There hasn't been enough time for natural selection to create the variety of life we see on the planet.



We don't live in a vacuum, ... we live on Earth, which seems to be rather perfectly designed for our survival and development.
if you look at water in a pothole, if you didn't know better, you would think that the hole was perfectly formed to fit the water, but its not the case, the water fits in the pothole, same thing applies to life, it seems that its formed to fit us but were more formed to fit our environment

And yet we have the brains to make it to the moon and back, and possibly much further.
Having such desires makes zero evolutionary sense either, do extremely intelligent dolphin dream of oceans on another goldilocks planet ha?

Do you think technology is a race/battle between good & bad technology? I wonder if we can make it to Mars before we kill ourselves first messing with biological warfare for instance. I like to also wonder if we’ve done this before on Earth...as we become so advanced we unfortunately ruin it every time with the evil side of technology.

Scientists may make peer-reviewed statements about atoms. Their statements about God are not peer-reviewed. There is no "scientific consensus" about God (although the majority vote among scientists says that there is one).

And, by the way, I am a scientist.
but as you know, a non believer has no reason to argue for or against god until the burden of proof is met by the person making the claim. there is nothing to peer review if nobody can claim to have absolute evident TOO per review

Based upon the fact that the human body is extremely complex it only makes sense that there is an intelligent designer.
It can also make sense it came to that because of repeated trail and error by its ancestors

The real danger to space exploration is that we lock ourselves from space by throwing so much junk into space that it destroys anything we send up there.

And no, I don't think we had spacefaring technology before, or any other species before us. But maybe another species after us might prosper by learning from our errors.

And different species could be a sort of Functionalism, where to be homo sapien doesn’t make someone human, but to be an enlightened species does.

I guess we'll find out when the first enlightened species appears.

Please explain what you mean. I believe that we were created in God’s image.
Ok humans could have been made because animals needed to adapt to the planet to survive and humans are one of the byproducts of this need to survive

Is anyone else beginning to suspect that this guy is a troll trying to make atheists look bad?

Yeah, he overplayed his hand with Moses and the Ark.
