No, we have strong evidence. Not “proof”.

So why do you believe such nonsense?

Because it’s not nonsense, it’s the most likely scenario because of the overwhelming evidence.

You claim Christians/Muslims/etc are the ones with faith? Do you now see how religious you really are?

Why do you get into your car and drive to work every day? Aren’t you afraid it could fall apart?

No, because there is overwhelming evidence that it isn’t going to do it. You can’t PROVE that your car won’t fall apart or turn into a dragon, eat you, and excrete you out its tailpipe. But the evidence is overwhelmingly telling you that that’s a stupid idea.

The same overwhelming type of evidence tells us the way life began was a favorable combination of chemicals, not a man with a long white beard coughing up some soul-snot into Mr. Dirt-Clump’s nostril and then yanking out a rib. But your mileage may vary.

“That’s not reality, that is faith and hope! No proof and no reason to assume it could happen.”

So thousands of species of animals and plants LIVING TODAY, being very similar to each other, but differing just enough to meet specific conditions of ecosystems they are living in, are not proofs for you?
Asian elephants/African elephants, many species of bats (some eating fruits, other insects, some sucking animal and human blood..)…you name them! Millions of examples!

Then: Lucy, Sinanthropus pekinensis, Ardi (Archipitecus ramidus), Homo erectus, Homo ergaster, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo heidelbergensis…..just WHAT would YOU say all of them were, if someone asked you? And I am asking you: WHAT WERE ALL OF THEM?

Humans DID evolve in different directions, it is proved without any doubt.

And the chance an abracadabra creature made life from dut (dirt, mud…) is 100%.
So you do not have to prove it, of course. Why would you?
Don’t you think you have some problems with logic here?

Not if he doesn’t make it a problem!

You see, he is using the famous “One-Sided Burden of Proof” method. Things you like to believe in don’t require any proof at all. But for things you don’t like, no amount of evidence is satisfactory, cherry-pick holes in data, etc.

Do we have proof that life crawled out of primordial soup? No, we don’t.

Yet.

Just to make an analogy, we didn’t have proof of the earth orbiting the sun… yet… 500 years ago, either. And if you lived then, you probably would have insisted it was impossible, and been in the front row of pitchforkers yelling out “HERETIC!”

Fortunately, in these enlightened times, unlike those uneducated peasants, you have a chance to examine your silly beliefs against mountains of evidence that hardworking people have assembled through blood, sweat and tears. Use it!

The chances of life evolving from non-life is zero, You must prove it happened and you have not.

The guy who thinks a hand came down from the sky and made people out of dirt and blew souls into them with a magic sneeze, is suddenly concerned with a burden of proof? Really?

When are you going to start trying to prove that the first woman came from a sparerib? Any lab experiments going on trying to synthesize a living female pig from Chinese takeout that I am unaware of?

With an intelligent designer behind the process, the chances become much greater and possible.

Well, since you just said that it’s impossible for life to come from non-life, then where did the intelligent designer? What created the intelligent designer? Intelligent Designer Sr.?

It’s not, which is why Darwinism creates the same fervor that religion does in the human species. Darwinism is a religion that requires faith and priest to tell the followers what to believe. It has be wrong so many times I have lost count.

WHY are you, and all believers discussing here avoiding to say what god are you believing in?
WHY are you hiding your beliefs?

Do you believe biblical god created earth and man the way descibed in the Bible?

It is an open and very simple question. Are you able to answer it?
