A cell?? -- who said
NO look! the "dunno" philosophy is not the absolute base of my faith. Im just showing you how a cell being formed by chance is as impossible as randomly throwing letters on a paper to form a beautiful poem by "Chance".
Well since no one suggests a cell formed by chance or was the form of first life there is no disagreement there.
I suggest you learn about these things before engaging mouth gears.

Actually, you didn't show that at all.
Simply saying something doesn't make it true.

Re: Getting the topic right
Well...expalin to me how can a cell be formed by chance since you "know" more than me as you think!

Re: A cell?? -- who said
Look! a cell being formed by chance is like the basic belief of an athiest evolutionist. If you say that no one suggested that a cell can be formed by chance than what is your belief about the emergance of the first cell? Are you willing to believe in chance?

Re: A cell?? -- who said
Each time I engage in a talk with evolutionists they start to talk about natural selection and speciation. But they fail to explain how it all started. Now, almost everyone realizes that believing in a cell emerging by chance is not in agreement with logic. Here I'd like to talk about abiogenesis. Posting essays about evolution of populations is not enough to prove evolution. Most important is to show how it all started. Otherwise evolution will fail to reach its sole purpose: The Denial of God!
By the way, just like how any machine needs an intellegent dsigner, so is the cell needs an even more intelligent designer.

No, it isn't. That's a straw man, I don't know where you got it from. Additionally, not all (likely not even most) evolutionists are atheists, if that's what you're saying.

We don't yet know how the first cell emerged. We probably never know for certain, although plausible theories using observable mechanisms have been proposed. It is likely that the first self-replicating "life" was far simpler than the simplest cells existing today. No matter, abiogenesis is a different topic than evolution (and that's why we have a separate Origin of Life forum here); regardless of how the first self-replicators emerged (or were created, for that matter), evolution is concerned with what happened (and continues to happen) after that.
I repeat, evolutionary theory does not rest on a foundation of abiogenesis.

Fortunately, evolutionary biology has no such purpose, so no worries.
You might be happier talking to the folks over at the Internet Infidels forum (which is specifically for and about atheists). However, even they will inform you that evolutionary biology is not about atheism, nor about abiogenesis.

Re: A cell?? -- who said
Ok then no need for me to further post. As long as you have no clue about the origin of life than I dont care about populations' evolution (although we dont know for sure if it exists, other than natural selection).
AS long as evolutionist fail to explain how evolution can account for the begining (not evolution) of life, then athiests failed to deny God.
[It is likely that the first self-replicating "life" was far simpler than the simplest cells existing today.]---> Your saying maybe here, well maybe not, what if it was not simple. The layer of the first unicellular organisms clearly show their complexity that is just like modern day cells. YOur quote above is an example of how evolutionists create imaginary scenarios to satisfy their lack of evidence regarding the origin of life.

But you did learnt that Einstein did not believe in a personal god and thus it wasn't a total waste of your time.

Yes, we do. We have many observed instances of speciation, and mutation with natural selection is commonly observed in existing populations.

Abiogenesis has little to no bearing on whether or not atheists deny the existence of gods.

The "imaginary scenario" is called a hypothesis. Scientists are not disturbed by the fact that we don't know everything.

If you sincerely believe in God, then why do you care whether atheists "deny God" (whatever that means)?

Re: A cell?? -- who said
Hypothesis are accepted, but as long as your hypothesy is not proven, then you have to take into account the opposite hypothesies.
By the way, their is enough evidence against your so called hypothesis. The sediment layers tell us that the first unicellular life forms were no different from todays cells and bacteria in complexity.
AS I said, I dont have to worry myself since athiests are unable to fully deny or disprove the existance of God.

Actually, it is usually the theistically minded that seem so concerned to prove to the atheists that God exists. Most of the atheists I know simply point out that the "proofs" for God's alleged existence are unconvincing and mostly want to be left alone.

How would one go about attempting to 'disprove' even one God? Where would one begin disproving the FSM? What criteria would one use in order to disprove God?
Logically (cu*), I imagine you are reliant on God proving himself to you. And that you have all the time in the world for him to do so
