[quote]Then it would be equally easy for you to find them too![/quote]Why should I find evidence to debunk what I am advocating? Seriously, do you not understand how debates work? You say something with a support, then I attempt to counter that by saying something with a support, and we repeat until we are at a conclusion.[quote]I am not here to spoon feed you.[/quote]You stated what I was thinking.[quote]Try any proper scientific website.[/quote]"Right. Wikipedia here I come!"[quote]Try peer reviewed papers.[/quote]Are you recommending I google that? I'll try it anyway and let you know what I come up with later.[quote]This is your thread, and the original post does not fit the criteria you are now asking for.[/quote]How? And then again... Whatever you say, I can respond with the counter that you admitted, "This is a thread."[quote]It is speculated with no evidence as back up...[/quote]Replier hasn't read the OP.[quote]...and put forward by someone who has no qualifications in the relevant field.[/quote]Is it correct for me to assume that we are to only trust people that have good credentials related to the topic that they are talking about in order for us to regard whatever they say as something true? Answer carefully.[spoiler]...but my prediction is you won't answer the question.[/spoiler][quote]The irony of now requesting that from me to refute an unsupported claim in the first place should not be lost on anyone.[/quote]Are we now at that point in a conversation in which we trust the person that has appropriate credentials related to the topic in order for everyone to assume he's correct? If so, everyone should say, "Look! A scientist! Trust all his statements cause' he did study 'dis stuff. Let's not treat each other 'zif we were dirt."[quote]No one is claiming that evolution gives an answer to how life began.[/quote]Finally! Replier stated what I was thinking.[quote]He must know that if he has done any reading. It therefore cannot be a considered a problem with the theory of evolution, as evolution has nothing to say on the matter.[/quote]Repeating statement, "...evolution has nothing to say on the matter."[quote]The question of how life began, abiogenesis, is unanswered so far by science.[/quote]Finally, some reasoning. I whole-heartedly agree with this.[quote]We simply do not now yet.[/quote]Oh no. Another statement about the fact that we have no explanation as to one of evolution's fundamentally building blocks; and so, as an atheist, we believe it to be true by faith, and then proven somehow by some scientist with some credentials with some evidence that we have no idea how to obtain or explain.[quote]To even claim that the fact that we can't yet explain abiogenesis has any impact on evolution is incredibly dishonest or hugely ignorant.[/quote]What?[quote]So within the first two lines of the article, the author is either lying or showing that he doesn't understand the subject he sees fit to talk about, it really is that simple.[/quote]The Replier shows that he hasn't gone farther than two sentences in the OP.
