Great moments in Creation Science #348
Famed astrophysicist and sometime science-fiction writer Fred Hoyle was, in his dotage, vociferous in his assertion that life could not have developed on Earth spontaneously, as the standard scientific model holds.
In one of these pointless monkey-trials the creation science "teach the debate" side called Fred Hoyle to demolish the secularist view. Finally, a notable scientist to take up their cause!
He testified about all the statistical reasons he thought the scientific-model development of life on Earth was impossible. There just wasn't enough time for the process, etc..
Then the other side got to question him. Did his skepticism mean that life on Earth had been created by some entity?
Oh no, he explained. Religion is nonsense, of course. Life on Earth had come in the form of space spores that had evolved somewhere else.
D'oh!
