how much longer until the meme of abiogenesis gets exposed? why are scientists so afraid of emergence and teleology? is it because its sounds too much like muh sky daddy? Is teleological thinking inherently unscientific?

Personally I believe there is some degree of teleology in evolution. This doesn't necessarily imply a "sky daddy". However, teleology is only one factor. Randomness and free will are equally important. Determinism is a dangerous dogma.

but does the average scientists believe that?

Yea I agree this is what I’m screaming about all the time. The public has the implicit assumption about science that isn’t true.

I believe in god. But I also believe in deterministic characteristics in species. I’m not really a fan of evolution in the context on the theory of its origin. But I will concede that Darwin was spot on with a good amount of his work.


I also believe modern atheism derives from these scientific dogmas. It won’t hurt to say we don’t know some things. And that’s the beauty of discovery.

But they have.
>yet scientists dont have a clue and are no close to solving the origin of life problem than 100 years ago
That's also not true, but I fail to see what one has to do with the other.
>yet they cant construct life even with their own intentional actions
As said above, they have.

No they haven’t idiot keep dreaming
>>
>>16260102
If abiogenesis we would have new lines of evolutionary descent appearing spontaneously all the time especially when the conditions for life have just improved over geological time
>>
>>16260364
wrong

yes, we will keep dreaming, you keep ignorant
