Of course it's absurd, it's fantasy.

The insinuation of a god or that there is no god is equally a fairytale if we go with your claim. Just because "God" chooses to do things clearly different than you does not quantify to it not existing. Atheism is a leap just as much as theism.
I just made the observation god was sloppy if he did use those "special" amino acids only to create life. Again this doesn't mean accepting scientific evidence is a "leap of faith" or a fairytale. Throughout history, people created gods for whatever natural event they didn't understand (e.g. lightning, migration of the moon and stars, the origin of species). Now we have scientific theories which explain the natural world around us in detail. Just because we don't know what specifically happened billions of years ago or every possible way molecules interact in every possible environment doesn't mean an intelligent creator set it all in motion.

Actually they are: proteins are polymers of chemicals called amino acids.

Proteins are much bigger chemicals if you want to call them that but it seems bad to refer to them that way when you seemed ignorant on chemistry.
I never called them that, you assumed wrong.
Your 2nd to last paragraph is a claim void of fact. It also shows a leap of faith on your part. What a fairytale.
Hey I'm just saying there are working hypotheses out there that of course need testing. Remember, just like before the theory of gravity, evolution and baby making. No need to create the god of the gaps.
Secular countries are not among the most educated, etc... This is a claim and it makes no difference.
How does this not make a difference?
Thanks for the reference. Although this draws a couple of points. Slavery was OK historically since "god" is the authority, or this verse is corrupt, or the god of the bible is a fairytale and I'm sure you can make up some other thoughts. All conclusions are equally falsifiable or rather require faith. FYI: I'm a agnostic theist not a christian.
You're welcome.
