Quote:500 years is enough time.
Says who? Why should there be a time limit on scientific experiments? There are many theories out there that scientists may still be looking to prove a thousand years from now. Anti-matter, curved space and string theory are some of these things. Science has not been able to achieve Absolute Zero. Does this mean it's impossible?
Quote:Most experiments would be deemed failures after a fraction of that time.
A failed experiment doesn't mean the theory is wrong. Galileo concluded that objects of varying weights fall at the same speed. But I can "prove" that theory wrong by dropping a chicken feather and a ball bearing at the same time. The ball bearing will hit the floor way before the feather does. This experiment failed! But, of course, this experiment fails to take air resistance into account. Could be the same thing with abiogenesis. We just haven't yet figured out all the things that need to be considered.
Quote: But scientist, particularly atheist scientists, will continue to try to prove abiogenesis for a million years.
And they may never be able to prove it definitively. We have no way of knowing exactly the chemical makeup of the oceans three billion years ago. We may never be able to replicate the exact circumstances that led to the creation of life. And just because we can't does not mean that life was created by an invisible supernatural being.
Quote:Anything but consider the possibility that life was originated by God.
Okay... what experiment can science perform that would lead us to the conclusion that life originated with your deity? Yeah... nothing. So why would scientists waste their time messing around with something that is unprovable and not falsifiable? Should scientists consider the possibility that life originated with a magical troll?
Quote:Atheists are so quick to support, and even staunchly believe in, the hypothesis of abiogenesis, which is based on unfounded theories,
Lots of things are based on "unfounded theories". Gravitational theory, for example. Have you ever seen a gravitron? The key is that these theories are FALSIFIABLE. And the theory of abiogenesis has not been falsified, despite, as you put it, 500 years of experimentation.
Quote:and yet attack theists for believing in a deity who supposedly lacks evidence.
Supposedly?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
