But completely failing to reproduce a scenario, and continuing to try for 500 years with no end in sight, is another (as with abiogenesis). At which point do scientists finally admit their experiments failed? For arguments' sake, let's say that the reality is that life cannot be produced from inanimate matter. At which point do scientific experiments prove that reality?Gravity, like life, is demonstrably real and can be observed as manifesting itself within reality, we still don't completely understand exactly how they work, we quintessentially have an 'incomplete jigsaw on the table' if you will; but to assume with loaded statements that we'll never fully understand how life came to be and should give up right now and believe in sky daddy is nothing more than an Argument from Incredulity. Are you omnipotent? Where did you arrive at that conclusion from? This is knowledge that neither you nor I have of whether these things are possible nor impossible to discern, and to assume answers when you have none is as arrogant as it is presumptuous.
Let's say scientists try to invent a time travel machine. After how much time will they finally realize that their experiments have proven that a time travel machine is an impossibility?
Like a time-travelling machine, I don't know if abiogenesis is possible, how do you know that it's not possible?
Quote:Are experiments for abiogenesis to remain open-ended and inconclusive for eternity?You are assuming the answers will never be found again, not to mention "eternity" is merely a concept that we made up.
Quote:Believers don't view God as supernatural. God is nature.Pantheism/Panentheism is but one (or two whichever) world-view of many. You don't speak for all believers Angel, who may hold differing beliefs in Monotheism, Deism, Henotheism or Monolatrism.
