You jest, but sometimes I wonder which is more likely.

Just reversed the downvote that was on yr comment because I interpreted it as not so much as saying the Bible story is what literally happened but that biogenesis feels very unlikely (even over billions of years). I feel similarly and my personal belief is that life has always existed and that it's fundamental to the universe.

For a given value of "week" ;)
