Can you even tell me how you've ruled out an unknown alternative? Or panspermia? Multiverse theory? Literally anything else, other than the one possibility you've presupposed, and the other that you've simply asserted without justification, based solely on your own ignorance and incredulity, is impossible? Just because you won't consider anything else, doesn't mean there are only two options, even if your fiat nothing were actually a rational argument.Concerning panspermia, you have the same problem as developing life on earth, any extra terrestrial life would have to have evolved from non-life. I don't see that as a major rebuttal of anything I've said. The multiverse theory is basically saying that other dimensions exist. This isn't in conflict with the Scriptures. The 12th century Hebrew scholar Nachmonides concluded from his studies of the book of Genesis that the universe has ten dimensions: four are knowable and six are beyond perception..
The rebuttal is that you've seemingly just pulled your odds out of thin air, and haven't based them on anything factual. All the rest was just to illustrate that "abiogenesis/intelligent design" is a false dichotomy, and by the way, going back and eliminating my other suggested possibilities- which were just there as throwaway suggestions to show that your claim is wrong from top to bottom- doesn't resolve the central issue, which is that you have not even started demonstrating that there are only two possibilities, and not more.
Now, is there any particular reason why you opted not to show us how you derived your odds, and why you seem to be selectively responding to questions so that you never answer for the utterly insubstantial nature of your claims?
