> we know for a fact that life and speciation didn't just appear ex-nihilo

Man takes a few years of school, reads a few books, and thinks he has a comprehensive idea of what happened supposedly millions of years ago.

Where were you when the earth was formed?

Man shits on school, books and descends into solipsism after reading about an idea he doesn't favor.

Even the most astute student of science would have to admit that the concept of where life began on Earth isn't proven. It's just a theory. We've seen evidence of evolution, so we know evolution exists. However, there is no second successfully reproduced experiment of Earth to see if the theory is correct. We keep finding potential candidates, but none have proven the theories yet.

At this point, the omniscient creator is not any less provable. While it might sound ridiculous, there's no more proof for other ideas. After all, even if you subscribe to the Big Bang, where did all of that mass that went Bang! come from?

> Honestly, I think someone needs to ridicule the ridiculous.

Imagine thinking that Galileo was pushing a remotely modern model of planetary motion when the Copernican model still had crystal spheres and perfect circles due to lack of several centuries of research into matters like gravity.

There where easily observable flaws on both sides of the argument.
