You keep repeating this, and it continues to make no sense. How many planets have we been able to study extensively? How much direct interaction has man had with anything outside even our own solar system?
Let me rephrase your point so you can, perhaps, see how ridiculous it is :
'The things needed to form life would have been scattered throughout the universe by the big bang. Now, this is believed to have happened billions of years ago, which means it's possible life could have sprung up and been wiped out on planets long before humanity came to be. Further, it is thought that there are 200 billion or more stars in the Milky Way galaxy. There are also estimates that 1 of every 200 stars has a planet in the so-called Goldilocks zone, the distance from the star which would be neither too hot nor too cold to sustain life as we know it. There may be hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe, many of which could have the same ratios of stars and planets our own does. We can only see the smallest fragment of the universe so far and we have not had direct interaction with any planets outside our solar system. Despite all of this, I have concluded that our not finding any other life is proof that both the big bang theory and abiogenesis are wrong.'
Let me try an analogy. You go to the beach and pick up a shell. Inside the shell is a crab. You then proceed to pick up all the shells within reach. You find no other crabs. There is five miles of beach in either direction, but you decide that since no other shell within reach had a crab in it, no other shell on the entire beach can have a crab.
Actually, it would be more along the lines of you concluding that no other shell on the planet can contain a crab, or ever has contained a crab.
If god created the universe and created life on this planet, why couldn't he have done so on other worlds? Why would he create such a vast universe but only put life on this one miniscule part of it?
Stop underestimating the vastness of the universe or overestimating mankind's ability to observe it.
Is there life out there yes or no ?
And there should have been life scattered throughout the universe why is it just on this little planet ?
What you just said was nothing but speculation nothing to prove anything you said.
Let me tell you why there is no life out there .no other planet is setup to sustain life like this one .The creator chose this one for a reason.
*sigh*
I have no idea if there is other life; that's the whole point. We have only seen a tiny, tiny, TINY portion of the universe. Even if life was scattered throughout the universe, because we can see so little of it, there could be life on billions of planets and we would have no way of knowing.
I wasn't attempting to prove there is life. I was trying to show you that assuming we would have seen life on other planets is foolish and completely ignores how limited our knowledge and observational capacity is.
How do you know no other planet is set up to sustain life? Does the bible tell you this? Aren't you both assuming you know the mind of god and putting extreme limits on his power to say that god did not put life elsewhere? First, if god created it all, could he not have created other planets like earth? Second, being all powerful, could he not create a form of life that would survive on planets that the life we know could not survive on?
If there is a god that created everything, I see no reason to assume that being only created life on this one planet of the possibly trillions or more planets in the universe. It strikes me as arrogant to think that way, actually; humanity is so important that god created this almost inconceivably vast universe to put humans on this one tiny planet.
I am quite curious to see the scriptures that show god did not create life elsewhere as well as the scriptures that show no other planet could sustain life.
We have to go by the evidence we have to make predictions there is no evidence to suggest there is a planet that could sustain life and or that there is life out there.
You have to have evidence to make predictions. If you make predictions without evidence by nature you will rush to conclusions to support your predictions on evidence uncovered. In other words you spin the evidence to fit your faulty presuppositions. That is not science being so reckless.
