What is the false premise?

Just read the book. If it is so terrible then you can write a review demolishing it.

And I'm not opposed to doing research, of course (hard to believe I have to clarify this)

In fact I want people to research the question of the origin of life as rigorously and exhaustively as possible because it is just going to make it that much more obvious that life was designed by God.

I have absolutely no fear that this "gap" is going to do anything but widen.

Ok, I'm not sure whether you're reading this or not, but check out this thread:

Is that an interaction that is worthy of a ban?

I feel that what often happens is that I make a non-flame-war comment, and then someone comes in and uses passive but extremely aggressive language against me, and then I am forced to either retreat or to hold my own.

I look like the bad guy, but the other guy is actually the unreasonable one.

You are a world-class moderator so I have no problem with your judgment!

Yes, I bite the bullet on the god of the gaps when it comes to the origin of life.

Sheesh, as chance would have it the most recent Revero podcast has more information about alleviating Crohn's and IBS through the carnivore diet.

I recommend that you try the carnivore diet yourself. It really is a panacea, and I don't use that term lightly.

Have you read a book called The Stairway to Life: An Origin-of-Life Reality Check by Tan & Stadler? You can find it on Amazon. It's pretty short and will get you thinking rigorously about the problem.

As a biologist, how do you account for the existence of life?

First of all "dietitians" just spout the conventional wisdom and are not known for their acerbic wit.

And yes, I recommend eliminating fruite, vegetables, whole grains, and plant-based proteins. All the nutrients you need are contained in animals. Beef liver, eggs, and sardines are the three most nutrient-dense foods on Earth.

Anyone can simply try this diet for themselves (please give it at least six weeks, but ideally 12 weeks). I promise you that you will thrive.

Please read The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz to get the "science on saturated fat and CVD". You will find that it supports my perspective. Phenomenal book -- deeply researched over ten years and well-written.
