Will Science Discover How Life Originated? (evolution, God, verse, Roman)

[Seyorni]

Forgive me Sandy, but you are being obtuse. You are personalizing an observation on an accepted and universal human psychological trait. My observation that fixed religious views are resistant to reason or evidence is hardly a revelation.

You seem to take this as a personal attack and an attack on Christianity. Why would my posts not apply equally to Islam, Zoroastrianism, or Hinduism?
Your responses make me suspect that you're insecure in your faith. If you were to question my fervent belief that there exists a large island in the Mediterranean called Crete where they speak Greek I would take no offense whatsoever. I would present my evidence for it and, if you rejected it, I'd just shrug it off.

You present yourself as a Christian. I thought Christian's valued faith -- which is essentially a belief in something without adequate evidence to support it. I'd expect you either to offer evidence countering my points, or to revel in your resistance/faith.

Your response to my observation that The Establishment has historically resisted innovation and new ideas is also rather bizarre. Why do you assume I'm not talking about Islam?
My statement is true. No-one with any knowledge of history could possibly deny this. Why do you feel so threatened by the obvious truth?

Yeah whatever.

I don't think so. It can backup one or more theories but can not disprove them beyond doubt.

What's "it?" -- Referent, please.
What's trying to disprove what theories?

Will Science Discover How Life Originated?

It seems that 'god' and the 'big bang' are as far back as all parties are willing to tread.

Science can however discover how life didn't originate.

I was once a science hater, but it is fear of the many pointy objects scientists carry

[St. Thomas]

Aah, the origin of life. What do you mean, exactly? What constitutes life? Metabolisme? Is that all that is needed to call something `alive`?
If so, then the existing theory seems plausable. But is is and will remain a THEORY!

"...is and will remain a THEORY!" -- What's that mean? All scientific facts are theories. Earth revolves around Sun -- Theory!

Science has already discovered how life originated. Get with the program.
