Is abiogenesis false?

life would be almost impossible to come into existence on its own because i say so, and that's why you need to believe in the god i worship (not anybody else's god) and go die for israel like a good goy

>that system is always goal directed
well, if it's selected for existing, then yeah, obviously. what the fuck
these people always fight with ghosts. the mistake the virtual for the real. it's like arguing for a creator when they see elephant shaped clouds in the sky

>the surprise conclusion of the machine consciousness debate will be that people are machines
Yes, because the """people""" astroturfing this nonsensical debate are also the ones systematically destroying language. Ask the imbecile who wrote it to explain what it means for something to be a "machine" and what he's contrasting that against, then watch him mumble like the semantic-free, word-stringing NPC that he is.

>you cannot explain the behavior of the parts without referring to the organised system they belong to, and that system is always goal-directed
You can say all this about a machine and it wouldn't sound out of place. If anything, it sounds out of place talking about an organic system. I'm not convinced Westrooners are even capable of anything but mechanistic thinking. They can't help talking about parts and systems and coordination and goals, even when they're going out of their way to make it sound like an organic account of something.

Mechanistic worldview works though.

If by "works" you mean speedrunning the evolutionary dead ending.

>b-but it doesn't look to me like it could come about on it's own

>well, if it's selected for existing
Key point that the religious creationists always miss. Mutation is random, yes, but selection is deterministic.
>inb4 well what's determining it?
Nothing. Just like entropy, it's statistical probability that gives a deterministic result.

good morning sir

*what else. it's simply the laws of this universe + randomness. + selection for like...existing. that's about it

No

Why do electrons flow from point A to B? Who is coordinating and directing them?
Retards really need to learn about potentials and how everything is simply acting based on what is the most energetically favourable configuration in the system that they're in.

This Keith guy is a pseud retard lol. He couldn't string together a coherent thought if it struck him across the back of the head.

I am.

It's not.
Why is every board getting raided?

Keith is a 3rd worldist chud.
