      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.

      Is anyone arguing it was a random occurrence? Not something which wld naturally occur as a result of normal circumstances?

      Also 'random' is not the same as 'on its own.' Rain happens on it's own but is not random coz part of a natural process.

      Got it. So you think there must have been a cause behind that event that led to creation of a single cell. Correct?

          I am not asking how. All am asking is: do u consider the possibility of a "cause" for that event? Yes or No?

          I think thats what scientists think but I'm not sure. I don't know the hypotheses & don't have the expertise to evaluate them!

          Fair enough. You do believe in Evolution? Correct? If yes, is it based on evidence?

          Do we find an observable evidence for macro-evolution?
