Why do you think putting your faith in nothing is better
than putting your faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster??

But we have him in a corner now!
Do you think he will acknowledge the existence of our deities?
Originally posted by @kellyjayI'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?
You submit you know what happens millions/billions of years ago do you not when it comes to the formation of life and some other things?
Because it matches our indoctrination? Because we like it? Because we were told?
We already know there is a better way to understand reality.
Originally posted by @black-beetleIt 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?

What is interesting is that instead of addressing the question directly you can only respond with ad-hominems. 😵
You asked me these two questions:
"1. Do you disagree that a methane-ammonia-reducing atmosphere would be fatal to life-forms?
2. Also would you care to explain how the jump is made from amino-acids to life? And how this somehow involves the scientific method?"
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😵
I gave you this link as well:

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

Faith in scientific inquiry does not give a solid answer, it is always subject to change with some new piece of data. Faith is not just in God, ..,.,
I said your beliefs have no basis in reality. Because you have none. You make people seem stupid and ignorant.

Yet you only trust what is acceptable according to specific peramaters which is treating that filter as important as doctrine. 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.

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.

Originally posted by @black-beetleYou 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 do not believe that😵

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?
