HOW! You always fail to answer this question, your argument is good, but you lack the evidence of conviction.
Scientific evidence. The light from these planets alone takes millions of years to get here. A lot of them don't even exist anymore. Many of them came in to existence and died out long before our planet even formed. But i was talking about your claim of a "designer" in the face of the billions of planets that are incapable of sustaining life. To rationalise this in your own mind you invent from nowhere the idea that we somehow need these baron hostile planets because you are incapable of admitting that god, the designer, Would create billions of stars and planets that can't support life for no reason. It's what religious people do. They have to create bizarre rationalisations. The most common one is "god works in mysterious ways" as a way of explaining something that contradicts something they believe, Like the loving god condemning Africans to a short painful life of aids and malnutrition; "he is still loving, He just works in mysterious ways"
Let me ask you, how do theories began? How did Darwin come up with his theory? I believe it was a mere thought, he was not a scientist so, he ran no tests. He just had a thought. And other people caught on and said, ok it could work. My thought is based by evidence, that one cosmic element effects another. Is this not a textbook start to a theory?
Darwins evolution didn't start as a thought. it was an observation. Where as you are saying "what would need to be true to make my idea of a designed universe still stand up" and then you fabricated the idea that, if true, Would allow you to continue believing that the universe was designed. Please don't try to pass off what you are doing as scientific, it's completely dishonest. You are creating theories to facilitate and support a preconceived notion that god designed the universe.
I noted i was stating my oppinion, i even said i was guessing, whether my theory is true or not doesnt at al disprove that God created the world
You are so wrong there. God hasn't condemned anyone. He gave us free will to choose between good and evil for ourselves. Our decision to turn away from Him has caused those horrible things, not God. So now are you going to say you don't have free will and that it is God's fault those people in Africa are suffering? If you do say you don't have free will, how are you choosing to believe in evolution? Also, your whole argument about 99% of the planets not being able to sustain life completely contradicts everything else you have been saying. How do you know those planets cannot sustain life? Who says there isn't another race, also created in the image and likeness of God, residing on those planets wondering if there is life on Earth? You saying those 99% of planets cannot support life is believing without seeing, which is where most religions believing in a single creator get their faith from.
You are creating theories to facilitate and support a preconceived notion that god designed the universe.-sb1234 ok. Darwin was not a scientist All his theory's are from observation For example if you told someone, with no mechanical experience, no knowledge what so ever about cars, to tell you how a car works. What would you get? This person might end up telling you that the car's transmission is the engine, or that by letting the clutch engage will make your breaks disengage. I understand that science is a lot more complicated than a car but thats an example. You would trust the theory of life it's self to someone who is not even a scientist
The funny thing is, he was the son of a pastor. The idea of evolution is ridiculous. Where are the links?
In my mind, there is no question. Everything evolves, people, plants, consciousness (out way of thinking), energy, love, hate, ... everything! I do think that humans are linked to the apes, but somewhere long, long ago a group of apes got seperated, probably because of expansion, lol. Then another got seperated, then another and so on, until one group was evolving in a completly different way than the others.. OR Aliens seeded Earth, hey it's possible.. IMO
Did Darwin observe one species changing into other species which as per Darwin takes many generations?
Yeah, thats evolution for you. "if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."-Joseph Goebbels if you tell a lie long enough..... It's in schools, It's believed by many scientist, It's promoted by the media You can't put truth on a lie
I still just find it totally amazing people believe in religions that did some of the worst acts in history.
Everyone walks with God, whether they know it or not IMO. Accepting God and the energy of, is a different story..
I believe in evolution. All we can do is observe our surroundings to try to understand how things work, and Darwin's observations lead to the most likely conclusion that there is evolution. How else would you try to understand our universe? How did Newton come up with laws to explain bodies in motion? Observation. It's the same exact thing. That said, I'm not saying there isn't a God that created everything, but no one could have observed that so there is nothing to base that belief on, except faith. Arguing the point is useless, as the two beliefs are grounded in two irreconcilable bases: faith vs. observation.
yes i know it was your "opinion". But you are still creating bizarre rationalisations. You know, saying it's an "opinion" isn't a licence to get away with saying whatever you want and not have people pull you up on it. The only reason you claim that these barren lifeless planets may have an effect on earth is because if you didn't you would have to concede that a perfect designer does stupid pointless things. Evolution isn't the theory of life, How many times do you people need this simple concept explained to you? Evolution deals with the origin of the species, Not life. The observation was that animals change based on natural selection. the observation was later refined and evidence was found that not only do species change through natural selection but species are formed though natural selection. Since then we have found mountains of evidence that species of entirely different class and appearance do, In fact, Share a common ancestor.
For one thing no life on planets is not needed to believe that God created the world, He is God, he has his reasons And my opnion is based on scientific observations, its not at all bizarre.
I could see this coming.. "god works in mysterious ways", Right? it's like the universal get out of jail free card for you people. You said it was a guess. but I'll humor you, What "scientific observations" did you base this "guess" on?
Well it is what it is, just like billions of years are needed for your theory. Your billions of years is your God and your get out of jail free card, so dont go there. When you are guilty of the same type of responce Does life on earth require the moon? Ill answer that for you, it does. My observation, one cosmic element requires another to exist. Is that not plain enough for you?
There is no correlation between the two. what i say is based on evidence, testable models and science. what you say is based on a book written by primitive bronze age goat herders. is that it? is that really your argument? your argument that is because a celestial body 238855 miles from the earth has an effect on us, a celestial body on the other side of the universe must also have an effect great enough to make us dependent on it? I think your own argument just lost it for you.
