Thank you.

Now, our Intelligent Design friends would point at the earth's orbit as being perfectly arranged for for stability and life.

But they forget that it took the Earth about 1 billion years of CHAOTIC wobbling just to establish what now looks like a very perfect and stable orbit around the sun.
Even at that, the Earth still wobbles, talkless of the fact that a large passing comet can and has interrupted the earth's orbital trajectory from time to time.

That you and others actually subscribe to this is quite unfortunate.

I wonder why the earth hasn't been obliterated by or caused an obliteration of various other planetary bodies during its billions of years of wobbling and why we still have a standard environment thanks to its billions of years of wobbling and i wonder why it hasn't crossed the perfect and stable trajectories of other rotating bodies too.

We were in fact created by something. Johnydon22 postulates that it was the mysterious dark energy. Others claim that it was another universe. Deists claim a supreme being. Nobody really knows. Except YOU guys and the Muslims.

Scientists don't know.

Atheism : We are created by something but it can never be God

Do you how see how repugnant that is ?

Nah. Human beings in our current form are generously a 200K yr old species. The universe is billions of years old, and has witnessed the deaths of many stars and galaxies over that period.

You're telling me that all of that happened just so that Kingebukasblog could one day ask silly questions on the internet after eating his ogbono soup?

It's quite a difficult challenge debating or discussing with someone who is aversive to science and scientific facts.

The Earth has endured numerous cosmic catastrophies in her 4.7 billion yr history, including extinction level collisions with other cosmic bodies.
In fact, the earth's geology, and ecology has been largely shaped and bear witness to such catastrophic collisions.

In our solar neighborhood alone, we see so much evidence of cosmic collisions in almost every planet.
Mars, Neptune, Uranus, our moon, all bear scars and characteristics of cosmic Chaos and collisions.

Just last year, scientists confirmed that our Earth had more than one moon in her early days, and that the others were either sneered away by other larger galactic interlopers or had been smashed into pieces.

Oh gosh!

You keep repeating the same lie to your self over and over again ( just like your Lord's prayer) , and then convince yourself that it must be true.

Science never ever uses the word "CREATE or CREATION" to describe possible origins.

How many million times do we need to keep reminding you ? undecided

Creation involves magic, something from nothing.

Science deals with laws, chaotic arrangements and evolving processes.

Everything in nature speaks to us of continually evolving processes, not magic, not abracadabra.

Threads evolve in all directions once the floor is open.

It would be unrealistic to expect opinions to fall only within a narrow scope just to satisfy the OP.

Well sir, if you have been reading your science textbooks like a serious student hungry for knowledge, you wouldn't be here showcasing stark ignorance.

And yes, the earth's geology, as well as her current ecology is a product of her violent and chaotic past.
That is a fact, not merely plaetton's opinion.

Facts ? Or assumptions ?

Like the FIVE theories that try to explain the formation of the moon

Or the TOP THREE theories that try to explain the origin of life forms on earth

Laws that came from where ?

And how did natural processes derive the propensity to evolve ?

Processes are designed to follow laws . In engineering , robotics etc

Pitiful.

Scientific theories are not, and are far far from being spurious assumptions.
Stop messing with words in order to sound smart.

An example of a spurious assumption would be something like god having a son, but no wife. grin

You can't expect a good answer form evolution-loving atheists who exist on the intellectual low ground. In any case, I believe nature was intelligently designed and when we see man making many coded digital devices that use codes like life does and make machines with lots of interacting parts we are seeing man make complex functional systems similar to life.

But that is an extrapolation! You are matching details of one circumstance with details of another circumstance with the belief they have the same causative effect. It is only right to admit the weakness of extrapolation of human creativity to the creation of the Universe.

It wont kill you to ask someone to explain tongue

Pictured below is a robot that can solve the Rubik's cube in just 1.047s . How does it work ? The robot was built by plugging separate motors supported by a 3D-printed frame into drilled holes in a Rubik's Cube. There are four webcams that are hooked up to a computer to determine the state of the cube's colors very rapidly . Now for the cube to spin very rapidly , the weight is considered and the speed of the motors has to be right to carry the weight of the cube for best results .

The robot has an algorithm which determines which moves need to occur for the cube to be solved quickly . But if the cube is too heavy , it will be solved slowly regardless of how fast the algorithm implements .

Kind of the same question asked by Weah96 , the same reply you'll get :


Funny Guy . The Trinity - God the Father , The Son , The Holy Spirit .

The Father and The Son - are as revealed by the creator , the members of the Godhead . Jesus is not God’s Son like the human father and a son. .

Jesus is God’s Son in the sense that He is God made manifest in human form . Jesus is God's Son in that He was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit.

The same way God is called "a He" - its all about the perception of man of God as He revealed Himself unto man .

The three are eternal - they are one , have always been , is , will always be . Its never gona end . So learn to deal with it
