re: #182 Charles

Not a single scientist claims that the origin of life or the universe are “settled.”

Not one.

Well, Charles, you and I must be sourcing different material, or at least interpreting it differently. Every scientific text I’ve read and every documentary I view that touches on the question infers that life arose on earth spontaneously. There is no scientific basis for that assumption. It’s not a question of religion in my view, more a question of what we know about the material world and what we do not know.
