Quote:yes, the allel frequencies within a species change over time, no that does not inherently mean that we evolved from Apes.

 

Yes, you can get amino acids to form under certain conditions.  If going from atoms to a living cell were listed out in a thousand steps you just successfully demonstrated numbers 3-6. In the event that we reach the mid hundreds then we might have something to talk about.  

 

And i have no problem that your faith Guides you to believe that there will be a natural explanation for the existence of life and the origin of the universe.  I am sad that you can't admit that it is a faith.  

 

We can debate all we want about an omniscient creator, what we cannot debate is that no one here is omniscient.  In the absence of this trait then there are invariably things that we don't know and cannot be sure of even in the simplest decisions and assumptions that we make every day.  We may have belief based on previous experience that our cars will start in the morning but we don't go out and actually inspect the coil packs spark plugs and starter every morning.  We may read something in a book about an experiment that was conducted or a discovery that was made and we accept or reject its findings based on what we have already experienced and observed.  Each of us has our own unique filters for what qualifies as credible or not.  That's why you feel comfortable linking me to a page and don't feel the need to duplicate the results of the above experiment.  That's not a slight its just a fact.  

 

truth is infinite.  Any on persons understanding is finite.  the bridge that we as human beings use between our own consciousness to interact with the real world is FAITH the ability to perceive beyond ourselves.  I cringe to see so many hide from the thing that forms the very basis of what separates us from the rest of the inhabitants of this planet.

Let me get this straight. You attempt to criticize people for their "lack of knowledge of the subject matter" than throw that nonsense out there? You know what makes me cringe? That you guys still say the bolded above. 

 

Is it the whole story? No of course it's not. Only one side of this argument claims to have all the answers when some things are unknowns. What those things do show is the abiogenesis is possible and is a promising hypothesis. More research is clearly needed and is being done. That's what science does. It takes unknowns and studies them until they are known.
