I know you won't believe it but failure to convince a moron of it is no knock against abiogenesis and/or evolution. Your demeanor is no substitute for gross ignorance.

I ask..because if it turns out that anything short of tinkergod making you from mud is somehow "happenstance"..earlier, all you were saying reduces to; "God"is the epitome of excuses and explanations for those lacking the intelligence or credibility to understand science. What surprises me is, that with all the mountains of evidence in suppirt of evolution, and the lack of evidence for this deity, that anyone could actually believe in intelligent design. Especially when you take into account all the faults in the human genome. If there is a designer, he's incompetent.

Why do you believe in happenstance anyway?(emphasis is mine) There is actual science and there is science such as what I refer to as happenstance science. Abiogenesis is a terminology where there are many hypotheses and NO clear answers. This type of science can only be described as a belief and not actual science. With so many guesses as to how life began the best you have is a hunch. Your conclusion is entirely based on a guess that is so far fetched it is in the realm of being completely impossible. 
How exactly did God create everything by happenstance? Did he use happenstance magic?
Was Jesus happenstance? Feel free to send me a private message.

It is true that living things can adapt to their environment. However, what I am discussing is abiogenesis. In other words intelligent design or happenstance.

Quote:Definition of happenstancewhich is not how abiogenesis or evolution occur . So your appeal to dictionary fails  Quote:It is true that living things can adapt to their environment. However, what I am discussing is abiogenesis. In other words intelligent design or happenstance.Which are not the categories in question Quote:There is actual science and there is science such as what I refer to as happenstance science. Abiogenesis is a terminology where there are many hypotheses and NO clear answers. This type of science can only be described as a belief and not actual science.
