It's more believable that we were created by a naughty child of GOD as it thrives on dominating butt sniffing monkeys and commanding them to obey it. I mean seriously folks if you could create a universe what good would humans do you ?



Wow!
According to the bible.
Good seed was set/ planted
And weeds / snares were spotted among the good seed.
It was asked if they should be uprooted.
But in the interest of the good seed and not uprooting the good with the bad.
This was not done.
The separation of the good from the bad will take place at the harvest.
So according to this parable those you speak of could be of the weed snare type some refer to as of their father the devil meaning bad seed.
However
According to the bible your suggestion has basis
And so do those of light or good seed.

Good seed? Good for WHAT?
The thing that intrigues me the most is the similarity that all mammals share. And why do all living things evolve if nature can't create anything?

Supreme intelligence? Maybe, but I think think there is zero evidence to disprove anything like the existence of an entity of which we speak and I think it is equal to the evidence FOR the existence of such. If you have some evidence, it would be interesting to look at.

Grugore says to deny the existence of a supreme being is to deny reality, or something like that. It appears that you and he and I disagree as to what that supreme being or higher power might be.

To be honest I haven't a clue but I feel very strongly that it is not the god described in the bible stories. To me, if that were the nature of "God" it would be a sad day indeed. Maybe there are a couple, one being that mean one in the old testament and the other the one who decided to try to find out how hard it is to be human and let part of himself become human to find out, although I'm still not buying into any virgin birth or miracles or being raised from the dead and such.

Who knows. Until I see for myself, I'll have to stick with science and my own experience.

My dalliances here are my persona unrecognized. I chose the path of least resistance. Happiness.

However something such as IVF/ other unknown has occurred in multiple cultures on multiple continents the Mohawk also have a oral tradition of conception with out male. In fact they have 2 one with light 1 with water.
It is still taught but without the 4 day ceremony.. More than 100 songs relay histories, including origins.

Reoccurring themes cross cultures and continents fascinate me.

Good reason to think it wasnt of bible origin. I know some predate the bible. I too find it facinating.

You and I appear to be having two different conversations.
My apologies.

The most fascinating circle isn't it origin.

You need to define 'nothing' or your argument falls apart in the definition stage.

Bear in mind that your attempt is to qualify on a scientific basis the science's inability to support the concept of abiogenesis. For that reason , your definitions and principles must necessarily be applicable to both, the science and the metaphysical 'reality' you are declaring by your final statement.

Now, you can legitimately state that you claim no relationship between science and metaphysics but if you do so, you remove your argument from the realm of rational debate.

Either way, a failure to define 'nothing' leaves both of your principles unsupported. In other words, you are basing your entire argument on an ethereal assumption.

Horus of Egypt is but one example. Predates Christ by a bit. Its interesting about virgin births, it seems the women involved never have any say in whether or not they are going to bear the God's offspring. Hmm

Did you mean nothing=absence of everything or absence of a specific something?

It was about 3 billion yrs before life sbowed up in the fossil record. All before that was blank. It was about a billion more years before anything more than bacterial life appears. How long has man been studying it! Like 0.000000000000001% of that time? Is it any wonder why we havent seen it happen again?


The heavy elements are created by supernovas. Everything in us and on earth was at one time space dust and inside stars. We can find evidence in other galaxies of these same elements.

Now if there are billions of stars and planets in the universe, then whatever lucky accident created life in this solar system and on planet earth has got to have occurred mathematically some place else, if there is no God. Yet as far as we know, we are it. Everywhere else is just dead matter and energy. And we have not been here very long. If there is no God then our existence has no more meaning than any other space debris randomly spinning around the universe. Yet even the most ardent Atheist believes that somehow his existence is very important.
