Yes, I'm going to tell you science is hard.
Research to develop a commercial fusion reactor has been ongoing since at least the mid 1960's, with no end date in sight. You, apparently, would conclude that such a pursuit is impossible (if not, you would at least offer "It's impossible" as "one possible explanation", right?) I conclude, "science is hard."
Interesting that you didn't acknowedge that "Christ as messiah is a bunch of crock" is "one possible explanation", since drawing that conclusion would completely parallel your argument (and your newly explained "motive") for offering that explanation in the "life from nothing" discussion.
If you want to use words such as "highly improbable", "unlikely", "questionable", or whatever, feel free.
The point is that you are clearly stating a negative conclusion about research which you perceive as "anti-Christian" ("life from nothing", for example), using as justification deeply flawed reasoning. Yet when that same flawed reasoning can be applied to a pro-Christian "theory" (the second coming of Christ, for example) or to some scientific research that is neutral with respect to Christianity (failed attempts at nuclear fusion, for example) you don't seem quite so disposed to draw a parallel, negative conclusion. One might conclude from this obvious inconsistency a lack of principle (aka "hypocrisy") and a willingness to engage in intellectual dishonesty.
