Well, I think that Darwin and all of his successors were mostly christian. Beside, to not believe in evolution is like not believing the earth is round.
| quote: | | birth control was not invented yet |
What about sheep bladder and similar old fashion condoms?
Like they're not now...
| quote: | | If someone get's brain damage, then that's unfortunate but they still have the ability to act and think. |
Depends on amount of brain damage, but often they lose those abilities as well. Besides, if we think with our brain, it is logical that we think differently depending on the state of our brain, and if it is damaged, that we may not think at all. To say otherwise would be to say that we don't think with our brain and therefore use it for nothing.
| quote: | | that makes me feel better |
Again, that is not a reason for it to exist. I agree that christians may be more at peace with their life and destiny, but that doesn't change the reality.
| quote: | | i heard of these things called out of body experiances... |
There is a perfectly good scientific explanation for it and that is that when a body is near death, the brain is out of oxygen, so it starts hallucinating. Same can be achieved with LSD and other psychoactive drugs.
| quote: | | What are the chances that every chemical balance and molecular structure etc of things is just so, that what we have here is a world. A world that is set so perfectly that it can sustain life, with just the right amount of atomospheric gases that we breath, with a continuous supply of water, and just the right temperatures that keeps us from dying. |
Out of all the worlds in the universe, it is quite possible that at least one, although probably many, have environment suitable for life of the type as we know it. And air isn't required for life as much as I know. For all we know if the earth atmosphere were carbon dioxide, we might have evolved differently so that we would breathe that instead of oxygen. Trees do.
| quote: | | And what's the chance that some 8 billion people live here, each with their own individual genetic structure, each with a unique appearence. ANd that we have such sophisticated brains that we can develop such things as microprocessors, and computers like we're using now. Can you even fathom the workings of a computer? And humans created it. |
It's 6 billion. Individual genetic structure varies very little between humans, and it is not such a weird thing, look at all the animals with all their different DNAs. Considering number of molecules in a DNA sequence, the number of permutations is practically infinite. All evolution strives towards smarter individuals with larger brains. They usually manage to survive better.
And what's your point with computers? No individual created a current computer, it is a process where each new individual slightly improves the situation he found. Like evolution, in a way.
