On the impossibility of replicating the cell: A problem for naturalism........So the replicating the planet earth would pose a similar problem, lol, , doesn't stop us from understanding & unveiling its mysteries.

And let me remind you again, a living cell, is a microscopic dot and thousands of these entire factories including all the complexity that we discussed above could fit on the head of a pin.

All the more reason to become a pantheist & formulate a view of the world that revolves around a natural theology. If all is already as miraculous & awe inspiring as this , then even non theists have every good reason to stay just where they are.

And since we cannot know that scientific naturalism is true unless we know that abiogenesis occurred without intelligent guidance, it follows that the truth of scientific naturalism cannot be known through either of the two avenues of knowledge postulated by the skeptic.


Everything points back to common ancestry, that aside, one simply uses 'Intuition" & common sense for the third avenue to knowledge. It is a work on progress, no one has the full scenario but since the advent of quantum physics we are alot closer. All hypothesis are tested & rigorously retested.

Knowledge, after all, isn’t merely a true belief; it has to be a justified true belief. What could justify the claim that abiogenesis actually occurred?

That life is here & left this wonderful fossil record & all evolution science points to common descent & ancestry.

"The notion that faith in Christ is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation, and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance called ‘faith.’"
