An assignment from the Heritage Foundation

Kevin Drum has been given a curious assignment…in relation to an impending debate on an apparently growing number of scientists around the world who no longer believe that natural selection or chemistry, alone, can explain the origins of life.

…please prepare suitably relevant definitions for the following words and phrases:

*”Growing number”
*”Scientists”
*”Believe”
*”Theory”
*”Compelling”
*”Biochemical”
*”Evidence”

Hmm. I am always sceptical when I hear a phrase like “provides evidence of purpose and design in nature”. This subject has come up before – I just don’t think it holds water. But please convince me with sound evidence of design (implying a designer) and evidence of the existence of such a designer and I will be satisfied.
