The professor described himself as a "flag-waving and card-carrying evolutionist and, about half the time, an atheist," but said evolutionary theory has not explained how the first living cells came into being.
"I now believe with about 60% certainty that the first living things were intelligently designed by a creator," Rainbow said.
"For 50 years, the best scientific minds on the planet have tried to show where the first cells came from and we failed miserably to demonstrate that. … If you try hard for 50 years and fail to show something, that's pretty strong evidence - the old theory of a prebiotic soup now appears to be kaput."
The creation model stands apart from the "intelligent design" movement, which rightly has been assessed to be nonscientific, he said.
"Intelligent design is not testable because the intelligent design movement does not offer, as yet, any model to explain the origin of history and the details of its life," Ross said. "We have a model. We had a model even before the intelligent design movement existed."
Ross stressed that his work never would prove God's existence with 100% certainty.
"Science is incapable of offering absolute proof of anything. Science cannot offer absolute proof of the existence of any entity," he said, but it can offer "measurable probability."
What if aliens landed on earth tommorow, what would you belive then?
I will remain an evolutionist until I see some real evidence to prove other wise, not just a lack of "enough" evidence for one side automatically means God made everything individually. Which is absurd.

Just re-create the "soup" and create life again. If it happened once, why not again. I suppose if you had the right mixture, maybe throw in some electricity you could create some very basic bacteria. If not, that theory is truly dead.
