If God and the Flying Spaghetti Monster were one and the same thing it would be a legitimate question. Why is it better to believe in nothing than in the God of the Bible?

Do you think he will acknowledge the existence of our deities?
I thought you were an atheist.

I'm stupid and ignorant, and yet realize a problem with your question. No one knows what happened when it didn't happen to them, and even if it did happen to us that doesn't mean we interpreted it correctly. So what are our best methods for understanding?

Because it matches our indoctrination? Because we like it? Because we were told?

We already know there is a better way to understand reality.

Mind you, you had already ask me those two questions as a response to my post that con ...[text shortened]... pseudoscientific sources and you cultivate the obsession that "I keep on dodging". Interesting😵
It is a well known fact that the Urey-Miller experiment utilized water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2). Do you deny this fact? Or do you deny that a methane-ammonia-reducing atmosphere would be fatal to life-forms? What is interesting is that instead of addressing the question directly you can only respond with ad-hominems. 😵

I gave you this link as well:
https://evolutionnews.org/2012/12/top_five_probl/

Are you going to attack the author of this article as well rather than deal with its contents? 😵

What is this 'god' of which you speak? I suspect you mean a particular fantasy belief with no basis in reality.

I said your beliefs have no basis in reality. Because you have none. You make people seem stupid and ignorant.

Granted you accept it can change if you see something new that warrants a change. This does however keep some things out of your acceptable filter that may be true nonetheless. This is faith in your process since all things acceptable must be processed properly to be acceptable.
Whatever is out of my ability to evaluate it, are simply not evaluated by me. I cannot make hypotheses for epistemic objects whose existence I ignore regardless of the reality or non-reality of their existence per se. Where exactly is faith in here?

Do you understand that the experiment took place in the context of a specific theory of reality, according to which the first life forms arose spontaneously through naturally occuring chemical reactions? The experiment was done in order to demonstrate if the theory is viable or not. Do you understand that your question is irrelevant, and also aware of the fact that the experiment was conducted again and again with simulated atmospheres whose syntheses was different and yet the outcomes were supportive to the theory of abiogenesis, proving that the first life forms could well have emerge spontaneously through naturally occuring chemical reactions?

As regards the author of this article, yes, he is a pseudoscient too, whose false assumptions are based on false and discarded assumptions of pseudoscients like Jonathan Wells and his league, amongst else.

Do you understand that no life forms arose spontaneously from said experiment and that you claiming that it demonstrates how first life forms could well have emerged spontaneously through naturally occurring chemical reactions is wishful thinking at best? 😵

In believing all the important answers can be found where and how you are looking.

I am sure we have discussed this before and your being insulting here.

You believe the way your looking at everything within science isn't the proper way for inquiry into the life and the world around us? Maybe theses are not important questions? What!?

I just told you that the experiment was conducted again and again with simulated atmospheres whose syntheses was different and yet the outcomes were supportive to the theory of abiogenesis, proving that the first life forms could well have emerge spontaneously through naturally occuring chemical reactions.

How did you come to the false conclusion that "life forms arose spontaneously from said experiment" when you are repeatedly told that the outcome of the experiment was that several organic amino acids had formed spontaneously from inorganic raw materials?
