I am not saying I believe in god, but I find he may be hard to disprove. Consider this, in order to determine how life started from non-living material, humans will have to posit a good scenario to describe how such spontaneous life generation could occurr. We know that amino acids and various building blocks of life might be present in comets and that these could have been present on the early earth and perhaps tumultuous conditions such as hot volcanic springs and active lighting and weather could have given the spark to allow the building blocks to begin reacting. But going from normal chemical reactions to an actual reproducing organism with volitional will is quite a leap. Nonetheless, it should be science's goal to explain how this can happen, and then to try to reproduce it.
The problem comes when we reproduce it. Reproduction is absolutely necessary as final proof according to the way science works. However, if we reproduce life ourselves, would we be disproving god, or proving him? So it seems science belies itself. For science believes that to show how life started we must recreate it, but does science realize this would prove that you CAN create life? We will then be forced to accept the possibility that we could have been created by another lifeform. So you see, it is impossible to prove that life can not be created. Proving life can be created spontaneously without aid, will only prove that it can be created non-spontaneously and with aid as well. Kind of freaky huh? Therefore it is impossible to prove that life can only arise spontaneously unless you are there to witness it for yourself in a natural, non experimental setting. |
The explanation of life is death. In the Bible, it was stated that the giver or provider of life is GOD or the cause of all existence. If you recall, God in the Bible, particularly Deuteronomy 32:39 and I Samuel 2:6 is powerful. He, "the LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up." But the carrier and source of death is none other Lucifer or Satan.
So even if we may taste death (though the living at the coming of Christ Jesus will not taste death), that death is a temporal death for mankind, because Satan is the eternal death.
Life as some people view it is just temporal because of death, that is right materially speaking. Many human beings compare themselves to animals. But this should not be the case. We have to bear in mind that human life has a source and a purpose. Animals live to eat only. They do not think for clothes and scholarly situations. Thus, the life of animals is not known by animals, but by us.
