[E. Pluribus Unum]

Do you realize how miraculous matter itself is?

Everything from the tiniest subatomic particle to a strand of DNA was inricately designed to make life possible.

Look how a single cell grows into an elephant or hummingbird. The instructions for the entire sequence of ontogeny are built right into the matter that composes that single cell.

God designed and created that matter. The entire universe is alive in ways we can never comprehend.

And you don’t believe that same miraculous matter can’t generate life under the right set of circumstances?

What a stunted imagination you must have.

[Moonman62]

No doubt there have been, are, and will be billions and billions of planets with intelligent life separated by billions and billions of miles and billions and billions of light years.

...

You can’t know that unless you know the probability of intelligent life.

Last I tried that was with an atheist at Thanksgiving. He just talked over me and said some derogatory things. But he knows all. Doubt I'll be invited back as being thankful for our very existence is out of the realm of possibility.
