Sugarbear- A few points before you talk about my grammar I suggest you learn how to use spell check. But let's move on. If you don't think sex is in the bible or women are God's gift to man I suggest you read the Song of Solomon. In regards to the Scrabble example. Of course it doesn't make sense to you because it doesn't fit into your myopic view of the reality of all that is. So I wouldn't expect to say anything else. You atheists-agnostics are all the same. The minute someone challenges your cowardly point of view you resort to personal attacks, talking about "sky daddys" and the whole same tired lines that you guys use. Let's get another point across there is a difference between being "religious" and being "spiritual". I am a Christian no doubt but I'm not confined by some man made religious dogma. If you would take the time to read the bible and understand the words of Jesus. He wasn't about religion. He was about a direct relationship with God. Your unending need and requests on for evidence and proof is truly amazing. If you don't believe that God exists why do you waste your time trying to convince people that do believe that somehow they're stupid. If I don't believe in something I wouldn't care what you believed nor would I waste my time trying to convince you otherwise. The sheer fact that all you atheists keep trying to convince theists that there is no God proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that deep down in your spirit you know that there is a God. But because like I said before you're basically a bunch of COWARDS you don't have the guts to face your own reality. If you truly don't believe in God. Why keep discussing it. You will not change our minds. But you know what? Your mind will one day change because God is real and will reveal himself to you in subtle ways.

There are numerous forums out there by "alien enthusiasts" that talk to each other about aliens, possibilities etc etc....
I dont go on there forums and tell that they are all deluded, all idiots etc etc..........I am completely secure in my belief that there arent any aliens out there, hence no need to go on there site.
They can do what they want, deep down i dont believe aliens exist, again, i am very at ease with this......However, if i was insecure about my belief in aliens, i have a feeling i will be on there site day and night.............Mmmmm, sound familiar?

You seriously believe we are alone in this universe?!? There is almost a 100% certainty that other life forms exists... What a shitty example... Not to mention the fact that you think what smooth said was "magnificent" tells me a lot about you. Smooth is as far from logical as it gets. His argument, if you can call it that, is based solely on opinion and emotion... Wow Rostos. Really? Magnificent? As Mr. John Mcenroe once said, "You can not be serious!"

So lets take a quick snapshot of Mikmicks logic
"I dont believe God exists, because there is no evidence of him. I only believe in things which there is evidence of"
"There is almost a 100% certainty that aliens exist"....
Uhm, what happened to " I only believe in things which there is evidence of"
Show me where there is EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF ALIENS....
Mikmicks, changing the rules as you go along....

He has spent the best part of a week explaining that he doesnt believe God exists because there is no evidence of him, yet in the same breath he says aliens exist even though he doesnt have empirical evidence that they exist........

The fact that there is life on this planet and that there may have been life on Mars in the past (or even Venus) combined with the fact that there are trillions of other planets makes the odds of other life in the universe almost 100%
To put it in perspective
The odds that there ISN'T other life in the universe is about the same as the odds of a god existing.

Appeal to motive is a pattern of argument which consists in
challenging a thesis by calling into question the motives of its
proposer. It can be considered as a special case of the ad hominem circumstantial argument. As such, this type of argument may be a logical fallacy.
A common feature of appeals to motive is that only the possibility of
a motive (however small) is shown, without showing the motive actually
existed or, if the motive did exist, that the motive played a role in
forming the argument and its conclusion. Indeed, it is often assumed
that the mere possibility of motive is evidence enough.
The reason I love talking to you Rostos is that you're just so blatantly stupid that you somehow manage to work every logical flaw POSSIBLE into your arguments, and I enjoy making you look really, really bad

