Untold millions of people respect His word,

Good for them. Pointless, but good.

so you have an opinion. So called science also is opinion and belief. It doesn't do any good to present it as more than that.

In your opinion.

The bible has been fulfilled more than enough ways to allow and even force many to believe it has to be from God! Most of the prophesies are now history. No exaggeration.

Major exaggeration -- many of the prophecies were history even as they were written.

The folks He used to write His word did fine. The folks who write the ever shifting fables of so called science ought to be embarrassed, and quit.

Again, in your opinion.

They sure will be turning in their present state based ideas one day. Now you can make wild claims that this state will last for all time and the sun will burn out one day, or etc....but that is religion only. Not a tiny shred of proof.

I'll take this into consideration, when you show proof of a different state past.

The empty echo of your unenlightened emasculation of history is evidence that the exegesis you extol cannot be entertained as anything but extreme expressions that oppose the eyewitnesses.

And who exactly are you trying to appear clever to?

The claim was made that some sort of fraud was perpetrated by the writers of the bible. The charge was that the prophesies were written after the events. The accusation is unsustainable in the cases where it could even be considered as a possibility, and utterly refuted in most cases, where such a sinister and slanderous slur supersedes sane suppostion.

Still trying -- and failing -- to sound clever... for whom, I wonder?

But it was okay for you to make the point:

... wasn't it?

When I read your post, I was glad I had asked it.

Ain't no biggie though.

I'm well-used to putting up with you guys':

"It's a stupid point, unless we make it" attitude.

Except I never tried to use the existence of God and spirits as some kind of disproof that biological life originated with chemistry. I don't even see how that argument is supposed to logically work.

It's like if someone said that human bodies are made out of atoms, and you responded by saying that black holes aren't made out of atoms. True, but completely irrelevant.

That claim would be correct.

Angels were created ex nihilo, before the elements.

No elements = no chemistry.

And for the record, I can make this even harder.

God, Who is self-existent, even predates the angels.

God and angels are spirits. Spirits are not physical and have no chemistry. :doh:

Ya.

I kinda figured that when I asked this:

Then that was a pointless question.

So you Arab phone "biological life" into this discussion to nullify my point?

Reality can take a hike.

You do realize that the questions asked in the OP refer to reality, right?

As it can now take a hike, you no longer have anything to contribute to the discussion.

I think we're a ways from the OP now.

And I have to ask:

Have I ever "contributed to the discussion"?

Only as comic relief and/or a cautionary tale for Christians.

Now, back to the OP....
