Even saying "it must be finely tuned" betrays the bias and assumption that is involved with any attempt at proving that there was a divine creator. What created the creator?

actually i dont belive my life is fun i question all belives i like to find out things that are real i think if the whole world thought like scientist we would advance so fast as a human race and u never know if we built vehicles that are fast like the speed of light i belive in advancing as a race not controlling each other and killing each other

I agree. Greek philosophers have been trying to answer the question of who/what created us. If we keep saying "who/what created the creation?" over and over, we would come up with the most ridiculous explanations. Biblical Christianity proposes that the universe begins and ends with God, who transcends time and space

...This video only scratches the surface of the teleological argument.

@thisisinstant How many times does this fallacious question have to be asked before people get it? The Creator does not need a creator. He created time. Time is the only thing that then requires something to be created. To be existent within time, you need a beginning or a cause. God is outside time, and He shows us He is by the Word of God. Proclaiming the end from the beginning. That is that answer you will always get, because it is the only answer and it fits.

@2locOUT Matter travelling faster than the speed of light, defies out current understanding of physics. Even accelerating one atom to the speed of light would require an INFINATE amount of energy, in other words, it's impossible.

isnt this exciting? Thats where i feel the love, by which i creat the universe through my eyes.

Enjoy your life, and see the love in anything where you live the moment, like sports, mathmatics, physics, art, music, educating, family, friends and your love. Forever in peace

of course there's life out there and the gov't knows that. they're simply not telling us.

[thejoshknight]

I don't know how there could not be. I believe in god, so if he wanted to put someone in the universe besides us, he could.

If you don't look at it that way, think of the size of the universe. There is NO WAY we are alone in all that space. To qoute the movie Contact "Well, if there isn't, then thats an awful waste of space."

MABY plausible under perfect lad conditions.Its easy to work with things that are already there.

It's an hypothesis, of course, but it's a very good hypothesis. It is a fact that RNA is capable of having some enzymatic properties. A large number of ribozymes are known to exist today. It's not just a way of skirting an issue. It's a very plausible explanation.

..cont..Problems include the unlikely event of prebiotic chemical reactions produced in labs to make ribose and nucleobases,happening under early Earth conditions;and even if they could the even more unlikely event that they assembled into functional RNA; not to mention the time periods needed. Even origin of life and dna-rna researcher and biochemist Lesile Orgel said it would be a "miracle" if a strand of RNA ever appeared on primitive Earth.
