Evolution also says we got here via copying errors.
We're supposedly mutants made in the likeness and image of God.
Doesn't sound like God to me, either.
Sounds just like the Christian god at least. Makes a man, and the man sins. OOPS! Destroys all but eight people. They start to sinning again right off. OOPS! Sends his son/himself down to save them. They keep right on sinning. OOPS!
Maybe we are made in the likeness of God and God keeps changing.

I know "OOPS!" isn't in God's vocabulary. He has modeled himself on you, after all. He can never admit a mistake.

Intersting conversation going on here. I really don't know what to believe about their being (any) life on other planets. But the thing that really gets me is what if we DID know one way or another? How would life here change if it was somehow conclusively proven that there was NO life anyplace else in the universe? Or vise versa, what if we knew there was life all over the universe?
I think proof that we're the only example of life in the entire universe would have massive repercussions, not least because it would be pretty good evidence for the existence of God.

Out of your last 500 posts, only 3 of them weren't numbers.
That's less than 1%.
It's not unreasonable to assume that it's been roughly the same for the whole time you've been here. Especially when someone posted that graph depicting just how much time you did spend posting numbers, in order to get your post count up.
1% of 900,000 is 9,000. If your last 500 posts are anything to go by, that leaves about 891,000 of your posts as pointless number spam.

Pretty good evidence for the existence of God = massive repercussions?

The 800,000 was being generous, apparently.
Even 9000 posts is far too many to claim I've never admitted a mistake.
