Dear Yuyutsu,

I directed my comment to you simply because you raised a question about Life on page 1. Remember? or has your dementia finally got to you.

Dear Mr. Opinion,

On page 1 I pointed out to Not_Now.Soon that life and biology are two quite different things. I did not ask anything there, how less so about the origins of biology.

Sorry for the dely in the response. Here's the second half of what I meant to write to ya.

....continued from before......

The way I know God is real has determined for me that God is indeed still active in the world. This is not theory to fill in the gaps, nor is it reaching for an explanation with God, when I don't have an explanation of my own. If I don't have an explanation, I'm ok to say I don't know, and only hold what the possibilities are in those cases.

However when looking at the world we live in, there is no way I can buy the line that we are here by natural chance elements alone. I've given the reasons for this in the observations I gave in the start of this conversation. We are too complex a world, and complex a creature to have just happened through random chances. The numbers just don't add up to that conclusion. If there's merit to abiogenesis and we can discover a means to make complex molecules come together and create living creatures, then I might reconsider the natural phenomenon approach to how earth came to be. Until then though the bridge from nonliving to living is still not found and not crossed. There are no explanations for how we have life on earth except philosophies and hypothesis. No gaps are being filled (to use your terminology) to show how it's done.

To Individul.

Regarding your question. Ask God Himself. Try it, it's called prayer. You might be suprised if you get some insight on the matter, regardless if you recognize it to be from God or not. Or you might not get any answer or insight. Sometimes answers remain hidden, at least for a while.

My best guess is that those with a sinister streak are a reminder for us. To seek God, and to be reminded of the state of the world because of our sins. To remind us our need for God. As well as keep us from being to proud in ourselves.

Just my best guess. Ask Him yourself. See what you find.

Not_Now.Soon,
Ok, I'll ask him now with you as my witness.
Dear God, could you please stop humans from being stupid, greedy, nasty & just guide them to be considerate of each other !

Dear NNS,

You write; “The way I know God is real has determined for me that God is indeed still active in the world.”

And I can just as easily assert that 'I know God is not real because there is no evidence of him/her being active in the world'.

Why aren't both as valid as the other.

There is a demonstrable path from the very beginnings of life on this planet to what we have today. DNA science has given evolutionary theory a robustness that makes it virtually irrefutable.

Anyway just for the record, are you a young earth creationist or just an intelligent design aficionado?
