If everything is as simple as you put it, go in a freakin lab and demonstrate it. Can you? No, you can't...so it must not be that simple now, is it?
No, it isn't that simple. I'm just trying to explain it to a simpleton is all.
BTW, I love the double standard of requiring demonstration of abiogenesis in a lab all while you cling to your religion that isn't able to demonstrate one iota of credible evidence.

That's actually naturalism, which despite the rumors, is not a prerequisite for atheism. The funny thing is, you're actually a naturalist for 99.9% of your life. I don't imagine that when your car breaks down on the highway that you start looking for invisible spirits or pray that it will fix itself. You just want to deny rules you use on a daily basis for one instance in order to maintain a comforting belief.
So, given naturalism is a highly functional view and no non-naturalistic argument cuts the mustard, it is the rational view to have.
That's all I've time to respond to right now.
