Not by me.
I just gave the example of abiogenesis where scientists believe something on blind faith not to disprove evolution but to make the point they are hypocrites if they ridicule other people who also believe something on blind faith.

do you see this happening a lot? Are there gangs or science-bullies harassing the good believers of your town?

It's not blind faith when someone can see life on earth. If you have no belief in a creator, abiogenesis obviously happened.

Abiogenesis has a demonstrable mechanism and is congruent with what we observe. The same cannot be said for organized religion.

OP linked a video that was produced by a religious man for the sole purpose of attempting to ridicule scientists.
But let me ask you: who is more deserving of ridicule?
Someone who bases their "beliefs" in an idea that is backed by mountains of evidence (evolution), and who admits where answers are lacking (abiogenesis).
OR
Someone who bases their beliefs on absolutely nothing of substance?

You most certainly did. Your first post in this thread:
quote:quote:
There is observable evidence in fossil records and genetic testing that proves evolution.
Provide the scientific evidence that life evolved from non-life.
Until you do, the blind faith of people who believe it did is based on the same amount of scientific evidence as the blind faith of people who believe God created life.
Zero.
Seems to be a pretty clear-cut example of claiming there is zero evidence for evolution because we can't explain how life came from non-life.
