"I find it interesting that creationists are not willing to accept abiogenesis (which would follow known physical laws), but are willing to not only accept, but base their living philosophy on, magic."

What known physical laws would explain abiogenesis? And who said that creationists base their philosophy for living on magic? I presume you can support that second statement with some references.

My point was that if abiogenesis is shown to be correct, it will have to have followed the known physical constraints of the so-called physical laws.

Religion on the other hand worships a supernatural entity that not only breaks those laws but supposedly created them along with life, the earth and the universe. This supernatural entity seems to be using magic to do all this creating. The only cite I could possibly have for this magical world would be the Bible.

If I'm wrong about this supernatural being and his/her/its use of magic I'm sure you can and will straighten me out.
