Appreciate your efforts! :)

Suggested lab tool:
If you are using natural peanut butter, stick a mixer blade in a cordless drill to mix it with.
100 times faster and easier than stirring it with a spoon or knife.

(I was proud of myself when I came up with that idea a few weeks ago. :) )

And why exactly do we want to stir our peanut butter? :idunno:

With natural peanut butter the peanut oil separates from the peanut mush. It rises to the top, and you have to stir it up, and sometimes it a real pain in the whatsit.

Regular processed PB contains partially hydrogenated oils to keep the oil from separating and it makes the shelf life a lot longer.

Good idea with the drill, V.

All of my experiments btw, have been conducted using natural peanut butter.

Which of course is why I will only buy supernatural peanut butter.

So, we've established that there are hypothesis that explain the origin of life on earth which are alternatives to Christianity and are compatible with what we think we know about physical world.

We've also established a good method for stirring natural peanut butter, and that Knight would just rather not have to stir his peanut butter.

Um... that's not important to me... Why don't we stay on topic?

Agree!

Yes a alternate hypothesis exists.
and are compatible with what we think we know about physical world.
DISAGREE!

Creating life from non-living matter is a fairy-tale. Life spontaneously generating itself is not compatible with anything we know about the physical world.

Which law of the universe does it contradict exactly?

Law of the universe???

What does that mean?

You said.....

What we know about the physical world:
Physics
Chemistry
Biology

Physics? Certainly atoms are capable of moving. Check!
Chemistry? Certainly organic chemicals can bond together. Check!
Biology? Certainly organic molecules can replicate. Check!

And we also know that life only comes from life. Non-living matter does not spontaneously generate into living replicating cells. Can you prove otherwise????

That is an assumption.
Knight said:

Non-living organic matter, however, does change in configuration, and what is life other than replicating organic matter? There is no reason this configuration of replicating organic molecules cannot be reached without intelligence.
Knight said:

No, and let me remind you can't prove it either way as well.

No.... the assumption would be the opposite.

Scientists cannot create life from non-living matter using all of their intelligence. What makes you think a puddle of water can do it without intelligence?

What makes a puddle, or a volcano, or some clay so much better at creating life than scientists in a lab?

This is not as important until I get this next point across.

Why is the belief that life cannot arise from non-life not an assumption?
What makes something an assumption?

Supported by observation.
