I would rather be alive than justified, proven right. Being alive allows you to see how things work out.

compound complex, wouldn't the bread he uses be symbolically tainted--. thought along the same lines, but that one is right symbolism, -because is he not talking about imperfect people adding to their sinful burden? unleavened bread would picture A&E, "jesus". I find the throw away part very offensive I worked once a whole week to pay for one whole grain bread. In many lands where wt expects growth, discarded food would not be thrown out but fed to the animals, composted, still a valuable commodity. The leaven of the Pharisees = irresponsible teaching showing in public.

Thank you for giving the reluctant non-viewers a preview. At least in the "Jesus" story, bread is used mostly in a positive way, life sustaining, a gift from the creator. Even the dogs were nourished from the crumbs that fell under the table. A crummy and crude comparison this, - obviously. -

A philosophical question .... what does the word God mean to you personally ?
by Finkelstein into myself it means to seek knowledge and understanding of are selves and the world in which we live.. unfortunately history has shown whenever one tries to connect to god and of his knowledge through men who say they themselves are connected to god through spiritual wifi ie.
gb members of the jehovah's witnesses for example, one usually ends up finding a accumulation of only man's acquired knowledge.
over thousands of years of trying to connect to a god(s) for help and answers, mankind has eventually relinquished himself to seeking answers through scientific investigative acquired knowledge of the world in which we live in.

The word "god" for me falls short of doing justice to the grandeur invested in existence, the cosmos. so does any personal [first] name. -

Evolution Hole #1 - Origin of Life
by shadow indisclaimer: my graduate degree is in business, not science so i'm writing as a layman in this field.
yes, i know that someone is going to say that evolution does not encompass this topic and should be sectioned off under abiogenesis.
i'm not trying to argue semantics here but it seems like a case of avoiding an uncomfortable subject.

"----interaction of chemical, biological--" It could hardly be biological, because "bio" was still in the future, when all the fortuitous circumstances came together. No doubt if we could observe it now, it would look quite natural, because it is. Words do matter. I am referring to the Einstein conversations about Wirklichkeit, The Reality that has it's root in Werken, work. I am not a theist, but the existence we live in calls for more than random fluctuations as their origin, IMO -

Ander Andersen: And would your position change when we do find or replicate these processes? Or would you then claim that they are not representative and/or created by intelligent life?
Yes, we eagerly await a replication of the start of the single life starting event. The re-creation of the starting conditions, the presence of the near magic catalysts. Trying ever since Louis Pasteur, Harold Urey,- not with inorganic materials either. and: yes , while applauding the success, the thought might just occur, hey, this was not a random event at all, it was work done well, in a laboratory, from the word "labor" = work. it works, because it is work
PS. Am I wrong to remember reading, that the idea of multiverses was introduced in part, because the odds of life combining purely by random events could not have happened in this universe, it's short time of 13.8 billion years?

The process of the life starting event should somehow be still present and functioning in present day life, evolutionary processes. comparable to the energy, background radiation, we can still trace back to the begining events. -
