Do you think generally the human race are useless?

I can only speak for myself.Do you think generally the human race are useless?
That's an odd thing to say. The "current state of scientific research" doesn't conclude that Intelligent Design was needed. Why do you draw a different conclusion than the people who are doing the scientific research?If I follow the current state of scientific research and accept it regarding the origin of life, then it is completely logical for me to conclude that Intelligent Design was needed.
It has never been shown that such an intelligence exists. Never once! In no experiment!Life has never been shown to be possible without it.

So why do they keep doing thousands of experiments if the results are not promising?Thousands of experiments have been done on the origin of life. Not one of them has ever created life from non-life, using only natural processes, in only a natural environment.
But that isn't the conclusion that scientists draw. They keep doing thousands of experiments. If they agreed with your conclusion, they'd stop trying, wouldn't they?If every experiment so far, using the most basic natural pathways conceivable failed to produce life, the conclusion of scientific research as of today is that purely natural processes cannot pull it off.
But every attempt to discover such a "something" has failed.If natural processes in purely natural environments cannot create life, then something else that has the ability to manipulate matter, beyond natural processes and natural environments, would logically have to exist in order for life to exist.
No it isn't. Science clearly disagrees with you. Science is looking for natural processes, not magical somethings.Again, this is current, right up to date science.
Clearly not. Otherwise they wouldn't still be looking. Who's been telling you these lies?My view runs exactly parallel to the current state of the scientific evidence.
God of the gaps cherry picker for political reasons are you?This is the way it looks to me... ...call me crazy!
If you don’t agree, no problem!
Thousands of experiments have been done on the origin of life. Not one of them has ever created life from non-life, using only natural processes, in only a natural environment. Or even in the most sophisticated laboratories we have, for that matter.
All of the “most likely to succeed” natural process pathways were eliminated years ago, because the experiments failed to produce life. They all failed! Every single experiment failed to produce life!
If every experiment so far, using the most basic natural pathways conceivable failed to produce life, the conclusion of scientific research as of today is that purely natural processes cannot pull it off. Our most brilliant scientists have tried for decades.
That is an obvious conclusion from the facts!
That is the clearest indication from what science has proven over and over again, with failure after failure to create life from non-life.
If natural processes in purely natural environments cannot create life, then something else that has the ability to manipulate matter, beyond natural processes and natural environments, would logically have to exist in order for life to exist.
Because life exists, that “Something Else” must exist.
It follows that this “Something Else” would have to be Intelligent enough to pull the creation of life off. Since life exists, and because science has proven, again so far, perhaps not ultimately, that natural processes cannot create it on its own.
Again, this is current, right up to date science.
And it would follow, since we cannot create life and it can, that it would have to be more intelligent than we are.
So now we would have “Something that is more Intelligent than we are” lurking about out there somewhere.
Or the existence of an “Intelligent Designer” of some kind.
This is all not fact, just a logical approach to the problem as of today. Sorry for the repetitive rambling!
Since the obvious and simple approaches have all been tried and have all failed to create life in scientific experiments so far, it gets harder not easier from here on out to solve the problem using only natural processes.
The more we understand about the problem the more impossible it appears to become, not easier.
My view runs exactly parallel to the current state of the scientific evidence.

Go fuck yourself?Are you recommending the
Rock of the Gaps theory?

Clearly not. Otherwise they wouldn't still be looking. Who's been telling you these lies?
But why is somebody willing to pay if there is no hope of a positive outcome? And why is nobody payng for scientific research into your mysterious intelligent spook?As long as someone is willing to pay for the research, the research will continue.

Clearly, your position is not a scientific one.
Why don't you call me crazy so I can play the victim?You could have just called me crazy! I would have preferred that.
We have shown that lightning, air and water can do it. Not a rock.Much more logical than thinking that a rock could do any of these experiments, or could ever do them, outside of the most sophisticated lab environments we can build.
Incorrect. We have demonstrated all the steps along the process.That is where we actually are today. That is what the evidence actually points to right now. That natural processes can’t do the job of creating life. Every attempt has failed to create life from natural processes.
Nope. If someone could demonstrate an irreducible step that only an intelligence could accomplish, then you would have an argument for intelligent design. No one has demonstrated such a step. You are probably doing the argument from incredulity here - "I cannot comprehend how this could have happened naturally, therefore it must not have." It's generally a poor argument; an ignorant person in Madagascar could use it to "prove" that airplanes cannot fly.Current scientific research already indicates Intelligent Design is needed.

Still no reference.You know this already!
Why don't you call me crazy so I can play the victim?
Maybe not crazy but, still not worth paying attention to.No, I like you too much!

Hooray for me!
