This is exciting for me as I've been following this branch of life's origins for some time.

Gen 2:7 And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

They are getting closer.

This is fascinating…and sooooo true. I’m doing a Genesis study right now, in depth, by Chuck Missler…focusing on how science, especially particle physics…is validating more and more of Genesis by the day. This stuff blows your mind!

Man cannot even define what time/space really are….and yet we have a God who is not a prisoner of either…..

No. Scientific paper. But Robert Hazen’s “Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life’s Origins” opened it up for me, and he refers to God a few times in his work.

LOL... Yeah but, they’ll never get it. Remember... these idiots are the same ones that, just a moment ago, were happy being the spawn of some rancid, flatulating cesspool of “primordial” slime. HA HA HA HA HA ....

“How these biological machines evolved remains to be explained, Luo said.”

No kidding. The evolutionists have been trying to sell catalyzing mud for years and now “a new study” offers the new and improved version of spontaneous generation.

ho hum.
