Not aliens from outer space, not Harry Potter, and not the tooth fairy. Therefore, all experiments conducted in the area of life's origin have an underlying design to either prove or disprove God's existence. So whenever results fail to explain something scientifically, then it is not illogical to conclude that such results point towards the existence of God.
So, god is in our collective consciousness is he? Wtf is that supposed to mean?
As Zen Badger says, scientists aren't interested in proving or disproving god. Saying otherwise is (yet again) a display of your appalling ignorance of science. What scientists are trying to do is to produce a naturalistic explanation of the origins of life- and they're making real progress. They're also aiming to synthesize life (an overlapping objective), and again genuine progress is being made.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
