You could put a healthy living frog in a blender and blend it up then take the compound and wait and wait and wait but no life will spontaneously arise from it even though it started as a living entity. Even though you began with all of the components of life you would not observe life spontaneously arising from this mixture. Why? Because life only comes from life.

He expects some sort of magical event to occur and believes that it would be scientific evidence of evolution. That says a lot about this person's intellect. And that pathetic website.
Putting a living creature in a blender is horrific. But, speculatively, all sorts of life would arise from said frog blending. Leave that mess on your kitchen counter for a week and you'd see all kinds of "life miracles." Also...image
Oh man, you guys cannot even tell jokes right.
It goes:
What is green and when you hit the button it turns red?A frog in a blender!
And you normally follow up with:
And what is green and when you hit the button it stays green?A frog running for its life!
Even though you began with all of the components of life you would not observe life spontaneously arising from this mixture.
It wouldn’t be spontaneously generated, but if you would let that “mixture” stand for a while, you would see some impressive displays of bacteria and fungi breaking it down, seemingly coming from nowhere.
What about all the bacteria which would grow and consume the dead frog tissue?
And evolution does not say that new life forms will arise from ground up animals. That straw man was pretty easy to knock over, wasn't it?
Life will find it pretty fast, bacteria soon, possibly inherent or from your grubby hands. But I suspect you forgot the main creationist addition to this "experiment", blend the frog, "seal it in a jar and refrigerate it".
That's what they do to keep bacteria at bay, made famous by the clown that did "open a jar of peanut butter, wave it in the air, put the lid back on and refrigerate it" Week later, wow, no life.
The building blocks of life do arise from the right mix, the primordial soup theory still works. Sexual reproduction doesn't work by grinding folks up or waving parts in the air either, must be impossible.

Sponge Smoothie
Method:
1- Take four sponges of different species
2- Add sponges & seawater into a blender; switch on.
3- Pour resulting 'smoothie' into a tray
4- You have now killed sponges. Wait.
5- Said sponges will eventually separate themselves and reform into four different sponges.
6- ?????
7- Voila! You have now proven the existence of the T-1000 in "Terminator II".
8- Add sponges to a cybernetic body. Voila! You now have a T-X from "Terminator III".

If you waited long enough, you'd see life arise from it, sort of. Mold and maggots would soon find it and devour it.
In the time of your precious Bible, people thought that maggots were generated from dead bodies. With a bit of "evolution fairy tale" and biology, we now know that it's the flies that have an acute sense of smell and are apt at finding decaying bodies to lay their eggs in.
First off, it's not a compound but a mixture.
Second off, you're not talking about primitive life being formed over millions of years in a reducing (ie. not oxygen-rich as ours is) atmosphere.

Yes, yes, I remember the Joe Cartoon series too.
What is a good pious Christian like you doing watching something a sinnful as Joe Cartoon?
Confused?
