| the various theories about the origin of the universe are interesting although somewhat theoretical. they are certainly a point where a modern understanding of the universe and gods act of creation can combine. whether they do or not is another issue, and if they do, how relevant this is to our lives is very open. abiogenesis is a different concept to evolution. it is the process of live developing from non life. it is also a point where science and creationism of some form can blend although once again how such an act of creation is relevant to our lives today is very open. the miller urey experiment proves nothing, as it was not expected to. but it did suggest that non theistic abiogenesis was certainly possible, that creating the fundamentals of life is not the sole domain of god. evolution is not in question. it is as much a fact as the earth being round. denying this takes a monumental denial of evidence from so many diverse sources over centuries. the scientific debate is about the process of evolution, the mechanisms rather than the phenomena itself. life has had 4 billion years to evolve adaptations to every environment on the planet, there is nowhere that is not colonised by some form of life. in this environment, abiogenesis does not occur, as any materials or environments that might be able to create de novo life are quickly taken up by pre existing life forms. today, life comes from life simply because life multiplies and evolves so much faster than abiogenesis. but in a pre life world, abiogenesis is left to its own devices for millenia, and this was sufficient for life to appear. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Even worse they would have to admit life on this earth came from life somewhere else. Quote:

In other words, even if abiogenesis has not been directly witnessed by humans in nature or in a lab, this doesn't mean abiogenesis hasn't occured or can't occur. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Exactly. And you can belive in God and science at the same time, without having to believe that what is in the Bible is correct. As I said, I am not an atheist, but I don't belong to any organised religion either. And I have no problem thinking that all of nature from the tiniest subatomic particle to the vastness of the cosmos is amazing, without having to say that it was all created 6000 years ago, by some guy whippng up his latest recipe. It doesn't matter who is right, it cannot be proven one way or the other right now. So sit back and enjoy what we have and believe whatever you like, and let others belive what they like, it doesn't make one damn bit of difference in the grand scheme of the known and unknown universe. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Of course not. Then again without evidence we really have no reason to believe in it. Going by that standard, we should believe every thing we are told, by anyone. | ||

This is exactly what Im saying. All I was looking for was for someone to say scentificaly, that we just dont know. Instead of pushing everything guys like Dawkins says as fact. | ||
