I'd be willing to say any Amish man is a better man than you or I.

They hold to what you just stated in sarcasm.

That being said

Science itself is not pagan. Scientists who insist they know how God works (or suggest they know better if God exists in the first place) are the pagans.

Preaching that life came from non-life is not only not scientificly sound (as it is yet to be observed) It is an affront to God that only the pagans amongst scientists adhere to.

"Preaching that life came from non-life is not only not scientificly sound (as it is yet to be observed)"

That is the silliest statement I have ever heard. Of course life came from non-life. Where else could it come from? Either life has always existed or at some point it originated from matter we would not consider alive. Even if I believe that God created life out of nothing, it still had to come out of non-life.

Are you then denying that at one time there was an earth without life? Whether created by God or created as a result of ambient environmental conditions and the laws of chemistry, if there hasn't always been life on earth, then life must have arisen from non-life at some point. That doesn't even seem to me to be in question. The question is not whether life arose from non-life, but rather how it did so. That is where the disagreement is.
