Hi Nagel,

That all sound fine -- except for one small detail. WHERE DID LIFE COME FROM?

Keep in mind that these were simple, LIFELESS cells floating in some primordial swamp. Since life cannot be generated from non-life -- HOW DID THE LIFE OCCUR?

Puzzling, right?

for someone who says he believes in God, you sure do spend a lot of time selling him short.

easy. when God created the matter and pattern with which he created the universe, he designed it so that when the primoradal pudding reached a certain predetermined complexity, life would spontainiously burst forth, and drive the growth at previously unobtainable speeds. what took billions of years would now only take millions.

except on little thing... the cells weren't lifeless.. is a paramicium lifeless? is an aeomeba?
the proteins and amino acids and enzymes wern't "alive" but they weren't lifeless either. they just were not alive, as in, self-cognizent.
is a tub of yogurt self aware? by no means.. but it's definately alive.

life can generate from non life. life can generate from a spark plug, if god decides that it should be so.

fortunatly, we don't have to go that far.
the protiens and amino acids and enzymes kept collecteing and combining, changing and recombining, and adding more and more until they went from inert basic building blocks to something with a purpose.

granted, that purpose was simplistic and 2 fold...
1 - eat and grow
2 - don't get eaten.

eventually it's purpose got more complex as it grew and spread.

anyway.. there ya go.

Bill asks where did life come from and he answers, God. I ask where did God come from?

i'll get back to you, if and when i figure that one out.
the bible says god is was and ever shall be.
/snicker.

it's possible that at this time we aren't capable of grasping the nature of god and where he came from.
that's not an evasion, and i'm not saying it's the truth.. just submiting it as a possibility.

perhaps when we have studied and explored sciences and maths for another few thousand years we'll be able to figure out where god came from.

anyway.. like i said, i'll get back to you one it.

You might begin with some actual evidence that God even exists. So far, I have heard none.

To give you something to whine about.

OK, that's enough of you. I have found that putting most of the nitwits on ignore makes for a more pleasant reading experience. I keep reading them as long as they are amusing, but when they go Glen Beck on me, off with their heads.

then that means you have yourself on ignore?
heh...

fair enough. .you stopped being interesting a while ago. now you're just a generic troll, and opie has taken over the slot of entartainment you used to hold.

how much wit does it take to hang around a religion forum and shout NUH UH GOD'S A PHONY at the end of every post? my 12 year old can out think you.
