Recently someone raised a controversy concerning Francis H. Crick's refusal to admit the existence of God and His role in creation.

For everyone's information, Crick absolutely did reject special creation out-of-hand. He once wrote to Winston Churchill that a brothel would be just as appropriate as a chapel in a college at Oxford University.

But when he realized how much information DNA had within it, he knew he couldn't support the notion of abiogenesis. So he invented his theory of directed panspermia to explain how life came to be on earth.

Crick's pointed, deliberate, and explicit refusal to acknowledge the existence of God is a key context for Crick's line of reasoning. That is also the key context for my criticism of Crick's reasoning, and of infinite regression in general: that it seeks to obfuscate the First Cause of

heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is. Exodus 20:11 (KJV)
