CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That question is moot, actually; because the kind of life I'm talking about is a very high form of life: a race of angels.
Coming into existence ex nihilo, with the ability to do everything we can, and more.

Again, moot points.
What do such details have to do with abiogenesis?
Remember the point I'm addressing:

Quite a lot considering you are claiming they exist because of abiogenesis. edit: or ex nihilo, which doesn't even make sense.
Anyway, you claimed there is a race of angels and then refuse to elaborate!
I wonder why you give people the impression that you talk bilge. Baffling, isn't it?

I do?
I thought I'm the one who claims there's no such a thing as abiogenesis?
Ex nihilo doesn't make sense?
Even a child can understand creatio ex nihilo.
Angelology 101 is down the hall --- I'm pwning abiogenesis.
Not at all.
Given the fact that your first sentence was just the opposite of what I say.
(But, of course, like everyone else who misquotes me, I'm still automatically wrong, no matter what I say --- right?)

I apologise for misquoting you.
It took me a minute to work out exactly what you were claiming, but knowing it involved a race of angels I wasn't too worried about it.
This is the trouble. A child can understand the concept of a race of angels being created out of nothing; a child would probably embrace the idea of a race of angels being created out of nothing. But, anyone over the age of 10 might have a few follow up questions.
Personally, my first reaction is that the idea doesn't make any sense. Then I try and ascertain if you actually believe this eccentric idea by asking you for more details about these angels, which you are curiously reluctant to divulge. I then wonder, as usual, if you're just saying things for the sake of it
No. You just make truly eccentric assertions. You are claiming there is a race of angels made out of nothing. It seems sense to first establish that this race of angels actually exists. So where are they and what do they look like?

No, I don't.
Angelology, the branch of theology having to do with angels, has been around a lot longer than I have.
I know what you're trying to do, Tomatoman; and it's not going to work.
Since angels show that life has indeed existed apart from abiogenesis, you want to challenge that life w/o even acknowledging what I'm saying first.
I can even take it a step further and say that God exists apart from abiogenesis, and I'm sure you'll challenge that too.
But I plan to stick to my assertion that life in this universe indeed exists apart from abiogenesis --- (not to mention existing apart from evolution as well).
If you want to man-up and say, "Yes, you're right. If angels exist, they would certainly prove that life exists apart from abiogenesis;" but I have a feeling your pride is going to get in the way, and you see what you think is a way out of having to admit I'm right by simply challenging the existence of angels.
But your zeal to bury my point with loquacious posts is backfiring and making yourself look bad by calling my theology "eccentric", when really it's one of the most basic theological teachings in history.

I'm trying to get you to tell me where these angels are and what they look like, but you're right, it doesn't look like it's going to work. You have no intention of answering those questions, because if you do it will just sound silly.
If angels exist it would be front page news everywhere for weeks.
Sadly for you, they don't
But, in a spirit of open mindedness I'm willing to be shown evidence to the contrary. In fact that is what I keep asking you for. Show us how you know a race of angels exist. Please.
How are you going to change the topic this time?

Why so angry?
If you want to man-up and say, "Yes, you're right. If angels exist, I'd first have to show how they came into being;" but I have a feeling your pride is going to get in the way, and you see what you think is a way out of having to admit you're wrong by simply baselessly asserting the existence of angels.

Think about that for a second... think really hard. Do you really mean that? I can think of many things we can do that simply mentioning them will get me banned. Do you really think angels do these things too?

Technically it's a star, but I don't think you will understand, so it's not worth going into.

Nobody can understand the things you make up until you explain these products of your imagination.

Made up, basic doctrine, literal interpretation; if it's past Genesis 1, does it matter?
