WHY WE BELIEVE IN GOD

• Until the late 1850's, the Origin of Life was
  thought to be the result of "Spontaneous
  Generation". The doctrine of Spontaneous
  Gener-ation holds that organic life could and
  does arise from inorganic matter. It wasn't until
  Frenchman Louis Pasteur that this fallacy was
  finally disproved in 1859.

• Before the 1950's, evolutionists had been faced
  with the problem that the only known source for
  amino acids (i.e. building blocks for life) was
  other living things. Although evolutionists
  believed that life had begun by purely
  naturalistic causes, they did not have a viable
  naturalistic explanation for how that life could
  have begun. Then in the 1950's Stanley Miller did
  an experiment in which he passed an energy source
  through some gases and created a few different
  types of simple amino acids.

• "Today we know that the gases Miller placed in
  the flask do not match the atmosphere of early
  Earth (i.e. had oxygen M.O.). So we cannot say
  that life began in a manner similar to Miller's
  experiment.... The exact process that would have
  made this possible is another question scientists
  have not yet answered. ... One theory begins with
  the notion that the early oceans began somehow to
  fill with the chemicals that make up living
  things.

• "We can think of these oceans as a kind of
  "soup" containing the substances needed for life.
  ... How did that process of life occur? Again,
  there are no clear answers - only theories ....
  At this time, however, no one can say whether any
  one theory is right or wrong. What can be said is
  that somehow, through some process, the chemicals
  that make up living things did group together and
  form the first cells." Cells Building Blocks of
  Life 3rd ed. (Prentice-Hall 1997, pp. 14, 15).
