Abiogenesis is no more a "theory" than is god-did-it.  Both are assumptions.  We assume that eventually a reasonable theory regarding the manner in which inorganic chemistry crossed the barrier into the organic variety will emerge.  You on the other just assume that god did it and have no expectation of ever understanding how.  You're fine with going without a theory forever since you assume human beings just aren't up to it.

That is not true. I do have expectations that it will indeed be proven that there is a spirit and that the body without the spirit is dead. People who have NDEs have described the silver cord mentioned in the Bible.

Aaaaand once again changing the topic in mid flight.

And once again with the switch.

There are many topics related to ID and abiogenesis, so what?

Tell that to magic book.  Correct me if I'm wrong..but it does say that djinn made life where once there was none..does it not?  

Mud, was it, and magic breath?

Just because you can not understand the science behind life is no reason to believe it is magic. Neither is the spirit magic, it is the life of the body.

Edit: we can look into other aspects in detail, too... but let's address them one at a time.

There was a person involved in an automobile accident and had a NDE. His spirit left the body just before the accident happened. Some people have reported that they can leave their body at will (astral projection).  In fact most NDEs are accounts of the spirit leaving the body before the body dies.

You're promoting SATAN !!!!

God is the God of the living which includes Moses and Abraham:

(New Testament | Matthew 22:31 - 33)

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?  God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
