BTW I don't know what he'll do if he ever realizes what a bryophyte is and how old they are. That will freak him out. :D

it isn't possible for life to come from nonlife.

The fact that it has happened on at least one world (our Earth) means it is possible.

An argument is that life was created. That doesn't rule out evolution of course because once you add the yeast so to speak, it grows and changes independently. Of course I have no clue why things started, but Jesus didn't ride no tyrannosaurosesses.

Yeah, one of my university biology profs used the argument that a god *could* use evolution as a tool, in order to shut up a highly vocal, ignorant bible thumper in class. That people can nit-pick that for which we have abundant evidence, yet have no problem with swallowing the whole hocus-pocus god did it act without any evidence is really hilarious.

Why do people assume that the commonly given age of 65m for dinosaurs is accurate? I don't. The bible makes a whole lot more sense than evolution to me now that I've read up on evolution and how it isn't possible for life to come from nonlife.

Aren't evolutionists unable to explain how life came from non life?

Why? how old does the Bible say dinosaurs are?

Yes, I remember fondly, the day Jeezus rode into Bethlehem on a dinosaur...What a day of celebration that was...

We all KNOW he's right...humans lived with dinosaurs for hundreds of years...and according to the historical documentaries on the television...even kept them as pets and domestic livestock.

The Bible is bafflingly silent on this issue.

maybe it's because Noah couldn't fit them into his little boat...so it was better to just ignore the fact that there USED to be dinosaurs...just like the bible ignores the prior existence of dragons and unicorns...:p

Are you serious ?

You have it seems not a slightest clue how nature works. Atoms have a certain way of behavior in an electromagnetic waves rich environment. Life will happen always when there is energy to power life. You know nothing. The Earth is not unique, although the garden of eden is sure similar to Earth from a certain perspective.


EDIT:
It is all about self assembly. With enough elements, you get a tool set or as some would call it a language to describe cyclic systems.

Oh crap, this retard has been let out of P&N. If anyone wants to know how much of a nut the OP is, just look at his threads in P&N.

Scientists do attempt to explain how life came from non-life with abiogenesis.

The problem with that is all the experiments either:

1) Involve an intelligent scientist
2) Require millions of years and/or a time machine

So you have to pretty much take it on faith that life arose spontaneously from the chemicals and energy present on early earth. There's no way to conduct sound science that proves the timeline. Evolution that requires millions of years is not a testable scientific theory, it is proposed history.

Someone will post the font color-change paragraph as a visual analogy, but it's not comparable, since there is no way to directly observe or test past events. You have to make assumptions about (i.e. put faith in) past events regardless of whether you accept the current scientific chronology or biblical chronology.

Except that one has real evidence and one is just a book of fairy tales. :)

Of course not that'd be silly and stupid. He rode feathered raptors.
