"religious people" are not a homogeneous group. Beliefs vary in both content and degree. Among Protestants alone, their beliefs can vary from "creationists" to a belief that God created the Big Bang and let it go at that.Religionists? Who are those? Why did you ignore my reply?I see the Religionists ignored my questions.
Happens every time
It dawned on me this morning coming into work. Ok, so basically religious people think that life happening on earth was "a miracle". And it sure does seem like one doesn't it? I mean, for the earth to be in the right place/distance from the sun and how the moon helps life happen and then if the meteor didn't hit dinosaurs would still rule. So I see why religous people think we are alone and that it's highly unlikely that all these things happened by chance, or without some divine help. But take into account that for billions of years earth was not friendly to life. It took a long time for conditions to be right. And someday life will stop existing on this planet. So it makes sense that eventually, around every star, life will eventually happen.
And it may be happening more than just here on earth. Europa may have life in it.
I think this is why religous people don't want to find life anywhere else. They want to think we are all their is. Because that would help confirm that we are special.
But also notice that even if we found other life, that wouldn't stop believers from believing. So I don't even think even you guys understand why you don't want there to be life elsewhere. It goes against the thinking that you are special and that it was a miracle. It's not a miracle. It's a scientifically explainable thing. We just don't know how life got started.
And yes, when a star explodes it spews out life. Did I use the word microbe? Clearly I'm not a scientist. Maybe it was a fungus or protein or amino acid or bacteria. Point is, life spews out of stars and that's where life on earth came from. This makes a lot more sense than thinking god waved his wand and land creatures appeared. And it's crazy that I'm not joking. You guys literally believe that a god willed/wished it and then land creatures, birds, reptiles, fish, mammals all magically appeared. Seriously? This is your "theory"?
Through fusion, stars create heavier elements, but not "microbes" or life.
Ok, but whatever creates life, originally came from within a star. Or maybe not. Maybe if you fuck with dark matter it creates the things that create life.
I have to admit, I don't have all the answers. But neither do you. So when you stump me, it doesn't prove god did it. You know that right?
