  Simple answer, please! Scientifically explain the origin of life coming from nothing!

  scientific method asserts nothing living can come from something non-living.

  science is observable, science is reproducible.

  a living thing coming from non-living matter has never been observed nor reproduced.. therefore, it takes faith in an unknown process to believe that that's exactly what happened in the beginning, with no evidence!.

  Oh my fucking god will you please listen.

  If I don't make a claim, I don't need to provide you with evidence.

  The correct answer to your question is 'we don't know', that's the honest truth, and it's neither a claim nor belief. Life could have arisen any which way possible.

  However, if I claim that a Magic Toaster created life, then who needs to provide evidence? It is the person that makes the claim. You are in that position, and so you hold that responsibility.

  This is a pointless thread and you have sucked me into it with your blatant buffoonery.

  I don't need to supply evidence, I'm not making the claim. That's the point.

  You make the claim God did it, I call BS and wait for science to figure out a proper answer.

  We keep telling you we don't know and you keep ignoring it.

  What are you trying to prove?

  DNA doesn't mean God created life. Scientists do not say DNA was the original life form on earth, for one. And when someone builds a house, they are merely changing the constitution of matter and rearranging the pieces of pre-existing materials to make something that we consider useful. The similarity is nonexistent. The creationist stance is not that god recombobulated matter to form living things, but that he spontaneously generated life from nothing.

  This argument is not a non-sequitur. If you can't find a valid reason to say life came from . . . 'nothing', it doesn't mean you jump onto the God bandwagon. It's also not wise to say because something is yet unknown that God did it. It's an argument from ignorance, and it's failed consistently for the last 5000+ years. Why would it start working now?

  We don't know how life got here.

  What we do know, in detail, is the process by which simple life became complex life through random mutation and natural selection. So to me, the idea of simple life being formed under the right conditions is not hard to envision.

  You however, posit an magic man in the sky that popped life into existence.

  I claim nothing, instead I tacitly admit I don't know.

  You claim God, yet you supply no evidence of this, so therefore I reject your claim and have no reason to change from my initial position - Agnostic Atheism.

  If anything this thread should be the other way round.

  "when data about the jewish calendar and astronomical calculations are factored in, a handful of possible dates result, with friday, april 3, 33, being the best match, according to the researchers.

  This is a backwards way of doing the research.

  There's no evidence an earthquake actually happened on Friday April 3rd. They just use the Bible's 'testimony', figured out the date and then said 'an earthquake must have happened this day.' If you're going to do that at least investigate the reliability of the source. ie. 0.

  i was raised in a witness family but never got baptized.

  i have been studying with an extended family member for a while after 20+ years of being away from the kingdom hall.

  i asked them about the paradise earth after armageddon and if we will become robots if we survive.

  It's quite simple really. God ethnically cleanses the earth of people that disagree with him, and then in the paradise, he selects individuals with traits he admires eg. stupid, gullible, submissive, and allows them to live, but other people with bad traits eg. skeptical, reasoning, rebellious he eliminates and doesn't allow them to procreate. A kind of 'artificial selection' if you will. Don't look too much into that, though. It could stumble your faith!
