So like all good philosopers, you've never applied what you have learned? If you want to play that game, I've taken the same Logic course, tempered by Applied Analysis courses and Applied Math and Physics courses. In all of thoss classes, they warn you not to over simplify your logic. Obviously you never got the memo.

Actually, I also have a degree in Electrical Engineering and took similar courses. Most of that is directly testable, though, unlike speciation. When you make the assumption that all life started with a singularity, something that must have happened millions of years ago, and left no physical trail, you need at least some discipline in your thinking.

Again, not so good on the applied side of things are you? You are starting to sound like a postmodernist when you mislabel things you clearly don't understand as dogma. Sure you aren't a pomo in disguise?

Actually I am very solidly grounded in reality. Its the singularity of life folks that are out in spaceland.

Except that the physical leftovers are everywhere, you just have trained yourself not to see the evidence for them. Funny how that works, innit? You have willed yourself not to see the evidence, and then you start creating simplified erroneous logical constructions to bolster your worldview. It doesn't work that way.

As someone with a background in Astrophysics, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you don't quite appreciate just how long millions or billions of years REALLY is, and what happens in a billion years, or two billion, or three billion years. Educate yourself, PLEASE!
