About FYS 129

Today I'm just going to talk about my day yesterday in my FYS 129, the question of God. We were talking about strong points, weak points, and fallacies in both naturalism and christian theism as worldviews. My main point was a major flaw in a point of evolution, a point which even Darwin found himself inclined to not attest to, which as abiogenesis. Abiogenesis is exactly what it sounds like, the beginning of life from no life. This was of course thought compeltley impossible until the experiment preformed by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey in which some of the most basic amino acids were produced in the 50's. My points were arguing how there was so much manipulation in the experiment, flaws in theories and people ignoring that 96.4% of what was created in the mixture is extremely toxic to the polypeptide bonds that make up proteins. The energy source used as a catalyst for this reaction, UV light, which also destroys simple organisms. The manipulation I spoke of was how they unnaturally filtered out harmful wavelengths of UV light, which is not done by the atmosphere(since they presumed there was no oxygen present on the planet at this time, thus there is no ozone layer to filter out anything), to provide necessary energy without the destruction that should coincide with it. Also they removed the toxic gasses that were produced, in abundance. Also the results of this we wildly exaggerated , and even Miller believed others took the results out of context. The argument is of course far more detailed and in depth than this, but as I was speaking, from the point of a molecular biology and biochemistry and cellular biology Major, everyone got confused so I had to wrap up the argument about there.
