Lion even rejects God neutral pantheism.

The KJ Bible indeed was translated as part of a political agenda, although as you say not the Tudor political agenda of Henry 8th, but as part of Catholic King James' efforts to pacify Puritans...

The evidence suggests clearly that life DID arise spontaneously on Earth. Perhaps seeded from comets, et al, Because that is the nature of organic chemistry. And perhaps did so so many times before in prior universes.

They most certainly do not all believe in the same thing. They have myriad different beliefs, and have fought many wars and argued incessantly with each other over their differences in belief.

Many famous, very smart, and highly respected people in human history have been on one side or the other. Based on what they see as evidence and logic. That proves nothing. We can reject or accept the logic and evidence they base their ideas on. Only we can decide what to us is valid...

If we grant that it is intelligent design, then the existence of this missing in action creator is much harder to explain than the original question about the existence of everything else.

I have seen sources that claim primitive life may have come to Earth and been wiped out more than once during the Hadean Eon. Speculation, of course.

The salient questions would be at what point in time did day and night exist on the proto-Earth and at what point did life first appear on the proto-Earth. I don't have a clue or a source. Do you?

The most credible information I can find suggest that the sun is 4.6 billion years old and the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

The Earth's water is indeed older than the sun, but I find no creditable sources that suggest that the Earth formed before the sun.

Not disputing that protons and neutrons have changed form, but the quarks of which they are composed have not. Neutrons change form every 15 minutes or so. That's their half life, when not in a nucleus. When ancient suns exploded, it was hot enough to break nuclear bonds. Most estimates...

To put one issue raised here to rest, the matter/atoms of which the earth is composed is no older than the matter of which the sun is composed. Both are composed of elementary particles which have existed since the Big Bang. But the sun formed first

Isn't their a hidden topic here being assumed? The existence of this particular 'God'?

So God is an ancient space alien? Such as Olaf Stapleton's Star maker? Some have suggested it may someday be possible to create entire universes in a lab. I'm not certain how much control those who propose that idea think that the makers of those universes would have over their creations, :)

Then 'God' is simply another aspect of nature?

If RNA can be created in a lab, it can also occur naturally

The Roman world wanted a human God. Consider the near deification of the legendary Hercules. The Jesus story fulfilled that need.

The time adjustment is annoying, but no more than that. Could we do without it? Of course we could. The salient question is does it benefit more people than it hurts.

Too old or not, Biden won't sell out Eastern Europe to allow Russia to rebuild its empire.

Such as software workers, store clerks, computer people, accountants, health workers, teachers, military personnel, and so forth? Elites like Donald Trump?
