Some scientists have concluded that life could not
have arisen spontaneously on earth. Instead, they
speculate that it must have originated in outer space
and then floated down to the earth. But that just
pushes the problem of the origin of life further back
and into a more forbidding setting. The perils
confronting life in the hostile environment of outer
space are well known. Is it likely, then, that life
began spontaneously elsewhere in the universe and
survived under such harsh conditions to reach the
earth, and later to develop into life as we know it?
Since the fossil record does not show a gradual
development of life from one type into another, some
evolutionists theorize that the process must have
happened by jerks and starts, not at a steady pace. As
The World Book Encyclopedia explains: "Many biologists
think new species may be produced by sudden, drastic
changes in genes."
Some adherents to this theory have called the process
"punctuated equilibrium." That is, species maintain
their "equilibrium" (they stay much the same), but
every once in a while there is a "punctuation" (a big
jump to evolve into something else). This is just the
opposite of the theory that has been accepted by
nearly all evolutionists for many decades. The gulf
between the two theories was illustrated by a headline
in The New York Times: "Theory of Rapid Evolution
Attacked." The article noted that the newer
"punctuated equilibrium" idea had "aroused new
opposition" among those who hold to the traditional
view.

I have heard of "Scientists" who theorized that the Earth
could have been "Seeded" life from elsewhere, but such
theories do not require that life originate in outer space,
or that life could never have formed here on Earth. |

I submit that we are both atheist, I simply believe in one fewer
god than you. When you can understand why you dismiss all other gods,
then you will understand why I dismiss yours.
