Re: starting to agree
Hi Flyer75,
And this one reason that I don't believe in evolution. I know theistic evolutions can explain this but Big Bang theorists would have a harder time. The randomness of life only forming here, only here! No where else. Just a total random kabang and life on earth but nowhere else. Our planet, set randomly in place by accident in a literal perfect position in ALL of outer space. Amazing isn't it?
It truly is amazing. I agree.
However, I also think - (I guess selfishly I kinda like this one better) - that it's more amazing that sentient beings can recognize the awesomeness of this existence. I think it's amazing that we can ask questions, be curious, investigate and study our environment, both earthly and celestial. I think you would agree, this too is fkn' awesome!
You mention you don't believe in evolution, but I suspect by the way you generalized things (and if I'm wrong I apologize) that you don't have a good knowledge of what biological evolution, and more specifically the Theory of Evolution, actually exlplains? Again, if I'm wrong, my apologies. But you seem like a smart guy, reasonable and willing to learn, so I hope you stick around this site and check out the Biological Evolution threads where very intelligent guys who are very educated in biology pretty much teach the subject. Cause I think you'll be impressed with what they'll teach you (I've experienced this first hand) and I suspect that you'll end up agreeing with what the actual theory explains.
Also, for Big Bang, check out some older topics in the Cosmology thread. I think you'll eventually learn it pretty well and agree here as well.
I know theistic evolutions can explain this but Big Bang theorists would have a harder time.
The only difference with a theist who accepts the theories in science and an atheist, usually, is that the theist believes God began the Big Bang. Every thing else following that: sun formation, galaxy formation, planet formation, emergence of life, the evolvement of organisms, etc...both the theist and the atheist agree that science is the best, and only, explanation. Most will also agree that it is the only explanation needed because God is simply a matter of faith and cannot be empirically evidenced.
