OK Lucifer then!Er, no. You don't hear me complaining about electrical engineering and plasma physics research do you? FYI, the term "satan" comes from the root word "adversary". It essentially describes the human "ego" when it sees itself (thinks of itself) as being "separate from/independent of" God. It's not a disembodied entity.
How did we get here? THe question has been asked by many but answered by few. Creationists will tell you that we are offspring of Adam and Eve. Evolutionists will say that we evolved upward from some distant apelike hominid somewhere in the past. I want to go back further. For Creationists, the answer is easy- God made Adam and Eve. That case is closed. But for evolutionists the answer is not so easily put forth. Evolutionists always seem to respond with something along the lines of "ToE doesn't deal with origins..." But I want to know what evolutionists actually think about the matter. Where did that supposed common ancestor come from? If all life shares this supposed CA (common ancestor), where did it come from?
I know that evolutionists first response will be "ToE doesn't deal with that..." I want to say rubbish. You must have some theory, idea, guess, or hypothosis of everything came from and how every life form got started and I would like you to share that.

I'd like to know what caused life to happen,
given that we don't see new life happening anywhere.
It was uncaused, or followed naturally from base principles, which is kind of the same thing.
Hmm. Things that have no cause.
I just can't find that list:

Lots more reading for you thenI've not yet read about these base principals!
Most things are.They would be fun to work with in the lab.
Well, I don't see how that follows.We should be able to find
them at work everywhere.
I'll search for these principles.
No Google results found for "the base principles that form life".
Keep trying, they are out there!No results found for "base principles that form life".
Closed? Where the heck did God come from???????
What is life? We only know it as a part of the void. The tiny daylight between glimpses of darkness. So naturally God is supposed to be like our thoughts and observations. However, how do you comprehend things that you have no observation of? Reasoning and logicalness do not work when you haven't observed things that don't have beginnings or endings! Isn't that comforting to those of faith in Christ. It should be.
Since our existences most likely are the tiny daylights between our known deaths (the befores and afters), then how could life be known, except that we are observing it in the brief? That only proves our lack of knowledge and not knowledge of the unknown things that exist despite what we think that we know.
Yet, does our opinion mean anything beyond the grave. Absolutely not, since its power only affects our short excursion. Any body daring enough to give room for the unknown? Intelligence, I believe, begins with respect towards the truth. Anyone patient and honest enough to say those forever words in our glimpse of things will be remembered: "I don't know!" Dare to be what this world is not humble and respecting. Isn't this akin to loving and caring?
Have a good day.
