No it does not. As you are a drop in the pool out of literally hundreds of the religious debates I have been in with atheists and it is becoming a hobby as of now.

I am not making a hypothesis but a theory as my reasoning is a result of actual testing.

Just because you yourself are of good character and a debater who does not stand on logical fallacies does not mean you account for the rest of Atheist-kind (new word coinage ;)).

You seem to have no idea what a theory is. Unless of course you are using it in the colloquial sense, in which case I would say what you are presenting is "just a theory". But while you look up the difference between scientific hypotheses and theories, you should also look up the meaning of "stereotype" and try to find out why it is bad to make generalized conclusions about groups of people.

I have no good reason to believe in chance, spontaneity or independent trials.

I find macro-evolution, the spontaneous increase in complexity and information to be one of the most absurd belief systems in human history.

Chance is what man calls the void where the knowledge of God was.

Great, because Evolution doesn't require any of those.

Except evolution is not the spontaneous increase in complexity or information. It's also not a belief system.... But I do have to credit you on your strawmanning abilities.

Chance is what man calls the void where the knowledge of God was.

And what exactly is this knowledge of God?

That's simply because you have no idea what (micro or macro) evolution is. You have this misconception in your mind, a strawman if you will, and you are rejecting that instead of actual evolution, which has nothing to do with "spontaneous increase in complexity".

You seem to be trying to suss something out here, no?

Atheism doesn't automatically make you a rotten person. Then again, it doesn't automatically make you a good person either.

Appreciate a Jack Chick tract?

Please tell me you don't actually buy into those things. 5 minutes of research could tell you that 99% of what Mr. Chick claims are outright lies (some of the most blatant ones are his lies about Catholics). I think he has probably done more to drive people away from Christ than any atheist ever did.

You seem to be trying to suss something out here, no?

At least he actually got the thread back on topic.

If it is, it makes good points.

What points are those, AVET? That the few weeks or months the peanut butter has been sitting on the shelf is enough time for the abiogenesis of life and the evolution of that life into a species (or species) that this fool could actually see with the naked eye?

Not really no. Did once, used to argue against any type of creation, then started really looking into it, and it's a evidently clear which theory is correct:

That is a prediction that Mr. Missler says the food industry assumes won't happen.

Jacobean English disappeared at the Tower of Babel.

It then began a slow comeback until it culminated in the 17th century; just long enough to produce the King James Bible.

Bumped for sjastro.

AV, you have performed far more resurrections than the bible claims Jesus ever did.
I did this for sjastro's benefit.

He seems to have forgotten half of what I believe on this subject.
