We live in a reasonable world and yours is not reasonable even if it is possible
It seems like you are not aware that forensics will practically always do an autopsy to determine the actual cause of death.
It is also possible the stabber of the dead corpse was martians.
Yep. But not very plausible, though.
You understand the difference between "possible" and "plausible", right?
If your scenario is possible, why is my addition impossible?
I don't think I called your addition "impossible".
If the question is "who or what put those stabs there?", then the most reasonable answer are those things that we know engage in stabbing, which is humans.
It is "possible" (in the sense that it can't be shown false) that the stabber was an alien, an angel, the cat, or a god. However given what we know about knives and humans, it doesn't seem very reasonable to suggests anything but a human.
Now, let's contrast that with living things...
I know of no factory where living things come rolling down the assembly line. Do you?
But we DO know about a process that makes living things change over generations. And this process makes a boatload of predictions about what we should and shouldn't see in the world. And all of them check out - no exceptions.
If you find a dead body with multiple stab wounds and a knife sticking out of her chest then the most reasonable is a murder.
At first sight, yes. Now, what if the autopsy shows that the person actually died from a heart attack and was already dead for 2 days when the stabbing took place?
Besides either scenario refutes your original assertion.
What assertion?
Well really what can you say since you all would have us believe an organism as complicated as a jumbo jet
A jumbo jet is a machine, not an organism.
can self assemble under magical circumstances along with imaginary precursors. It is blind faith.
There is nothing "magical" about a natural process of mutate, survive, reproduce, repeat.
Neither do I require "faith" (blind or otherwise) to accept facts of reality.
