roomate chugs...lol

If that was answered, you'd ask what was before that, then what was before that - and so on, some things are best left not answered..Dante865

true. but hey who wouldn't want to know? :)

Big Bang, people still think that's true?ThaT-Masta

Well it's one of the highly accepted theories.

Also God creating the Earth and the universe is believed by alot more people.

How many is that? I know there's a billion christians. There's also a billion muslims who would believe in big bang,etc since it's in koran if they are educated enough. I guess most of the pagan religions?

And Krayzie, yup, God is the Universe, but people like giving him human-like qualities which is funny.

It took 4.5 billion years for intelligent life to pop up on Earth. The Universe is only 13.5 billion years old. And we only popped up because a Comet came down and took the dinosaurs out of the picture. Given the relative young age of our Universe It is quite possible we are the only intelligent species in the universe. The first species, that is. Given enough time many more may appear. But remember, someone had to be first and there remains the depressing possibility that we are the First and thus only Intelligent species currently in this Universe.

In such a case one could reasonably say that if god does exsist he would put all of his attention on our planet.

But that's absurd. Even though it took 4.5 billion years for intelligent life to pop up on Earth, who says the same didn't happen somewhere else earlier? Meaning maybe some other form of life are a billion or some million years more advanced than us? Remember that really intelligent life, well, homo-sapiens, aren't that old, Neanderthals became extinct in Europe approximately 24,000 years ago only.

Because it's very hard for life itself to pop up, let alone intelligent life! It took 4.5 BILLION years for intelligent life to pop up on earth and that only happened because of the happenstance of a Comet ramming into us TWICE. mammals were able to become the dominant species (And as far as the fossil record goes, dinosaurs werent even close to getting intelligent which may lend credence to the theory that only mammals can become intelligent species.).

The rarity of solar sytems like ours, the difficulty of life being established, and the fact that there are so many natural disasters like black holes and comets that could destroy any planet that does get life on it, and the fact our Universe is very young (only 13.5 billion years old) it is a POSSIBILITY that we are the first intelligent species in the universe.

I'm not gonna fall for your "belief", and you can't convince me.

What belief? I think i took a relatively neutral stance in that post...

All this talk of 'intelligent species' is bunk. Dolphins, horses, dogs, cats, birds, octopii, elephants, great apes, are all intelligent, most are capable of symbolic communications and utilising tools for some purpose. Homo sapiens aren't even the first HIGHLY intelligent species on earth. The Neanderthals were, and before that many other unique human-like animals that could use fire etc.

As for the big bang, if there is no answer as to it's reason for occuring, then why come up with a ludicrous one like 'god did it'? Why must have 'god done it'? Can't some people just accept that what is currently unknown must stay that way until enough data is collected and interpreted until it is known? Why can't they just live with that? Why create temporary fables? The bible is full of them, all religious texts are, just incorrect interpretations of reality. I would rather live with no answer than one I know is made up and therefore most probably wrong.

Very interestng, life on Mars. You can see trees and structures that cannot be natural.

The reason so many believe in god is the same reason we research science. We as a race of men have a yearning for answers to the universes mysteries. We can not accept "Wait a hundred years and your answers will come". While i personally believe there is a god (though it is a conclusion i have come to on my own, not a belief forced upon me), there is a distinct reason we can't just accept not knowing and fall to things like religion.

People believe the big bang, and someone made up that idea, believing God made everything is more easy to believe then than the big bang.
