(May 17, 2010 at 5:58 pm)AngelThMan Wrote:AngelThMan Wrote:The lack of evidence for abiogenesis is my evidence...This was meant to be more of an expression, semi-slogan, if you will, for my OP. But a lot of you took it too literally, as a lot of replies were built around the premise that "lack of evidence is not evidence." I just wanted to point out that it is not lack of evidence that I am presenting as evidence, but the results of 500 years of failed experiments. That's what my evidence is for God's existence. 500 years of scientific experiments have demonstrated that life cannot be created from inanimate matter.
So lets imagine AngelThMan in 1900.
'Men have been trying to build flying machines for over 2000 years. Some of the greatest minds in history, Leonardo da Vinci for one, have tried and failed. We still, after all of those centuries of effort, lack any sort of viable artificial flight. From this I conclude that flying machines are downright impossible- only GOD can make things that fly. And this is clear evidence for the existence of a Christian GOD, and for the truth of the entire Bible.'
Then comes December 17th, 1903.

People don't understand how to do things, until they do.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
