Jeffery is right I think, but that is interesting Sage.

What does lightning have to do with life?

Yeah. Lighting didn't even kickstart the chemical reactions for the amino acids.

Darwinists still don't know what started life on Earth.

And everyone else does?

Im not sure about anything, but if the big bang did happend, there must have been a load of mass floating around and piling into one place and then blew up.

And my mom is a REALLY religious person who denies and ignores everything about the big bang theory.

I think that Earth is the only planet to successfully have life, and it was by accident.

Think of all the variables that are present in life. For example, the atmosphere is a big one. The composition of the air has to be just right to allow creatures to breathe. Even a little bit off and it might not work. Now look at the human body. What happens if we are born with no brain? We can't survive. Those are just two examples of the countless things that could go wrong, and each one of them did before Earth got everything right. Still, there are diseases and stuff, so it's not perfect.

Now the bigger question. Where do all the planets come from? What about space? How vast is it?

This is something I read once, I dont remember it 100% but its close to this:

Planets form when multiple meteors smash into each other and stay as one (gas planets are different story, dont remember that tough) and moons come the same way, only then a part of the planet takes off and stays in the planets orbit. And sapce expands continously towards infinity.

Weirdo · « **Reply #172 on:** May 17, 2009, 01:15:26 PM »

I'd more or less agree with that. The moons don't nessiccarily have to smash into the planets though, they just have to be bodies that orbit the planet, so maybe some of them got collected by a planets gravity.

I don't think Earth is the only planet without life. I mean really, there are millions upon millions, maybe even billions of planets out there, and your saying there is only one planet, our Earth, that can support even basic life such as bacteria?!

This is possibly the dumbest thread.

not as dumb as "break a wish"

And we're fine with that. You see, unlike creationists, when we don't know something, we admit it. Creationists make sh** up.

By the way, if everything needed to be created, who/what created God?

sure there is basic life in a lot of places, but anything as complex as humans? remember there are billions upon billions of variables to take into account.

For both the Theory of Evolution and the Theory of Intelligent Design, there has to be something that was just there. For you, it was matter. For us, it was God (any god actually since not all creationists are Christian).
