        The historical record supports the existence of some of the towns
mentioned in the bible, but that should not be surprising. If we wrote a book
today which said that there was a country called the united states, and it had
50 states, and GW Bush was the president in the year 2003, and that he walked
on water and made dead people rise from their graves, well, some of that would
be true, and some of it would not be true. Would the fact that we were right
about the U.S. and Bush being president make the other claims true too?  No,
they wouldn't.  Just because the bible mentions towns and kings that were in
existence 2000 years ago, that does not make the whole book true. Towns and
kings were "current events" when the biblical texts were written. That proves
nothing.  As far as the new testament, no first century historian confirms the
existence of jesus. That's right.  None of the contemporary jewish or roman
historians, living during the time in which jesus said to have lived, wrote one
word about him.  Modern biblical scholars agree that the new testament
scriptures were written 35 to 90 years after the alleged events, regardless who
wrote them (Piso or not).  http://www.truthbeknown.com/christcon.htm

        The bible is slightly anti-roman because to be a good thought virus, it
HAS to be.  Jesus had to be the enemy of the romans, however instead of
teaching to kill and overthrow the romans, he taught the opposite, that you
should give unto caesar, be docile, submissive, subservient, and above all,
POOR!  If you own wealth, give it away.  Rich men will not get into heaven. 
You are supposed to serve your masters well, as taught in the bible, giving
luxury to your masters NOW, then you will get _your_ reward after death!  See
how that works?  You can ONLY get into heaven if you are poor and suffer here
on earth.  Now the truth is, you only get one life, this one, and the romans
created a way to trick the slaves OUT of theirs!  Christianity is a rather
simple thought virus (meme) by today's standards, the USA government uses much
more complex thought viruses today, so do large corporations for marketing
purposes (simply because on 75% of the people they WORK).

        There doesn't need to be any, regardless who wrote the bible, it is a
thought virus to make slaves more compliant, just as islam was created to make
soldiers more bold and willing to die for their masters!  Religion caused
otherwise healthy muslim men to fly planes into buildings on 9-11, which surely
killed them, in the name of allah, for the benefit of their leaders.  See how
that works?  See how POWERFUL the thought virus (meme) is?  These otherwise
healthy muslim men DIED thinking they were going to receive 72 virgins in
heaven for all eternity, the act of flying a plane into a building and dying is
a small price to pay for such a handsome reward.  Now the fact that the reward
is false is what makes the religion a meme (thought virus) and is the reason
why I work to DESTROY thought viruses like a doctor combats disease.

        I never saw the magazine, but here in the USA the government is going
to enact the "faith based initiative" whereby belief in jesus is compulsory, and
we will all be taxed even more to pay for this compulsory religion.  The masters
(the USA government) want compliant and passive slaves.  They believe (and are
probably correct) that forced christianity will cut down on crime and make
people more willing to give up their rights and freedoms, yielding more and
more power over to the power-hungry in office who crave such things.

Apostles,

In many of your statements, you mention that Jesus Christ was created from
previous religions such as the Sumerians and some other one that started with an
M, I think.  Anyway, I want some more information on that.  Can you give me any
book titles, article references, etc. that I can go look at for myself?  After all
anyone can claim anything as you have, but without any references to back it up
the statement is pretty much worthless.

        You really should simply read the website, just as you should also read
the bible.  If one actually _reads_ the bible, and thinks about what they just
read, the natural order is to be antichrist.  The bible is self-defeating.

        Now, to point you to the spots on my website where I've already
answered your questions above, I refer you to the following URLs.

http://www.antichrist.net/motherload2.html
Use your keyword search (built into your browser) to find "Mithraism".

http://www.antichrist.net/nietzsche.html
Use your keyword search (built into your browser) to find "Mithra".

Even Friedrich Nietzsche, back in 1895 saw the truth, and reported it. 
"Christianity is the formula for exceeding and summing up the subterranean
cults of all varieties, that of Osiris, that of the Great Mother, that of
Mithras, for instance: in his discernment of this fact the genius of Paul
showed itself. His instinct was here so sure that, with reckless violence to
the truth, he put the ideas which lent fascination to every sort of Chandala
religion into the mouth of the "Saviour" as his own inventions, and not only
into the mouth--he made out of him something that even a priest of Mithras
could understand. . . This was his revelation at Damascus: he grasped the fact
that he needed the belief in immortality in order to rob "the world" of its
value, that the concept of "hell" would master Rome--that the notion of a
"beyond" is the death of life."

