That's right we don't know. IMHO the notion that the universe was created by a higher power makes more sense. Just look at how complex the human body is and the cycles in nature. Yes we have evolved, but everything fits too perfectly or as perfect as possible. It's just too complex and too many accidents.

As for peoples perception of a God; why has every know civilization been drawn to the spirits? Their stories of how we came to be were even similar. Are they right? I don't know. However it will not kill anyone to just give millions of people the benefit of the doubt and just accept that there might be a possibility of a god.

No one can answer what sparked the life that lead to evolution. When the earth was formed it was too hot for any life to be sustained, even bacteria. Even when the earth cooled it would have been a sterile environment even with the presents of water. So where or how did life form from a big ball of fire? How could the complex DNA structure of life form? When you look at DNA it is like a complex computer program. This all happened just by accident? Sorry not buying it.

Quoted for epic, intergalactic, super irony.

The complexity and "accidents" may just be a result of time and space. However DNA was first introduced on Earth it has had millions and millions and millions of years to change, complexity may just be a result. Here's a loose analogy: let's say there is a giant inland glacier that melts into streams that create beautiful and complex-looking valleys and serpentine tributaries. The visual design that results is a product of eons of time, gravity, temperature, etc. It did not, necessarily need divine intervention to create its specific geological structures.

... meaning?



Even the way rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc, are formed are also complex Eco-systems put in place by God which sustains our planet. Its like saying saying a car engine is 'magical' (all you do is turn a key and voila!). But someone had to make that way so it appears so, right?

As for Adam & Eve? All I can say is that scientists are able to separate a water molecule in Hydrogen and Oxygen but can't do the reverse to back that molecule.

Actually, to me that is more like saying, "i don't know how this was put together, so it must be proof that God exists."

Geroge Carlin believed in Joe Pesci. The man was a philosopher.

Yup, that's why man is curious through science to further prove His existence. If you're car won't start are you going to straight to a mechanic/garage or first see what's the problem before you spend some bucks?

How does that relate to Adam and Eve? Science has its limitations because it is always progressing with our combined knowledge. If you asked someone in the year 1200, they would have told you that God made the world flat. Evenually we knew better, the planet is not flat. We even know why it is not flat. Not having an answer to something now does not make it utterly and ultimately unknowable.

Science has its limitations because it is always progressing with our combined knowledge.

Science still hasn't proven God's existence any more than it has disproven it. Besides, if i don't understand it, it must be divine.

They werre made from dust but you can't get back that dust. How was it possible they were made from dust?

Are you going to say the same things about what David Copperfield, David Blaine, Darren Brown do and accept it as magic as magic (with the latter preferring the term Psychological Illusionist)?

Same thing with religion.

Well put, 'dust' here can refer to DNA strands or Carbon molecules that made them.

But hey, thats just me.

That is probably true too, sice religion was created by man.

Right, but those strands may have taken millions of years to evolve and change. From single cells, to plankton, to animals, to us. As opposed to the idea that two people sprang to life already as adults.

...Who misunderstands God.

It only took a week, as opposed to the millions science refers to.
