libellule said: Just a point to Creationist and life :
Some of you are pointing out that, even if evolution seems possible between living forms, the Evolution Theory can't explain how the Life has started from non-biological forms. I want to say to you one thing : You are completely right. The start of Life is very difficult question that is not very well understood. There are some hypotesis but they are far from being solid and of course we are not able to replicate life in vitro. But, what you also have to know is that even if Science is not able to prove how Life has started on Earth, there are also no evidence indicating the existence of a God (or similar entity with creative capacity). It means that this "black hole" in the scientifc model of Life is absolutely NOT an argument that u should use to prove that God exists and has created Life. Then, IF you want to have scientific position on Life, u have to find your own evidence about God.
Then I m asking to Creationist :
what are your ACTIVE evidence that God exists or that "something" created Life ? What are your explanation about Life's birth ?
If u don't have any evidence, except the lack of credibility of our actual scientific evidences at your eyes OR ur Faith, then u dont have a rationnal evidence that can be used in this discussion, then it means you are not talking about Science but Religion. In this case, this discussion is pretty useless.
Note : there are a lot of "black holes" in the Evolution Theory (even the most recent version) but a Theory is supposed to be a model, not the "TRUTH, but something that seems to explain what we are observing around us (here we are talking about LIFE). Also note a model is supposed to be destroyed or to be perfected with the time and new idea input. It is a scientific reasonnement that need to be proven and that can be destroyed/modulated with new ideas. It has nothing to do with a Religious claim ...
one more question to add to these (great post) for creationist: how did the intelligent being come ito being? either u admit that things are how they are and there was nothing to create them (destroying the notion that god created everything) or you admit that something created god, leading back to the original Question.
