Re: Burning The Candle At Both Ends
If you cannot explain how life originated, NO, more than
that, you must prove how the first life began, or admit to
everyone on this site that you cannot.
You got us. We don't know precisely how life originated on this planet. That is a present hole in our scientific knowledge.
Feel free to hide your god in that gap since no one can find him anywhere else, but realize it's only temporary.

As a hard-core atheist you cannot rely on theistic

That's why I, and no scientist, regardless of belief, relies on the Theory of Evolution (theistic or otherwise) to explain the origin of life. The ToE has nothing to say about the origin of life. That will be on my gravestone and creationists will still be getting it wrong.
You sir, must explain in detail how the first life originated.
Must I? Why, because you demand it? What if I don't know?
I am not going to give you a pass on this.
And why should I care about that?

I am very happy to explain that I do not know how life began and what's more no one on earth does. There are some hypotheses but so far it's not understood and, what's more, it possibly never will be
What you believe is based on nothing but blind faith. It
has nothing to do with real science.
Like all creationists, you're terribly confused about pretty much everything about atheism, the ToE and what science is.
Atheism is a LACK of belief in god(s). What is it that you think I believe and how is science is involved?
Life does not come from nonlife. Life coming from
preexisting life is the only fact that is verified.Observable science verifies my assertion time and time
and time again.
And therefore what? That Christ didn't rise from the dead?
Have you considered what arguments you'd use for when replicating life IS formed from chemistry? It's only a matter of time you know.

Puny science will always be clueless about abiogenesis, but you forgot to mention that the process that produced the life-form changes evident in the fossil record (often referred to as "evolution") is also unknown and can never be known. Science can't even know what happened, let alone explain how it happened.

This is my fault for not trying to get you to understand the difference between a non-belief in god(s) and believing that there are no gods.
I wonder if I have the energy to do that? Maybe not, but what the hell.
A non-belief in god(s) - ie atheism - is a negative thing; it's a nothing, an absence. Like you have a non-belief in hundreds, maybe thousands of gods. You don't even think about Vishnu do you? It's not that you don't believe in Vishnu, you've never even considered Vishnu. You may not even have heard of Vishnu, Vishnu is a nothing to you. If asked, you'd say that of course you don't believe in Vishnu, but until that point you didn't know that you even could have a belief in Vishnu.
That's a non-belief and also an ignorance that a belief was even possible.
Atheists just have a non-belief in gods generally - even the ones they know about.
Now, I also believe that there are no gods. That's a positive thing. I can't possibly know that that is true so in that respect it's irrational. But that's what beliefs are, they're irrationally held opinion. I can give you evidence for my belief and argue my position but in the end it's a belief and therefore personally interesting but worthless as far as knowledge goes.
Why are you so hung up on admitting that you have beliefs? Weird.
I have no hang-ups admitting my beliefs; I've discussed my beliefs many times here. What is it that you think I have to admit to?

Emotive language but sure, we may well never know how life started.

Well no, we DO know the processes of evolution, that's why there is a thing called the Theory of Evolution.

Sure we do, reproduction and descent with modification, genetics and natural selection. That's how life works, we can watch it happening.

Really? How many times have you seen a mammal evolve from a reptile?
I think you might be confusing atheist folklore with facts.

Never. It didn't happen.
Mammals evolved from synapsids, not sauropsids.
How many times have you seen your god make a dinosaur, or anything else?

Since you claim to know how the life-form changes evident in the fossil record happened, please provide a step-by-step description of how insects evolved from non-insects.
