Does it take more faith to believe that life comes from non-life than it does to believe in an intelligent designer of life?

What's "faith" got to do with it?

What should be employed as a faithometer? What are its units? How is it calibrated?

More interesting, perhaps, is the claim hidden in the rhetorical question posed by the thread, that being the claim that the proposition requiring 'more faith' is therefore 'less true'. It would be interesting to see such a claim openly argued.

I would think so. Some modern day textbooks devote a chapter to the work of Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur, and their success in disproving Spontaneous Generation. Then, a few chapters later, school kids are taught that Spontaneous Generation is the Origin of Life. They just use a different terminology. Silly, silly evolutionism.

If you have evidence that something is true, do you still call it faith to believe in it? For instance, do you have faith that the sun will rise in the morning? Or is faith a belief in things you have no evidence for?

Wow! Do you have evidence that the sun will rise tomorrow?

Does it take more faith to believe that life arose from very simple forms that arose spontaneously, or to simultanously believe both that even simple life can't arise spontaneously and that an intelligent designer arose spontaneously from whole cloth?

Please be so kind as to point out a modern accepted theory that attributes the origin of maggots to the physical and chemical processes of rotting meat, and not to insects laying their eggs.

Do you have evidence that of life ever coming from something non living?

I understand that at some point there had to be an uncaused first cause...right?
