Aside from this being a non-sequitur... How do you figure?

How are you posting?

The accomplishment of scientists in the laboratory is staggering, yet they cannot create life, it very much does go to the thread.

Unfortunately it is a fatal wound to your claims, so I can see why it would annoy you.

They have created the building blocks of life. Self replicating RNA molecules, and amino acids, however life is not necessary. Just because you have the formula for life doesn't mean life will always occur. Not being able to yet create life from non-life does not make it impossible, nor would it somehow constitute as evidence to the position that life was created. That's the problem with religion, it sits around in the dark corners of science screaming "HA! You can't do it, must be god!" Then in a few years/decades they have to move to a different corner.

You completely avoided answering the question. How is it they are not able to create life, especially when they have the building blocks?

Is it possible for one of you faith haters to answer a straight question?

Why can't you correctly guess my credit card number? You know all ten Arabic numerals, and the number is only 16 digits in length.
Expected silly bovine scatology from someone completely lacking in logical thinking skills. Why can't you admit you have no answer?

The answer is there for those with functioning brains to discern.

the failue of man to replicate something != proof that that something did not occur

So the answer is there but you cannot answer, so you provide a snarky remark equal to jerking off. If something did not occur we would not be here, nothing living would. Scientists point to building blocks of where life started, but they cannot create life. Science is very powerful a amazing great tool that has brought us many advances and knowledge, but it has failed to create the beginning of life in any form. The cannot even bring the dead back to life. They can prolong life, repair life, even manipulate life, but they cannot create it, even in the simplest form. And there is no void between science and faith, that is nothing but the wishful thinking of rabid controlling atheists. St Jude and many other Christian hospitals and schools study and practice science on a daily basis. It would help if there were actually intelligent angry atheists, so they could be taken marginally seriously, but time after time they are driven by hatred instead of logic.

But please humor us more with your comedic gyrations.

You seem to be addicted to non sequiturs.

I'm not the drooling moron who thinks that the fact that man has yet to create life from scratch as of some arbitrary point in time (e.g., 16 May 2013) has some bearing on the topic of abiogenesis.

You can't answer a simple question without scathing hatred and insults, not one shred of intelligence. And you have the ironic gall to use the word moron.

Your picture should be in the hall of fame of irony.

1. Insults don't help anything.

2. These debates have become mind-numbingly insipid affairs. The fact that there is any debate is, frankly, hysterical. I'm done. Moving on, or whatever.

Old world or young, I'm grateful to be in it and to be endowed by our Creator with rights to exercise here!

It's good to see that some atheists recognize these rights, but overall most of the atheist "missionaries" I see preaching on the Internet also hate guns in the hands of civilians.
