[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  So scientists' inability to explain the origin of life by naturalist causes should be considered problematic.  But Dawkins flatly states, "The present lack of a definitely accepted account of the origin of life should certainly not be taken as a stumbling block for the whole Darwinian worldview."  But what if all the evidence shows life [i]could not[/i] arise from purely naturalistic causes?  That is where we stand right now, with the complexity of the simplest single cell surpassing Darwin's imagination.  There is no application of evolutionary theory that can explain the origin of information in living things, much less the presence of all the interworking functions of a single living cell.

Except your premise is false.  It's been demonstrated that crystal pattern species in clay can spontaneously self replicate and evolve based on natural selection.  The argument that this doesn't get us all the way to evolving living cells is equivalent to the argument that a supposed "missing link" in the evolutionary chain disproves that humans and apes share a common ancestor.

See e.g, this study (or google crystal patterns evolve):  http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dna.caltech.edu%2FPapers%2Fsimple-ca-evolution2011-LNCS.pdf&ei=I-cuToLaMpO78gOzjeFc&usg=AFQjCNGMGXGHcbGV-MJKzGs8VNsBNRzzWA[/quote]
