Christianity Is The BEST Religion....

[Huggy Bear]

Apparently you do hold beliefs in things that violate reality.

There is strong evidence that there was no biological life before the Hadean period. For much of the time before that, life as we know it would be impossible. Once life as we know it became possible, we see the beginnings of fossil evidence for single-celled organisms. Life began, somehow. How does that 'violate reality'?

No one is disputing the fact that "life began somehow", the dispute is on whether or not life arose from non-life. Life only comes from life, that IS the reality. You cannot find one example in nature that proves otherwise.

If life is just chemistry, why can't we just chemically keep someone alive indefinitely? My cell phone can be powered indefinitely through chemistry, the human body... not so much.

Your cell phone won't last forever, genius. If we find a way to retard aging indefinitely, how will that affect your religious beliefs? I suspect not at all and the 'keep someone alive indefinitely' is just a red herring.

If I kept my cellphone supplied with fresh batteries and parts, yes it would last forever. A dead human is a dead human, no matter how young, or regardless of replacing any parts... so much for humans simply being just "chemistry".

If something is real, it is fact. Abiogenesis is not fact therefor it is not real.

A fact is something known to be true. Not everything that is true is a fact. It is a fact that coelacanths still exist.

true
1. In accordance with fact or reality.

It was true that they were real before we knew it for a fact.

Really? So you're saying something could be true without any evidence?

Abiogenesis in the biological sense is a hypothesis that is difficult to test. It meets all the requirements for a hypothesis in that it is a plausible explanation that fits what we already know to be true and there are no known mechanisms that would prevent it from being true.

But it is a fact that at one point there was no life on earth, that it must have started somehow, and the earliest detectable organisms were single-celled.

*emphasis mine*

That's a lie, because if there was nothing stopping abiogenesis from happening then it would happen...
