However, in a 1996 debate with [[William Lane Craig]], Doug Jesseph claimed that the [[origin of life]] had a detailed [[Atheism|atheistic]] explanation(s).<ref>http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/doug_jesseph/jesseph-craig/jesseph1.html</ref> This confidence was not shared by the highly respected [[origin of life]] researcher [[Stanley Miller]]. Indeed, in 1996, John Horgan wrote that "Miller seemed unimpressed with any of the current proposals on the origin of life, referring to them as “nonsense” or “paper chemistry.”"<ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/abio.asp</ref> In a 1996 edition of ''[[Scientific American]]'', Horgan went on to say: "The origin of life is a science writer's dream. It abounds with exotic scientists and exotic theories, which are never entirely abandoned or accepted, but merely go in and out of fashion."<ref>http://members.iinet.net.au/~sejones/orignl01.html#orgnflfmjrprblmschcknndgg</ref>
At the atheist blog Common Sense Atheism, the atheist [[Luke Muehlhauser ]] said of the Craig vs. Jesseph debate: "A very typical debate in which Craig’s opponent is not prepared for Craig’s skill, speed, or organization, and things just get worse for Jesseph as things go along and he falls further and further behind."<ref>[http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=392 William Lane Craig’s Debates (Reviews)] by Luke Muehlhauser at Common Sense Atheism on February 7, 2009</ref>
In 2010, the worldwide atheist community was challenged to a debate by [[Creation Ministries International]] as prominent atheists were speaking at a 2010 global atheist convention in [[Australia]].<ref>http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/richard-dawkins-cowardly-clown</ref> [[Richard Dawkins]], [[PZ Myers]] and other prominent atheists refused to debate Creation Ministries International.<ref>http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/richard-dawkins-cowardly-clown</ref> Generally speaking, [[Atheism and Debate|leading evolutionists no longer debate creation scientists]] because [[Creation scientists tend to win the creation vs. evolution debates|creation scientists tend to win the debates.]]<ref>http://www.icr.org/article/811/</ref>
