+3obviously, as there are specific conditions for life to exist. it is impossible for there, in the infinite area that is space, not to be galaxies overloaded with planets that meet these conditions. what One should be asking is 'is there INTELLIGENT life outside earth?' then, of course, the answer would inevitably be 'If there is, its not here on earth.'
Life on earth exists in the north pole, in acidic lakes that would kill life AS WE KNOW IT, in the driest desserts, and at the bottom of the ocean where no sunlight reaches and the only source of energy is boiling geysers. So life doesn't even seem to be that rare.
Most of those little dots have planets and this is only one galaxy.
its what everyone does when theres no one else around... come on admit it
If God created carbon life in other parts of the Universe, it would be way too far to travel here, but it's possible.
what is out there , saran wrap enclose the outer limits ???
The Universe had an absolute physical beginning and is inflating. It is very finite in size. Time, space and matter did not always exist - nor would they exist transcendent to the metaphysical dimension that gave Time, space and matter existence. We can safely assume that the closed system Universe expands into the same non-spacial dimension that gave it existence.
This is the Prime existence - God.
At least you are thinking. I agree that a non-spacial dimension is hard to get our heads around.
as to fully confirmed science ,,, I think not,
fully confirmed theory ,,, yes...
there is no end to the outer space..
as to some prime existence,, that is a theory held by some ,,
Prime existence is rationally necessary. Nothing cannot cause something, yet something exists. Therefore something self-exists without beginning, We know the Universe is not self-existent. The Universe began to exist, therefore is not self-existent and is expanding.
Logic matters. Truth Matters.
there are millions that have confirmed that god , in 6 days , created everything.
so , this confirmed stuff is only a theory that is how I view it..
you may have more "clues ' than I, good for you....
Big Bang confirmations are a wonderful gift to those of us who believe in God. I'm astounded that so few Christians recognize what Big Bang means and implies - an absolute physical beginning from physical nothing. Yet something caused it - and finely tuned it for life. The Materialists must be laughing that so many Christians don't recognize that Big Bang is on our side.
and before the BBT there was an other theory that every one insisted was "confirmed science "
and as to your wonder gift ... you got that going for you,, and just how did that get confirmed again ??
not to jam on your beliefs , but that is all it is your beliefs,
My belief in the Universe beginning and a causal agency is behind are confirmed in science, evidence and logic. They also happen to fit perfectly with the Theistic position and absolutely undermine the Materialist/ Atheist position.
Your position is just a denial of science - and is a belief based on what?
only thing is , I put mine into the belief / theory section of fiction, and you put your same belief in the non fiction section..
the big bang is very popular,
so is the 6 day god create theory.
then there are those that are sorta inbetween and go with a combination of a 6 day big bang.. hmmm , reminds me of college..
Anyway, I happen to have spent way too much time thinking about this stuff and talking with my dad (a retired physicist), about what it all means, so I feel this need to impose myself when this topic comes up ; )
may be I am just a little too much of a skeptic on this, I have seen/heard/ read all to often " proven science " when it is just a bunch of people's opinion ..
from nothing, an explosion produced everything , and this everything is expanding but there is a finite distance this nothing that is now something can expand to ??
or... there are a lot of " theory" , of which that is one, and an other one a god created every thing from nothing in 6 days ,,
but if this god did in fact make every thing in 6 days , how was there a "day" before the sun and earth revolving around said sun to make the 24 hour day ???
in my simple mind, there are several theory ( small t ) and there will be more opinions untill the end of man... IMO.. :)
I agree 100%. Plus the fact that we are still in the 'seventh day' (it never ended) should make it clear that 'day' is a metaphor for a period of time.
"from nothing, an explosion produced everything , and this everything is expanding but there is a finite distance this nothing that is now something can expand to ??"
Really, it's not a literal 'NOTHING', it's physical Nothing. A causal agency is still required, but that causal agency cannot itself be part of the contingent effect (physical). PHYSICAL science stops at the singularity boundary where physics itself begins to exist. This is where metaphysics, philosophy (logic and reason) and religion can go.
Again, it is difficult to conceptualize an actual physical end of the Universe or understand the nature of a non-physical dimension / agency that gives existence to our Universe. We simply have no frame of reference, experience with or language that represents any such thing. We only know that it necessarily exists as a rational necessity required to explain the known effect. This is the way we know atoms and sub-atomic particles exist. We can't see them, bu...

It seems likely that whatever exists 'beyond' the outer physical boundary is the same dimension that exists causally antecedent to the singularity (beginning) boundary. I use the word 'beyond' loosely. I do not know a word that describes the non-spacial relationship similar to 'beyond' or 'exterior to' physics, but without the implied physical space or time that would not exist. Perhaps 'transcendent to' the physical boundary would be more appropriate? Anyway, I bet you get the picture.
