fully understanding of your God, then you have a small God. A god that is not God in fact. How could finite minds comprehend the infinite? By the definition of those two words, we could not.

trev8908 - Why would a God create beings incapable of comprehending him, then punish them when they fail to believe the incomprehensible?

[trev8908]

No matter how many times you drop a puzzle on the ground, it will never "accidentally" put itself together. The requirements for life on planet Earth are astounding, there are literally hundreds of seemingly fine tuned "settings" if you will that are sustaining life on Earth. Google "science of fine tuning". Or watch Rob Bell's video called "everything is spiritual, he speaks a bit on it. If you want to go by math.. Solid math.. 2+2=4 stuff. The mathematical probability of nothing exploding into

trev8908 - You're assuming the world was designed with the end in mind - like a puzzle is... but if that's not the case, you're entire premise is wrong.

I heard that on neptune it actually rained diamonds.

[azsuperman01]

elliottcooke - Actually, I believe you're right. I think there was a SciAm article about that not too long ago. I stand corrected. Microscopic diamonds could be formed from the pressure and heat in the atmosphere. They wouldn't be like the large diamonds which are created in the Earth's crust, but they would still be diamonds non-the-less.

Well of course, the main reason life is not abundant all througout our solar system is that the events of the Universe are not guided by an all-powerful, all loving being.

if there are aliens those christians will embarace us with jesus storys. do aliens go to hell or do they got spacejesus and spacemohamed?

[kingkong8974]

@mitchddamn if man bore enough children, they will eventually suck the ocean dry of it's knowledge. Bad analogy, move along.

[inphanta]

Life takes on many forms. I believe there is life in the solar system, just not as we know it...

[GanEdenAustralia]

@lazyperfectionist1 Your one dimensional opinion of course.

[GanEdenAustralia]

@azsuperman01 SIN.

[devol264]

here is an interesting thing i cannot understand, how come people look for life but at the same time those same people will refuse to believe that there are aliens more advanced then us or even the possibility that they watched over us and helped us? how come people believe that earth does not have the only life in the universe but they refuse believe that another planet could have a civilization of beings walking around and talking and having fun.

@azsuperman01 duuuude, I bet lf Earth was a puzzle, it would totally be messed up or something (not put together)
