No scientist that I know thinks that either.
What else are you wrong about?

Apparently you aren't aware that there are various forms of matter and
energy - crystals and fire, for example - that display *some* of the
characteristics of what we call "life," meaning that there are
intermediate stages between life and non-life, and no hard-and-fast
line between "living" and "non-living."
But then again, you're scientifically illiterate, so I shouldn't be
surprised that you don't know that.

Too bad for you that abiogenesis is *not* the same thing as
"spontaneous generation." And spontaneous generation was disproven in
the 19th century, btw.

Er, the so-called "Big Bang" was *not* an explosion, it was an
*expansion*. Please crack a science book once in a while, willya?

But we didn't get those traits from the Big Bang - we got them from
our primate ancestors. Modern primates exhibit all these traits, or
haven't you been following what's going on in primate studies lo,
these past 40 years?
Oh, silly me, of *course* you haven't. My bad/

It does not logically follow that because dirt or rocks cannot feel
emotions, that complex life forms that evolved naturally cannot feel
them as well.

It's not a matter of not wanting a creator to exist, it's a matter of
there BEING ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT THERE *IS* A CREATOR.
Please do try to keep up, won't you?

Because judging by the evidence, or more accurately, the lack thereof,
such a being does not exist.

First you need to provide hard data that a creator ACTUALLY EXISTS.
After you do that, we'll proceed to the question of what it does/
doesn't love.

If I said anything else, I'd be lying, and we all know that lying is
wrong - although many species of primates do it.
Nope, unless and until someone can come up with some *actual evidence*
of there being a "creator," I'll continue to lack belief in one, thank
you.

I "know" no such thing, nor do other alt.atheism regulars, as you have
been told repeatedly. Why do you continue to lie? Don't you know
that your religion says lying is a sin? Don't you know that the bible
tells you not to be a stumbling block, and that's *exactly* what you
are being when you post this inane, insulting crap and then run away
without engaging in meaningful dialog?
You're as bad as the damn muslims. Not a nickel's worth of difference
between you.
