Hi Aoi,
I recently listened to Richard Dawkins speak as part of a panel discussion. He mentioned that perhaps life came from an extraterrestrial source. Is that not vaguely similar to "naked humans created from the dust"? Really, the question of life's origin may be more thought-provoking than you take it to be. Why do you feel that God is not an alternative explantation?
Umm no. The basic elements that form life is easily found in nature and is abundant is space as well, and that is why it is plausible that life exists in other places as well, and we(as in life on earth) could have originated somewhere else prior to reaching this planet. That is why I said "we don't know".
Now regarding the goddidit claim, it is just that, a baseless claim not backed by any semblance of evidence. There is no evidence for God to begin with, and the religious texts with it's idiotic explanations don't help your case in any way.
