I don't ever remember calling it ludicrous. Check back and I think you'll find I was referring to something else - most probably your knee-jerk tendency to jump directly from the (supposed) conclusion that the first lifeform was created by some conscious entity to the pages of the Old Testament?
As I keep trying to inform you, a creator of life would still be utterly mysterious and unknown to us and would not necessarily bear any resemblamce to the 'God' of the OT, or of any religion come to that.
That's where you fall down, by equating one with the other.
Anything to report on your looking into information driving processes in life yet?

I've told you often enough that what I'm speaking of in this thread does not prove the New or Old Testament that by your consistent stating that I am claiming it leaves me with no conclusion other than that you are just trying to be an ass.
