I've never understood the 'there's no way life was created by chance' argument. If you take all of time as represented by the Empire State building, the amount of time we've been here could be represented as a postage stamp in comparison. Earth, obviously, has the right conditions to support life. Why is it so hard to believe that time + right conditions = organisms that evolve and become ever more complex over that time.
If they'd never seen a car before then they'd deem an Audi A8 as being a creation of a higher power too. Or as whipp subtly frames it, 'outside influencers.'
The older I get the more I have a distaste for religion and the people who believe this crap. Why is it so important to them to believe that the earth was created FOR humankind? That the age of the earth is roughly the same as the age of human existence? Because they need to believe that earth was created just for us.. gods special little creation. I actually find great pleasure and comfort to believe that we're just the miracle of chance, time and biology and not some mystical omni-present being.

Sorry, whip, is all you're going to do in this thread post that biologists don't have a complete understanding of how life began, and then just assert that therefore everything about evolution is false ?
Or just allude to the fact that you don't believe in evolution and use the fact that neither you nor us has the facts of biogenesis and imply a false equivalence based on that ?I'm almost interested to know.

^ That's what's funny? What about, by the biblical account, the entire human race was born of incest and inbreeding. Adam and Eve's children procreating together.

i don't know if evolution happens or not but I'm willing to stick with the science trying to understand if it does rather than using ghost and supernatural stories to compensate for my lack of understanding.
- thats fine. i appreciate that explanation.whhipp
- Science says it does.
Now you know if it does. Good call on the non-ghost explanation. Didn't need it tho.mikotondria3

its funny when people who deny evolution, are the ones who kind of need more of it
- wow tough one on me. damn! u got me there. no proof huh?whhipp
- I dont deny evolution as adaptation etc. But there is no answer to how life began. You dont have it neither do I.whhipp
- Hint: adaptation. Are you retarded or did you skip biology class? I know you didn't go to a good university..monospaced
- it has been proven and recreated by experience, something with acids and warm waterdrgs

The video posted above is more about adaptation than evolution. I like that my name was posted before even entering into the conversation.
Carl Sagan = Jeff Goldblum
I do not doubt adaptation and natural selection based on outside influencers. But, to say all of the multitudes of different types of life was created by chance from non-living matter miraculously is as far fetched as you all suggest creationism is. Throw the stories of the Bible and other different religions that state how the earth was made etc. I'm not debating a belief in stories in a book, but the truth about what science at this moment does not prove how or what started life, let alone for that matter what created the materials to even begin life.
In the end both are theories do not have concrete understanding both scientifically and religiously of how life began. Its all faith in the end.
You can say the stories are far fetched and ridiculously unexplainable scientifically etc... yadayada. I can say the same about how life began from non-living materials by chance.
Have at it.
