homochirality can not be achieved in a natural way and requires some supernatural intervention.
I see..
While I'm not qualified to discuss complex issues of organic chemistry, my simple refutation of this would be something like this: since homochirality is observed in nature, it seems obvious that it can occur naturally. QED.
Regardless of how hard it is to imagine such structural organization forming naturally, many things in nature have a complex organization, such as crystals, lattices, and even fullerene structures. It seems short-sighted to assume that homochirality can't also occur naturally, given that we have billions of years of organic soup bubbling away.
These lines of reasoning, regardless of what technical jargon may used, all boil down to one basic argument: things we cant imagine forming naturally--becasue we havent observed it happening--must have been caused by a god. This is faulty reasoning because it supposes that we know everything about how natural processes work, and that because we cant directly observe something, it cant have happened naturally.
Therefore, if organic structures arise with a given organizational complexity, we should NOT assume that it is related to a supernatural cause, but instead assume that it is natural, and try to understand how it occurs. This is the basis of all science; as I have said before, science can only prceed when the supernatural is ruled out at once.
There is really not much more to say here I think; either you agree with the scientific method, or you dont. If you dont, please dont bother arguing with a scientist or a theory.
