Life Comes From Life, Abiogenesis is not Verifiable. So in conclusion an eternal being must exist.

I believe that I forgot to thank you in my first found. It is wonderful to find interesting debates on this site, though some are not all that well thought out, I am really enjoying this one. The argument that you are using is called "God of the gaps" which I saw mentioned in the comments, and you can look at this if you have any misunderstanding of the meaning of God of the gaps. http://en.wikipedia.org... It is true that at the present we do not know everything about the universe. We have no concrete knowledge of its creation and the debate we are having now is purely speculation based on the evidence that we do have, but unless you have actual evidence that God must be the filler that plugs up these gaps then it is not accurate to assert that God must be the "only" explanation. For a very long time, the God of the gaps argument was used by people who rejected the theory of evolution before the theory of evolution even existed. Before Darwin, scientists speculated that humans and all complex life came from simpler life forms, but since they had no idea how we went from simple cells to complex life forms theists claimed that it must have been God. Later on it was proved that evolution was the way that we went from simple to complex, and before you say that evolution is "Just a theory" know that gravity is also a theory but you probably believe in that one. You also bring up a false dichotomy in this last post which is a logical fallacy. You say that the choices are only a creator or by chance, but you fail to mention the possibility of a third option. In this debate I am not going to be able to prove that I am right or prove that you're wrong. It is only my intention to make it clear that it's more logical to wait for a solid explanation than to use our lack of knowledge to say "it's God". We also don't know how to create life from matter yet. That's true, but again it's not a good reason to just say "it's God". You are also laying the burden or proof on me when I am making no claims. It is a long standing legal rule of thumb that the "party who alleges the affirmative of any proposition shall prove it". Since you are the one who is claiming to know the answer to this problem I suggest that you prove it with evidence, not just "It doesn't make since any other way". I also have this conversation to further support my claims: John Smith. [casting Reverend Brown as a theist]. All right, reverend, why is God not creating new life now? You rascal. Why isn't God creating life now? Actually such theists are rascals. They childishly say that life came from God, although they are not at all able to prove it. Our free thinking movement should expose all these rascals. They are only bluffing. Why don't they get God to create life immediately? In the past, they say, life was created by God; and they say that this will happen again in the future. They even say that they will get God to create more life. What kind of theory is this? They have already commented that life came from God. This refers to the past--began. Then why do they now speak of the future? Is it not contradictory? They are expecting the past to occur in the future. This is childish nonsense. Katherine. They say that life was created by God in the past and that they will make God create life this way in the future. John Smith. What is this nonsense? If they cannot prove that life is created by God in the present, how do they know life arose this way in the past? Reverend Brown. They are assuming John Smith. Everyone can assume, but this is not science. Everyone can assume something. You can assume something, I can assume something. But there must be proof. They cannot actually prove that life comes from God. They are leaving that aside for the future. [Laughter.] Katherine. The theists say that they can pray for people to be brought from the dead. They say that they have come very close and because they've come so close there must be just one missing link needed before they can convince God to create life. John Smith. Nonsense I'll challenge them to their face! Wait... doesn't that sound really familiar? Oh yeah it's just your story with the words matter and God changed. Funny how things like that can work. It seems like neither of us really know what's going on... Hmmm... I guess I'm going to have to think about that... I look forward to your reply. ;)
