What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?
RE: What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?
Quote:Francis Crick believed the origin of life was almost a miracle. He thought life might have been seeded from another planet.

Crick considered it possible life could have started somewhere else . He never stated it as a fact . and nor does it matter . And no ID is a overwhelmingly religious movement . And saying life was seeded by aliens only pushes the problem back .


Quote:.so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going. But this should not be taken to imply that there are good reasons to believe that it could not have started on the earth by a perfectly reasonable sequence of fairly ordinary chemical reactions. The plain fact is that the time available was too long, the many microenvironments on the earth's surface too diverse, the various chemical possibilities too numerous and our own knowledge and imagination too feeble to allow us to be able to unravel exactly how it might or might not have happened such a long time ago, especially as we have no experimental evidence from that era to check our ideas against.
As for the miracle quote here is what creationists leave out or distort . He's talking about problems in research of his time . Not that life is a literal miracle .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
