Just a few more comments to add to this thread. If life came to earth via meteorites and comet clouds, traveling the universe with the building blocks for life on them, where did the building blocks originate from?
Here's a scientific explanation. 'What if life didn’t start on Earth at all? What if the building blocks came from space, drifting through the cosmos for millions of years. Astronomers have discovered amino acids in comets, and even alcohol floating in distant clouds of gas and dust (alcohol causes lots of these idea's to make sense)
Maybe it wasn’t the organic chemicals that came first, but the process of 'self organization'. There are examples of inorganic chemicals and metals that can organize themselves under the right conditions. The process of metabolism came first, and then organic chemicals adopted this process'.
I know God has a sense of humour because that's where we got ours from, this stuff must be amusing to him.
I often think of the conversation God had with Job about creation.
Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, (no snowflake is alike and all have 6 sides to their amazing designs, perhaps the blueprint for these was traveling in a comets tail)
Job 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? (a time when there would be microscopes and non stop wars).
Perhaps if scientists today were more like the scientists of the past that believed in God. Then their discoveries would contain more revelation than foolish supposition.
By the way scientists may know the elements contained in water H2O but they don't have a clue what water actually is.
