Wiser words were never spoken. 
I'm still really looking for a peer reviewed replicated experiment that was able to recreate abiogenensis in vitro.
If somebody can provide that to support the claim that abiogenensis is a fact, I will be very thankful and will retract all my statements.

Or no...you are positing some other supernatural force that you do not qualify as God? To be clear, what I am saying to you is: please come to your point.

We are all pretty familiar with the standard definition of "supernatural". What I'm asking, is for some examples that are not a god. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. RE: The origin of biology

I'm beginning to disbelieve your user name.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
