Bradford over at TT has posted an interesting thread on RNA World. Bradford, like a typical IDiot is looking for empirical and detail testable pathways. The sophisticated and intellectually superior Darwinists on the thread is befuddled by Bradford’s insistence refusal to accept the Darwinian just so stories.
Another IDiot, Joy, follows Bradford in asking irrelevant questions like these.
1. Does RNA spontaneously generate in hypothetical pre-biotic earth conditions?
2. If so, what are those conditions?
3. How stable are these loose RNA molecules in those conditions (how long do they last)?
The question is not if RNA world existed. It is a fact like gravity is a fact. The question is can we come up with a just so story that people will be fooled by it. We all know RNA is unstable, so what. We all know that RNA has a half-life of about an hour and shorter if the solution is basic, so what. Natural selection can work really fast if it has to. We all know that as soon as RNA is synthesized in the prebiotic world it will get used.
emphasis added.
Hi Teleologist. David Berlinski has written a devastating critique of the RNA world. I
should have reviewed it carefully before posting at TT although it would not have staved off
the personal invective. I decided to post rebuttals of the concept at my own blog. The
first post was:

Do we have to call these people IDiots?
Sal…, I was being sarcastic. IDiots are terms that Darwinians would like to use for ID proponents.
