>> I believe in evolution,

So, you accept that Humans evolved from Chimps, which evolved from Lemurs, which evolved from some rodent, which evolved from fish, which evolved from some single cell creature... a bacteria of some kind?

Just to be clear, I accept this myself... and have ever since I fully understood the highly conserved nature of the Ribosome... A truly impressive sub-cellular machine.

>> I just don't buy the nonsense of how you get something from nothing

Its all about energy, entropy and time.

I currently study this stuff (and have for the past few years) as my hobby. It is a hard problem, but I fully expect creating a single cell organism, from raw materials, will be a college biology project some day. In a few decades perhaps.

Kind of like airplanes. Man tried for centuries to figure out flight. But now, humans traveling in the air is routine and the machines are very well understood... and continually being improved.

Personally, "I believe" that life being created from nothing is a law of nature... like gravity. It is a direct consequence of entropy in an abundant energy environment.
