Assuming you are talking about life arising from non-life via naturalistic mechanisms: Really? It's as simple as that? Then please explain the mechanism for all of us. Don't hold back. I do have a degree in Chemical Engineering and have worked with technology for the past 34 years. I know I would be able to understand where you are coming from. Just lay it out for us.
Quote:In the decade or so I've been hanging out on forums like this one not a single solitary Christian has come up with a valid explanation of why life can't happen without god.
So somehow it is the Christian's burden to prove that life can't happen without God? Nonsense. Since you would be the one asserting the positive that life can happen without God, the burden would be on you. Can you show that life can't happen with God? Would it be reasonable for me to charge you with the burden of proof there? I think not.
Great! As a chemical engineer with 34 years of experience, you should be uniquely suited to finally explain to all the ignorant atheists which physical laws are violated by naturalistic abiogenesis and evolution. Help us understand why it can't happen without god. Once you have done that you can share with us why you think it had to be your god and not Mbombo.
Since you have brought your qualifications in this field of study why don't you tell us a little more about them? Being a chemist doesn't automatically mean you know anything about biology. What do you know about recent research in areas such as RNA formation or Sulfur Iron world? What makes your opinion more trustworthy than that of someone like Bradley Bucar, author of RNA Oligomerization in Laboratory Analogues of Alkaline Hydrothermal Vent Systems? Because he obviously doesn't believe god was required, and he is actually working in the field of abiogenesis. As such, I'd probably hold his views on this subject in higher regard than those of someone that has spent most of their life developing pesticides or coatings. Unless of course, you can tell us why what he is doing is impossible without your god.
