This is the thread to dispute science. Tell us how we are all wrong. Pick a topic. Evolution, origins of the universe, perpetual motion..whatever.
There are a few general possibilities as to life began on Earth.
1. It was created when a god winked the universe into existence. This included the fossil record.
2. An unknown Intelligent Designer did it. One then has to explain where this designer came from, for Christians a back door to creationism.
3. Scientific evolution.
The outline of evolution is life evolving from small organisms to life today through natural selection, mutation, and the environment.
Arguments against
Complexity
The claim is life is too complex to developed through chance and selection. Complexity is a subjective human view.My view is life and the Universe is too complex to be designed by any being.
Violation Of Laws Of Thermodynamics
Claims are made the rise of self replication structures are prohibited by thermodynamics. All's that is needed is enough energy to overcome chemical entropy for reactions to self start. Simple spontaneous combustion as a loose example. Combine two chemicals and an energetic reaction occurs.
God Did It
I belie in a god, therefore he, she, or it did it. Creation myths are not seclusive to Abrahamics.
