For those who claim that you need abiogenesis in order for the theory of evolution to be true, could you please explain one thing?
What part of the theory of evolution would need to change if the first life on Earth were created by God, and all the life and species we see today evolved through natural processes from that first created life that we all share as a common ancestor?
reject away:I completely accept phsychosomatic reactions. What I reject is your claim that they are based on faith.
Have you grown tired speculating about evolution and now you want to speculate about God?For those who claim that you need abiogenesis in order for the theory of evolution to be true, could you please explain one thing?
All that we know about God's creation is what we learn from the Bible, so I'm assuming you are referring to the God of the Bible? If you are, the Bible already gives us the details on how the first lifeforms emerged (try reading Genesis), and those details completely contradict abiogenesis/evolution theory. So your questions have no basis in reality.What part of the theory of evolution would need to change if the first life on Earth were created by God
The God of the Bible did not create all life from a single common ancestor (again, try reading Genesis). Obviously you are referring to some imaginary god of your own making.and all the life and species we see today evolved through natural processes from that first created life that we all share as a common ancestor?
"everywhere else", being Mars and the Moon?
That's akin to scooping a cup of water from the ocean at the coast of France, not seeing any fish in the cup and then stating "there are no fish in the ocean".
Also, what is your evidence of "All life is designed by the Creator"?
i can give you some well known, and documented, testable, evidence, but you will outright reject it.
the placebo effect.
there is no evidence to the patient at all that a sugar pill will work.
but that patients faith that it WILL work, makes it work.
this effect is so powerful that double blind tests have to be devised to combat it in clinical trials.

reject away:
One of the most common theories is that the placebo effect is due to a person's expectations. If a person expects a pill to do something, then it's possible that the body's own chemistry can cause effects similar to what a medication might have caused.

I don't think it was abiogenesis. Abiogenesis was discarded more than a century and a half ago in favor of biogenesis. I think it was the later. Life comes from life. But who knows?For those who claim that you need abiogenesis in order for the theory of evolution to be true, could you please explain one thing?

faith, or belief, is not built on deception.You do realise that the patients don't realise it's a sugar pill and think it's the real thing? Are you trying to say that faith is built on deception?

because it's a direct response to your request for evidence of faith based healing.And? How is that comparable to anything we have been talking about? How is it applicable to the topic?

How in the world, is someone taking a pill, they think is real medicine, have anything to do with faith based healing?
Strange, isn't it?
When people say that faith healing works, they usually mean that if you have faith in God you will be cured by some supernatural force. People who claim that faith healing is a sham are usually the ones pointing to the placebo effect, showing that it isn't a deity who is doing the healing.
Whois might as well claim that sugar is a cure-all because it works so well in those studies.
I've experienced healing without taking anything.....pure faith.
Whois thinks God concepts are ridiculous, if I recall correctly.
Whois thinks sugar is the miracle cure though.
