What Is The Origin Of Life?

quote:

I'll go along with this theory. We don't know how long a day is to God, or what his process was for forming life. I believe he did create the heavens and earth, and life. The timeline is not important to me.

This is an appropriate response to a question that has no answer, Autumn. I could find much to disagree with, of course, but only on a purely intellectual level.

Bill/Braylan's stupidity, however, is contagious and should be combated by every rational tinker (believer or otherwise).

Bill, please reread my post and take appropriate measures. The last section of my post, in green, address your question about me and my thoughts. Secondly, how would you know, really, how would you know what is in the video if you didn't watch it? I find it ironic that you benefit and use today's science and technology in every aspect of your life, yet you are dogmatic with ancient tales and beliefs.

Hi Miami,

Okay, to get us back on track; let me ask you a few more question: In the video, does your professor give a definitive answer to the question: What is the origin of life?

Does he specifically tell us how life came from non-life, defying all laws of science?

If so, how is that he can give this answer -- and no other scientists, including our own renown masters of science, Deep Fish, can do so?

Can you, and will you, answer these questions?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Thank you GoFish.

I believe in God for my reasons, you do not believe in God for your reasons. I could write pages on why I believe, you could write pages on why you do not. I think it would be a fruitless argument, for neither one of us is likely to change the other's opinion.

Hi Autumn,

But, we are called to be "seed planters" and "seed waterers" -- for you and I never know when a seed we planted or watered long ago -- may blossom forth into a new believer. It could even happen to our dear Friend, Fish.

Planting and watering is good. Trying to write it on a brick and beat it into someone's head is not.

Hi Autumn,

I appreciate your feedback. Please explain to me your understanding of planting and watering the seed of the Gospel.

Another title "Origin of Life" part 1 of 3. Excellent material.

Part 2.

Part 3.

Enjoy and feel free to comment.

Pale Blue Dot, nicely done!

Hi to all,

Why is it that our atheist Friends cannot answer the question: What is the origin of life?

They keep pointing to someone else, as if it say, "He will answer it for you." But not one single one of Friends from the Church of Atheism can tell us -- in their own words -- anything about the origin of life.

Okay, my atheist Friends, I will give you one more hint: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Oh, all right, one more hint: This is found in Genesis 1:1.

Happy hunting!

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

You are a lying baboon, Bill.

You have been provided with a valid scientific response quite a few times in this thread. You are simply too stupid to understand it.

Miamiz,

Even if the theory of panspermia is correct, it does not answer the question of the origin of life, it merely pushes it back.

It might be correct, but at some point life had to arise. Life on earth, made from stuff abundant here, seems more likely to me to be home-made.

Or pushes it to a different location.

That is the cool thing about science. To be able to rationally consider the possibility that life on this planety might have started elsewhere just makes me giddy.

There is a real possibility that we may find evidence for life on Mars in the very near future. If not there, then Europa or even inside the gas giants. That life (if we find it) will either be very similar to the primitive life forms we have on earth or will be so vastly different that it defies terrestrial classification.

Either way, it will provide a paradigm **** in our thinking of how life on Earth came to be.

I was just throwing a couple of things out there for Bill to consider. I'm a little disappointed that he didn't even have a look, or that if he did, he ignores any and all possibilities, except of course Genesis.

He could expand in his own words about why he believes that Genesis is valid, but I'm pretty sure we'll see some scripture ref.

Hi Fish,

Okay, for all we stupid people who have not recognized your explanation of the origin of life -- will you please, IN YOUR OWN WORDS -- NO URLs -- tell us the origin of life on earth.

Until you can, I will just have to continue believing what I know: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1).

Thank you, my Friend.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
