What if I believe in a different god that did not create anything?

Many religions do.

Oh?

Please give us five examples.

Here's the question again...

What evidence exists that a first cell with the ability to self-replicate assembled itself in Darwin's warm pond?
Sediment analysis.

It is YOU who is changing the subject. You got an alternative to the Evolution theory?

I find it curious (to be polite) that these folks opposing the evolution theory have nothing but barbs against the theory that has been confirmed over years, yet offer nothing of their own.

Losers.

What does sediment analysis have to do with a first cell?

It seems to me your problem is with Darwinism- you are not alone, even within the scientific community.

"Evolution" as a fact, however, seems to be indisputible.

Why would one have to be evidence of the other? All these things exist. They have their own evidence.

The question was your bogus claim that the evidence for life arising in "Darwin's warm pond" was no better than the evidence for life having been created. But that is objectively not true.

We actually have evidence that "Darwin's warm pond" could have existed. We have no such evidence for your creator.

That makes the natural explanation objectively superior right out of the box. It doesn't even have to be right... and it's still an objectively superior explanation... based on evidence.

Then lets call it theory...

Maybe not all of them but most. It is very hard to be intelligent about things that seem unexplainable other than higher intelligence.


[/quote]It doesn't seem to have much to do with the discussion though.[/quote]I think it does for a forward thinking person.

Given enough time, do you think man will be able to create life?

Then it is a very good thing that evolution does not assert that it was a one time accident.
