Creationism, not evolution, caused my crisis of faith.

I've often been asked if evolution caused me to lose my faith in God. No, but creationism did lead me to seriously question my faith about 8 years ago.

@trebob27

Thanks for quick reply

3) Are you comfortable with the growing shift toward "alien spore theory" since the genesis from non-life (amino acids, proteins) to life (err, life) is impossible even when attempted under highly controlled conditions by scientists with huge incentives for wishing it so?

[trebob27]

@BrotherofWord I have warned you once about looking at my channel rules and making sure your statements are accurate. I won't warn you again.

[trebob27]

@BrotherofWord Also, bouncing around from video to video repeating the same debunked creationist nonsense does not constitute checking your claims for accuracy.

[trebob27]

@BrotherofWord You were warned twice, told to look up said rules, and you broke them anyway. You are now done commenting on my channel.

@BrotherofWord Hello again BrotherofWord. I wanted to leave you one last reply on here and I'm even going to unban you so you can respond. You referenced what you called the "alein spore theory" (Which it's not a theory, it barely qualifies as a hypothesis). Dawkins never put forward such an idea, it was intelligent design creationist William Dembski who put forward this idea and Dawkins was referencing him.

@BrotherofWord Dawkins mentions this in a video at youtube.com/watch?v=6XpP5jsg5k­­M at 4 minutes and 40 seconds. I now give you one more chance to demonstrate you can be honest and retract your claim that actual scientists are the ones putting forth as you called it the "alien spore theory" and admit the idea actually finds its roots in creationism.

[trebob27]

@BrotherofWord Also, your saying scientists have "huge incentives for wishing it so" only shows you have no idea how science works.

@BrotherofWord "Are you comfortable with the growing shift toward "alien spore theory""

There is no such shift. People who make this claim are usually quote mining Richard Dawkins. Look up the rest.

@FyouWanker The reason nobody confirms it a fact is because that's not how science works. In scientific vernacular, nothing is a fact, there is nothing deemed to be self-evident. A hypothesis is what describes an idea with little or no substantiation, a theory is the term used to describe an idea backed up with evidence. Evolution is a theory, but so is gravity. Calling something a fact implies that there's nothing more to learn, which is counter-intuitive to the purpose of science.
