So now it has to be reproducible for you to reconsider? Wink j/k

I understand what you are saying. Thanks for discussing this with me.

(Note, I do not believe that all of evolutionary biology is a big conspiracy to promote atheism...just in case that is what you were implying.)

According to the Bible, God created the stars; however, there is a natural explanation for the stars according to astrophysicists. You'd expect that God created the elements that make us up and all the elements on the periodic table, but there is a natural explanation for the origins of all the elements on the periodic table according to nuclear physicists. You'd think that God created species, esp. our species, but there is an explanation for the origins of species. There may not be an explanation for the origins of life, but our advance in technology has also lead to the superseding of superstitious belief or made the role of a deity vague, so i suspect that just as lighting now is not popularly recognized as an act of a deity but rather a meteorological event, so will life one day be recognized as a natural event.

Maybe so...but I have my doubts. Smile
