      I always tell people, that we are proof that life can spring up anywhere in the universe, under the right conditions. With a trillion galaxies, and who knows how many stars (unfathomable), and then including the number of planets to go with those stars, life DOES exist elsewhere. "Life" does not have to be exactly what it is here on Earth. Life will evolve according to the conditions of it's host planet, just as it did here. And, we're still discovering new and beguiling species.

    Mabey it's not human life, but life in everything. Mabey the miracle, or purpose isnt human life spacifacly, but life in all things is the miracle, or purpose. And it evolved in many forms, shapes, and sizes. All life is the gift. No life is greater or less than another. Christianity specifies human life, maybe my its missing the broader picture.

    Kind of odd that neil didn't mention this, him being an astophysicist. Our moon is quite pecularly big. Maybe its not thaat rare but it definetely contributes to the discussion on what is different about earth. The moon is basically the sole responsible that our hot core is still active, since the moon is constany fulling it energy by making it move, and in turn that gives us a protective magnetic field. And the movement of the moon also fuels oceanic currents, that contribute greatly to having an homogenous temperature in the planet. I don't think this are requirements for life, but maybe they are for complex life.

      Thanks for bringing up the effect of the moon on earth core. I didn't that and looked it up. The moon may have played a major role in the emergence of life, by churning chemicals via the tides. It's also critical for advanced life, by helping stabilize the climate. Another interesting thought I picked somewhere else is the idea that we may be blessed to live on a big, but not *too* big rocky planet, as we still have the capability to escape gravity via chemical rockets. With a little more gravity, that becomes impossible, which means a lot of technology and science becomes a lot harder to develop. That also means aliens, if there are any, would probably be coming from similar size planets.

      Thanks Diego G you brought up a major point that seems often forgotten. A couple more I can think of... most other solar systems have "Hot Jupiters" in the way. The fact that our Jupiter (and Saturn) got flung back out is quite unusual. We are situated in a "Goldilocks Zone" of our galaxy too.... "surfs up" when you go further in radiation-wise. It's likely to be more hostile in other ways too. Size of the Earth gets a comment here too. I don't know if its worth a mention, but the emergence of eukaryotic cells is considered a major fluke too.

    Arguing against an anthropomorphic God is now old science, yet remains valid for those who still project an anthropomorphic image or being, as with patriarchal religions perhaps especially. If we can agree that the term God does not refer to a being, but to different explanations of the creative power source of existence that defies even the notion of a singularity and that is not located, for example, then we enter into a different discussion. This different discussion asks questions like what is consciousness and what is information itself and where does it originate, among many other perspectives. This is a good science discussion for grade 12 students to recap the basics in all their complexities preparing students to enter the next subsequent levels of the discussion and debate.

      "we dont believe the universe came from nothing, we say we dont know." Not true at all. Krauss wrote a book and has publicly stated that the Universe comes from nothing . Stephen hawking suggested Universe comes from nothing because of Gravity ( while failing to explain where gravity comes from) . Both of them have been heavily panned by many peers in the scientific community and the theory has little acceptance as of now. There are many atheists who believe in nonsense like Universe coming out of nothing or universe always existing or multiverse all of which has as much credence and credibility as the magical cosmic skydady you militant atheists are obsessed with in your naive interpretation of the non atheism ( which can be agnostics, deists, pantheists, monotheists, multi theists).

    Q: Will finding life cause believers to abandon their religion? (Now, is it a question of abandoning religion or the reality of a creator, God?)
    My Personal Answer as a Christian and a scientific believer: I would not abandon and hope to be more enlightened. I believe in a creator. I also believe that when the universe was created, the big bang explained it pretty well as we interpret it and that God caused it. Humans were created along with other life. We are not alone on this earth (other creations like bacterium, reptiles, mammals, etc.) and would not be surprised if there is more in our vast expansion.
    Man is narcissistic and believes that when we hear all that was created for us that means that we are supposed to be in the middle, literally. Why can't we be God's creation and still revolves and rotates around a Sun that gives us light and warmth during the day and coolness and rest at night when it's dark. Our bodies need both.

