Lennox's math may be fine, but his bioscience is not. You frequently repeat his assertion that

'"To give some idea of the numbers involved... the smallest proteins possessing biological function that we know of involve at least 100 amino acids and so the DNA molecules corresponding to [such a single protein] have as many as 10^130 sequence alternatives, only a minute proportion of which will have biological significance."

This argument would be more compelling if we needed even a single one of these lengthy proteins for life to start.

We don't. We merely need suitable catalysts. Catalysts made of a protein are called enzymes and are indeed crucial to life as it exists now. They operate with exquisite precision. But neither the molecules themselves, nor the precision they embody, are crucial to getting life started.

Small molecules that could serve as early catalysts exist. Lennox is gaslighting if he insists that large proteins must have been involved.

For one class of relevant molecules, look at ribozymes. Here's the smallest known ribozyme: UUU. That fact is enough to shatter your entire mathematical argument.

Human beings (or our AIs) will uncover possible routes of abiogenesis. We're making incredible progress. We will construct reaction sequences leading from prebiological chemistries to systems that, for all purposes, will be deemed living. We will see all this in labs. Future high school students may perform those experiments in class!

None of that will disprove the existence of God. For those who choose not to believe, their disbelief will be confirmed. For those who choose to believe, such demonstrations will augment the awe in which they hold God.

Rather than attempt to convince others that we'll never create life "abiologically," you'd be better served by preparing yourself for when we do.

I am old and in poor health. Even so, I may live to see abiogenesis experimentally demonstrated. I may not. My daughter certainly will.

I do not know if God exists. But our Universe is a spectacularly beautiful place, full of mysteries and marvels. Human efforts to appreciate and understand those marvels ennoble us. That's enough.
