Evidence God Exists: Part II

[The_Flying_Skeptic]

So, god is in our collective consciousness is he? [What] is that supposed to mean?

Reminds me of 'Avatar' (2009 film) where the whole biology of planet Pandora was like a collective consciousness that was worshiped by the Na'vi warriors as theists worship their deities. I'm just trying to show how saying your deity is a collective consciousness is ambiguous hence not self-evident.

They're also aiming to synthesize life (an overlapping objective), and again genuine progress is being made.

Attempting to create artificial life and conducting experiments to determine the origin of life are two entirely different things. That's like saying that attempting to build a car from scratch in your garage is making progress in discovering who invented cars. Maybe it's you who's clueless.

If we can create life entirely from simple molecules that are common in nature, we can work backwards to find out how life can form according to natural events. I guess the 'who' in this process would be 'nature'.
