The big question about life on other planets: 1000000000000000000000 planets in the universe

[Fort Fun Indiana]

But what if we are the only life in the universe?

Then we can claim to own all of it.

 

[progressive hunter]

That's because ffi is a troll. Too many people have little understanding of how science works.

Science is not concerned with truth. That is the realm of religion. Science is only concerned with what we can observe and measure.

Trolling, eh? Then ask the sock what would convince him that evolution is a fact. See for yourself. I will wait for your apology.

Because evolution is not a "fact" either. It too is a theory.

It's as close to a fact as there is in science. You don't get to assume magic happened because biologists don't have a video of evolution occurring.

but evolution assumes magic when it claims all life came from a rock and 2 fully formed humans walked out of the soup ready to reproduce

Evolution says no such thing whatsoever. It is not part of evolutionary theory.

This is one of the problems when discussing evolution, so few seem to even know what it means.

you clearly have no complete idea of what evolution teachs,,,the primordial soup is what evo teach's as the origins of life which is basically rock soup

what is it you think is the origins of life as per human evolution or any life

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

False. Rocks are not made of amino acids. Everything you are babbling is wrong. Of course, you know that.

Because evolution is not a "fact" either. It too is a theory.

No, evolution is a fact, as much as anything can be a fact. The theory of evolution, which attempts to explain how it produced the diversity of species from a common ancestor, is a scientific theory.

Similarly, star formation is a fact. The theory of star formation attempts to explain it.

Same for abiogenesis. Same for global warming. Same for gravity.

No, it is not. It is a theory, and that is all it is. It has evidentiary support, but it is far from being a fact.

That is somewhat misleading though. In common parlance it is basically a fact. In science, there really are no facts, just theories. Gravity is a theory. The way most people think of it - 2 bodies attracting each other is even incorrect.

A theory in science is something that is VERY strongly supported by measurements and data. Saying a theory is not a fact really has no meaning.

False. Rocks are not made of amino acids. Everything you are babbling is wrong. For fuck's sake, learn something from these discussions.

I never said they were,,,try keeping up

Evolution doesn't teach anything about the "primordial soup." Making up denigrating nicknames for it isn't an argument against it, either.

Here's the bottom line: At one point the Earth had no life, and now it does. That means life arose from non-life. There's no way to get around that fact.

"Only a theory" is a talking point for religious dogmatists who find their dogma at odds with empirical evidence and knowledge. And that's all.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

At one point the Earth had no life, and now it does.

Exactly. Just as there was once no volcano where Hawaii is located, then there was. Where are all the religious people jumping in to claim the volcano was formed by magic? Well, their religious dogma doesn't say anything about volcano formation. It's all very simple and easy to see.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I know that with each successive lifeless world atheist scientists discover, it bothers them there is no other life but us.

This is not rational. No rational person would observe even 1 billion planets, not find life, and then think it speaks at all to the possibility of life on the countless other planets in the universe.

By the way, we have only really surveyed one planet to any satisfactory degree. And that planet has life.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

If it is that number, that is 1 sextillion planets. It must have taken a long time to count them all.

no it doesnt mean that,,,you think that,,


pri·mor·di·al soup
noun

1. a solution rich in organic compounds in the primitive oceans of the earth, from which life is hypothesized to have originated.

you can google for more info so that you may educate yourself

Nope, it only took a few years of observing other stars and the frequency with which they have planets.

You're the one who called it "rock soup," not me.

What's your point?

Abiogenesis is NOT evolutionary theory nor does it have anything to do with evolutionary theory. Evolution ONLY covers what happens AFTER DNA becomes a reality and may possibly work with RNA. Before that point is not in the realm of evolution.

How does Superman shave? Wouldn't he have Super Stubble?

i seen people ask that about vampires,how do they shave if they cant see their reflection...

Their hair doesnt grow.

depends on who the author of the book is.....

Abiogenesis - RationalWiki
"Often brought up in the origins debate is how evolution does not explain the origin of life. Let's get something abundantly clear: abiogenesis and evolution are two completely different things. The theory of evolution says absolutely nothing about the origin of life. It merely describes the processes that take place once life has started."

Definition of evolution | Dictionary.com
Biology. change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.

Evolution REQUIRES replication otherwise the core of the theory, natural selection, cannot take place. It is, by definition, silent on how the original replicator came into existence. That is abiogenesis and that is NOT a scientific theory. Abiogenesis is a scientific hypothesis. It describes a process that may have happened BUT it lacks the proof to make it a theory.

 

[westwall]

It's not an attack. It's a statement of fact. If you perceve it as an attack, that only indicates that part of you is embarrassed of your dogmatic ways. A person of strong faith would be proud of the fact i stated. So maybe your faith is tenuous.

why is it you only respond with personal attacks and never with rational debate??

its almost like youre a common troll,,,

Facts are used to support theories. Non scientific people don't understand that. There are many observations that have been made and those observations reveal facts. Most facts support the theory of evolution. However, some facts don't . That has led to updates in the evolutionary theory such as punctuated equilibrium etc.
