I guess you have no resaon to fear the Bibliography Nazi, as long as you wrote thet yourself.



And what makes you think he didn't?

See the issue?



SEEEEEE! I told you Bill!


It was pretty obvious, if you recognise his posting habits and style.

Her's one - instead of berating him, (oh wait you didn't do that to your buddy Bill, did you?), you could simply ask him if that was his or if he copied and pasted it.

Besides,
There was not NEARLY as many sarcastic put-downs and veiled PA's as he would usually post in something that long.:ph34r::):)

Or . . . because I actually pay attention to a person's writing style and in particular can recognize what is and isn't characteristic of bill's . . . I don't have to.

See that's what trips most people up when they rip off material that doesn't belong to them and post it as if it is; the overall style.

You, my dear friend on a half shell, RARELY write more than a few words per sentence and more than a few lines per post. Generally speaking, you're looking to get in a quick jab and on to another post to do the same. It is freakishly unlikely for you to write an even marginally well thought out 500 word essay on a topic.

On the other hand . . . billvon? Yeah, he'll do that and do it well. It's not out of his character.

You, my little mock turtle soup, are all too easy to spot.

...common sense certainly does not prevail. Majority rules...



"Common sense" is just anything you think, and have maybe found a few people to agree with you about, that you wish everyone else thought too.

If that weren't the case, the rule of the majority would coincide with common sense prevailing.

You seem to be assuming that it is most definate that only earth has life 'or' earth was the first to habour life 'or' life on earth was 100% fomed and created on earth.



No, I'm not. I'm just using it to point out how absurd it is to equate the origin of the universe with the origin of life. In terms of this planet, you're saying the origin of life occured 10 billion years before there was any life. That's daft.

Quote

Our atmosphere is constanly being bombarded with 'substance' from other realms of our universe.



So what?

Quote

Who are you to say the origin of life on earth did not exist for aeons elsewhere?



I'm not.

But if you are saying that there was life immediately after the big bang, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Quote

Or are you so sure that Earth is the only object that harbours life?



Once again... No. I fact I am absolutely positive that there are other inhabited planets in the universe.

Quote

You seem to be fixated on what you know while completely dismissing what you don't.



And you're just spouting vague wishy-washy nonsense that uses life and existance as interchangeable terms.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Do you beleive that human beings were created before all other flora and fauna by the hands of god?



Don't be stupid.



This is what christians beleive.



some christians have no problem with adapting the theory of evolution into christian faith !



'Adapting' evolution to fit your faith is just as bad as dismissing it.

Your simple mistake is to assume/imply that life was created on earth, I am not talking about the origin of 'life on earth', I am talking about the origin of life, Period.

Quote

So what? So There is a distinct possibility that the origin of life on earth came from elsewhere than earth.

Just like the water in our oceans.

Quote

I'm not.

The big bang 'may' have been an inversion of something else, it is possible that life existed before the big bang, that is if the big bang theory is actually correct.

It is all just theory, exept you treat is as fact. and this takes me back to the assertion that athiests are as arrogant as the 'faithful' as they assume that what they believe is actually what happened.

Quote

Once again... No. I fact I am absolutely positive that there are other inhabited planets in the universe.



O.k. now we are talking, so what is to say that the earth was not formed after life existed elsewhere, and somehow or another through and event such as a supernova, that life has be delivered to earth via a particle of ice etc etc. ?

If you can beleive that life exists elsewhere, then why should that life have been created at the same time or after as life on earth? time scales are infinate.

I understand our earth would have taken millions of tears to be ready to harbour life, but there may have been planets or moons etc, that have done so or did so for aeons earlier.

do you get where I am coing from now?

Quote

And you're just spouting vague wishy-washy nonsense that uses life and existance as interchangeable terms.



No you are confusing Life on earth, to life in general.

My argument is that there was probably life elsewhere before there was on earth.

When we talk about the origin of 'life', we have to consider what we do not know. 'Life on earth' does not necessarily represent 'life in general'.

I hope you can understand that.

It is by far the most likely scenario, for our life, anyway. And unless exobiogenesis happened on earth the origin of life somewhere else has absolutely nothing to do with the origin of life here.

'Substance' hitting earth from outer space does not equal viable life from outer space hitting earth. We've not yet found anything in meteorites that we can say is definitely life, so lets not jump the gun.

(And what do you mean, just like water? Water came from somewhere else after the earth was formed?)

So what? The origin of that hypothetical life is still a seperate event that happened a long, long time after the creation of the universe. The creation of the universe is not the creation of life.

No, you are confusing life with everything.

Life is life, how is life elsewhere not life.

when we talk about the origin of life, we have to consider what we do not know.

Something you seem to be having difficulty understanding, i surprises me that you are so certain that life exists elsewhere but you think the origin of life is only pertinant to life on earth.

bizzare.

So because nothing has been found in the last couple of hundred years on objects that have arrived from other realms of the universe, means that tere is not any possiblity that it has done so in the last hundred million or more?

:D

You continue to ignore that things you do not know, exist, or existed...

Quote

yeah, Space is full of ice and our atmosphere is constantly being bombarded with it.


Quote

Again, that has nothing to do with the origin of our life.



when you say our life, it that as opposed to other life?

Quote

you say that as you are so certain, there is no point in arguing with someone that assumes they know everything there is to know.

Quote

no, you are assuming life = life on earth.

I got 13/15. Grew up Christian, became an atheist as an adult..



meh, :S got 15/15 ... and could have answered most of those questions when I was 15.

I got 15/15 and I've been an atheist since I was old enough to think for myself.

proving my point these were 'softball' questions. ;)

The origin of our life. Anything else is irrelevant and pure conjecture. Life several billion years ago on a planet in a different galaxy has nothing to do with the origin of life on this planet, that led directly to us.

Quote

Life is life, how is life elsewhere not life.



Life elsewhere is not life here. The origin of life elsewhere has nothing to do with the origin of life here. They are seperate events.

Look; there is no Force. There is no eternal cosmic energy field called Life that drifts about imbuing proto-cells with the proporty of Being Alive. That doesn't happen, chemistry happens. Each time life arises on a different planet it's a completely seperate event, unconnected to whatever has gone before somewehere else.

Did I say that? No. Not no possibility, just one that I'm not going to take seriously without supporting evidence.

Quote

Yes. Now you're getting it.

Quote

Yes, I am certain. Unless you're talking about something supernatural (which also certainly doesn't exist) there was no life created by the big bang.

No, that is you just being unable to articulate your thoughts.

I believe yu should refresh your memory on the meaning of illiterate. You seem to have gotten it wrong . . . again.[:/]

Read the thread. My thoughts are perfectly clear. You would have to be a moron to think I meant what you said I meant.



Touched a nerve evidently. Have you had your coffee yet this morning?

Do you agree or disagree that the Big Bang precluded life?

My point is simple, without the big bang in your theory, life could not exist. So in essence - the Big Bang is what created life. It's called an alternate point of view, you should try that sometime.

Now, if you could reel in your emotions a bit and lay off the twat calling, you might be able to stay here and debate, other than that - you will probably be given a vacation.

Ask phree - he pretty much warned the whole forum this morning. Your choice.

I'll say it again, life did not originate 10 billion years before there was any life. If someone asks you where something you own comes from, you do not say "The Big Bang", even though the matter and energy that forms that item once came from it.

All you will be doing is giving your opinion again.

You have no proof.

It is my argument that energy in and of it's self is life.

Do you agree with the string theory?
