What will you believe if science recreates the beginings of life?

[Againsheila]

My two suggestions.

1. God did it.

or


2. It was one heck of an accident.

No evidence for either at the moment but science is working on it.

And the funny thing is, even is science can reproduce it, that doesn't prove that God had nothing to do with it.

Just because someone might figure out how it was designed doesn't meant that someone didn't design it.

This is true.

And in related logic, just because junkmail is right every once in a while, doesn't mean he isn't a dumbass!

 

[AllieBaba]

Exactly. And every advance in science takes us closer and closer to God..rather than taking us further and further away, as you would expect to happen if you're of the "coincidental" ilk.

 

[AllieBaba]

This is true.

That goes for you too, manidolt.

Thank you very much. At least you acknowledge that I'm right once in a while.

More than I can say for you!

 

[Anguille]

I'll add a third...

It was a near certainty given the vastness of the universe.

For example, if a thing has a 1 in a million chance of happening, over the course of a billion opportunities, you'd expect to see it happen a thousand times.

Interesting.
I'm no good at math so I'll take your word for it.

I repped you too soon!

 

[KittenKoder]

I think life originated from living goo, not non-living goo.

Ack! It's the blob!

 

[KittenKoder]

but why only ONE time? not the thousand?

Can't you take anything o faith ...

Refreshing News: Life As We Know It Nearly Created in Lab

They are very close and if they succeed how will that effect your current beliefs?

For me nothing I believe the below quote over the folklore and unexplainability of religion and the master creator!

Some chemical reactions occurred about 4 billion years ago — perhaps in a primordial tidal soup or maybe with help of volcanoes or possibly at the bottom of the sea or between the mica sheets — to create biology

 

[AllieBaba]

That's more substantive how? It's simply a theory. And a crappy one at that. Nobody has ever proven that life can spontaneously create itself.

The flaw in your argument is that nothing proves that a hand did not guide or start the course of events, perhaps we are nothing but a big mistake, or one big fart.

Okay ... just when I thought a fundy couldn't get any less intelligent I see another notch on the board. Life doesn't create itself, but natural (or even random) events can create life.

The theory of evolution in no way, shape or form suggests that life spontaneously created itself.

Hay now, I created myself. *sage nod* I was nothing, floating around in nothing, then one day I thought with my non-existant self that I wanted to live, then poof ... I now exist.

I wonder if Allie Baba spontaneously created herself??

His theory is that life spontaneously erupted from non-life.

You are the last person in the world who should be grading intelligence, btw.

So ... somehow you think that some event causing life to be created equates to life itself creating itself?

lol, Babble thinks scientific belief is that on any given day a rock will start talking.