        I have taken the Stanford-Binet, the Cattell, and various other tests,
all have placed me in the genius category.  The lowest score I have received
was with a test sold at a supermarket checkout impulse counter.  The test was
possibly flawed, and gave me an age adjusted score of 172.  I completed the
test 20 minutes ahead of the allotted time, and this factor was not taken into
account for the final score (thus my assumption of the flaw).  My official (and
recognized) Stanford-Binet score is 188, and my Cattell score is 232.  The
other Apostles have equally impressive IQ scores, talk to Frederick.

        For reference, the smartest man in the USA (Chris Langan) scored 195 on
the Stanford-Binet.  The greatest chess player that ever lived (Bobby Fischer)
scored 180 on the Stanford-Binet.  I'm in between those two men.

I wanted to tell you that you really have built up quite a case supporting the way
you believe.  I have read everything on your website, spare certain portions of
each of your Motherload sections (those things can take a very long time to
read).  I have also searched through many of the related links that you have
throughout your website.  I've read the konformist website, and the mithras one. 
I also read one by some Acharys (?) person, and the arguments against christianity
there.  I have also gone through some of those websites' links to other websites. 
In fact, I have two separate folders in my 'Favorites' section, one for
pro-Christian material and one for Anti-Christian material.  I have to say there
are many valid arguments out there.  All of my life, my pastors and my church and
Christian speakers that I have heard have encouraged me to challenge what I
believe and test it against what others have claimed.  I think it is essential for
people to know why they believe what they do.  I feel that many if not most
Christians do not know how to explain why they believe the way they do.  As a
result, many of them encounter a great deal of frustration.  One website that I
thought did not make a very strong case was one dealing with the memes or thought
viruses of Christianity.  I can see where the writer(s) could point to examples of
'Christian' misbehavior or other patterns of behavior enacted by 'Christians' that
would support their point.  However, on a broad scale, I did not agree with them. 
In fact, I wrote to them, just like I do you asking them questions to back up
their thought processes.  I have written to a couple of other authors, asking them
questions, but you are the only one that I have had respond to me thus far.  One
reason I refute the arguments made by the supporters of the 'thought virus'
articles is because in my own perso nal experience, I have rarely (if ever)
encountered someone that I felt matched their description.  However, with all of
the viewpoints and arguments out there, I can now see why the basic argument of
Christianity: Fact or Fiction has not yet been proven one way or the other to the
point where any particular individual could look at straight facts and have
undeniable evidence for either case.

several places on the website.  Here is where my IQ may be found.

        The fact that I had to give you this information rather than you
finding it on your own, suggests that you will not do very well on the test. 
The fact that you asked the question above, also suggests the same.

        An IQ test is a series of small puzzles, little paradoxes to solve, and
you must solve them quickly.  I'd suggest you forego taking an IQ test unless
it were trivial for you to find on your own where such tests are administered. 
There are several online IQ tests which you could have found on your own.

James, there is no reason to be rude.  For one, I never asked you what your IQ
score was.   You should not be so conceited as to think that I care.  Secondly, I
only asked you where I could take the test(s) out of pure laziness because I did

        Go to the middle east, hang out with a member of islam.  Or better yet,
find any ex-marine, the USA marine corps use intensive thought viruses to make
these healthy men with wives and children back home, risk their lives and even
die "for the corps".  Also research "indoctrination technique".

        I have proven christ to be a lie, were you not paying attention?  Just
the fact that today there are three major gods, yahweh (jew), jesus (christian)
and allah (muslim) is proof enough of the fraud.  How could an almighty god
allow false gods?  Also, think about suicide bombers, think about the otherwise
healthy men who flew planes (they were on) into buildings, to DIE FOR ALLAH!

        Are you going to sit there and tell me you don't recognize a
malevolent thought virus when it is as clear as the nose on your face?  The
truth is Jonathan, you are a member of the 75% of all persons who have a need
to believe [anything] be it jesus, allah, or even thor!  You abandon logic and
reason, and wallow in self-deceit.  For the life of me, I can't figure out why!

        You can't be an effective Scientist and be lazy.  Ergo, you should
wallow in self-deceit, pick a god and pray at it.  :o)  Am I being an ass?  You

Why?  Because of theists who try to use logic to prove gods exist.  When I

        You are correct, my mistake.  However, the tests are also listed along
with the score, as it is required to state the test you took for each score
represented, since each test scores differently.  My apologies for the mistake.

