I, for one, was previously giving you the benefit of a doubt and simply enumerating known scientific facts, expecting you to either ask for clarification or produce contrary evidence for us to examine. If you *want* me to roll up a journal article and whack you across the nose with it and scold "Bad theist! Bad theist!" then I guess that's where we're going with this.
I missed the post where you enumerated known scientific facts. I just saw a mention of abiogenesis. Sure, post some papers.
Back in the Dilbert TV show, Dogbert said he had solid anecdotal evidence supporting his latest scam. Dilbert of course claimed that he didn't believe anecdotal evidence, he only believed scientific evidence. Dogbert said, No, you believe what the mass media tells you about scientific evidence. And that was correct. Few people read peer-reviewed journals. They're generally expensive, and frequently require quite a bit of education in the covered field just to understand the material. How many journals do you subscribe to? How frequently do you read more than an abstract - if even that? Do you actually get your science knowledge from popular sites and mass media?
