I'm not claiming proof. I'm citing evidence. Fact: the basic chemical components of life on earth all shere the same basic chemical building blocks. This must be true if there was only one origin, but does not need to be true for multiple. Therefore the current evidence favors singular. What is your evidence in favor of multiple? How is my argument irrational?
All that would mean is that if you get the chemical reactions known as 'life', it would form from the most common elements that have the best , as well as the ones with the best chemical properties.
Do you mean the best possible or the best available?

This doesn't explain the miracle of humanity.
That , of course, is not what was being asked about. It was specifically asking about 'does all life have a common origin or not'. Someone, if they wanted, could point out calling humanity a 'miracle' is nothing but the texas sharpshooters fallacy. However, that won't stop people from needing to feel special.
the same reason global warming isnt taken seriously, no evidence that doesn't source from the fraudsters themselves.
an interesting individual...very intelligent obviouslyThis particular cult doesn't take money although you're encouraged to donate. She's the "leader" even though she thinks her own cult is problematic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Hai
I want to mention that the Urantia Book actually refers to God as the First Source and Center. God is like the first action that determined every other action.
Why is that? We need answers not more questions, and I think these "spiritual" groups have a lot to contribute to science if we were only more open minded about this.
Of course, we should not blindly follow whatever comes out but it's worth considering.
The two typically don't ride in the same car very well.

She has been criticised for making allegedly ostentatious displays of generosity as well as self-promotion.
There you go - in your own link to boot.
Science is science, religion is religion.
Science is (mostly) about what you can prove.
Religion is about faith, which is believing things that cannot be scientifically proven.

It might depend on the particular car and driver, Goshin.
If one approaches science in terms of coming to a better understanding of the incredible complexity of God's workings, then the car just hums along. It is only when we predetermine that we are supposed to know no more about such miracles than people living 2-3 thousand years ago that it becomes a bumpy ride.

Why? if you are interested in them then help yourself.

A better question is that in the 21st century, with all we know about the world and universe, why are deistic religions taken seriously?
Personal assurance - you want to know that the universe you live in is a friendly place.

All religions are cults. The difference between a cult and a religion is actually the size. When the group is too small we tend to call it a cult and generally this word has a negative connotation. Religion however does not have a negative connotation in every case.