      "Facts" rarely if ever result in people abandoning an ideological worldview which as it happens is not based upon credible evidence in the first place. Accordingly the introduction of evidence which refutes religious dogma = would only trigger evermore tenuous and convoluted rationalizations by theists to continue to cling to their preferred worldview. In short = they make up their reality as they go along so that the sky becomes the limit with only their imaginations limiting what becomes possible. Have a nice day.

    One very large problem is that a lot of people oppose religion and the Bible because no one reads the Bible to know what it really says, not even most of the religious leaders. So when they claim the Bible says that the universe was created in 7 days that certainly does sound ridiculous because it is overwhelmingly evident that the universe has existed billions of years. However, the Bible says only: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." No time period is given, but that leaves open the truth that the universe existed billions of years. After the universe was created, Genesis 1:2 describes the condition of the earth as being a dark, uninhabitable wasteland. God himself told Job described about the dark masses of cosmic dust that enveloped the earth at this time, and this explains why the surface of the earth was dark. Then it was in six creative Epochs, or "days," each one evidently lasting thousands of years, that God began preparing the earth for habitation. First, he called for light, which means God must have begun to gradually break up those dense, dark cloud layers until light from the sun began penetrating through to the "surface of the watery deep." (Genesis is written from the perspective of an observer on the earth.) Evidently the cosmic clouds continued breaking up until the sources of the light could be seen by the end of the 4th "day." Now none of this is unscientific. The Biblr is no science book, and Moses, a shepherd living 3,500 years ago could not possibly understand what he was inspired by the Creator of all things to write, neither is it imaginable that anyone in his day (see how I used that word day and you knew that I wasn't talking about a 24-hour period?) could make up what's written in the first chapter of Genesis, but the whole thing agrees with science. Ask ANYBODY in Moses' day about the beginning of it all and he likely will tell you about struggles between gods that resulted in there being a ground, the earth, and people upon it without even a single thought that the universe beyond the earth also had a beginning. Cooled the earth and created atmosphere (called "firmament" or "expanse" in other translations. There was water placed above the atmosphere, the same "heavenly waters" that fell down to the earth in Noah's day and is still here today as a large source of fresh water. The oceans and skies began teaming with life over the course of many years, the 5th Day. And on the 6th Day land animals were created, also Adam and Eve. Adam was formed by the clay in the ground. All earthly life is made up of the elements of the earth except for one thing that cannot be found in all the universe, the life principle. You can have all the ingredients, but as one law of science points out, nothing living can come from something nonliving. You absolutely cannot put all the ingredients together and produce something living. No matter how you look at it, argue it, make wishes, experiment, you will always fall back to the inescapable conclusion that someone put life on this planet. That part cannot be argued. Now it is actually unscientific to think the universe and the amazingly beautiful machinery of it could possibly have come into existence without a powerful Designer and Engineer to create it and the physical laws that govern it with such precision. It has never been observed even once that structure just showed up fromnowhere. Even a simple mousetrap has a designer, and everyone in the science community would consider a person who says the mousetrap fell into place on it's own to be ignorant. But let's say this universe really did accomplish the impossible and just show up on it's own. There would still have to be someone to implant the life principle into even the smallest organism for it to live. All life forms are more than the sum of its physical ingredients.

    I think it would actually be very interesting to find a version of life elsewhere. A couple of possibilities come to mind. 1) the version of life we find is entirely unique to the planet we find it on (this would support abiogenesis hypothesis).
    2) the version of life we find is so similar to Earth that it actually looks like we’re related through genetic sequencing. This could mean 2 things...(2.1) we actually are related (So where does the source come from?). (2.2) we’re not related, but life comes about by a specific process that occurred in both places at different times (what is that process? And what were the conditions that allowed it to happen?)

