Hmmm. I don't think many questions have been answered or we wouldn't still be looking for answers..
I respectfully suggest you have not reflected properly on my remarks. The universe is a vastly complex place. We have learned a great deal about it, but we have so much more to learn - that is why there are still questions and why there will be questions for many millenia to come. To think otherwise you would have to ignore what we have already learned about the universe, disregard the complexity, fail to be inspired by those seeking to answer those questions and overlook the answers that have already been found.
My questions would be to understand how a fish could become a mammal.
That has been answered.
How a one cell organism could become a human being.
And yet, presumably, you have no difficulty in accepting that a one celled organism can become a human being in nine months? (And the larger, evolutionary question you ask has also been answered.)
Why we have a conscience and rational thought and an interest in finding a God....how could we think up something that does not exist?
We have a conscience because a sapient, sentient social species that lacked a conscience would not long survive. A conscience is essential to ensure a measure of altruistic behaviour is present.
Rational thought is rather uncommon in humans. The scientific method creates a set of railroad tracks that force thought along rational lines.
I am bemused that you would ask "how could we think up something that doesn't exist?" I presume you must believe that the Star Wars films are documentaries!
That is one of the really great unanswered questions. If I were closer to the beginning of my life than its end, then I might have a chance of seeing it answered.
Behaviour of a brain in shut-down mode.
Who knows if the questions in paragraph two could ever be answered.
They have been and if you had chosen a single question to focus on, as I asked, rather than a somewhat discourteous Gish Gallop, I would have attempted to give you a fuller answer. Is that the question you want to focus on? Fish to mammal?
If there could be concrete proof of how the universe was started...and that it came from absolutely nothing....Christianity would be in trouble,,,IMO.
I don't understand why you think this is important, but for the record scientists do not believe the universe came from absolutely nothing.
No solid proof of evolution.
Science
never proves anything. Science either provides an explanation for observations that are superior to any other available explanation, or
disproves candidate explanations.
GodsGrace, I recognise that you might interpret my direct style as belligerent. It is not so intended. What I note in most of your observations is an extensive ignorance of scientific findings and the scientific method. There is nothing wrong with ignorance as such, given that we are all ignorant of very much more than we are knowledgeable of. However, I suggest it is foolish to express opinions about something one is ignorant about, especially when a wealth of knowledge on that topic exists. You have listed several questions you think are unanswered. They have been answered. The answers are available to you, but it will require effort on your part to acquire them. Are you ready to put in that effort, or do you wish to remain ignorant?
