A number materialist Darwinist skeptics, only some of them ignorant of the science, have scoffed at Intelligent Design and have long been claiming that OOL research is rapidly closing in on a viable theory of the undirected abiogenic origin of the first living cells from nonliving chemicals at the beginning of Earth history.
Accordingly, recently a bold challenge was issued by Dr. James Tour to several leading OOL researchers, to successfully answer any of a list of the 5 most fundamental problems in coming up with a plausible model of how undirected chemical interactions on the early Earth could have somehow originated the first primitive living cells from naturally occurring chemicals. Even one positive response to the challenge would show that they are maybe at least a bit closer to achieving their goal. If any of these researchers was successful in answering any of these queries Tour promised to shut up about OOL being due to intelligent design, and withdraw his various video and text Internet sites.
Well, the time limit has passed with no takers. Zilch. Showing that OOL research is no closer now than 70 years ago to answering any of these key mysteries of how chemicals on the early Earth could have spontaneously organized into primitive living cells. And there is no prospect at all of any light ever appearing at the end of that tunnel. Too bad this failure won't cause the materialist skeptics to shut up. Predictably, there just will be more in an interminably long series of promissory notes.
