Answer 1

Christianity SUCKS!

Answer 2

We have the fundamental mystery of existence: something always existing (and coming from literally nothing). Whether we keep god in or out of our beliefs, we're left with this. If we like the cosmology of an infinite cycle where universes are created, expand, and go away, we're still left with how this infinite cycle came to be. Therefore, at this level, we're talking about something even beyond spontaneous generation (generation of life from inorganic material).
That said, we then put our focus on the universe & how life came to be in it. Now, here's a difficult part: what is life? Life is something humans arbitrarily define -- we define sentient beings as higher forms of life and define rocks and other things as not being life. Is this valid? Are we any different from a rock?
Ok, let's assume we stay in the realm of what we normally define as life. With that, it only makes logical sense and is explained in far better detail in the following: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/abioprob.html

Answer 3

i've got self belief the peanut butter argument drawing near.... i'll decline, nonetheless truly existence did kind from non existence as quickly as. The situations below which this surpassed off have been unique in that there became no existence previously that factor. the 1st complicated molecules that would have formed amino acids that should no longer incredibly be referred to as existence might have had to return at the same time. it is not too unusual for those to kind given the final situations, besides the shown fact that immediately they might have been ate up by employing something else. probable micro organism, yet on the time there became none so those molecules had the possibility to persist and likely ended up arranging into extra complicated varieties that must be seen some form of self replicating gadget which later might have formed existence. So, no. existence would not spontaneously ensue out inorganic matter, besides the shown fact that components mandatory for somewhat user-friendly existence can. immediately such an experience might probable pass disregarded outdoors a lab, and the ensuing existence might probable be destroyed in simple terms approximately in the present day by employing any form of nearby preexisting existence. probable micro organism. yet I nonetheless have a dreadful feeling there is not any interest in this and it truly is in simple terms yet another existence cant in simple terms ensue, it desires God, I win argument.

Answer 4

No, I don't believe in spontaneoud generation in the sense that maggots suddenly appear on a hunk of meat. I know that they are the eggs of flies. I do believe in abiogenesis, which describes the mechanism for amino acids to have formed virus-like algea which then changed over time. You are either being a smartass or legitimately don't understand abiogenesis. If the later is the case, email me, I can give you a better explanation that space here permits.

Answer 5

Do you REALLY understand the Theory of Spontaneous Generation? If you did, I don't think you would have asked this question.

Answer 6

You're being a little too general. No, I don't. But spontaneous generation of what here hon? Bands? Ice cream? Humans?

Answer 7

Spontaneous generation... so what is that, like immaculate conception of many people of a certain age...when born you get a spontaneous generation?

Answer 8

Spontaneous generation has been proven to be false. It currently stays as an argument

Answer 9

No. Of course Pythagoras believed that there were only 4 elements. That does NOT invalidate his geometry theorem.

In science, we keep he things that work and if they are ever proved wrong, we DISCARD the old theory in favor of ones that new information and better understanding tell us make more sense.

Answer 10

you have to be more specific. I know quantum mechanics says that particles randomly pop into and out of existence all the time. That sounds crazy, but they have evidence for it, so whatever, I can accept that.

But bigger things? I doubt it.

(Sidenote: My atheism has nothing whatsoever to do with above beliefs. My atheism just means I don't believe that god exists -- nothing more.)

Answer 11

Only the first one, but even that wasn't spontaneous, more of a chemical certainty.
