At least you admit abiogenesis is by pure faith! Should have happened millions of timer per second in every cubic inch of water in the world for billions of years to achieve a single living cell with DNA and RNA to survive and reproduce, but it has never been observed even once. Great is your faith to believe everything comes from nothing. RogerN

Should have happened That's because I reject the claim of magic as a cause. Magic explains nothing. I reject the claim that microorganisms were made by magic from a magic making God made with magic. Abiogenesis is still an unknown and there's no reason to claim a magic making God did it. It's not scientific to go running to sky Daddy or the nearest supernatural invisible entity for things lacking an explanation. 'God did it' explains nothing. 'God did it' is a suspicious easy explanation in a complex universe. 'God did it' is a black sheep explanation. Few things in science have simple answers. If abiogenesis finally gets an explanation, it's not going to be simple. Magic from God is an explanation by the ignorant. > millions of timer per second in every cubic inch of water in the world for > billions of years to achieve a single living cell with DNA and RNA to > survive and reproduce, but it has never been observed even once.

God's track record as an explanation is historically inferior compared to scientific explanations. There are probably still some that believe God makes lightning. For non-magical hypothesis on abiogenesis see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/originoflife.html Christian engineers are ridiculous to believe anything that is unknown can be from a God made with magic that uses magical abilities. -- D from BC British Columbia |
