Creationists: Explain how life was created.

[pitabread]

Note: Not looking for Bible quotes. I'm well aware what it says in Genesis.

What I want is an explanation beyond what is written in Genesis (or any other religious text) that specifically explains how it is possible to create life forms from scratch. Explain how a creator, supernatural or otherwise, would have created fully-formed life forms on Earth.

Describe the mechanisms, energies, forces, processes, etcs, that are involved in bringing fully-formed organisms into existence.

How God's unmaterial and eternal FIAT interacts with the universe of space, time, and matter is a mystery we will never be able to fathom in this life, and in the world to come it won't matter.

By God, thats your explanation

 

[pitabread]

Not with that attitude you won't.

 

[pitabread]

That's no more an explanation that describing how a house is built by saying "by humans".

I'm looking for something better.

I wonder will he have the nerve to ask that on the last day

No your not, your playing with fallacious rhetoric.

I'm asking creationists how life was created. If you don't have an explanation, then feel free to move on.

 

[John Bowen]

Much like a movie is projected on a movie screen . Everything is pure energy light to takes on a vibration until it becomes matter. What appears solid to us is really just atoms and they can be changed proven by quantum physics . Thats how Jesus changed the water into wine he projected his consciousness on the water and the very atoms became wine. Change the film strip whats being projected the screen changes.

When you dream, you create a whole world in your head, just like that...... You can close your eyes and create anything you want right now just by using your imagination.

Maybe we are created in the imagenation of God....

I'm curious as to why you think anyone would have this knowledge?

Its called the primary first cause dude, the unmoved mover. This goes back thousands of years, to at least Aristotle. No matter how many times or ways you ask that falkacious question you ask in circles, thae answer does not change and you know it.

I'm not asking about the origin of the universe. I'm asking about the appearance of fully-formed life forms on Earth.

No matter how many times or ways you ask that falkacious question you ask in circles, thae answer does not change and you know it.

How is asking for an explanation as to how fully-formed life forms were created a "falkacious[sic] question"?

If people are going to claim that life forms were created fully-formed, it seems perfectly legitimate to ask how.

Why not? Even a working hypothesis would be a start.

You are asking a group of people who base their understanding of creation upon the Bible to not use the Bible to explain creation. This is analogous to asking a Biologist to explain evolution without using scientific principles. Have you asked a Biologist to explain human evolution without using Science?

 

[No Swansong]

For the record by the way I am an evolutionary creationist. To me the best explanation for the evidence we have is that God created through the use of evolution. Why God would do this? I don't know.

What part of God formed man of the dust of the earth and breathed His breath into him and He became a living soul do you not understand??? That is all the explanation there is. His breath gave live to a statue made from the dust of the earth. His breath was the power. Enough said.

Bad analogy.

There is a HUGE difference between knowledge of our natural world thousands of years ago, and knowledge of our natural world today. The very concept of 'biologist' wasn't even in existence thousands of years ago.

Right. So this is an example of an explanation for how species were created that goes beyond just quoting the Bible.

Creationists argue that organisms were formed fully created (e.g. not evolved). I want creationists to offer an explanation of how life forms could have been created fully formed, in a similar manner to how evolution otherwise explains how species arose.