I will take you up on that and research indoctrination technique.  However, when
you mention that the Marine Corp. is subjected to a thought virus, then that means
just about every violent T.V. show or movie that we watch is injecting us with
thought viruses.  In fact, I did a research paper on media violence and read an
article that compared it to Marine training last year during my Freshman year of
college.  When you say that Marines die "for the corps", does that mean they are
giving the ultimate sacrifice for the advancement of a military function?  I think
they are willing to die for the same freedom that allows you and I to have this
discussion, not because some military unit will benefit from their sacrifice.

James, you have not PROVEN this at all, for if you had I would surely declare
myself an atheist.  In your arguments you make claims and back that up with
references to websites among other things.  Therefore, in order to understand the
reasoning behind many of your claims, I must do research into the sources you have
listed.  In many of your articles, you state your conclusions, but not the
reasoning that led to them.  For example, state that Jesus was a creation based on
the Sumerian relgion and Mithraism among others, but you are borrowing other
people's conclusions.  I am not saying that you have not read their arguments and
agreed with them, only that you have not presented the argument to me, only the
conclusion.  Therefore, when I have gone and read their articles, I have found
that their arguments are not flawless.  They have holes.  Just like you say
Christian and monotheistic arguments have holes, which I agree that many of them
do.  All I'm saying is that you have told me the what, but not the why or how,
therefore you cannot say that you have "proven Christ to be a lie."  You have not
and most likely will not ever prove beyond reason your viewpoints, nor will I be
able to.  If you think about it, none of these arguments are new.  The only thing
we can do is prove that our arguments are reasonable, but not proven.

antichrist,

First of all, I am interested in continuing the Piso theory discussion with you,
but I was wondering if you could send me the links to the site or sites you
mentioned that Jewish historical records validate the Piso theory.  This way I can
read the information for myself.  The purpose for this e-mail however, is to
discuss science.  Although I do not claim to be a scientist myself, at least in
the physical sciences, I still have an interest in the field.  (I am involved in
the Social Sciences, mainly economics, which I am currently studying in college.) 
Anyhow, I have recently spent an all-nighter reading information on a site that
was indirectly linked to yours, through infidel.com(?).  It was the site you had
listed when discussing Albert Einstein's disbelief in God.  Einstein did by the
way believe in a god that created everything we know, he just did not believe in a
personal god that would interfere or even care about the matters that we have. 
How I interpreted Einstein's quote, was that he believed in some sort of creator
because of the vast complexity of all that is around us.  In otherwords, he
believed in a "watchmaker god".  Anyway, just below this quote, was a link to what
seemed to be a pro-evolution website called Talk.origins.com.  

One particular area of interest to me on this site, was an article by Douglas
Theobald, called "29+ Evidences for Macroevolution."  Although I did read the
entire article, there was one sentence that really stuck out to me.  In the first
sentence of the second paragraph, the writer said something like, macroevolution
can help explain the origins of life, (but not the ultimate origin of life).  In
fact all throughout the site, I found argument after argument in favor of
evolution, but from what I had seen, I could only find a couple in support of
abiogenesis.  As I read those particular articles, I was not very much impressed
or convinced by what the authors had to offer in support of abiogenesis.  This
brings me to the question I have for you, being the scientist in this discussion. 
How can life have first emerged randomly, considering the complexities of the
making of just one cell.  Now, just in case you decide to put this on your webs
ite, I am going to explain what I know of the formation of a cell, just for those
who do not know.  I am taking a guess that your reponse will have something to do
with the experiment performed by Stanley Miller, in which he shot a bolt of
electricity into a pool of ammonia, methane and hydrogen.  In doing so, Miller
found that amino acids were created.  However, Miller's experiment was, obviously,
very controlled.  In the experiment, Miller and Oparin, his co-experimenter,
deliberately left inert gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide out of the
experiment.  Now, being a scientist, you would know that these chemicals prevent
the three experimented chemicals from reacting.  In fact, many NASA scientists
claim that there was probably very little ammonia, methane and hydrogen on the
primitive Earth.  Instead, they claim that a primitive Earth would be composed of
mainly water, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, which are prob ably still close to the
three largest (in quantity) elements on the Earth still today.  So, aside from
this, let's see how a cell is assembled.  (The following is adapted from an
interview performed by Lee Strobel on Walter L. Bradley Ph.D. at Texas A&M
University.)