    One very different thing, from among the planets already known is that their gravity would be ENORMOUSLY greater than we have on Earth. Building blocks or no, we'll probably find those in most planets, but we need to find one in its "habitable zone" with a gravity not much more than our own (But less would be bad, foo), with abundant liquid water, with an orbit that allows for no extremes, and a liquid iron core that gives it adequate protection from cosmic and solar rays that would kill living things. It would have to have an atmosphere, but not necessarily an oxygen/nitrogen one like we have. It would not be able to support life as we know it with a methane/ammonia atmosphere, but time could change that (LOTS of time), because Earth's original atmosphere was NOT the one we have now.
    There are probably other vital factors if we want to find a planet that is either life-supporting or potentially so.
    That Kepler 22b would NEVER be habitable for us, because you'd weigh at least 5 times what you do now, and your bones would never be able to support you, even lying down.
    Planets Earthlike enough to support our kind of life may be rare, but they'd probably number in the millions in our Galaxy alone. It is beyond belief that life exists only here.

    @ChristnThms 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Now see, I'm not a scientist. But, I've been operator and repairman of a lot of different forms of machinery, and some of this great country's great education. I view everything that moves or creates action as a system, and look for interdependencies and connections. This is how I look at cars and all their pieces, how I look at ships, planes, power grids. This is how I look at economics, relationships and ecosystems too. What I see, among the more finely tuned of these systems, is a tendency by the designer (natural selection is often the designer) to create systems that include a feedback mechanism that facilitates change and improvement. Evaluation systems in companies, grading systems in school, hell even the change in cars from OBD 1 to OBD 2. So, I think to myself, what would the ULTIMATE engineer design?
    Maybe, what he would design isn't a single thing, but rather a conclusion. Maybe, simply designing a thing is of no significance to an engineer of such omnipotence. Maybe at that level, designing a thing would be like us drawing stick figures in the dirt with our fingers...
    Maybe life, and us, isn't the goal but rather a prerequisite. Maybe the "in his own image" has nothing to do with the physical (if the physical isn't the goal, then it may not be the criteria either), but rather in the image of a self-aware being with an innate moral compass. Maybe, this entire experiment was about the free will to choose, since without a choice, there can't really be a right or wrong. Maybe, all the hydrogen gathering into stars, and then starting fusion to create all the bigger elements, and then gathering together to form planets and solar systems, and eventually the primordial ooze spitting out some sort of bug or worm... Maybe all of that is simply a well designed machine, whose goal is to produce a sentient being with free will, which is the prerequisite for the actual goal.
    I offer all this, not because I'm sure of the answer, but because this video puts forth a lot of conclusions that are just as poorly supported as those of the uneducated religious. Science is supposed to ask questions, not make snap conclusions. Of all people, an astro-physicist ought to have enough perspective to be skeptical of any conclusions.
    I don't think any organized religion is "right." But I do find it curious that we humans, all over the planet, have a concept of right and wrong, that seems to be unique to our species. When 2 people of different cultures meet and struggle to communicate, the words have to be learned but the concepts of right and wrong are inherent. Two strangers meet on a train and argue over a seat, they both appeal to a right based on some perspective. They disagree on perspective, but not on whether it is right that one of them has the seat. This singular uniqueness, seems to be, sufficient to approach any conclusion about our "purpose" in life with skepticism. Millions of lives have been lost in wars between people who were sure of their conclusions... Maybe the path forward is with some honest and humble questions instead.

    I'm not a believer in God, but it does seem to me that human consciousness seems pretty damn special, as far as we know. This mechanistic universe, filled with Dead matter created something that can consciously examine it's self. Since that's the case, it's not a far leap to imagine a much larger, & more substantial (for lack of a better term) form of conscious being that is more profound, & creative than our wildest dreams could possibly Invision. Is our consciousness more "special" than the entire solar system of rocks, gas, nuclear fusion? It kinda seems that way, but maybe as a human, I'm biased.

    Personally I think there is no conflict between science and religion based on our understanding of Genesis. Orthodox Judaism and Christianity use a literal interpretation of Genesis 1-3 to infer that the book talks about cosmology and origin of life as direct physical creation of God by His word (speaking). However if you interpreted the first eleven chapters of Genesis as a sort of extended prologue to the Scriptures revealing God’s desire to have a covenantal relationship with man and the restoration from man’s fall to fellowship with Him, then the message in Genesis 1-3 is not about physical cosmology and physical creation of life on planet earth. It is about spiritual restoration of the mortal physical beings and the new creation of God’s people in the spiritual realm, the Kingdom of God.

