Just bolding one of the meanings is not doing much for your argument.

Where do the "molecules" come from and are they temporal or eternal?

I would say "space-time", but you would have to know a bit on quantum theory to see what I am talking about.

Besides, who cares? What if nothing is "eternal"? So what? How does that prove the existence of God? It only proves that the second law of thermodynamics ("entropy increases") is correct.

And if you are seeking for the conditions for something to be eternal, check out the third law of thermodynamics:

Lots of things exist outside our ability to observe and measure them

Perhaps. Or perhaps you are deluding yourself.

I repeat; Spontaneous generation is an old and discredited theory

And I repeat: You need to read a bit about the appearance of molecules in vacuum. Look into the Casimir Effect, for starters. Just because you have not kept up to date with modern science, it does not mean that it has not advanced.

As our instruments improve perhaps we will find that "vacuums" are not empty at all. How do you know they got everything out in the first place?

Greg - with all due respect, I feel it is not meaningful for us to go further in this correspondence at this level. Some of the questions you ask are mysteries only to you. Seriously, if you are interested, do read a bit on various areas of science.
