^ This. You do realize, theist, that you also believe in a start for life from non-life, don't you? The difference is you think it adds something to say it was done by magic. Inorganic material can never become organic material - unless a magic genie appears and causes it to happen. That is what you believe, isn't it? I don't suppose you ever bother to ask how a god comes to be. That much you are content to leave shrouded in mystery. But if anyone rejects your favorite genie, then you really think you've scored a decisive blow by pointing out holes in our understanding of the inorganic becomes the organic. Your primitive creation myth is far, far less complete. But you simply expect less from it.
