My bullshit detector is locked permanently in the always-on position, and as a result my brain cannot generate any trust or faith in things that violate reality and for which there is no credible evidence.*Emphasis mine*
According to "reality" life only comes from life, yet...

Apparently you do hold beliefs in things that violate reality.
Rudimentary life had to have come from nonlife. No violation of reality here. Youre just treating life as some form of spirit instead of looking at it as a descriptor label for certain beings on this planet that can do stuff that suits the label.
