Do you understand why "creation" is a misnomer?

Science tells us that the first life forms consisted of single-celled creatures which took shape billions of years ago in alkaline deep sea vents.

***NOTHING*** "created" life. It simply appeared in compliance with the laws of thermodynamics which apply *throughout the universe*. (This is why most people assume that there are life forms beyond the earth.)

If you don't know what that means, shouldn't you either educate yourself or find other things to discuss?

    Jotacar, what you think of as nothing is simply that which theoretical models cannot touch i.e., what thought cannot find a way to measure. Thought cannot talk knowledgeably about nothing! Whatever you conjecture about nothing cannot be more than speculative. Use of the word "nothing" is no better than saying "God did it". You don't know what lies behind the veil. The word reality (from the Latin root res) is equivalent to the English word "thing". Reality is simply a model the mind makes to describe things and events involving things (acts). Come back in a few million years and then tell me how your quaint understanding of quantum mechanics and science has fared. You are a bananas best hope.

    At least your violence is only expressing itself in forums.

    The laws of thermodynamics would not allow the formation of life abiotically. The complex biochemicals needed are not favoured in nature by the thermodynamics of chemical reactions, they break down faster than they form.

    Be assured that I realize a lot more than you do about this. That's why I don't go about asking immature, self-aggrandized "questions" like this one.
