Doesn’t have much evidence on which to base the conclusion that earth is the only place in the universe where life exists. lt is creation theology that makes me reject most religions.
The wag I see it, hydrogen is hydrogen everywhere in the universe. Oxygen is oxygen everywhere in the universe. Carbon is carbon everywhere in the universe. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon will interact in the same way everywhere in the universe.
By extension, if you can have water, carbon dioxide, or methane it isn’t much of a stretch to get to DNA.
“Doesn’t have much evidence on which to base the conclusion that earth is the only place in the universe where life exists.”
Rather odd logic.
I agree no conclusion can be made, either way.
But the fact Is there is 100% evidence for life here and so far zero for life anywhere else.
It would seem from a logical or scientific perspective, the onus of proof is on those who would claim there is life elsewhere, not on disproving a purely speculative claim of life elsewhere.
This is my problem with atheistic creation ‘theology’. We know DNA has the following:
1. Functional InformationHow could such a system form randomly without any intelligence, and totally unguided?
2. Encoder
3. Error Correction
4. Decoder
What would come first - the encoder, error correction, or the decoder? How and where did the functional information originate?
Furthermore, DNA contains multi-layered information that reads both forward and backwards - DNA stores data more efficiently than anything we've created - and a majority of DNA contains metainformation (information about how to use the information in the context of the related data). The design inference is obvious.
Doesn’t have much evidence on which to base the conclusion that earth is the only place in the universe where life exists.
If you would like to see evidence, watch "The Privileged Planet", then get back to us.
