I know I am late to the party concerning this bit of stupidity, but I just can't help myself anyway. Hell, I didn't get too much sleep last night, so I need an easy target today.
Evolution does NOT explain the origins of life, only the diversity of life once it already exists.
It's not natures fault that abiogenesis is a more rational hypothesis than your pet god idea.
Everything within our current understanding of chemistry points to the probability that life began from nonliving organic molecules.
Scientists from the Scripps Institute created self replicating RNA enzymes, that evolve, several years ago. It was done again in Cambridge in the UK. Self replicating RNA enzymes were the precursors to RNA, which is the precursor to DNA.
So, it would seem science produced actual evidence for abiogenesis. Still waiting for same for your god.....
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