"To begin with, we define the difference between a living and non-living
organism.  A living organism must do three things: process energy, store
information and replicate.  Even if we assume that cells have evolved over time,
and were to develop a cell that only did the minimal functions to maintain life,
it would still be a complex creation.  So, we begin with amino acids (the stuff
Miller created in his experiment).  Amino acids come in 80 different types, but
only 20 of them are found in living organisms.  Therefore, the correct ones must
be isolated and linked together in the correct sequence in order to produce
protein molecules (still not living matter).  This does not seem like that big of
a deal, if you were putting the pieces together like a puzzle.  However, we are
basing things on random chance.  One problem: other molecules tend to react more
readily with amino acids than amino acids react with each other.  So now you have
a problem of extraneous molecules.  Even in the Miller experiment, only two
percent of the material produced was composed of amino acids.  Another
complication:  There are an equal number of amino acids that are right and left
handed, and only left-handed ones work in living matter.  Now you have to get nly
these select ones to link together in the right sequence.  You also need the
correct kind of chemnical bonds, namely, peptide bonds, in the right places in
order for the protein to be able to fold in a specific three-dimensional way. 
Otherwise, as you know, it will not function.  So, let's say that one amino acid
did eventually form on its own, now you only need another 100+ more to form 1
protein.  If you get that far, it does not mean you have created life.  Now you
need 200 or more proteins with just the right functions to get a typical living
cell.  In living systems, the guidance that is needed to assemb le everything
comes from DNA.  Every cell of every plant and animal has to have a DNA molecule. 
DNA works hand-in-glove with RNA to direct the correct sequencing of amino acids. 
So where does DNA come from?  Well, the making of DNA and RNA would be an even
greater problem than creating a protein.  They are much more complex, and there
are a host of practical problems.  For example, the synthesis of key building
blocks for DNA and RNA has never been successfully done except under highly
implausible conditions without any resemblance to those of the early Earth.  Even
if you accept the Big Bang theory, and account from the time that the Earth would
have formed, to the time that life appeared, there would have been 400 million
years, where the temperature would have been stable enough for life to develop. 
The other 4.6 billion years that big bang theorists claim to correlate with the
Earth's existence, would have been a time when the Earth was uninhabitable by
living organisms.  Even under the absolute perfect conditions, and given 1 billion
years of time to develop, statisticians say that there would only be a 1 in 10 to
the 60th power chance of life developing.  To put this in perspective,
mathematicians have a rule of thumb that anything with an odds lesser than 1 in 10
to the 50th power is considered to be mathematically impossible."

Now, I know that some scientists theorize that there were organisms more primitive
than the cell, that eventually evolved into a cell, such as a prokaryote or
eukaryote, but they simply do not have the evidence for it.  The fact of the
matter, is that like mentioned above a living organism has to be able to perform
three certain functions.  The danger of going to something much more primitive
than a cell is that whatever the more primitive being is, it must still perform
those functions.

So, casting all religion aside, I want to know how you would view this information
and how you would respond to it concerning the creation of life as we know it.  Do
you think that it is even minutely possible that something or someone could have
created this all?  I don't want you to consider any religion in this answer at
all.  Religion is irrelevant.  Do you think that the reason people flock to places
to have their 'spiritual needs' met is because there really is a spiritual side to
us all?  When I think about all this information, one thing that comes to mind is
Pascal's Wager, of which I'm sure you have heard.  Like you Apostles, I too am
searching for truth.  However, science cannot tell us the 'why' to our questions. 
You say that religion is a crutch, but what is religion really?  I view religion
as simply human beings trying to somehow satisfy an innate desire for spiritual
satisfaction.  Where does this spiritual desire come from?  Do you deny that it
exists?  I have heard it said that over 93% of the world's population believes in
some sort deity.  Quite a curious phenomenon, don't you think?

        Before you write, be sure that you know what it is you're talking
about.  Go study "indoctrination technique", then, and only then, will you
understand.  Anyone who is familiar with Marine Corps indoctrination methods
(meme insertion, and behavior modification) such as our own Fourth Apostle
Frederick for example, can tell you I am correct in what I say.  Marines don't
die to protect your freedom, YOU ARE SH*T!  Anyone who is NOT a Marine IS SH*T!
Marines could give a DAMN about you, or about "little miss suzie rotten
crotch" back home.  They don't fight for freedom, they fight because they are
ASKED to fight by their commanding officers!  What they care about is their
brother Marines, AND THEIR BELOVED CORPS!  Oh, and to KILL KILL KILL!

