show me one misquote. I show you that large numbers of scientists state our universe looks finely tuned and that nobel prize winners state that there is no evidence life evolved from non life... and that other prize winners state that there was not enough time for it to happen here on earth. those are all accurate quotes explaining current scientific understanding. that you would call me out with your silly list... means my quotes are getting to you and perhaps you are wondering if you your stance against the existence of god is foolish pride. Besides that second speaker was correct he said why not believe it all happened by chance. That is a belief... it is not a scientific fact.
You are aware, I'm sure, that you're arguing with an obsessed fanatical zealot? The likes of of which is rarely seen, even here in P&R.
I've heard that there was once upon a time a symposium of affluent scholars which confirmed that the Earth was flat, and that the universe revolved around it.
