Perhaps since you brought up 'belief' that there are inherent qualities of the Universe to appear to produce life under the right circumstances, you would expound on how the universe (prebiotic) made of atoms would suddenly bring forth from that dead, material universe consciousness and belief itself. And since you brought up 'their theories' tell us how dead matter brought forth theoretical concepts to squirt forth from previous to conciousness dead, mindless matter.
How does a prebiotic universe bring, one of molecular motion bring forth conscious sentience of self?
I will not ascent to the notion that scientists attempt to explain 'geo' and 'bio' history based purely on the available physical evidence and are engaged in some sort of conspiracy to deny God. I have not made such a proposition.
I ask these questions not to harass but to offer you food for thought. I am not your enemy, I am your friend in regards to searching for truth, where it may lead.
So far the darwinist atheist have propounded, nothing came from everything, non-life produced life, Randomness produces fine-tuning, chaos produces information, unconsciousness produces consciousness and non-reason produces reason. Non can explain any of these six observations via rational thought. In fact rational thought cannot be explained by darwinism.
The preeminent problem for the darwinist is to explain how nonliving chemicals could somehow self-assemble into the first living cell. Upon this hangs the evolution of the universe putting forth life by chemicals.
In short the amount of faith required to be a darwinist, materialist, atheist far exceeds what is reasonably warranted by the hard evidence which science offers now.
I don't expect you to answer this post, but I do hope you will honestly examine these hard questions.
I'll try to honestly examine your questions if you will honestly examine one of mine.
What is the relevance of this in the context of conservative political activism?
If you're implying I need to change my religious beliefs in order to bring them into line with conservative political philosophy, then you need to explain how founding documents and principles of the Republic came to include the writings and ideas of men like Thomas Paine, and what it is exaclty we're supposed to be trying to "conserve".
