Does Mars have volcanic activity? Actually Mars used to have a lot of liquid water and I wouldn't be surpised if evidence is eventually found that life got started on Mars, a long time ago. If there were any Martin microbes, however, they lost their habitat ages ago, when the planet dried up.

Good luck!

That can't be shown to have happened HERE!

Yes indeed, it is a matter of faith that life spontaneously arises from dead matter. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. In this case, there is faith that life will spontaneously spring up wherever conditions are sufficient. Yet, so far, space is full of lifeless rocks.

Since the evolutionist cannot demonstrate life springing from dead raw materials, it is a matter of faith that it must have occured, or else we would not be here. Indeed the one fact demands the other. I am, therefore, evolution is true?

Yet even if present attempts to create a bacterium from scratch were someday successful, what would that prove, given the complexity of DNA? You might as well demand that I teach my child that a truck full of urban garbage was dumped over a cliff and the result was a fully functioning notebook computer, complete with the ability to make other identical versions of the same make and model. ROFL!
