Life from life can be demonstrated with the scientific method. With Probability, that would be a 1. seen it has been done and is still being done...

Fergerson No it is not. A creationist, which I am not, can say a an old man critter snap us into being and then reply: "Yet we're here. Ergo the probability of life arising from Magic is exactly 1. There is nothing tangible with creation and nothing tangible with abiogenesis. I don't believe in Magic. I do believe in Clarke's third law.

Ergo the > probability of life arising from Magic is exactly 1. That doesn't matter, even a creationist reading the most strict version of the bible has to accept abiogenesis. It's in black and white. God picked up a handful of mud and breathed life into it. If that doesn't qualify nothing will. > There is nothing tangible with creation and nothing tangible with > abiogenesis. > > I don't believe in Magic. I do believe in Clarke's third law. |
