Re: How did life begin?

This is silly. People have a reason for believing in God (it offers insight into how the universe started, why we have consciousness, how life started, why the laws of physics are the way they are, and so on). The unicorn analogy, teapot analogy, spagehtti analogy or whatever is stupid. People who say MAN WHY DON'T U BELIEVE IN THE EASTER BUNNY...GET IT!?? THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME! I WROTE A BOOK ABOUT IT...GET IT?? ITS JUST LIKE THE BIBLE!! HA~! need to read up a little. God can be defined as many things and there are a lot of things that prove that he exists, although none of it is hard science. It can't be. If God were 100% proven, this life would be meaningless.

You make a whole bunch of assertions, and make no effort to back them up. An easy question: What method can I use to determine which unverifiable beliefs are legitimate (Christianity?) and which ones are absurd (unicorns?) and is this method universally applicable? Explain the criteria to me.
EDIT: I'm also curious as to what this insight is. Which of these great cosmic questions does a belief in the Christian God answer? Why we are here? Of course not, it merely pushes the question back a step.
