- So, then your point is that abiogenesis is "well established" like the
- existence of gravity? Very well, then, SHOW US ABIOGENESIS. Show us
- living organisms being formed from nonliving matter. Then we will accept
- that the phenomenon is well-established like gravity. After all, I can
- show you gravity in action. Can you show me abiogenesis in action?

- I do not know what you mean by this remark. If it has some significance,
- then perhaps you would explain it. If it has no significance, then
- perhaps that is part of the problem with your so-called "science."
