As Super concluded, once again we see that there is no point discussing this with such ignorant, closed-minded, brainwashed people incapable of critical thinking, but my last reply to the nonsense above it to Air Profit:

Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life, only the evolution of life, a fact against which there is no more respectable debate.

As for the origin of life, you're right of course to say it is not fully explained yet. But, do your research and you will find that great leaps have recently been made by science in determining the possibilities that do not involve magic or supernatural, imaginary superheroes. Science seeks answers all the time, and without praying, scientists discover things and find explanations founded in observation, experimentation, reason and logic. Just a century ago or so, there were no jet airplanes, either, nor penicillin, the polio vaccine, men on the moon, KFC, Audis, Nikes, iPads, birth control pills, MRI machines, awareness of Pluto or countless other space objects, Space Shuttle flights, laser beams, LASIK surgery, email, velcro, heart bypass surgery, contact lenses, HIV, HIV medicine, air bags, television, helicopters, microwave popcorn, CPDLC, knowledge of quantum mechanics, pacemakers, nuclear submarines, weather radar...all the results of developing science rather than waiting for an imaginary friend to create them. They were always possible things, but not yet invented/discovered/explained by developing science.

Atheism is the absence of belief in others' imaginary friends based completely on the knowledge of all that is in reality. You're an atheist about Zeus, I presume? And 1000's of other gods? Clearly, your misunderstanding of atheism is 180 degrees out from the reality. As you do, the deeply faithful believers who flew into the WTC also had their beliefs. Do you mind their beliefs? I do. Having insane, ridiculous, false, invalid, illogical, unreasonable, supernatural religious beliefs is NOT ok with those of us living in the real world, particularly in the face of modern knowledge, evidence and the scientific method. Your similar beliefs are equally problematic and revolting, with dire consequences as you brainwash yet another generation into ignoring progress. It doesn't matter if your imaginary friend makes you feel better: It's still not true no matter how much you believe it. If there is just one bit of evidence about your supernatural superhero (actual evidence, not the nonsense you perceive to be evidence) then you're the first to know about it, ever. Please share, anytime, with those who will quickly dismiss your "proof" as baloney, using logic, reason, evidence and facts.

Just as "theory" means different things depending on its application in the English language, so does your invocation of "faith." Faith that the refrigerator light is off when the door is closed has nothing to do with the supernatural-style ignorance of overwhelming evidence and the lack of opposing evidence, testable and repeatable experimentation, illogical statements and submission to/adoration of/fascination with/reliance upon your own personal favourite imaginary friend.

It's just so shocking to know that otherwise intelligent people just cannot get past this imaginary friend of theirs, despite easily getting past 1000's and 1000's of others' imaginary friends that have come and gone like the wind over the last few 1000 years....as yours will to future generations with better education, more information and yet more answers to today's scientific mysteries. You got past Santa, right?

Have a nice day! And when the pollutions makes you sick, I am sure you will rely upon science to help you out with that, rather than talk into the air to your imaginary friend in search of assistance...or maybe not!
