According to your own postulated standard that we can only believe that which we can experience, then yes. Do not blame me for the fact that you obviously cannot play the game by your own set of absurd rules. I find it amusing that falsifiability is one of your criteria for a valid belief and yet there’s apparently no way in your mind that abiogenesis could ever be falsified.

No, biogenesis attempting to prove abiogenesis is a wasted science. They haven’t even demonstrated that the proper amino acids can be formed, much less that they can self-assemble into self-replicating life. Add that to the fact that they are constantly changing what they believed the early Earth’s atmosphere was even like and you’re little belief has got some mortal wounds.

Yes, and it’s a statement I never made.

You’re leaving the debate again!?
