What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

Because life originating from simple molecular structures is considerably more plausible than a super-powered sentient being just being out there, for no particular reason --

Quote:Being our father he is there to guide and instruct us so we can become like he is. Life is truly miraculous. There is much we do not know or understand about it. I find intelligent design much more plausible than abiogenesis. There is more to life than the body.

-- and then resorting to the utterly baffling behaviours described in the Bible.  Seriously, planting two magical trees within reach of two unsophisticated humans with no moral knowledge, and then getting upset at them for failing an obedience test that they were incapable of comprehending until after they had failed it?

Quote:This was a type to show his children the importance of obedience. God knew that many of his children would choose a path opposite to happiness and many of them have done this because they love themselves more than they love others. Eve was aware she was disobedient. The trees were not magic, but they did contain the requires ingredients whether minerals or enzymes to complete the process.

No, I'll stick with organic chemistry and wait patiently for science to connect the dots.  I'm in no hurry.
