Yes, the Torah makes those claims.
However, evidence points to the Torah not being written by Moses, and written down much much later. There is also no archaeological evidence that the Exodus ever happened as described in the Torah. Since we have no external confirmation of the historical accuracy of Exodus, the allegorical nature of Bereshite, to use it as a source for your claims is circular logic.
So far, in your 'essay' , you use the logical fallacy of personal incredibility, the logical fallacy of 'straw man', and the logical fallacy of 'special pleading'. All in all, not one solitary 'logical'
sound proof of a divine creator what so ever.

And, yp does think that life from non-life is obtainable. He just thinks it is God that did it.

Re: Admin question - Brian
Well, that is what tradition says.
What evidence do you have that tradition is correct? If you can't provide any external and verifiable evidence for that tradition, it really isn't very useful as evidence.
So, for evidence that 'Atheism is not logically sound', you use a whole bunch of logical fallacies, and then for support, you reference a 2700 year old piece of writing for which there is no outside verification for.
Yes, that is really and truly convincing, to those people who have already made up their mind, and refuse to look at the evidence objectively that is.
