We can only replicate animate objects that were already here.
But saying "God did it" only defers the question and creates a bigger dilema. If we can't create something from nothing, then how do you explain God? When my son was four he woke me up in the middle of the night to ask: If God created Man, then who created God? Good question! I said. Now go back to bed!

No. By saying "God did it" you give the accureate, scientific and logical explanation of how and why it happened. Using your atheist logic you come up with "doodoo did it." I prefer God.

You should have told your son that God always has been and always will be. He would have understood that and it was the truth.

E-man you well? (That's a little Christmas pun just for you).

Telling my son your answer would have been easier, but it is a cop-out. It explains nothing.

It tells him the truth. It is THEY only logical and scientific answer. And you have no better answer for him.

In you opinion. I do not have to resort to supernatural explanations for natural events. Parsimony rules.

BTW, how was your Christmas?

Show the science please. We've been waiting for it as I have sked for it before. All you do is say God did it. Tell us how this God did it.
