The Origin and Spite of the Word-Using Species

Should this not be a chapter in Science Made Stupid?

Those entrenched in academe, are less likely to
be teachers with time and tenure. Sad that.

I don't have a lot of time for creationist philosophers, but I am allowed to question them about any and all aspects of their beliefs. Evolutionists are a different matter. To question them is to attract accusations of cultism and bigotry. Yet I continue to ask why the atmosphere that creates amino acids when sparks are passed through it is not representative of the early Earth. I also ask why there is no evidence of simple forms of DNA in the record, only complex forms developed complete without apparent ancestry. I also ask why there is fossil record of complex bacteria trapped in sediment, subsequently metamorphosized, only a few hundred million years from the planet's formation. These and other similar questions are those that the open minded should ask not seeking to bolster a competing philosophy but rather to promote deeper thought on the origins of life on this planet and the Universe at large. In some quarters it seems that such questions are not welcome.