        Indoctrination technique is the NUMBER ONE REASON why when a GI gets
home from the service, he can't stand his wife, he wants to always be with his
fellow GI's, and why women are worthless life support systems for their
pussies.  I am sure there are a number of women who understand what I just
said, all too well.  Men change after being through "indoctrination".

        Get to it then, and if you are a member of the 25% skeptical and
logical minority, come back and declare yourself so, and I'll make a place for
you along with Gabriel, and the other reformed former christians.  :o)

        I studied mithraism, and came to my OWN conclusions.  I only give web
references to back up my conclusions (showing others agree with me).  From the
historical studies I've made, it appears that jesus never did exist in the
flesh, he was a mythical character, modeled after mithra, the persian light god.

        9-11 proved allah is the true god, then our attack upon the taliban
thereafter proved the USA government is the true god, or the most RATIONAL
argument is that there is NO god, and be done with it.  Even without research,
you must agree there are far more proofs against god (babies born deformed, and
so on) than there are _for_ god.  If god did exist, and he was as he appears to
be, a sadistic bastard who causes an occasional child to be born malformed
because it gives him sadistic pleasures, I'd hunt him down and kill him myself!
Luckily, Science (not religion) explains why natural mutations sometimes occur.

        It has always been trivial to disprove god(s).  I don't know why people
make it so difficult.  Ok, do your research and report back to me.

        You are probably aware that any study that has the word Science in it's
name is not really a true Science.  Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Mathematics,
are all Sciences.  Social Sciences are not true Scientific studies because they
tend to deal with interpretations, and feelings, where there are NO wrong
answers, whereas true Science is exacting, precise, and highly ACCURATE.

        Or perhaps he was atheist and didn't want to make waves.  Perhaps he
couldn't comprehend the universe, too bad for him, because I'm quite happy to
accept it was not called into being by some big dude with a white beard.  The
greatest argument against creationism is WHO CREATED THE CREATOR?

        With one question, "Who created the creator?" I have disproved gods,
acceptable to anyone reading these words who is capable of logical thought. 
Logic suggests the ONLY possible answer is we were NOT created, we just ARE!

        Here's why it doesn't make sense to you.  You don't know chemistry,
ergo, you don't know what ammonia is.  We didn't have nitrogen in our
atmosphere, we had ammonia (NH3).  Some unknown ocean living lifeform ATE that
ammonia and combined the H with C and released free N.  The HC (hydrocarbon)
molecules in these plants or animals (nobody knows for sure) sank with their
dead bodies to the ocean floor, where they were sedimented over, pushed up to
become land mass, and today we suck them out of the layers and call it oil.

        Why don't they exist anymore?  They ran out of ammonia to eat!  When
did they live?  Millions of years before dinosaurs, that's for sure.  Were they
alive?  Perhaps not, perhaps they were just pseudo-living chemolifeforms.

        As I stated, when these chemolifeforms (whatever they were) formed,
there was NO NITROGEN OR CARBON DIOXIDE in the atmosphere.  Our atmosphere
mirrored the OTHER planets, containing methane and ammonia.  That should not
surprise you, because we are the ONLY blue planet, processes happened here to
break down and recombine the ammonia gas, freeing the nitrogen.  Now, we
evolved to live in this gas, don't think it's a miracle or anything that we can
live breathing this gas.  As the gases change, WE TOO will change to adapt.

> In fact, many NASA scientists claim that there was probably very
> little ammonia, methane and hydrogen on the primitive Earth.

        I'm a former NASA Scientist, and I assure you no such bunk is taught. 
Look at all the other planets, we were just like them, the closer planets had
bio/chemo/thermal processes to make them different, but in the beginning, we
were all the same, rocks with methane, ammonia envelopes.  When you go to an
apple tree, you pick... apples.  You don't pick 6 apples and one orange!

        Winning the lottery is mathematically impossible, yet people do it all
the time.  Oh sure, it's rare, even MORE rare than amino acids self-assembling
into a lifeform, yet it does happen, and so did life!  Ask those same
mathematicians what the odds are of winning the lottery.  :o)

        And who created the creator?  That question just blew you out of the

        You said creator (see above) and that is unscientific, and illogical,

        We only have a Scientific side, it's just that some people can't handle
REAL science, their minds are too weak, so they use a pseudo-science, which can
be religion, or spritualism, or even paranormal studies.  We are NOT all
created equal, some of us are smart, and others are quite stupid.  If there's
one thing this website has shown, stupid people gravitate towards the belief in
gods, while intelligent people gravitate towards atheism and Science.

