“...and should stop our very childish squabbling over exercising power over our fellows.”

Good luck with that.

Cain sort of blew that one out right off the bat.

Things don’t just evolve around everything. Extinctions are common.

My question is, if the earth was substantially already formed when the supernova went, where is the remnant of that supernova today? They don’t go up in a puff of smoke.

Now, that’s profound.

Earth just happened to be in close proximity to the right kind of supernova, making it unusually lucky.

Yeah. Luck had nothing to do with it...

The people who analyze the facts rather than only use their feelings.

Whatever that means ...

Maybe if I typed slower you would understand.

No slower or faster would not help much, however coherent sentence might.

There’s good reason to be a carbon chauvinist.

We keep telling ourselves that we are a mature social order when in fact we are merely self delusional infants.

“Phosphorus is the 11th most common element on Earth, and it is fundamental to all living things.”

We only know of exactly one example of life existing so far and it invariably needs phosphorus, so therefore any other hypothetical life will need phosphorus? Seems like the premise is coming from an example of one.

“Phosphorus is one of only six chemical elements on our planet ...”

“Chemical element”?

As opposed to a non-chemical element?

On the other hand - if one believes in evolution, why would a presence of phosphorous be one of the keys? Things would just evolve differently without it.

...

I have a feeling your definition of evolution doesn’t match the definition of evolution.


Definition of evolution is fine.

Understanding of chemistry is the problem.

Yup, true. There is no such thing as luck anywhere in the universe, not even in Vegas, since God set it all in motion. Probably why we thank God, not luck, when we win there.

Not criticizing you, TB, but agreeing 100%. What else is a Christian to do? Thanks for the reminder.

I’d wager the supernova went off before the earth even formed
in a so-called stellar nursery, where the shock wave of the explosion initiated the collapse not only of our own solar system, but probably many others. The black hole, if one formed, is still around, but has orbited the galaxy 20 times by now and could be anywhere and have merged with others. Its nebula would have disappated long ago. In other words, evidence would be very hard to identify now; we’re talking about events that happened 4.5 billion years ago.
