I'll be curious for any alternative plausible explanations for this.....
EVERY lifeform on Earth, humans, plants, bacteria, cells, ANYTHING with life originated with other life.
All trees come from living seeds from other trees, etc. There is no life that comes from nothing, even simple cells.
So God forming these things then putting his life force into it, him being the originator of life for the start of these things, is the only thing that makes sense.
If it was possible that life can just appear out of nothing, and all life on Earth just happened, why can't intelligent life do it? Instead of the billions of lifeforms on Earth that just happened to happen somehow, why can't we trace how they all originated and create any type of life we can imagine. Why would it still not be happening today? Why would it have stopped?
Also think about this, according to the bible, man was formed out of soil. Written long before we knew the properties of soil such as copper, iron, calcium, zinc, etc. Our bodies need all of those things to survive and function properly. What happens if you are deficient in copper, iron, etc. It certainly seems like we were formed from soil and the start of life was God's lifeforce going into us.
I can understand Agnostic thinking because of distrust from anything written, but for athiests, not believing life came from a God seems even harder to make sense of since no life on Earth originates from plain dead matter. Do you have alternative explanations?
