Present a BETTER worldview

[Tiberius]

Can you prove there is even a single planet capable of permiting life?

Yes. We happen to live on it.

I'm mostly with Tiberius on this one. Watching you try to explain everything without invoking an argument from incredulity (also known as the god of the gaps) would be more entertaining than having to spoon feed you thousands and thousands of pages on math, chemistry, biology, physics, psychology, neurology, sociology etc. I've read in my life.

Abiogenesis is not a failed hypothesis.

I just stumbled into this post, but already I can see you're one to overlook the obvious. O_o

PS: I keep wanting to contribute my opinions on things in this thread, but Tiberius seems to always beat me to it, so replying would be redundant.

are you guys seriously going to take him literally as if he doesn't know that we live on a habitable planet? I'll be the charitable one and say he meant to say "prove there is another planet that harbors life" We all know we haven't found proof yet but I think, at this point, to conclude that there are no other planets with life out there, given we haven't found any in the 0.000000..1 % of the universe we have explored, is quite arrogant.

Abiogenesis is not a failed hypothesis.

Why?

......so replying would be redundant.

Actually it wouldnt, no one has managed to answer the OP succesfully.

Why?

The research for abiogenesis has not ceased.

I'm quite sure Adrian actually answered it in the first reply. Just because someone doesn't give you the answer you wish to hear, doesn't mean the question hasn't been answered.

You asked a question and were given several answers throughout this thread, all of which I personally believe are sufficient enough of an answer to comply with the original post. However, since you're looking for a particular answer, or rather, since your post is setup as bait, as an attempt to think "Nobody CAN give me a sufficient answer," I would argue that no posts would ever meet your satisfaction.

Thus, there is no reply we can supply to you personally that you'll accept, as there is no answer that you'll except... Or, you already have an answer in your mind, and will only accept that one.

There's a difference between not being given an answer to what you asked, and being given the answer, and you not fully comprehending it, or choosing to accept it to your satisfaction.

PS. In addition, topics of discussion and debates usually are for the outside observer or 3rd person, in which discussions like this... which neither "satisfy" the OP nor provide any beneficial information to the contributors, are more likely to be beneficial to a person simply reading both sides of an argument and determining and making up their own mind in what makes sense weighing both sides into account. This is how it is with all threads, debates, and discussions you'll ever create or read.

Which doesnt change the fact that as of today September 18, 2010 it has so far FAILED in explaining the origin of life.

No one has yet to give a BETTER explanation for our existance than God did it. If they have on this thread please by all means quote them...