    I had my doubts but now I'm pretty convinced. What did it was thinking about the extreme past. Assuming the Big Bang Theory is accurate my first two questions are what caused it, and what came before it. And if something came before it how far back can we go? Is the past infinite or does it have a definitive starting point? If there's a definitive starting point how did that whole system come about? A lot of scientists and atheists say that there's a solution for everything, we might just not know it yet. But I think there will always be a question science can't answer. Gonna end with this tho, I don't care if you're an atheist. Please don't insult me by comparing God to Santa or saying he's some magic guy in the sky.

      Not everyones opinion deserves respect. If there was a person having the opinion it was ok to have slaves, I would not respect it. I can tolerate it.
      (If he does not start to actually enslave people.)
      Sure there is an ocean of things science cannot answer. This is the main reason why it exists. It works there. If everything was known, there would be no science.
      But when faced with Religion, it claims to know the unknown things, and even comes up with rules. ( For 4000 different gods until now.)
      Seriously I like people. I have no intention to insult anybody. But it is HARD to deal with religion.
      And sometimes it helps to switch positions:
      (Not comparing god to Elvis)
      When faced with religion it feels like somebody is telling me:
      "Elvis is still alive, he wants you to wear a white Cowboy hat!"
      And when I ask: "How do you know?" (As I am a curious person)
      I get:
      "Can YOU prove Elvis is not still alive?"
      "We know SO little, that means Elvis is probably alive!"
      "There is a book saying Elvis is still alive !"
      "Respect my opinion on Elvis being alive !"
      I just want to transport my point. While I am pretty sure Elvis is dead, I have no idea why the universe exists. NOBODY has. That´s why I find people suspicious saying they know. Yes, science is just pushing the boundaries, there will be no definitive answer. Good scientists are well aware there is no finish line. But they are running at least. Writing "Finish" on the pavement and sitting there leads nowhere.
      So, while I tolerate religion, the choice what I respect is my freedom. And I respect the quest for the truth. I have no idea if a god exists. Does not look like it. But I see religion as a problem for mankind. And I like mankind. If it respects my opinion or not.

    • @morn1415
      @morn1415 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Roger Gillion Glad you are still asking questions as dogmas lead to stop doing so.
      1. Because the big bang (which is an unfortunate name, but easier for people to remember) was no explosion IN space, it is the constant expansion OF space called inflation. Imagine a cake with raisins scattered in it. If you bake it the cake will grow larger and each raisin is moving away from all others. This is exactly what we observe. No matter on which raisin you are.
      2. I think you are asking what is the universe expanding into? Because you imagine the universe as a bubble in an endless space. This is not the case. It does not have an edge. To ask what is outside is the same question as asking what lies north of the north pole? It is a nonsense question. The mathematics works, but our brain cannot comprehend, the same way an ant on a ball cannot comprehend there is something else than the surface of the ball.
      3. No matter is ejected from a black hole. And only the energy from the big bang exists. It will spread out until no things will be able to happen any more.
      4. Time itself is a variable. It has different speeds in different places. It can even stop based on our calculations. We can see it is true, because it works.
      GPS for Navigation is based on it.
      5. It does not matter how crazy something sounds. What counts is data and evidence.
      You should follow the evidence wherever it may lead.
      If you want to convince me that a creator exists, all it needs is evidence. Because I can still go the way of accepting it if there was evidence. You cannot go back from it. For you automatically everything isviewed under a filter. Even the search for truth is the search of the creator. Because you start with something that you are convinced of, this will lead to ignoring things that contradict.
      My only question to you:
      1. What convinces you that the business did not create god? That is the question. Or the desire for purpose. Or the fear of death.
      Or the fact that people create, so they think everything is created. If there was a single truth, why have there been so many different religions?

      To find out if you are a genious I want to take out an exemplary statement of yours. Number 4. Could you please explain to me in simple terms in which way Einstein was totally wrong with his concept of spacetime. And present your equations. And why you did not get a nobel prize as you have a better formulated concept of reality. I mean first Newton, then Einstein and now you. We are really making progress.

