Without the absolute, (God) no morality, yes. No coherence at all really. Nothing the atheist would understand.

"Even if a biogenesis was proven, it does not prove that it did happen"

- incorrect, if we can demonstrate abiogenesis CAN occur under conditions of an early earth then we have provided evidence it DID occur under such circumstances.

this is why we perform scientific experiments in the first place.

"whatever.. just doesn`t change the fact that your correction is nonsensical to me and thus meaningless"

- incorrect, my correction is not simply for your benefit but for benefit of everyone who happens apon this thread.

" you will find out that not only is the theory of evolution humans biggest failiure in science"

- you havnt presented any evidence of this and there is significant scientific evidence to the contrary.

"times we live in are dangerous and they are quickly changing, limiting our freedoms to debate faith. So please, look at this.. watch?v=tN1lyLcRn2k"

- yes and this is mostly conducted by the religious who do not want their religious beleifs to be scrutinized

"It is built on, in your opinion a logical fallacy."

- incorrect, logical fallacies are objectively defined in the dictionary and their commital is contingent only on logic itself

"Anyway.. fun talking with you.. I really believe you need look deeper into this and you will find out"

- again, your projecting your own needs onto me: if this were the case you would be able to address my arguments :)

"Ah there is no problem for an imaterial being that has the power and the knowledge to create matter"

- you have no evidence that knowledge is required and the unintelligent thing in question has the exact same power.

" the problem only arise if there is no mind or intelligence."

- you've failed to demonstrate this is the case. try again :)

@Mekelsior

"So your argument that something that does not have intelligence ie mindless, being the cause of the universe is debunked by yourself."

- incorrect, i just demonstrated how it was the more logical conclusion with reference to occams razer.

- in the first question that preceded i demonstrated why your claim regarding a mind was nonsensical

- in the second question that preceded i demonstrated that the immaterial influencing the physical was as much a problem for your god :)

@Mekelsior

"Not at all, it does not argue from ignorance"

- incorrect. an argument from ignorance fallacy asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false.

Your statement, regarding a god creating the universe fits this to a 't' ie. 'i dont know how else y could have happened therefore x must be responsible' at no point do you provide evidence of a causal link.
