matter can neither be created nor destroyed

Not true.

I suggest that you look up some modern physics. In particular, look for vacuum fluctuations and EHP generation.

Tiger Paw: " I am back ". Are you happy??? GGG. Ok where do we start:

Oh yes, Thermodynamics.

But we'll skip that for now so as not to bore the audience.

How about LRR, nor anyone else ever claimed matter was
appearing out of nowhere.


But of course you were Tiger!! Think. Think again.

Evolution means that things spontaneously happen without a Higher Power guiding the process. Correct?

So, where did matter come from? It must have been there forever? Correct?
Thus matter was never " created"? It always existed . Right?
( my 16 year old is going to look cross eyed when I tell him that ).

Or Tiger, maybe not. Maybe matter wasn't there and it came out of nothing. Perhaps Tom Swift can come to the rescue with some newer law in Physics ( to which I plead ignorance )
where you can have something out of nothing.

[ BTW do you think you can get me a couple of hot stocks out of nothing? I would really appreciate that ].

I am really sorry Tiger if I start with matter. I guess you want me to start somewhere else? Maybe later?If so where?

where and when and how did the first living being appear? .

Now you got me totally confused. And we thought the Kansas Board was confused,

TA

you said:

LRR, nor anyone else ever claimed matter was
appearing out of nowhere. You know this and choose to deliberately try to tie a violation of thermodynamics where none was even hinted. That type of
behavior would get you stripped of any professional membership in a scientific society (if you had such credentials).

At most LRR claimed that within vast patterns of random alignment some contained information usefull to reproduction of that information. That's not
matter or energy popping out of nowhere!
