I dont think because our sun wouldn't collapse into a black hole that means it was specially created, there are lots of stars that would die without collapsing into a balckhole, we are not that unique.

I think that the placement of the earth in its orbit is special. If the error in placement is up to 10% there would exist no living thing even if we take the path of evolution. It would have been extreme heat and extreme cold.

The presence of the moon of the right size is also special. Most likely life wouldn't have existed without the moon. Without the moon, ocean movements would be adversely affected hence there may be no life in the ocean.

The size of our sun and its energy density is just right for life on earth.

If you ask me, the earth is a privileged planet. It is however not a conclusive proof of creation. But you will agree with me that many things about our planet is just perfect for life.

Right amount of Water, Oxygen, Pressure, Radiation etc. We may ague about adaptation but if life managed to exist with absence of one of these factors, life would be totally different from what we have now.

You can keep calling God almighty satan because that's the least you can do. Your power is limited to this forum as far as the kingdom of GOD is concerned.

But let me tell you this.. A day will come, your eyes will be opened, you will be free from demonic oppression and you will run to the GOD's throne of mercy and acknowledge GOD for saving you and ask for mercy. You will wish you never existed, you will feel so dirty and unclean, you will even ask death to take you.

Devil is a liar!. My brother Rejoice, because your redemption is on it's way.

God is still a merciful God.

Lol... Since when has the followers of yahweh start speaking nice words? Guy if you are looking for a follower for Yahweh, you have to find someone else, because Otem is destined to tell the truth and not to worship lies like you.

The Light of the Almighty God, the Father of all gods will help you out of your delusions in Otem's name I pray, AMEN.

You are right, the earth is perfect for life as we know, the only misconception here is overturned cause and effect.

You are assuming that the earth was created because of life, when it should be the other way around, Life evolved to fit the earth.

We both agree the earth is beautiful and its our home.

If I prove it my way, they start to talk again.

GOD is the Creator of and not a part of the universe, and so you cannot prove He exists by employing skeptical empiricism. Just like no amount of study you conduct on a building will prove that it's architect exists (assuming the identity of said architect is in question).

Look all around you, you will see proof of GOD's existence.

i have a simple question for you...
How did adam and eve know that eating the fruit(disobeying god) was a ''sin''?
If they didnt have a standard for sin unless they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad??
(they didnt know they were unclad)

God gave an instruction they failed to adhere to. Their eyes were opened and they knew they had sinned.

Actually, my point is what happens if you take away just one of these variables can evolution of life take place? If the earth did not have the right amount of gases eg Ozone the earth would be barren.

The statistical odds of having all the necessary ingredient for evolution in a planet is outstanding.

Do you know that it is possible to also have every physical attribute of the earth and life still would not be formed (evolution)?

Yes. GOD is very complex. Too complex for our finite brains to comprehend.

However, this logic of yours will lead one into assuming there is an infinite number of Creators. If GOD is so complex that somebody must be His Creator, then that Creator is far more complex and so demands a Creator, and so on... grin Where does that lead us?

We also know that order cannot come out of chaos/disorder. Therefore there is a Creator.

When the earth was young, about 500 million years, it had an atmosphere mainly composed of hydrogen, the earths surface was bathed with ultraviolet rays from the sun. This environment would have been extremely hostile to life as we know it but what we found out, these ingredients were what was needed to spark the first living things.

Life stated in the ocean and grew rapidly, microbes were the only inhabiitants at the time. They were bottom of the ocean getting their energy from hydrothermal vents, and they flourished until some moved upward closer to the surface and evolved photosynthesis, they were able to use sunlight to create their own food and give oxygen as their waste product.

These organisms thrived for billions of years slowly pumping oxygen into the atmosphere, we owe how atmosphere to these amazing creatures.

The fact that animals evolved to depend on oxygen wasnt a surprise because if you didnt, you would not survive, thus we are here.

Many of the factors you mentioned can be explained naturally and doesnt need an extraordinary cause for it to happen.

I quite agree with you that the factors raised about the earth and the origin of life may be explained naturally and of course that is not my aim. I am just focusing on the statistical odds of having ALL these factors in a single planet.

As close as the moon is, it is barren. Why? So many things missen in the equation especially the size which is not sufficient to trap an atmosphere through gravitation.

Without the Orbital inclination of the earth, we would not have our climatic seasons. The earths magnetic field is a saviour against the dangerous cosmic radiations that would have destroyed all probability of life's existence. The size of the earth is just the right size...imagine if humans live on Jupiter!

The presence of enough quantity of water in the sea, the water cycle supplying fresh water on land, Nitrogen cycle, Carbon cycle and Energy cycle all on just one planet? How come everything necessary for life on one planet?

Of course we can argue that we have billions of planets and so statistically it is possible. I agree, but there exist no guarantee that life will exist in a similar planet to ours in any other galaxy. Because, apart from the physical elements, we also have time as a variable. This make the odds almost impossible!

The earth has a molten inner core and it is in orbit of a stable star able to survive billions of years. To me, its about ALL the factors that simultaneously create an almost impossible statistical odds.

