Did you see the word god anywhere in this post?

You're right; it's good to know the difference between near and far.

RE: The origin of biology
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.

So...yes you are positing God? 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.

Hmmm...I don't believe anyone actually made that claim. Curious.

Yes. 

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.

So...are you suggesting that math and logic created life from non-life? This is getting good! *grabs popcorn*

Are claiming that mathematics and logic are supernatural?

Please explain...
