a person, essentially going back to the old theory of Abiogenesis.
a person who rejects Creationism as an alternate theory despite huge amounts of contrary evidence, including radiohaloes in diamonds, and many other minerals.
a person who thinks that if you leave some slime in a room with special conditions for billions of years, something will appear (provided nothing living is in the room during that time)
a person who thinks that if you lock a million monkeys in a room with typewriters (given they will not die or be hurt in any way for eternity, and the typewriters can type an infinite amount of text), they will type "At the pet store, Bob bought some hamsters and parrots." after a few billion years. By mathematics 7.390804722X10^76 years provided they typed a key every one eighth of a second, ignoring the Laws of Thermodynamics. It is a simple sentence, but 7X10^76 years is well over even a billion billion years. It takes even more time for a simple virus or cell to appear out of a blob of 'primeval goo.'
(It takes much more time to turn virus or prokaryote into even a plant or fungus)
This article is not written in a way that should ridicule those believing in evolution, but the cases mentioned are realistic
