Abstract
Various antiscientific concepts and philosophies are presented and discussed. Reductionism is introduced as an important intellectual strategy that explains the structure and function of complex objects or theories by the properties of their simpler constituents. However, at the current state of knowledge, the origin of life cannot be explained by the properties of atoms and molecules via molecular evolution, and the antireductionist view has better arguments.
