“I don’t believe in evolution�

You (generic term) dont believe in evolution because it has not been proved to your satisfaction. Correct?

Do you believe tales of human parthenogenesis (virgin birth), reanimation of long dead bodies (resurrection), Earth flooded to tops of mountains, donkeys and snakes talking, demons being cast into swine which drown themselves, faith can move mountains (literally), supernatural characters influencing human lives, etc?

Have all the latter been proved to your satisfaction? If so, what is that proof?

Non-Theist

ANY of the thousands of "gods" proposed, imagined, worshiped, loved, feared, and/or fought over by humans MAY exist -- awaiting verifiable evidence

That's an interesting claim given that you presently consist of inanimate matter.

And every one of those cells came from inanimate matter. 'Living' is just a term used to describe the behaviour of certain aggregations of matter. No gods necessary.

I have to ask, just how "inanimate" is matter, when you get down to the really small? There are quarks and gluons and who knows what else doing who knows what else (like being in two places at once) when we're not looking. ("Psst, here comes that pesky scientist again.

Your claim and my response to it addresses inanimate matter.


Why are you changing the subject?
