Well, I am certainly no science denialist: I implicitly trust that the physical universe functions independently and is not reducible to any God. However, I also implicitly trust that chemistry is not the source of life; despite the evidence which indicates that it IS... What that means is that despite my rejection of God being the source of the physical I am nevertheless absolutely certain that life is His property.
