EvC Forum: Statistical impossibility??

First off I am new at this fourm and all fourms for that matter.

Welcome. I'm Catholic too

I have no source or data to back what I am going to state but here goes anyway.

That's looked down upon around here, so watch out.

I have heard that some physicists have stated that it would be statisticaly impossible for all the factors that go into making a place in the universe suitable for life (as we know it) to come about given that there is only one universe.

The universe is big. I don't think physicists say that the statistical impossiblity is realted to just one universe. I think it is nearly statitically impossible for the suitability of life in one place within the universe, though. But, there are aproximately an infinite amount of places in the universe so with a brazillion chances, even though its nearly impossible, its still is going to happen. Make sense?

I have also heard that to get around the staggering statistics people have stated that there are many Universes that we just don't know about.

emphasis added

thats an oxymoron...how can you have many of something prefixed with "Uni-", but I understancd what you typed. I don't think we have to include a multiverse or any extra-verses to overcome the nearly zero probability of life forming in any place in the universe because the universe is SO FREAKING HUGE that this improbability is overcome by the number of chances it gets.

I open the floor for anyone that can bring any intelligence into this topic

Actually, in a public forum you also open it to people who can't bring anything intellegent into the topic. Browse around, you'll find out

Science fails to recognize the single most potent element of human existence.
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world.
Science has failed our Mother Earth.
