There is currently no way of detecting life on other planets. Furthermore, the absence of evidence is generally not evidence of absence.
So, still baseless.

My assertion is based on the fact that there is no evidence of life in the universe other than here on earth. The odds of life out there is not evidence of life out there.

Most back pain is caused by fatigue or injury, not bad design. It is also a common side effect of many medications. Also most back pain is muscle related, not spinal. Being overweight, sedentary, and stressed out doesn't help either.
Worse yet doctors are unable to recommend proper rest for low back pain. Because it often gets worse after a day in bed they don't recommend bed rest as a remedy. However because persistent back ache is often the result of long term accumulated fatigue and/or mental/emotional stress complete rest is the remedy most needed as the entire body and mind are involved, not just the back. In this sense the back is the canary in the coal mine.
Blaming design for these problems is like getting drunk and driving into a tree then blaming the design of the car for the crash.

But the crashes that I'm talking about happen to responsible drivers, who've taken good care of their vehicles because the brake pads don't last as long as the rest of the car.

I like it. Don't let that swinging door hit you.
Like what? Making baseless assertions?
I like the statement that "absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence".
Ok, but you have to use the qualifer too.
My point was as it stands today there is no evidence of ET life.
We walk like God.What do mean by "ideal?"
The human mind is a much bigger drawback than the human spine.For the record, there is a drawback to having a spine suited for bipedalism.
From an evolutionary viewpoint, it's easy to understand.
I had to trawl through pages of posts to find the source of your discussion with VirOptimus. Let's analyses your statements a little more closely.The natural state of the universe is the absence of life, therefore biological life on earth is supernatural, therefore ..................
Your link gives the impression that most low back pain is caused by spinal issues, which is false. "To a hammer, every problem is a nail."

That's one reason we share His image.

Evolution sucks in developing the human mind:
You are in no position to confirm or deny what the patriarchs experienced.Which 'flood epoch' was this, and where is the evidence for it?
Walt Brown suggested that the explosive power or water from the inner earth in fountains of the deep would have more than sufficient ability to have left the earth area. He was using normal physics also, and it is likely that it was actually a different nature at the time. Then, we should look at the possibility that the great wind at the last stage of the flood, (once again all in that former nature) may have taken some water (therefore possibly organic matter) was taken away from earth. In case you are not aware, the flood water did come from above in the sky, and likely was from beyond the universe universe. (carried here by portals in space opening up called windows of heaven)How would having a flood cause 'stuff' to end up elsewhere in the solar system?
Yes. They do, but they don't know it.No that is wrong.
Science doesnt deal with god(s) at all.
I know this is off topic but back in the late 60s women used to wear men’s jeans. I used to get the 27 in waist with the 34 in inseam .they used to just skim my ankles Now this is something I could never figure out . Why guys who were taller than I was wore shorter inseams . If you’re the average guy you’re about 5ft 8 min . Im shorter than that at 5 ft 5 1/2 inches.Scientific 'facts' are a pretty small part of mankind's overall beliefs. There are much bigger questions, such as if I am an average size man why can't I buy average size clothing? I am 1/4 inch taller than average but cannot buy pants that fit. My inseam size, 31 inches, is not available in most casual pants sizes. I would like to see the 'science' that went into the decision to eliminate the 'average' inseam length from casual and work pants, leaving us average guys with pants that are too short or too long.Don't even get me started on shirts.

The article addresses disc disease as a cause of chronic back pain. Which is true. It is either the primary cause, or a major contributing factor.
But getting back on topic, my original post was in response to the assertion that the human skeleton was ideally designed for bipedal posture. My point is that it wasn't designed, it evolved. And it evolved for an organism with a life span of 30-40 years. It works fine in that context. But it's not ideal when life spans are double that or more. I would think that an omniscient designer would have realized that would occur and made our vertebral columns more durable.
But FSM doesn't touch our hearts and care about us. This is why I am tired of these debates. The evidence only means anything by faith. Of course going around finding questions science hasn't answered and saying, "See? That shows there is a God" will probably be overtaken by our scientific knowledge in the near future. This isn't proof that there is a God. We could know everything but the main point of life is love, not knowledge.And, as I was writing, yet another 'god of the gaps' argument, just to prove my point! You might as well credit it all to the flying spaghetti monster. There is as much evidence of that as there is of any god(s).
