Michael Rawling, a.k.a., Ringtone, steeped in the pertinent science:
Well, I'm glad you wrote an article, I've written three textbooks, but again, I'm not an atheist.
How the hell could one ever observe a microorganism arising from a primordial, lifeless place in raw nature in the first place? How would one be in a primordial, lifeless place in the first place, given that the observer would necessarily be a life form?
That was kind of the point. Just because things don't happen on observable human time scales don't mean they don't happen.
You argue like a leftist, and you're about as dense as a pile of bricks.
Oh I'm anything but a leftist and why should I make it easy for you to make YOUR point in an argument I care little about?
The mere chemistry of natural means cannot produce life.
Pulled that one out of yer ass, did ya?
Only intelligent life can produce life, and the intelligent life that created biological life on Earth is God.
You may be right but unprovable. But God is INTELLIGENCE, not intelligent life. And much more. God is the infinite source of all qualities, but that doesn't prove that God didn't create chemistry to create life for him, nor does it satisfy the problem that if life comes from life and intelligent life comes from intelligent life, then where did the first life come from as you've already conceded that life must have a cause and a cause is a beginning! So there had to be a point where life came from NON-life. I'm afraid you've painted yourself into a corner.
Also, science shows that the original hominems evolved from lesser mammals which going back far enough, were NOT intelligent. Therefore, intelligence grew out of an environmental stimulus to cope with the environment as man increasingly didn't have the animal talents of raw bestial survival (lack of hair, lack of teeth, lack of strength, etc.).
Yours is the blathersmack of a damn fool who believes what he's told to believe sans any real knowledge of his own.
If you say so.
