Perhaps it was the reference to your Jesuit education, and your snide comments about secularists that led to me to believe you took a Christian view of the origins of life.
If i'm incorrect, my bad.
I do personally take a Christian view, but I admit that I do so as an act of faith fully acknowledging that scientifically credible evidence to support such a view has not been produced. The secularist view, on the other hand, seems to claim to have hard scientific evidence and I don't think that's true.
Both sides of the argument, of course, have their own anecdotal "evidence", but that doesn't rise to the level of scientific certainty for either view.
