Just about to have dinner and will attempt something longer perhaps later. For now:
“life STILL had to begin somewhere”
Why. Give me the argument for that.
No theist believes that or they would have to believe God had a beginning, (unless they do not believe He is alive).
“life had to have a beginning” is an assumption. There is neither evidence or a logical argument for that assumption. As far as science is concerned, the only evidence so far is against a beginning, because life can only come from life.

[[Why. Give me the argument for that.]]
I already gave you the argument- because we know thigns have a beginning and an end now- this beginning and ending had to begin at some point- or else we’d all still be eternal IF life was always eternal- since it’s not eternal now, it had to start somewhere alogn the line
[[“life had to have a beginning” is an assumption.]]
No, it’s a conclusion based o n the evidence- there is no other rational explanation as outlined above
[[As far as science is concerned, the only evidence so far is against a beginning,]]
This isn’t true- based on what I outlined above- IF life always existed, and the was no ‘beginning’ since we know life indeed does have a beginning and ending, this beginning and ending HAD to begin somewhere. Life gets created, becomes subject to the second law, and burns itself out, ending the life of hte species-