Usually for me, I dont attempt to prove the divine origin of life on earth by recent events. I go to the origin, just before the B bang when the laws of physics break down.

You know i agree but let me throw in a thought experiment, please indulge me: Imagine microbes never evolved photosynthesis and never pumped oxygen, imagine we had just Nitrogen and hydrogen in our atmosphere, imagine the earth wasnt bombarded with asteroids carrying water but Ammonia, imagine the earth didnt have an ozone layer to protect it from UV rays from the sun and imagine Life started on the earth(given the age of the earth and how life was discovered, scientists suggest that life must have started quickly on earth).

Now what do we have, No ozone, ultraviolet rays everywhere, a sea of ammonia and no oxygen, Life would remain in the sea, and evolve, they would use Ammonia has their solvent and probably hydrothermal vents as their source of energy, some might evolve to use the UV light but lets be generous and say no animals crawled to land, they all evolved in their sea of ammonia.

Now imagine one species that evolved intelligence now claiming the earth was just right for their existence and the odds of it happening was astronomical.

I agree, but there exist no guarantee that life will exist in a similar planet to ours in any other galaxy. Because, apart from the physical elements, we also have time as a variable.

The galaxy is about 10billion years old, so there has been plenty of time for planets to flourish life across it

The earth has a molten inner core and it is in orbit of a stable star able to survive billions of years. To me, its about ALL the factors that simultaneously create an almost impossible statistical odds.

If the features where different, like my thought experiment above, then we would not be here rather a different set of organisms adapted to those conditions

Yea, i agree alot of premise that comes from before the big bang is promising and captivating, and can be a real contender for an explanation for a divine creator but not the origin of the earth, it is well understood and no divine work seems to be at play.

But with such changes, life may not even have started in the first place. You also need to factor in time and phases of the reactions if evolution was true anyway. Its not just aboutbthe constituent's but the right sequence of changes in atmospheric parameters.

The Anthropic Principle admit to the "fine-
tuning" and conclude that the universe is "too
contrived" to be a chance event. In a BBC science
documentary, "The Anthropic Principle," some of
the greatest scientific minds of our day describe
the recent findings which compel this
conclusion. Dr. Dennis Scania, the distinguished
head of Cambridge University Observatories: If
you change a little bit the laws of nature, or you
change a little bit the constants of nature -- like
the charge on the electron -- then the way the
universe develops is so changed, it is very likely
that intelligent life would not have been able to
develop. Dr. David D. Deutsch, Institute of
Mathematics, Oxford University: If we nudge one
of these constants just a few percent in one
direction, stars burn out within a million years of
their formation, and there is no time for
evolution. If we nudge it a few percent in the
other direction, then no elements heavier than
helium form. No carbon, no life. Not even any
chemistry. No complexity at all. Dr. Paul Davies,
noted author and professor of theoretical physics
at Adelaide University: "The really amazing thing
is not that life on Earth is balanced on a knife-
edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a
knife-edge, and would be total chaos if any of the
natural 'constants' were off even slightly. You
see," Davies adds, "even if you dismiss man as a
chance happening, the fact remains that the
universe seems unreasonably suited to the
existence of life .

Too Naive to understand reality.

The Big Bang." At first, the universe was only
hydrogen and helium, which congealed into
stars. Subsequently, all the other elements were
manufactured inside the stars. The four most
abundant elements in the universe are: hydrogen,
helium, oxygen and carbon. When Sir Fred Hoyle
was researching how carbon came to be, in the
"blast-furnaces" of the stars, his calculations
indicated that it is very difficult to explain how
the stars generated the necessary quantity of
carbon upon which life on earth depends. Hoyle
found that there were numerous "fortunate" one-
time occurrences which seemed to indicate that
purposeful "adjustments" had been made in the
laws of physics and chemistry in order to
produce the necessary carbon. Hoyle sums up
his findings as follows: A common sense
interpretation of the facts suggests that a
superintendent has monkeyed with the physics,
as well as chemistry and biology, and that there
are no blind forces worth speaking about in
nature. I do not believe that any physicist who
examined the evidence could fail to draw the
inference that the laws of nuclear physics have
been deliberately designed with regard to the
consequences they produce within stars. Adds
Dr. David D. Deutch: If anyone claims not to be
surprised by the special features that the universe
has, he is hiding his head in the sand. These
special features ARE surprising and unlikely.

Many of the factors you mentioned can be explained naturally and doesnt need an extraordinary cause for it to happen.



