But at LEAST it would be an *explanation*. Where as this AP thing just plain isn't.
What you are failing to see and failing to deal with is the fact that regardless of the start of life - whether by accident or design - that once life was existing on this planet that it would become better and better adapted to this planet. By the time intelligence could evolve to the point that it could consider the question it would be very well adapted.
As suggested in
Message 7 and
Message 12 this "AP thing" is looking at the
wrong end of the situation. Life adapts to environment. If you do not understand this then you do not understand evolution.
If the environment were not able to support life as we know it then it would not have evolved. This explains the lack of life on other planets. The God-did-it "*explanation*" doesn't explain that and leaves open the whole question of why NOT life on the other planets.
The God-did-it "*explanation*" is okay for ONE planet, and it 'worked' when that was all that was known in the cosmology of the times. We now know there are not only other planets in this system but planets around other stars. The God-did-it "*explanation*"
FAILS to explain the apparent absence of other life on equally designed and created planets. Seems like a waste eh? A rather extravagant waste.
Enjoy.
