      A skeptic is not someone who disagrees with any claim. Its someone who requires evidence to believe in things.

      Agreed. That's what we are. We demand evidence for abiogenesis, macro-evolution, origin of morality.

      And it abounds. (A biogenesis just means life beginning- we don't know exactly how.)

      Its unknown how life started. Scientists know how it cld have done but not ongoing process like evo so can't see it.

          I am not asking how. All am asking is: do u believe that da 1st living cell was formed from non-living matter?

          By definition, the first life must have come from non-life.

          This could have been down to natural processes or it could have been done by a magic space wizard.

          Course we'd need some evidence of said super being before it becomes a serious proposition. 1/2

          Yes. It would be ridiculous to simply assume its existence or propose it as an explanation.

          Also changes the problem coz if a god exists, he is an earlier form of life & have to work his origins out

          Of course. I'll go with the evidence. Might well have been inevitable like evolution. Something that's bound to happen.

          We know there was no life & then there was and approximately when this happened so obviously life started.

          Its that I don't know. I've said this many times. Origins of life are unknown.