Your Science SUCKS.


recognizing the objective truth of the
fine-tuning. The August '97 issue of "Science" (the
most prestigious peer- reviewed scientific journal
in the United States) featured an article entitled
"Science and God: A Warming Trend?" Here is an
excerpt: The fact that the universe exhibits many
features that foster organic life -- such as
precisely those physical constants that result in
planets and long-lived stars -- also has led some
scientists to speculate that some divine influence
may be present. In his best-selling book, "A Brief
History of Time", Stephen Hawking (perhaps the
world's most famous cosmologist) refers to the
phenomenon as "remarkable." The remarkable
fact is that the values of these numbers (i.e. the
constants of physics) seem to have been very
finely adjusted to make possible the development
of life". "For example," Hawking writes, "if the
electric charge of the electron had been only
slightly different, stars would have been unable to
burn hydrogen and helium, or else they would
not have exploded. It seems clear that there are
relatively few ranges of values for the numbers
(for the constants) that would allow for
development of any form of intelligent life. Most
sets of values would give rise to universes that,
although they might be very beautiful, would
contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.
Hawking then goes on to say that he can
appreciate taking this as possible evidence of "a divine purpose in Creation and the choice of the
laws of science (by God)" (ibid. p. 125). Dr.
Gerald Schroeder, author of "Genesis and the Big Bang" and "The Science of Life" was formerly with
the M.I.T. physics department. He adds the
following examples: Professor Steven Weinberg, a
Nobel laureate in high energy physics (a field of
science that deals with the very early universe),
writing in the journal "Scientific American",
reflects on: how surprising it is that the laws of
nature and the initial conditions of the universe
should allow for the existence of beings who
could observe it. Life as we know it would be
impossible if any one of several physical
quantities had slightly different values. Although
Weinberg is a self-described agnostic, he cannot
but be astounded by the extent of the fine-tuning.
He goes on to describe how a beryllium isotope
having the minuscule half life of
0.0000000000000001 seconds must find and
absorb a helium nucleus in that split of time
before decaying. This occurs only because of a
totally unexpected, exquisitely precise, energy
match between the two nuclei. If this did not
occur there would be none of the heavier
elements. No carbon, no nitrogen, no life. Our
universe would be composed of hydrogen and
helium. But this is not the end of Professor
Weinberg's wonder at our well-tuned universe. He continues: One constant does seem to require an incredible fine-tuning -- The existence of life of
any kind seems to require a cancellation between different contributions to the vacuum energy, accurate to about 120 decimal places. This
means that if the energies of the Big Bang were,in arbitrary units, not:
100000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000 000000000000000000, but
instead:
100000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000 000000000000000001,
there would be no life of any sort in the entire
universe because as Weinberg states: the
universe either would go through a complete
cycle of expansion and contraction before life
could arise, or would expand so rapidly that no galaxies or stars could form. Michael Turner, the widely quoted astrophysicist at the University of Chicago and Fermilab, describes the fine-tuning of the universe with a simile: The precision is as if one could throw a dart across the entire
universe and hit a bulls eye one millimeter in
diameter on the other side. Roger Penrose, the
Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the
University of Oxford, discovers that the likelihood
of the universe having usable energy (low
entropy) at the creation is even more astounding,
namely, an accuracy of one part out of ten to the power of ten to the power of 123.

ValentineMary:

All these theist are so dishonest See what I wrote here

U just picked a lie refusing to read the other arguments that perfectly counter ur argument. Am done with you bro.
And did u just say a prototype must not exist before fine tuning takes place
This is the definition you shared earlier

Pls try to be consistent in ur argument (if u have any).


As usual you Atheists keep re-phraseing same statement to decieve people.


Our main argument is how can we prove that the Earth originated by Chance.since Scientists express so much doubt about it. simple

write the number down in full, in our ordinary
denary (power of ten) notation: it would be one
followed by ten to the power of 123 successive
zeros! (That is a million billion billion billion
billion billion billion billion billion billion billion
billion billion billion zeros.) Penrose continues,
Even if we were to write a zero on each separate
proton and on each separate neutron in the entire universe -- and we could throw in all the other particles as well for good measure -- we should fall far short of writing down the figure needed.
The precision needed to set the universe on its
course is to be in no way inferior to all that
extraordinary precision that we have already
become accustomed to in the superb dynamical
equations (Newton's, Maxwell's, Einstein's) which govern the behavior of things from moment to
moment. Cosmologists debate whether the space-

ValentineMary:

Like seriously u gave zero evidence for ur claim and u still feel it is proper to push it on people did I say God does not exist I only said give me evidence. Which u failed to give and u want me to believe you Are u sure u are not blueagent ?


You speak just like blueagent @ bolded. How can u say that it shows u are inconsiderate and selfish. What of the 2 month old baby that died of AIDS in Uganda or the 3 year old killed by the tsunami what sin did they commit Religious fanatics like you are very insensitive and wicked. How can any sane human take u serious ?


Now this is laughable as well as senseless. It is so senseless that it does not deserve a reply.


You are Naive to understand and Discern God's plan and purpose.

otemanuduno:


Plagia what? So you think I can take the Bible in my hands and plagiarise it without getting punished immediately, like thunder striking me down? That's so funny. This your god who sank a ship(TITANIC) and killed John Lennon for saying just a statement against him is so lame that he couldn't TOUCH OTEM who calls him a devil?

Anyway, ur god has no power over the truth. He is Satan and I will always call him his name, any day, anytime. Receive liberation in your brain in Atum's name. Amen cool


Another confused Bubba. get well soon.
