A Real-Life Indiana Jones Movie
Many of the ancient Greek philosophers were animists. The basic idea is that the rock is "alive". Or, to flip it around, when one is confronted with life, we really have a peculiar arrangement of dead matter. So, take the thrush songbird and its beautiful morning chorus. Clearly the thrush is quickened with life itself (whatever that might be), but the ancient Greek animist said, not really. It is just inanimate matter in a peculiar configuration.
This idea rules amongst the materialistic scientists (who control the Academy in our generation). To account for life out of dead, inanimate, and impersonal matter the Academy coined a fancy word--which the credulous found a compelling argument in and by itself. That word was "abiogenesis". The theory of the origins of life represented by that word was: a) that the earliest life forms on earth developed from non-living matter; and, b) living organisms arose spontaneously from inanimate matter, by spontaneous generation. Abiogenesis is now thoroughly debunked, except for the invincibly ignorant animists.
No matter how many verbal smoke screens are puffed out, stupid is as stupid does. And secularist science is pretty stupid at this point.
