Evolution is more probable than Intelligent Design

Once again, thank you for your swift reply. I apologize for the delayed response and wish you the best of luck.CON'S FIRST CONTENTIONPlease forgive me, but I was not sure what you were arguing when I typed up the argument in the previous round. This is a good question, how did life arose by means of evolution? Well, it didn't. The fact is evolution explains the diversity of life. So, how did life arose on earth? There is another theory to explain that which I will explain. ABIOGENESIS What are amino acids? Amino acids are the building blocks of life. Without the amino acids, life as we know it couldn't have arrived. How are amino acids made? There is evidence that amino acids, which are the building blocks of life, can be produced via natural selection and by nature. How? Well, in the 1950's Stanely Miller and urey did an experiment to see what would have happened with amino acids in the early blocks of life on earth. What he did was, Miller took molecules which were believed to represent the major components of the early Earth's atompshere and put them into a closed system. The test confirmed that organic compounds can evolve from inorganic compounds. Moreover, it also produced amino acids, the building blocks of life. [1] [2] How likely is abiogenesis? In his debate, RoyLantham notes: Forty of the top scientists studying abiogenesis have collaborated on a book, Origins, Abiogenesis and the Search for Life in the Universe, Michael Russell, et al.. They conclude that abiogenesis is not merely likely, but inevitable, “Be it on Earth or some other world, life had to begin via processes known as abiogenesis Obviously, there must have been an evolutionary progression beginning with simple chemical compounds to proto-life, then to DNA-equipped life capable of replicating itself. As detailed in this text, those prebiological evolutionary steps may have taken place in submarine alkaline hydrothermal vents and required various chemical interactions and divisions involving amino acids, polyphosphate-peptide synergy, the creating of biosynthetic pathways and the emergence of sparse metabolic network, and the assembly of pre-genetic information by primordial cells, with some championing compartmentalizaton, others, vesicles, and all this leading to an RNA world in which viruses and retroviruses played an important part. The origin of life and evolution of prokaryotes was not a matter of chance, but deterministic, probable and necessary and that these bioenergetic principles are likely to apply throughout the universe …” http://www.amazon.com...;[3] "Unfortunately, Pro has given no evidence for the origin of life via evolution, so he has already lost the debate."Once more, I have given it above. Moreover, evolution=/=the origin of life. What you are doing is shifting the BoP and giving me a false burden. Therefore, you have lost the debate already.CON'S SECOND POINTCon keeps saying that variation is needed for natural selection. I have already given how variation can occur natural via mutations. So, how do mutations work in asexual reproductions [4]? Second, the definition for Natural Selection is the non-random process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a opulation as the function of different reproduction of their bearers. CON'S FINAL POINT This has been dropped. Conclusion_________________________Footnotes 1. For more on the experiment, see http://www.chem.duke.edu...;2. See also http://en.wikipedia.org...3. See the debate on Abiogenesis: http://www.debate.org...;4. Most of the early life on Earth reproduced asexually. Therefore, asexual reproduction is relavent in this situation.
