Oolers Beat Dead RNA Horses
March 4, 2024
Evolutionists find it hard to let go of implausible stories. They keep them alive with all their "might."
OOLers Have Abandoned Reason
March 19, 2021
Why are we here? Stuff happens, origin-of-life researchers agree. It might have been lightning.
Origin-of-Life Research Abandons Chemistry, Turns to Miracles
August 6, 2020
If a chance explosion created the universe out of nothing, maybe another 'big bang' created life, too.
Paid Liars: Origin of Life Researchers
June 6, 2020
What else do you call pseudo-scientists who know what they try to do is impossible, but tell the public they're getting warmer?
New Theory about the Origin of Life Concludes It’s Magic!
August 19, 2019

Magic droplets overcome one hurdle with help from humans, but so what?
Boastful Origin-of-Life Claims Conceal Contradictions
November 14, 2017
The latest speculations about life’s origins always overlook the most essential component: the origin of biological information. Suggestive catch-phrases are no substitute for demonstration. Evolutionary scientists employ stock phrases like “missing link” and “RNA world” and “prebiotic soup” that conceal, rather than illuminate, the actual chemical problems getting from molecules to life. The so-called “building […]