Yes or No, do you have EMPIRICAL evidence aliens exist?
No... it's only based on things that don't concern morons like you, such as probability, laws of nature, the observable universe, experimentation, etc.
Mikniks is basing his view on mathematics and recent discoveries across the universe. The fact that you are CERTAIN that aliens do no exist says a lot about you, although it doesn't say anything more than you've already revealed yourself to be, which is a stubborn, illogical moron who makes arguments that would fail a 4th grade reading level and a 1st grade logic level. I try to be cordial with you, but the fact remains that you are as obtuse as a doorknob and are so set in your insanity that you can't separate reality from fantasy anymore. I do feel bad for you though Rostos... watching you try to compete in an intellectual forum kinda reminds me of watching someone who doesn't know how to swim flail away in the water... no matter what you do, you're going to sink as you have so many times before and you only draw support from the biggest clowns you can find.
There is no empirical evidence of alien life, Rostos. Is there empirical evidence of god, Rostos? Say the second law of thermodynamics again, PLEASE. PLEASE make yourself look like more of a fool than you already have. I don't claim to know anything, unlike you. You believe without a shadow of a doubt that there's a magical man who's cloud surfing on some supernatural plane, but the idea that life exists SOMEWHERE else in the UNIVERSE/MULTIVERSE is just ridiculous to you, and for this you are a fuckin moron. That's just unavoidable. I've grown quite tired of you because you chide others for committing the very same fallacies that you employ in your own "arguments."
Take some classes, read some books, do SOMETHING. Learn something, for your sake. Because your bullshit may work on the sheep searching for comfort in their ludicrous beliefs, but when you come up against somebody who deserved to make it out of the 5th grade, your points topple like a Jenga tower in an earthquake.
Go pray about that you idiot

Which variety of men did god create? We have fossil records on many varities existing before modern man.
I will say it again.... the universe is an estimated 10-15 billion years old.... yet mankind is only 500,000 years old. Please enlighten me how that makes sense compared to Exodus?
Also life forms have been found in mars meteorites... since they are living they would be considered alien... meaning proof does 100% exist.
I find it laughable of how people think we are so important or rare... a meteor could wipeout humanity next week just like the dinosaurs... and guess what... a new species would take over the Earth.
Karl Marxx said it best " religion is the opiate of the masses"

So, with God it has to be empricial evidence, not probability, laws of nature and what we observe around us, but for aliens , you dont need emprical evidence but probability, laws of nature and the observable universe? Do you know what your name is? Cause you sound like one confused person. Your reasoning is laughable at best.

And the typical personal attack that is so common with atheists, ANGRY ATHEISTS.....
Roger Penrose*, a famous British mathematician and a close friend of Stephen Hawking, wondered about this question and tried to calculate the probability. Including what he considered to be all variables required for human beings to exist and live on a planet such as ours, he computed the probability of this environment occurring among all the possible results of the Big Bang.
According to Penrose, the odds against such an occurrence were on the order of 1010123 to 1.
It is hard even to imagine what this number means. In math, the value 10123 means 1 followed by 123 zeros. (This is, by the way, more than the total number of atoms 1078 believed to exist in the whole universe.) But Penrose's answer is vastly more than this: It requires 1 followed by 10123 zeros.
Or consider: 103 means 1,000, a thousand. 10103 is a number that that has 1 followed by 1000 zeros. If there are six zeros, it's called a million; if nine, a billion; if twelve, a trillion and so on. There is not even a name for a number that has 1 followed by 10123 zeros.
In practical terms, in mathematics, a probability of 1 in 1050 means "zero probability". Penrose's number is more than trillion trillion trillion times less than that. In short, Penrose's number tells us that the 'accidental" or "coincidental" creation of our universe is an impossibility.
Concerning this mind-boggling number Roger Penrose comments:
This now tells how precise the Creator's aim must have been, namely to an accuracy of one part in 1010123. This is an extraordinary figure. One could not possibly even write the number down in full in the ordinary denary notation: it would be 1 followed by 10123 successive 0's. Even if we were to write a 0 on each separate proton and on each separate neutron in the entire universe- and we could throw in all the other particles for good measure- we should fall far short of writing down the figure needed.
In fact in order to recognize that the universe is not a "product of coincidences" one does not really need any of these calculations at all. Simply by looking around himself, a person can easily perceive the fact of creation in even the tiniest details of what he sees. How could a universe like this, perfect in its systems, the sun, the earth, people, houses, cars, trees, flowers, insects, and all the other things in it ever have come into existence as the result of atoms falling together by chance after an explosion?

Well, I apologize because I was referring to complex life like us when I said there is almost 100% chance other life exists. It is though 100% that other life exists because scientists have found fossilized bacteria AKA ALIEN LIFE...
