  arguing with those who reject scientific evidence can be like arguing about football; just as angry and passionate, but the goalposts keep moving, and one team doesn't exist.. read more here....

  If you really want help from all that I urge you and orphan to pick up a bible and read through ...everybody should read the bible and with a very critical eye - Looter

  I read the bible many times. I object to slavery - therefore your god is beneath my contempt.

  I started this as a bit of amusing satire about irrational creationists.

  Rattigan if you are aware of even one single shred of scientific evidence for creationism please share it.

  By the way how are you defining "God"?

  Is there even a remote possibility of getting back on topic?

  By the way the topic is how frustrating it is trying to hold a rational conversation with a creationist. Ha!

  Vidqun - Just for the record I think you had a really interesting job. But I also think you were wrong to try to use your scientific qualifications to lend authority to your religious opinions.

  Life comes from existing life. That fact has been proved by science. - Vidqun

  Yes life does comes from existing life but there was a time that earth contained no life.

  Originally life emerged from non-living prebiotic conditions. Exactly how that happened is still an unproven hypothesis. It will be solved.

  Here are the requirements for the origin of life...

  1 - A continuous supply of reactive carbon for synthesising new organics.

  2 - A constant flux of free energy to drive metabolic biochemistry - the formation of new DNA, amino acids & proteins.

  3 - Inorganic catalysts

  4 - Removal of the waste product of chemical reactions

  5 - Compartmentalisation - a cell-like structure to allow the accumulation of products and separate them from the outside environment

  6 - Hereditary material - RNA, DNA or equivalent

  All of these conditions were found in Alkaline hydrothermal vents under the Hadean oceans 4 billion years ago. The details are being investigated by microbiologists and geochemists. It will be solved. Where will god hide then? Cosmology?

  Edited to add - Of course DNA was not "found" in hydrothermal vents 4 billion years ago. Explaining how RNA formed in that environment is one of the challenges.
