I considered myself a freethinker, not that I don’t believe in God, but maybe in a different sense.

Until there is evidence describing otherwise, I don’t think life arise out of nothing, out of randomness. As far as I know about biology, scientists do not know how to start life in the labs. It always require the cell, the bare minimum for life to exist. Where does the cell comes from? Biochemical reactions in the cells are catalysed by enzymes. What could have cause simple organic chemicals to form into complex chemicals? Something must have provided the push which upsets the existing balance, leading to the formation of life, a propagating series of biochemical reactions that go on and on.

One can call this entity the Life Force, or God, or whatever, but I think that the origin of life originates from an initial spark from some entity which may or may not be part of this universe. I am talking about life in general. I don’t think humans are unique in this sense. We, including all life, received this initial spark from some entity and we have been propagating it all our lives, generations.
