I enjoy a little Coffee with my Cream and Sugar.

Helps me launch some Meteorites in the morning.

“Wonder what the mathematical probabilities of that are?”

Well, since we’re here, I’d say 100% probability.

Flawed logic. You can only arrive at that conclusion if you have already decided there is only one possible explanation for the origin of life.

Assuming, of course, that we are here thanks to sugar- coated meteorites

‘Math one of your strong suits?’

so glad to see you don’t wish to insult one’s intelligence...

‘life, with its right-from-the start ability to survive, subsist and reproduce is a bit of a stretch, don’t ya think?’

of course it’s a stretch, as is any supposition regarding the origin of viability, including the notion that 4,000 or so invisible, unknowable entities poofed it into existence, as has been posited throughout history...

‘So the Dinosaurs drowned?’

sadly, the reality must be so, as did all the other offensive beings; animals aside from the lucky pairs, and all the people from other relgions, all the children, and the population of pregnant females that must have existed, and their unborn babies in toto...

Allrighty then.

Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,
3
and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
4
Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”
5
And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.

So not a single dinosaur survived? Did they die on the Ark? Did they die afterwards? How big again was the ark? How big are brontosaurs? Oh dang, there would have had to be at least 2 argentinosaurs too. Dang it... there are more. giganotosaurs, titanosaurs, brachiosours, sauroposidesaurs, seismosaurs, dreadnaughtisaurs and there were more. How did they fit even assuming they were unclean? Must have been terribly terribly terribly tight.

Awaiting your explanation with bated breath.

And the LORD said to Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for you have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2Of every clean beast you shall take to you by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth. 4For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. 5And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.

Dang again.... add 14 elephants and 14 rinos and 14 giraffes and 14 hippos and make sure the big dinos didn’t step on them and squish them.

Also, what about plants? Did God not make them? “every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth”

Again. awaiting with bated breath.

I won’t even go into some of the other stuff cause this should keep you busy for a while.

What happened chief? You lose your yen to crap all over the thread because “explainin” is hard because it takes intellectual rationality and consistency?

Thanks fieldmarshaldj. In a related story, Sweet 'n' Low was discovered in other meteorites, giving clues to the origin of artificial life. Exobiology/panspermia ping.

Ah, so you're from the "Obnoxiously Atheist Platoon" of the Irish Brigade, hmm?

I can also guess from your flip answer that you are not and have never been a Mechanical Engineer - or Program Manager - which would have enabled you to understand that nothing that actually works ever occurs by accident.

Further, since nature by design continually wears down, oxidizes, dissolves, spreads out, ages, and fades - nothing improves itself without specific and accurate intent.

If you believe otherwise, you are more suited to more fanciful occupations. Ballet, perhaps?

Only took one "unknowable Creator" - not 4,000.

So it IS possible to make real moonshine if you have sugar in space rocks.
