Creation Moment 6/27/2023 - Circular Reasoning of Dawkins = Ultimate Rom. 1:22

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,...
Romans 1:22
 
"In addition, Richard Dawkins indulges in blatant circular reasoning on several occasions:
We exist here on Earth. Therefore Earth must be the kind of
planet that is capable of generating and supporting us
…’
Darwinian evolution proceeds merrily once life has originated. But how does life get started? The origin of life was the chemical event, or series of events, whereby the vital conditions for natural selection first came about. … The origin of life is a flourishing, if speculative, subject for research. The expertise required for it is chemistry and it is not mine.’
He is right about his ignorance of chemistry. But, neither does the professor have expertise in theology or astrophysics, yet he discusses these at length. The real reason for his disclaimer is that nobody has the faintest idea how life got started—but that it happened is axiomatic for Dawkins:
‘… we can make the point that, however improbable the [naturalistic] origin of life might be, we know it happened on Earth because we are here.’
That has to be the ultimate in circularity....." CMI
