Actually, what's NOT amazing about that? It blows me away! Gives me a sense of perspective and wonder (but not religious awe, I'm afraid!).
How big is it again?
Known being the keyword, which then makes a mockery of the word coincidence in this context, if, as it looks, you are trying to imply some sort of I.D?
Why is it unlikely?
We do not know how DNA molecules first appeared. The chances against a DNA molecule arising by random fluctuations are VERY SMALL. Some have therefore suggested that life came from elsewhere, and that there are seeds of life floating around in the galaxy. However, it seems unlikely that DNA could survive for long in the radiation of space. And even if it could, it would not really help explain the origin of life, because the time available since the formation of carbon is only just over double the age of Earth.
Well, the last bit I am inclined to slightly agree with. Our concept of Life is based entirely on our knowledge (of course) but there could well be silica-based, methane-based, iron-based, or other such life forms, and they may not be recognisable to us.The first bit though is bunkum and supposition. We may well find Life, or it may well be too far away given our position at the periphery of the Milky Way.1: I'm not sure what electro convulsive therapy has to do with it, though it does sound a bit "Frankensteinien".2: See above. What you listed are some of the requirements for OUR understanding of Life, here, on this speck of a planet.
I've always loved the "perfect for life " argument. We evolved here, it would be pretty bloody strange if conditions weren't perfectly suited.

there is a band of orbit around a lot of stars that could hold planets capable of supporting life like ours, but we're not very good at detecting planets because they don't emit light.Additionally we can only look for life like our own, when quite possibly theres life that exists without the conditions we need to survive.
scientists haven't created life, so what ?
If your trying to say this is some kind of evidence against science, and therefore strengthens a case for creation, then all your doing is setting yourself up for a fall, science is continually advancing. Sorry, if all the answers aren't just sitting there ready for you at birth, but humanity dicked around following religious doctrine throughout it's history and progress has been slow.
that's nice. Yet the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are the only planets truly significant to us. Yeah, the sheer size of some of the other planets and stars is amazing, but ultimately they are there just to look pretty.
Yeah, again unlikely, if there chances of methane-based, iron-based or other such life forms then we would see evidence of these developing here on Earth.
When Earth first developed, it already had a specific purpose in the grand scheme of things.
All I can say is, WAKE UP.

What kind of life would that be?
Actually the Bible and other religious figures accurately predicted many things before scientists were even able to discover them,
no you are
psyche you are totally dogmatic in your beliefs. i bet even if the evidence was right there in front of your face youd still deny it. at least other people here are open in their beliefs not closed minded bigots such as yourself.
LOL!! FUCKING LOL!oh wow just wow :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:The hypocrisy you display is beyond epic funny.it's almost as good as my sig!
was watching another video with "evilution" and had something about t-rex blood which would mean the earth could be 6000 years old!but after some research i found it was true they had found something that resembled blood cells but no conclusive proof it was because the bones were 6000 years old. I then found the whole 6000 y/o trex story had been spun by some young earth creationist. what a suprise.Science +1
your a epic reason for sterilization. now please explain how i am a hyprocrite for calling psyche closed minded? My opinion changes when the evidence changes. heres a good example of new evidence that could have changed my opinion but of course the info was false. but its expected for you to side with psyche. after all stupid thrives in company
i am going to love saying this, I am an Atheist my self. i am not going to go through this thread to prove my point, it's sad enough you can't see it.i think my sig proves it enough anyway.
why are you avoiding my question?
i love my self. i am going to go through this thread to prove my point, it's sad you see.i think my sig proves it enough anyway.
?
i did, you just don't want to read it.
ok so you've got a land mass miles away from any other land mass with no major predators on it.the local bird life become flightless as there is no need for a quick get away, it's food source is in the ground and it's warmer closer to the ground due to the sub tropical location of the land mass.men show up and kill off a large bird, man is greater than the bird, the birds inability to repel man or escape him makes him weaker, therefore he dies.
No exactly a case for Christianity being dangerous so much as a case for power being corrupting. I am sure. In fact I know of many many examples of 'secular' institutions doing just as much or more damage. So what's the point. People are not perfect? They project their own ways of dealing with things on to people rather than finding out what people really need? This problem is not isolated to Christianity.
I actually agree with you here. I'm sure we could all find articles about all manner of beliefs that have been usurped to make points, from many cultures and perspectives.This is more to do with the 'human condition' than personal beliefs.However, this doesn't change my personal stance (bias?), but come on, let's try to get some balance eh?
i think the point is that christianity is linked to as many flawed practises and atrocious acts as any other human group. christianity can be as far away from it's own interpretation of god as any aetheist in its actions. If only a christian had said christianity was flawless and only ever did good... lol.
