--- Quote from: [GSF]Ghost on January 16, 2008, 07:13:08 PM ---If the big bang really did occur, how did it happen? Did infinite nothingness just explode because it felt like it? --- End quote --- That's still a subject of debate. Some say big bangs occur periodically: over time, the universe is reduced to a singularity by gravitational forces, and then that singularity explodes again into pure energy, which condenses into matter (e = mc²). --- Quote from: [GSF]Ghost on January 16, 2008, 07:13:08 PM ---How were humans created? We are born through reproduction, but how were the first humans born? If we did evolve from monkies or fish, where did the first living organisms come from? Random molecules just collided and made life? That seems even more foolish to believe than in the existance of God. Science does prove most of the things which take place in reality, but there are many things which can not be explained. And this is where science falls short of explanation. --- End quote --- It has been proven that under the circumstances of the early earth (lots of CO2, lightning, vulcanoes, etc) amino acids, nucleic acids and other organic "building blocks" are formed. These "building blocks" interact with each other and form machines which replicate each other: DNA/RNA forms proteins and proteins replicate DNA/RNA. You might also want to read up on evolution and quantum evolution. --- Quote from: [GSF]Ghost on January 16, 2008, 06:27:30 PM --- Everyone believes in reality because they experience it thorugh their senses, but nobody can prove that reality exists outside of our minds. But, go ahead and don't believe in God just because you can't sense him. --- End quote --- Straw man argument. |

--- Quote from: [GSF]Ghost on January 16, 2008, 06:27:30 PM ---You blindly accept that he doesn't exist because that is the way you were raised. So how does that make you different from us, if that logic is to be believed? --- End quote --- You blindly accept that we're not really aliens from a far off galaxy set here to have love with everything in order to win voodoo cash prizes because that is the way you were raised. So how does that make you different from us, if that logic is to be believed? |
