solid proof of evolution

Darth Omar said:
No, the best evidence we have says the probability of life occurring by chance is small: no one has ever witnessed it and we can’t even make it happen when we try. It’s a sound, evidence-based conclusion.

An assumption is an assumption whether it has could or would in front of it.

You get points for the ‘could’ though.

Of course, "we can’t even make it happen when we try" because we don't know how to make it happen. Yet.

It probably is still happening. But such primitive life forms wouldn't be able to compete with the more evolved life forms that already swarm the planet, and would almost immediately be consumed.

There have been almost endless assertions on this thread that it "only happened once."

How in the world would anyone know that to be true, either billions of years ago or in the past few minutes?

actually that’s another ground rule of science. All knowledge is tentative.

God is the most parsimonious explanation since it only requires introducing one extraneous factor instead of an infinite number of them.

Also, the multiverse just kicks the can of infinite regression down the road.

Hence, an infinite mind behind the universe is a rational philosophic conclusion.

"an infinite mind behind the universe" is just wishful thinking, an attempt to avoid thinking about the universe.

How do you know that this is the only planet that life formed (not evolved) on? If life had formed on a different planet, and not here, and evolved into intelligent life forms, would they be arguing that there must be a higher power at work?

how do you know that God did not create life on other planets that worship and honor him as God?......who knows, maybe they never sinned......

just for clarification, the argument here is that it never happened.......you guys are the ones who think it happened once.......
