So you've witnessed god creating the universe? Btw it's not just liberal progressive scientists, it's 99.9% of ALL scientists. If you want to admit that the desire to learn more about our universe is a 999:1 liberal to conservative ratio, you're only helping me prove my ppint.


The simplest proof of abiogenesis I can give is microbes that adapt to human made antibiotics. Single celled organisms can easily be viewed under microscope to adapt to it's chemical environment.

No I have faith God created the universe, just like you have faith you were the product of an ape mating with some common (yet unknown) ancestor.

Lol first of all, homo sapiens sapiens came from early primates, not apes.

And I don't need to have faith, because there is solid concrete evidence verified by the world's smartest people using a recreatable, infallible method.

Why do you instead choose to believe a book written by bronze age Arab fishermen?

You'll fall for anything. You have faith in fallible men you deem smarter than yourself.

You think science is some kind of "liberal progressive" conspiracy?

No. Cloaking evolution of a molecule to a man in science is dishonest. That's what I'm saying. It's based on faith just as much as believing in creationism is.

I concede that your question might make sense to someone who had a recent lobotomy or brain injury or was taking hallucinogenic drugs.

There is evidence of common descent via modification.

There is no evidence for Creationism- especially Young Earth Creationism.

No. If you weren't there to observe it and if you can't recreate it in a lab, it isn't science. It's just interpretation of the evidence, and if you're a naturalist, you will interpret the evidence based on that world view (which is overwhelmingly the demographics getting the grants and writing the science books and indoctrinating the kids).

No, you should brush up on the basics:
