Genesis Creation vs. Darwin's Macroevolution Myth

[popeyespappy]

I simply cannot wait to watch this slide off of you like water off a duck's back!

More like shit through a goose. Food in crap out.

Oh man guys! That pile of contradictory dog shit disguised as words convinced me. Hail Jesus.

First off, I see this all stems from a Watchtower?
Yeah.... been there, done that.

Second, any time an argument starts with the whole either god exists & created life as is..... or no god exists & life must have formed spontaneously, it's already starting on shaky ground.

You could believe:
A- a god exists and created all life as we see it today. (I assume that's your position)
B- a god exists and created generic "life" which then evolved into everything we see today (This is actually not all that uncommon)
C- no god exists and life formed and evolved through purely natural processes (This is probably what you think of when you think atheist)
D- no god exists and life did not evolve (This is a very bizarre and rare position, but there's nothing inherently "against the rules" for this either)

Does that clarify?
You need to stop talking about belief in god/origin of life/evolution of life as though they're all super-glued together in single positions, because they're not.

All of this is believed to have been accomplished by itself (abiogenesis), without input from a supernatural God aka Jehovah who intervened and guided the outcome. Non-living matter simply decided one day to come to life--by itself--and bring forth intelligent life by unintelligent means.

Even if the rest of your post had anything at all to stand on (Darkstar has shown the problems with it), the bolded section doesn't follow. Why Jehovah? How do you know that whatever supernatural god created life is still around, loves humans, interferes with our affairs, etc.? What makes your god the right one? Since when were all the other creation myths, some of which probably make more sense than Genesis, able to be dismissed out of hand in favour of the Christian one?

You're the one attempting to rebut, so go right ahead and prove to this forum that there is no Jehovah. Start by explaining how the common ancestor came to life by itself so that "evolution" could then supposedly occur.

That's not really fair. Why should he prove your god doesn't exist? It is very hard to prove anything and much harder to prove a negative. For example, if I claim I'm holding a one-eyed snake in my hand at this very moment .. prove I'm not. Kind of tough, isn't it?

See, that's the position we're in. Never seen a god, any of them .. not one. You say you've got one. Well, maybe you do. Good luck with that. I doubt it and don't believe it. If you want anyone here to take you seriously, you'll have to support your own claims.

Otherwise I'll just go right on thinking you're blowing smoke. Believe what you like. I prefer to hand my belief out a little more carefully.

Actually it is you who must first demonstrate how this thing you call Jehovah suddenly came to life out of nothing.

You might also admit in the process that anyone claiming evolution has anything to do with the origin of life is an unmitigated liar who has no place in civil society much less civil discussion. That would indicate you are aware you are posting lies, are a liar and screw the 7th of the Big Ten.

First, again, you don't prove a negative.
Prove there is no Ra, or Zeus, or Thor, or Sauron, or Loch Ness monster. If you believe in Jehovah because there's no direct evidence he doesn't exist, then you must believe in everything. Literally.

Second, if we don't know, we don't know. Period. End of story. You can't just automatically insert a particular god in that gap.
We don't know exactly how life started on Earth, therefore we were put here by aliens. (See how that works?)
How many things were attributed to gods in the past when people didn't understand how they worked? Then, were did that god go once we did figure it out?
Contrary to what it seems many theists believe, there's no time limit for figuring out how something works. If it takes us 5 years, or 10, or 50, or 500, or 1000 years and we actually figure out how life started here.... so what? The gap is closed, god is squeezed out, and it's the same whether it's 5 years or 1000 years from now.
