the amounts and the forms of energy that permeated the environment in the planet’s early days. Thus the problem that scientists face is how to explain the suddenness with which life appeared on Planet Earth.
Now this is a rather significant statement. Asimov was willing to admit that the best that
we could do regarding the subject of the origin of life is to make inspired guesses. But as
we mentioned in our previous presentations, science must be based on fact, observable
evidence, and repeatable experimentation. Certainly there must be more than this in order to verify the idea that life has evolved.
