Re: As I said, I am not a scientist or a mathmetician
I also believe there is evidence for the existence of God. I look at the expanse of the universe, I look at the design of even a simple cell, I look at the morality that is within all of us, and I look at how limited and constrained our thoughts are in this physical world that we find ourselves in, and I see evidence that God exists.
Curious non sequitur. I can't see what connects any of this to the God hypothesis.
For example, the universe, you say, is vast. But this has no connection with the existence of a god unless you can show that a universe not created by a god would be much smaller.
Our thoughts, you say, are limited and constrained. This, again, is irrelevant unless you can show that in a universe not created by a god we should all be transcendent omniscient supergeniuses.
You do not say what it is you that you find divine about prokaryotes; and as for your claims about morality, I note that some people are in fact psychopaths.

Re: Re-100%
You know that aliens are not brainwashing you ... by comparing two different editions of the Bible?
Talk us through this.

Re: Law of Biogenesis
Has science proven that life can arise from non-living matter?
Yes.
Or is abiogenesis an unproven theory?
No.
It seems that these theories always take the position that given enough time, even the miraculous can occur!
No.
It would be much easier (and much safer) to attribute the miracle to God!
If a miracle has occured, then by definition God would be the cause. However, I am not convinced of the premise.
