No supporting factual evidence has been presented of an occurrence of spontaneous generation.

How about Mt. St. Helen? Mt. St. Helen produced huge disruption in the ecosystem for miles around it. You remember the trees that were knocked down. Well since the earth was bare, huge mud flows carved out a smaller versions of the Grand Canyon. The Trees carried by mud, carved huge canyons, just like the grand canyon, flowed into a lake and started staturating root side down and sticking themselves in the mud at the bottom of the lake. It is expected that some of these 'trees' will turn to coal, given the presence of clay in the mud. Given heat, the process of making coal would accelerate to less than a year.

Thus you have proof positive that a climatic change event (like a mega volcano) can produce Grand Canyons and Coal beds (with coal logs sticking up in the strata).

But I imagine that even this would not be enough proof. You see, most people form their beliefs on creation/evolution based on their feelings. Having made an emotional bond with drawings of dinosaurs, many found their belief in evolution on their feelings.

Evolutionist claimed that their theory was a "Fact" and then that was supposed to settle everything.

When Apollo failed to sink into 30 feet of moondust (as prediction of millions of years of space dust failed) and Austronauts footprints were only 1/2" it was time to look into the theory some more.

But the real problem is Jesus's words "Since the time of creation" and references to Adam as well as Noah. You see that either Jesus is a liar, or decieved or he is right. If he is wrong, Christianity falls apart and there is no hope for the dead of all mankind.

So the issue is serious, and one should not look at it through the lens of ones feelings. Theories work unless they are proven false. The Moondust and Mt. St. Helens give me huge doubts about evolution. The complexity of Human Beings - immune systems, backup systems make my wife who is a nurse huge pauses.

But most of all, what the Lord Jesus Christ said about it and the utlitmate abolishment of death amke me think. You see if Death is abolished, so is evolution.

I would give this some serious thought my friend.

In all honesty, I would prefer not to insult you by answering your posted statements. Item by item, my detailed reply would be an insult and I would prefer not to do so.

"It is expected that some of these 'trees' will turn to coal, given the presence of clay in the mud. Given heat, the process of making coal would accelerate to less than a year.

Do you seriously desire that I reply to your statement, which implied that trees can be converted to coal in less than a year, without saying something rather insulting?

Hopefully, your scientific research is well documented and supported by factual data?

Scientists expected Apollo to be swallowed up by moon dust? Gosh, golly, dem sure was toopid to send it dere, wun't they?

Puhlleeeeaz. Not sure what happened to the accumulation of moon dust, but there is such a thing as solar wind.
