I think the most interesting part of this discussion, and others like it, is the need many posters feel to convince other people that they are correct.  

Illumination, or presenting a viewpoint is one thing.  But, why is it so important that others agree?

"What about the origin of life.  Was there a person present to take a
sample of the primordial soup of where 'science' says life began?  Can
we observe it and do repeated experimental tests on it?  The answer is
no.  I'm sure there are people who are trying to replicate it and
believe they know exactly what was in that soup (if there was a soup)."
