(buried)

That's a cool fact, or maybe more suitably a hot fact:) sorry I know my jokes are lame but whatever...

Anyways we live in an very well made universe don't you agree?
sorry for putting 'well made' but I can't just leave alone my worldview everytime I comment here can I? I still restrict what I say but freedom of speach is quite important too isn't it? If its really bugging you then mentally replace 'well made' with whatever you want.

Oh and how did they get the sun in that picture?

It's a CGI, to show what it'd look like if you were there ;)

As for "made", If you want to use god to explain things science hasn't explained yet, go ahead, but please don't use god for things science has already explained, such as planetary formation.

No, actually I would prefer solar system with more Earth-like planets instead of rocks and gas giants. Also I would like other stars to be closer and all of them with Earth-like planets and possibly with life similar to ours.

At his place, I wouldn't bother to make such things like empty rocks, gas giants, radioactivity, EM radiation, those long distances... and I wouldn't make humans, that's for sure.

You say universe is well made? But for human life it is pretty hostile xD

Sorry you know the rules no religious spam

there is no evidence of a diety so to make claims of it and say they are fact are wrong.

the universe is not designed for humans this is a basic fact- all but a minut fraction of it is inhospiable to any life at all.
to claim it was a created for you is not only narrassistic and absurd it also shows a complete lack of understanding of reality.

its like claiming a sidewalk was created so a flower could grow in the crack- its absurd and inaccurate.

@ Elf
Stupid!!! A universe just for 1 ****** retards glory? several billions of lightyears of empty space, but only 7 billion beings to witness this glory? Take your pencil out of your ear, because it seems stucking much too deep...

Listen, even planets and moons outside of the habitable zone (hope I translated right), can contain earth-like lifeforms, the planet just needs to have the mass to hold an athmosphere and the right composition in it. Means, if the Mars would have more mass and the thicker CO2 layer in the troposhpere it would be possible to heat up enough to have an earth like climate... Water ect shouldnt be the problem either.

For a God, it wouldnt be a problem to fill the whole universe with life and yet we have just 1 planet so far. Dont you think thats quite odd?

Also, the main problem I have with religion: The gods of human religions are obviously human inventions. They contradict themselves and reality. Deism is the only "god-did-it-position" that has *any* evidence at all.

And if you do research, do a background-check on your sources too ;)

I have to admit that's an excellent point, I have always seen most people, not only creationists, as fanatics, so if I tell a creationist what you just said he/she/it will completly reject the idea saying that my "soul is corrupt" or more nonsense :) Ah well... God is a drug after all ;)

to elf cant do that unfortunatly
rules are rules
just as we cant let child raspist in schools we cannot allow anti science and religion in a science group

its a perversion

to Detonato- yes its a pain in the ***
its recently gotten so much harder because the christains have closed there group off so that now they can troll us without the threat of retaliation. basically they like to troll and oppress us, but in the typical christain response they dont like it when there victims fight back.

Yep. They found a planet around Alpha Centauri B. It's so close in, its surface on the sunny side is likely molten...but still, a planet in the Alpha Centauri System!
