@ Paul- I know you can't manipulate the world on a molecular level or create genetics of any kind on your own. What I am suggesting is that, if there was a human being capable of that, would it still be magical just because he did it without tools or equipment, or is it scientific because there was a natural explanation for what he did? Or, is it both? Magic with a scientific explanation does not negate the fact that it is magic.
As for supporting the idea of whether a God was necessary or not, I don't think it supports the antithesis at all. In my mind, it simply proves that a.) a sentient consciousness had to be present in the formation of life from nothing, and/or b.) that it is possible in the first place to create life from nothing.
@ tavarish- I don't understand your point about curing diseases, so please elaborate.
You have a good point about having used our hands and minds to create tools along the way, but what I am proposing is the idea of whether or not it is scientifically possible to create life from scratch, with nothing at all. Is it possible for a human being to do so?
EDIT: Now you're just fucking ranting, Tav.
