> Keep the faith brother!
You keep "faith." I'll keep facts. I do not want to *believe,* I want to *know.*
The first thing you need to understand - or know - is yourself - specifically your biases.
Like every other human, to the extent that you don't know you adopt beliefs.
You believe that the origins of life are explained by evolution - and you may be right. But since neither you nor I know - we adopt a belief system.
And unless you understand your biases (whether they be held rightly or wrongly), you run the risk shutting out the truth.
You (appear to) vehemently oppose any idea of ID - certainly your choice. But do not pretend that your opposition is based on knowledge - because obviously it is not (having an opinion is not the same as having the answer). Evolution just happens to conform to your belief system or "world view".
I know my biases - do you understand yours?
