??? What else is there besides God-designed biogenesis and purely spontaneous biogenesis? Something along the lines of Hoyle's panspermia? I'm rather intrigued by the above, please elaborate. (and note I am not going to start a battle over whatever you say...I am genuinely interested) And to the list in general: Aside from that, as far as Pascal's wager goes, I can only offer this: in the end, we will know. Unfortunately, getting to the point to absolutely know the answer is sort of a one way thing. As to logical fallacies....I do not like them. But worse, I even more dislike the fact that whenever there is a debate over something, people spend more time pointing out each other's use of logical fallacies and/or grammatical problems, then actually discussing the topic at hand. Case in point: Usenet. Which circle of hell do the alt.* newsgroups lie within? :) --Kyle
