Jesus bringing back life to the dead

Do you think it's rational that life emerged from the non living matter or from the dead earth before life existed.

Sorry, that's not even a good try. Life arose through chemical processes. Jesus allegedly raised Lazarus through a miracle. Life is still originating today from inanimate matter. Every time a cell divides the process is occurring. So what is life?

And can we plan and design for creating it in the lab.

Yes, I do. Although I will admit that it is very much proper to disagree.

The origin of life is indeed more than a little disturbing and mysterious. It may or may not be supernatural in nature. I don't think we have much of a reason to expect it to be, but sure, there is no good reason why anyone else would feel compelled to agree with me on that matter.

However, if we accept or imagine that life arose out of some supernatural action or will, that is not in itself particularly rational either. Legitimate until and unless a better explanation is found, certainly. But not very much rational. It is just a specific form of appeal to miracle.

Yes, done all the time.

No we didn't create life and that means the stupid inanimate nature did better than the smart man and that is nonsensical.

The stories of Jesus bringing back the dead is only anther metaphor, it means that sometimes we must lie to be reborn, simple as that, well at least to me.

Raising someone from the "dead" can be seen in spiritual terms...

"Jesus Christ ...declares that man must be born of its quickening and baptized with its living fire. Souls deprived of that spirit are accounted as dead, though they are possessed of the human spirit. His Holiness Jesus Christ has pronounced them dead inasmuch as they have no portion of the divine spirit. He says: "Let the dead bury their dead." In another instance He declares: "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the spirit is spirit." By this He means that souls though alive in the human kingdom are nevertheless dead if devoid of this particular spirit of divine quickening. They have not partaken of the divine life of the higher kingdom; for the soul which partakes of the power of the divine spirit is verily living."

I doubt we'll ever know for sure how life started. Currently evolution is the one that make most rational sense. Creation keeps creating more irrational problems.
