Andrew, I don't think there is any such THING as a "simple living cell." I haven't seen one yet.
================ igin.
I know many Evos disagree. That's what I think happened.

Of course you “haven't seen one yet” !-they existed in the past but not in the present day because evolution would have made them much more complex and advanced.
….That may make the problem SIMPLIER in your eyes. To me "organic molecules" in the matter make it nearly unfathomly MORE complicated.
….
That is because you know little about organic chemistry while I do. I have done an university on organic chemistry and found it to be a fascinating subject. How do you judge it to be “MORE complicated” when clearly you don’t know much about it?
…"But Evolution has NOTHING to do with the origin of life." ..…
-correct -get it?
….And, we are not talking about the formation of life in a barrel, we are talking the formation of life somewhere on a planet with, presumably, a vast number of locations where life could form under the right conditions thus giving rise to vastly greater opportunity for the formation of life that would be possible “in a barrel”.
==================================
The problem for me Andrew, is that "the right conditions" have to be AROUND LONG ENOUGH for the EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM to take hold.
..…
“EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM”? what on earth are you talking about?
I presume you mean “EVOLUTION”? -which would make no sense because, very OBVIOUSLY, “EVOLUTION” is NOT a theory of how life originated and thus it is OBVIOUSLY NOT the accepted explanation of how the first life got started.
So what on earth are you talking about when you say “..have to be AROUND LONG ENOUGH for the EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM to take hold…”?
what kind of “EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM” has to be “AROUND LONG ENOUGH”? -your statement makes no sense.
…"The ORIGIN of Species," was the title of Darwin's book. Why didn't he call it "The Origin of every species EXCEPT the FIRST?"
..…
Because that would be idiotically pedantic. And it was called "The ORIGIN of Species" and not "The ORIGIN of life" for a reason.
….The the comment of Wilder about the information being created from the MOLECULES without an external concept, I think. is quite APPROPRIATE to the theory of EVOLUTION as process requiring no intelligent design.
..…
How can his comments of the assembly of MOLECULES to form the first life be “APPROPRIATE” to the theory of EVOLUTION when EVOLUTION has nothing to do with assembly of MOLECULES to form the first life because it is NOT a theory of how life originated?
Answer- it is certainly not “APPROPRIATE” and he doesn’t know what he is talking about.
…When their model failed to answer the problem of the FIRST instance of biological "natural selection"..…
The concept of "natural selection" was never applied to the problem of the origin of life because it is IRRELEVANT to origin of life thus it would be totally idiotic to do so. It would be as totally idiotic to do so as to apply the concept of "natural selection" to the origin of the sun.
