Answer to question 2): Yes
Answer to question 1): Thinking about it...and I am seriously trying to answer your question...I guess I would have to conclude simply that my real objection is that it is not consistent with my presuppositions (hence the yes answer above and the reason why I think TAG is a more consistent position to take than an evidentiary argument for God as I said somewhere else in this thread). And based on this conversation, I certainly understand better your position regarding abiogenesis would be consistent with your presuppositions and how my objections because of my presuppositions don't really affect your position on the matter.
Nonsense. TAG is simply your own mental desire, a reflection of your wishes. Just like the Ancient Egyptians really really really truly believed in their gods. A gap answer is a gap answer. A bad guess is a bad guess. That was then, this is now. It was understandable back then when humans didn't know any better and did not have our modern scientific knowledge. Trying to retrofit modern science to prop up an old book of mythology does not work.
