I believe the universe and earth were created along with the stars and the rest of a universe. With this creation story everything is put in place to do what needs done. So all life was fully formed when they were created along with man, this puts man along with all other life.
With respect to the scientists we have a different starting points, and our foundations are dif ...[text shortened]... natural blind unguided processes, the other has everything is done with intent to accomplish a goal.
Here we go again. You keep thinking if life formed without a GODIDIT deal, it HAD to be from random chance BS. It is NOT random and never was. The way the universe was built is what makes life NOT random. The universe as it is right now is compatible with life and that is here in the solar system and a billion light years away into the universe also and a billion years ago and a billion years from now, new life will pop up anywhere there is liquid water, minerals and some form of energy, IR, lightning, geologic heat, whatever, life will find a way and doesn't need a GODDIDIT like the religious set wants to foist onto the world.
And of course have a ball dissing that concept for the next hundred or two hundred years but I think the real story will be figured out by then and after that the religious set will just move the goalpost, going something like, well THAT life can maybe come that way, but HUMANS? FORGET IT. GOD MADE US and in 6 frapping days and that is THAT and we don't give a HOOT what science has proven, we mean what they THINK they have proven.
And all that in spite of what life we find under an ocean on Encaladous ( a small moon) (projecting a couple hundred years into the future, assuming we HAVE a future that can develop spacecraft of the power needed and the technology to drill through 40 miles of ice on a moon of Jupiter or whatever.
If we don't get gagged by climate change or some devastating war we should get that kind of tech in the next 200 years or so.
THAT'S when the goalpost WILL be moved because no matter how much science has advanced, the religious set will dig even further into its ancient religion.
I can imagine a future in which we have 100% proven life comes from a muddy rock hit by lightning or some such but the religious set STILL clinging to its old ways no matter WHAT science uncovers.
