your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.
k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.
in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.
I think homochirality is a millstone around the neck of abiogenesis. I think the first proteins couldn't arise from a primordial soup with only racemic ingredients. - RedPill
How much time have you spent investigating this so-called problem? Did you know it was solved years ago? Guess what? It turned out not to be magic!
I have explained it to Kate at least three or four times but she just keeps singing lalalalalala....
I'm busy right now but I will explain it later.

Do you mean the SBF who parrots the nonsensical postmodern gibberish of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault?

He knows many things that we do not and must therefore have reasons for everything that we may not be privy to. - Sevan
Don't you see what you are doing? You have created a magic get-out clause that makes all of your beliefs perfectly safe from evidence to the contrary.
No matter what somebody might say about god's ethics or the errors in the bible or theodicy or any other thing you only have to reply that god is true because of "reasons".
Is this a reliable way to discover what is true?

the concept that everything, in all its wonder and complexity, just got here by chance, does not and cannot make rational sense to me
That is a common misunderstanding. The scientific answer to the origin of complexity is about natural selection not random chance.
Please take a few minutes to read the following post that explains it in more detail.
Evolution is a Fact #27 - Monkeys, Typewriters, Shakespeare, 747s etc...

this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.
i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..
“Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. ...Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." - Numbers 31

When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. - Deut 21
Let's review..
The god of Jesus commands, commit genocide against other nations but if you see a virgin you want, kidnap her, shave her head, wait a month and then you can commence raping her.
