Absolutely! It appears that you deny that life only comes from other life. If you think that denying abiogenesis is silly, I don't know what to say to you. It's never seen in nature. Sorry, but simple cells have never arisen from dirt, and never will.Obvious Leo wrote:Do you deny that life emerged from non-life?

As I see it you appear to be denying the existence of physical reality itself but if it gives you comfort I wish you joy of it.

As far as the second two questions, I don't see why you're bringing them up. No, I don't deny physical laws, nor do I deny cause and effect. It appears to be you who wishes to deny laws --- the law of life only coming from other life (a fundamental principle taught in high school science classes all across the country, but conveniently discarded by simple scientists who can't come up with a satisfactory explanation for the first cells on Earth), as well as the law that consciousness cannot be created solely by the interaction of mechanical forces.
But if you can give me any evidence of life arising from non-life or consciousness arising from random mechanical forces, by all means let me have it. Forgive me, but I'm unaware of any real world examples.
And BTW, a much better explanation for the first cells on Earth is to stick to the principle of 'life only comes from other life' and say that they must have migrated to the Earth from other life existing at another place. Not to pretend that the laws of nature were somehow different at a certain point of time around a billion or so years ago.
