How do Atheists who preach evolution, explain the beginning of LIFE,
was it an accident in a mud puddle?
If so then why hasn’t that same accident happened over and
over creating new DNA life forms with strange alternative DNA? The shear
numbers of random life being accidentally created must mean that
billions of life forms were created before one was created that could
reproduce(you don’t *create complex reproducing DNA the first time*
out), so NEW DNA different from life forms that already exist and can
reproduce must be created on a daily basis somewhere on the planet. No
one has ever dug up a single one of those Billions and billions of life
forms that can’t reproduce? Why is that?

crazy attempts to belittle faith and belief have been attempted before.
They’re funny too.

You have faith Santa isn’t, just as you once had that he was. That is
true because you have no tangible evidence one way or the other.

It’s like *love* you have no tangible proof of it….. but I dare you
to tell your wife that it doesn’t exist and it requires no *faith*
