So someone who believes evolutionary theory doesn't necessarily believe the purpose of evolutionary theory is to explain how life came about?
Yet it fails to explain how non-life turned into life.
None of the above.
Ah, the religionist's game of telling me what their god isn't. Isn't detectable. Isn't testable. Isn't presentable. Isn't definable.
Is there anything else that your god isn't?
A theory can't "fail" at explaining things that it is not supposed to be explaining.
Scope. It matters. Evolution is not a theory about the origins of life. It's a theory about the diversification of already existing life.
If I had a coin for everytime I had to point that out.......
So what's the current most popular theory for the origins of life?
Abiogenesis. And it's not really a single theory. More a collection of theories / hypothesis.

Why do you pretend not to know this? Because I find it extremely hard to believe that nobody ever informed you of this.
In fact, I don't believe it for a second.
I do not accept your religious opinion as truth.I've heard of abiogenesis, but have never studied it in detail.
Hypothetically, if you realized the truth about how life came to be, wouldn't you want to tell everyone about it?
Abiogenesis is just a collection of theories, not necessarily the truth.

Why should we bother to prove our beliefs true if all you would do is say, "Ok, your beliefs are true." and go about your merry way. As ambassadors of Christ we are beseeching you ultimately to be reconciled to God, not just to give mere intellectual assent to some propositions.I'd do better than that...I'd prove it.
Otherwise I'd just be spouting nonsense.

If I did, would you repent?Wait a minute! You can prove your beliefs to be true? Have you been holding back all of this time?
First step first. Let´s see how far your proof goes into the details of your god concept.If I did, would you repent?
Logically, if an eternal infinite God exists, only this God would be able to prove itself to your finite self.
There you atheists go again, failing to use logic when thinking.
How is a 2000-year-old-man not dead?Logically, if an eternal infinite God exists, only this God would be able to prove itself to your finite self. If a finite man proved God's existence then that finite man would have to be God and that man was Jesus who is God.
You keep using that word "logical" in a manner that is unfamiliar to me.Christianity is the only logical way to explain God in this way.
Is this the same "God" that allegedly walked and talked in a garden that has no evidence of having existed, poofed people and animals into existence, and later, in a manner contrary to the modern understanding of genetics, populated the planet with a tiny group of individuals and animals that survived a global flood in an unbuildable boat, a flood that killed the dinosaurs in a manner that only *appears* to be 65 million years ago, because the Earth is really only somehow 6000 years old, yet remains, by every objective measure to date indistinguishable from nothing, or something else?I think we're well on our way to finding the truth, since we've all agreed it's rational to believe God is possible.
