of course i do, and you are cofusing the axiom with categories of logic. ]

Go back and reread my posts. I made myself clear on this several posts ago. I am not applying the axiom to the categories. It's you who's confused. Sheesh.

abiogenesis is a CATEGORY. it is simply
"Life was caused, and its cause was non-intelligent". It is a category with a nice little name. there are not an INFINITE amount of replacement theories. no amount of anger at me will create a new replacement. there are an infinite amount of logical ways abiogenesis could have happened, but not alternatives to abiogenesis itself.

THe axiom you keep citing is specifically about CAUSES and EFFECTS- abiogenesis is neither. it is a CATEGORY. i say Hume would agree with me because I believe he would be smart enough to know this.

Quit whining and realize, admit, or whatever that I already made this point several posts ago, and called the categories "natural" (abiogenesis) and "supernatural". I do not claim that there's a replacement for the "abiogenesis" category. But within each category, there are an infinite number of possible hypotheses. That's where the axiom comes into play.

Geez, I've had to repeat that three times now. It seems like it would sink in after a while. Instead, you basically restate what I've already said, claim it as your own, and insist that I haven't seen it yet.

Great, Hume would agree with you about a point I made several posts ago, and that it appears you're trying to take credit for. Do you think he'd agree with me that you're plagiarizing and being a bit disingenuous? Here again is what I posted a couple of pages ago:

I've come up with two possible hypotheses: either you're being disingenuous or you have the reading comprehension of a rock. There's no doubt an infinite number of other hypotheses to explain this phenomenon.

I believe you do. I believe that i will wake up tomorrow. I also believe that you believe that life arose from nonlife spontaneously. I believe this.

Apparently you also count Argumentum ad nauseam in your arsenal.

Close your eyes and click those red slippers together three times and maybe you'll get back to Kansas as well, Dorothy. Or believe and clap your hands so Tinkerbell won't die. Sheesh.

What you believe is in my head makes no difference in what's actually in my head. Actually, what you believe about something makes no difference to the actual state of that something.

Explain how the chemicals on earth's young life were enormously improbable.
I'm sure every single person researching abiogenesis will be thankful of your groundbreaking reply.

Not spontaneous, not by pure chance. Strawman. Understand that.

Some psychic you turned out to be. Now we'll never hear how men and dust bunnies share a common ancestor.

Don't you mean "punctuated equilibrium"?

Yeah, he's a theist. He's an elder (and sometimes preacher) in the Church of Christ (a very conservative church). I personally thought his answers pinpointed him as a Christian. I think Christians are easy to read, but I can also see how you think he could be a deist.
