    Or, as Sarah Silverman would say jokingly, or bigtexxx would say totally seriously: Jesus is Magic.

    Okay...
    WHAT? NOOOO

    Damnit people, read more books or something.

    You had something there when describing the early universe. The "habitable zone" mentioned is another way of saying that the solar system has its own energy source. The earth has received an outside source of energy for billions of years, and "life" has managed to harness .0000000000000000000000000000 .... 0000001% of that.

    It's not ****ing magic. It's fission, fusion, and time. ****tons of it.

    Entropy goes from order to complexity. Life going from replicating molecules to one living cell to reasoning humans certainly follows that path.


    See, chances a million times smaller, is nothing in a universe of billions of galaxies each with trillions of planets that exist over billions of years. Things are always happening everywhere, this thing we call life happened at least once, maybe a billion times, but we are only in this one frame of reference. We look unique because we can't perceive (or even conceive of) of the real reality.

    Infinite possibilities//// You are one.

    lol

    so you lean on science for all your answers, but for this one, "it's a coincidence"

    got it....but you're not consistent

    yea exactly, apples and oranges. Creationists will hook on to any piece of information and use it to rally their cause.

    Oh and speaking of stupid logic, I don't know if it gets any worse. You might consider paint thinner as a way to kill off brain cells before this...

    To paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke:
    Any sufficiently complex system is indistinguishable from magic.

    If we had benefit of a greater perception, maybe billions of planets over billions of years, life might seem common ...... or not.