        I've mentioned it, explained it, and shown the fallacy of it many times

as noted by my peers, a brilliant man.  I do not trick easily into a wager.  :o)

        There is no "why" we just ARE!  You are asking "Why is a potato"?  It's

let's just make the best of it, ok?  :o)  Simple answer, not a complicated one.

        A disease, a mind disease, a festering malignancy upon mankind.

        Science does a better job.  Go on, give it a try!  If you fail, you can

        Parenting.  It's a rom function of our brains (ROM = read only memory).
Where does kissing come from?  It's a throw back of the instinct to suck tit as
a baby.  Where does religion come from?  It's a throw back like kissing, to our
need to be nurtured.  If we were like the deer, born and able to run in mere
minutes, we wouldn't be religious people.  Religion is a curse, but it is also
a blessing, because in some of us, that need turns to Science and study!

        The computer you are reading this on right now is a product of Science,
not a product of god(s).  We invented this computer because we are RELIGIOUS
people.  Deer did not invent computers, they are not religious.  Get it?

> Do you deny that it exists?

        Yes, it just depends how you channel it.  I myself am a VERY religious
person, but due to my intelligence, my religion is Science!

> I have heard it said that over 93% of

        50% of the people believe somewhat, 25% believe devoutly, and 25% do
not believe.  That's the same ratio of people who are subject to memetics (as
listed in the governments own indoctrination manuals).

> Quite a curious

        Not really, now you understand it too.  :o)  As for me, I always have.

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!  You're going to get me in trouble with my 
girlfriend!  Actually, James, I went into the Marines for just such lofty 
ideals as this man describes.  You are right about having much trouble 
relating to others who have not be indoctrinated afterwards, and the point 
is to create that 'part of a special club' mentality.  In combat, if you do 
not regard the survival of yourself and fellow marines as most important, 
you are likely to fail and lose battles, and you have to put aside your 
reasons for doing what you are doing at the moment in order to succeed at 
it.  Although I am not a seasoned combat veteren, I am told the training I 
underwent does well to simulate the mental environment of combat.  Winning 
successive battles is strategically what wins the wars, so we couldn't have 
effective fighting units if they were always worrying about matters back 
home.  You have to focus.  I loved the Marines.

Greetings James

I read the last few messages on the mailing list and found it amusing to say the 
least.That John [removed]
is almost as bad as the infamous Jeff, but some people just can't be reasoned 
with to make the right choice concerning their lives. For instance I almost made 
the right one to late, but at least I am still young enougth
to change my entire life and start over. This guy also seems to get very vivid 
psychotic episodes that seem
real to him. He also never even bothered to read past the first page or he has 
already made up his mind before reading some of the material that we are a bunch 
of satanists.

    Quoting from an 2000 year old tabloid in typical christian form, does he

   Is this guy for real? Even before I mailed you for the first time I 
completely read through your website to
   avoid asking silly questions where there is an answer  provided in the

also read at 1500 words a

something in a large .TXT or

     Yes, tell the lazy bum to do his own research as it is the only way you 
will truly learn something 
     and perhaps even discover some just as important data bits in the proccess 
even though it may 
     take some time to find what you are looking for.

    I would't have thought of an more appropriate question to pose to all those

    how they will answer this question if it was posed to them.

Where did they come up with this? I personally give life a higher chance than 
that to develop, just look at us
we are alive aren't we? This guy should give life better odds to develop. If a 
planet has the same type of sun 
and is the same distance from it's sun as earth, with enougth of the correct 
chemicals then life_will_ develop
in time. Life can take many forms and who is to say that we even have most of 
the puzzle pieces and know how  they fit together? There is still a long road 
with lot's of discoveries ahead of us before we can say for certian how life 
works in detail, only then can we speculate and take learned guesses on how life 
would have
begun and the chances of it occuring elsewhere

        You're disappointed because you are intelligent enough to realize that I
am correct, that the overwhelming evidence suggests that I am correct, and you
are about to lose your tenacious grasp upon your much needed belief system. 
And as for the exact mechanism of formation, all I can say is "we don't yet
know for sure".  100 years ago, doctors didn't wash their hands between
patients, because they would only get dirty again.  We ARE growing in our body
of knowledge, but just remember, we are not _yet_ gods, but merely aspiring to
be, one day, and VERY SOON!  :o)  Disease was caused by demons 200 years ago,
and by tiny microorganisms today.  See how Science is superior to myth?
