    What I take out of the article is that there were predispositions to the chemicals necessary for life to form. It was not random chance; the dice was loaded.

    Well, that proves God. After all, if A tends to produce B, then A has to have been set up by God.

    Sure I could see that implication there. But it would still have to be an accepting that life started from chemicals. If that crowd is okay with that, then I'm okay with them joining the party.

    The Dice were loaded! Well I suppose that is one way of looking at it. Do you think God shakes the dice? Naw!

    They originated from the fusion occurring in stars getting the matter heavier and heavier until they reach iron and at that point they go supernova and spread the chemicals across the cosmos. I like this game PapaG. =]

    Are you calling God a cheater? Here I thought you were a god fearing man. That's cold of you.