      Roger Gillion I am glad that you even talk to somebody that thinks like an ant as you stated, I am sorry that the ant looks arrogant. (See, there is more sarcasm!)
      I try to look at it in a sober way. All the scientists I had the honor to have a conversation with concur that Einstein completely transformed our understanding of reality. There are tons of practical applications from the Atomic Bomb to over cathod ray tubes to GPS, explaining how Electromagnetism and Light behaves. While we expanded on his work, there is hardly anything in sight to "disprove" it. It is a complete scientific theory that does not tumble until now. Surely people try to attack it, it is a good thing. And one day it will make way for something that also implements Quantum effects. "Einstein disproven" is what I see written in the Yellow Press with a question mark at the end to attract viewers. The day has not come. Now I am confronted with a TH-cam Commenter saying "Lmao". Do you see what I mean?
      Honestly why don´t you go to the next University with your completed theory? I can maybe put you in touch with a Quantum Physicist. (But he is a bit grumpy as last time I put him in touch with a guy from the Internet it turned out this was a crazy person. The equations did not make sense. ...couldnt tell.)

      The 'acceptance of evolution' is just an effort to appear more 'reasonable' to those who are skeptical of religion's claims - in other words, a tactic that was devised to try to bring more people under its influence, and to quell the tendency of its existing followers to question the old teachings.

    • @xaenon
      @xaenon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Religion is a textbook example of cognitive dissonance. It belongs nowhere NEAR science or education. Religion teaches that what we know ain't really so, and teaching a blend of science and religion only lends credibility to religion, that religion has not earned, and it does so at the expense of science.
      On the subject of blending ancient beliefs with what we know today:
      I'm sure you'll agree that teaching phrenology, bloodletting, the use of leeches, and demons causing various ailments alongside modern medical knowledge is a bad, bad idea. I seriously doubt you'd want a 'doctor' who graduated from that medical school to be wielding the scalpel if you ever need surgery.
      The most 'learned' of ancient scholars believed, AND TAUGHT, that there were only four elements, of which absolutely everything was made - earth, wind, fire, and water. I'm sure that will blend nicely with modern chemistry and molecular theory.
      And I'm sure the scientists and engineers at NASA could benefit from some flat-earth theory in their education. What could possibly go wrong?

      Whoa, dude...
      You're jumping into God conclusion too quick eh.. nobody ever mentioned God yet. Let's just say the "Originator" for argument sake since the word "God" seems to make some people irritated nowadays and we take a step all the way back to the beginning.
      The keyword is "Infinite Regress."
      Everything that exists in the universe has a beginning, and it needs something (Originator) that caused it to happen in the first place. Because if we keep asking who caused the first cause, and so on and so forth all the way back (infinity) without stopping at one point, we would be stuck with "Infinite Regress".
      Quick example: let's say there's a sniper that is about to hit his target, but he needs permission to pull the trigger from his superior. But his superior needs permission from his superior and his superior's superior needs permission from his superior and go all the way through infinity without having someone on the top of the chain of command and make the decision to pull the trigger. Will the sniping action ever take place if this continues for infinity?
      Thus, by logical necessity, we need that first-cause (Originator) that caused everything to happen in the universe as the starting point or otherwise we would be stuck in the infinite loop of asking who created who and we wouldn't be here at all.

    In addition, I think it is the force that creates innate pre-made mental operations that guided some of the beliefs about how humans must behave.

Humans will have problems if they do not follow those pre-made mental operations and problems may continue and repeat until they adhere and change to allow the natural mind to succeed. Humans are all born with these pre-made mental operations so they are a part of our human existence. Who made these pre-made mental operations? For example, how does every single human being know to have a different fingerprint than every other human being in all existence of humanity and never have that fingerprint duplicated? All humans throughout the entire existence of human beings have a different fingerprint...and not even one single fingerprint has ever been duplicated. Each human being is uniquely identified forever with thier unique fingerprint--permanently! The force that creates this situation in each human mind is the same force that made life and the universe...and this force does attend specifically to humans fingerprints in a very unique and interesting way--which counters what Neil Tyson is saying. Neil Tyson has some good points but I think he is bias against some form of creation or creator and his conclusions may not be completely accurate.
