Bet she'll "see a logical fallacy" now!


I don't see one. However, if you claim this and scientists find the right mix of conditions to observe abiogenesis, would you say that your theory has been invalidated?

Let's try another one:

(1)Observation: No creation of a fully formed organism from nothing has been observed
(2)Theory: There was no creation of a fully formed organism from nothing.
(3)Invalidation: Observe the creation of a fully formed organism from nothing.
