You're welcome.
I will continue to remind you until you decide to post, no matter how often you post in other threads (what with so little time you have) and no matter how much copy/paste you do from apparently prolific googling, because I beleive that you are now dodging the question. |

Ah, but you've decided to puss out on the invite as you can't seem to find the time. How about we close down this thread so that you would have the time and opportunity to advance and defend your ideas on your conjecture of abiogenesis?
I will make it easier on you yet, VD. Just go back and reread my posts for the past three months and it will save a lot of time for everyone.
I have, I summarized your position in my first response in this thread to you. You have provided no evidence or logic to support your extradimentional diefic genesis conjecture. |

(bill) Good. Then you will have read the posts where I asked numerous times why most of the naturalist on this forum always revert back to changing the subject when their stories holes are being prodded? First thing on this thread.
Forum piece: A methane-producing microbe may offer some clues to the origin of life... story...
Bill: Where did this microbe come from?
Pleco: Nice try, Bill. What is your abiogenesis theory then?
Bill: My theory? I thought this was a forum on the meth-producing microbe which may, or may not, have something to do with life's origin?
Pleco: Stop dodging the topic, Bill.
Bill: Dodge the topic? Is this, or is this not, a thread on the meth-producing microbe that may, or may not, have been involved in life origins?
Pleco: It was Bill until you decided to ask questions on the piece so we decided to switch topics in mid-thread in an effort to try and put you on the defensive and end this Q&A game of yours, Bill.
Bill: I thought questioning just-so stories and exposing holes was a natural response for the skeptical mind?
Pleco: Quit dodging the subject of the thread Bill, which is your abiogenesis theory.
Bill: I thought the subject I responded to was meth-producing microbes and the origins of life?
Pleco: Your dodging Bill.
Bill: Your hallucinating...
Pleco: Your dodging.
Bill: You really need a hobby of some sort...

Bill,
You colossal coward. How long did it take you to type that crap? Why not spend your oh-so-precious time explaining your theory of How-It-All-Began?
Why are you such a gutless turd?

When I noted that this thread had gone from one reply yesterday to a full 19 today, I made the prediction that one of our regular "deists" must be behind this somehow. My prediction was true. I am so smart. SMRT.

Why do you keep on doing this, Bill? Time and again you are saying that because science doesn't have all the answers, it can't have any answers at all. Guess what, Bill. There will always be "holes" in scientific theories. From a scientific perspective, we can't know everything.
Your point about your request for more "information" somehow doesn't sit well with our "holy cow of materialism" is moot. Science is comfortable with there being gaps in knowledge. These gaps are actually the reason for there being science in the first place.

So like, what's your version of it, or is that information classified?

Still up to your usual straw-man lies eh?
That or you obviously are incapable of understanding the content of the article.
In no way, as you state, does the article imply that a methane producing microbe had any part in the origin of life.
It suggests that the energy storage mechanisms that this microbe uses could have existed independently from any life form, providing the energy needed for the formation of larger and more complex organic molecules.
But once again, you demonstrate that you are only interested in telling lies and using whatever immoral method available to try and argue against evolution and abiogenesis.

Hey Bill. I don't see in the article any claim that abiogenesis has been worked out and answered. I just see that there are people working on the problem and are checking an avenue of research that they happened upon that looks promising. I think it is safe to say that no one would claim to know exactly where this new evidence will lead, beyond more research.
What I see in your replies is the attitude of someone who doesn't even think this, or any “scientific” research into origins is worthwhile. Even if some of your questions are valid, why on earth should all of those questions be answered now for the research to be valid? You are just demonstrating more of your anti science bias and more ignorance about how science works.
You're a trip Bill.

Sorry Bill. You can only be a skeptic if your willing to change your view if the hypothesis you originally have doubts about turns out to supported by experimentation and evidence. Since you already have a belief about our origins that is supernatural, not falsifiable and not in the least bit scientific, and since you are only willing to accept evidence that supports your belief, you don't really get to be a skeptic. On the subjects like origins, what you are is a nay-sayer, not a skeptic!
Or are you willing to change your beliefs about our origins?

Your hallucinating. We just went through this in the Noah's Ark thread last week. Where did the earth, meth-producing microbes and outer space come from in my Christian worldview? They came from the eternal existing creator of all that exists, which I will refer to as God. When I look at the creation it cries out creator in my eyes. The miracle of life is another reason I subscribe to a creator. I gave the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his affirmation of the book of Genesis as the biggest reason among many that this creator is in fact the creator we read about in the Judeo-Christian Bible. Yes, I realize that this conversation was not over yet and I will make sure to revisit that thread next. So for you to rattle on and on about how Bill refuses to give his theory on how it all started when we just had the very conversation last week shows me just how confused you remain. Unless by continuing to demand my theory on how it all got started you are wanting me to explain how God created the universe, life etc... Of course demanding that the finite have full knowledge of the infinite or the created be able to answer for the creator would just be more evidence of how confused you remain.

Two signs often given when the naturalist sees his sacred cow of a completely materialistic abiogenesis theory being riddled with holes and being scrutinized under the weight of a cross examination from a skeptical non-believer.
1. They will immediately begin attacking the skeptical non-believer's worldview in an effort to put him/her on the defensive and to get the subject off of the obvious bankrupt status the naturalist's abiogenesis theory/hypothesis/story/ramblings has to offer. As demonstrated by Pleco amongst others and...
2. They revert to name calling and weak attempts at personal insults. As demonstrated by fripp amongst others

(bill) Non-sense. My request for more information merely shows that man has no clue how life got started and all these "shot in the dark" attempts to even come up with a plausible hypothesis are simply evidence of this ignorance. To give a naturalist hypothesis on the origin of life the materialist must begin with nothing and go from there. To begin the story with primordial soups and extraterrestrial objects from outer space already in existence and offer no explanation for this existence, or any evidence at all for the story, puts this in the category of wishful thinking at best, and fairytale at worst.
