    You're butthurt. I understand.

    Fundie. Is that an accusation or a confession? Please clarify.

    Questioning in what way?

    I have questions about biological emergence.


    But I assume you mean questioning the premise that single celled primitive life emerged as a result of natural physical and chemical processes?

    Darth Omar was questioning the inorganic to organic transition to life.

    I am not going to categorically rule out that biological emergence could have been an act of providential design.

    But to practice wholesale skepticism that the conventional laws of chemistry and physics could not result in the jump from a pre-biotic soup to bio-molecules and cellular structure is a leap too far for me.

    Science is founded on skepticism.

    Many physicists do not consider life to be magic. The distinction between the organic and inorganic was disputed in the early 20th century by Schrodinger and others.

    Abiogenesis would be based on the idea that an absolute distinction exists between the two. Without that conceptual model, we can see all forms of matter as universal without the special category of life.

    Not absolute skepticism, which would make knowledge impossible.

    I said wholesale skepticism, aka inordinate skepticism, exaggerated skepticism, immoderate skepticism - take your pick.

    Inference to the best explanation would weigh the probability of conventional physical and chemical processes to be more likely, than a miraculous act of divine intervention.

    It's a question only someone who is completely ignorant of the theory of evolution would ask. Someone like a creationist.

    Not possible. Mars has not changed in size. There is no such thing as 'planetary science'.

    What water erosion features?

    I rarely see that kind of commitment demostrated on message boards from most self-identified Christians. I periodically attend church myself, but I refrain from calling myself a devout, practicing Christian.
