I wouldn't be surpised if evidence is eventually found that life got started on Mars, a long time ago.

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!

People who don't understand how science works are quick to call science merely another form of faith.

(Forgive them. They know not what they do.)
