To dismiss common sense and say that with nature anything is possible throws science into the religion category.

There is no common sense involved in making up a story about how things happened, and persistently making the claim that that's how it must have been, and asking for evidence is hardly the same thing as dismissing common sense. A categorical claim that something could not have happened needs more support than your claim that it's "common sense" to get a hearing at the scientific table.

This is my point. This is natural evolution.

We are dealing with after the fact evidence. Should we make up stories about how all these events could have overcome the impossible and happened by chance – or step back, look at the big picture and see the intelligence behind it all.

The "story" told in that article is what science knows about life. It is you who cannot even tell the story of how such an unlikely thing could have occurred. You cannot even fantasize the steps that would lead to the creation of life and you say that the non-atheists are the ones making up stories????????
