[QUOTE="Sinai, post: 377330, member: 1828"] Personally, I don't base my belief that God created life upon scientific evidence. I believe it because that's what the Bible says and because there is no evidence to the contrary. But even if abiogenesis were proven to be the way life began, it would not change that, since it would still not be contrary to the Bible. The only times the Hebrew word [i]bara'[/i] (indicating that God created something out of nothing or that God created something where no matter had existed previously) are used in the creation account is once for the creation of the universe and twice when telling of God's creation of the [i]neshama (or nishmath)[/i]--man's soul or capacity for special eternal fellowship with God. The rest of the time, God apparently used existing matter to make or fashion what he wished--but the Bible does not say how God did it. Science tends to be more interested in determining the when and the how, while the Bible tends to be more interested in telling us the why and the Who..... [/QUOTE]
