I'll be the first to say it, there has to be some other form of life out there.

Good point. However, being able to build something able to see great distances has a very predictable environment and is more so a mathematical problem which has to be solved. The body, on the other hand, is a work of art itself. It is extremely complicated and each person's body reacts differently to whatever it is exposed to. With the body, the worst diseases are caused by the smallest of parts of cells or a specific cellular interaction that does not happen or malfunctions in some way. Science is pushing to discover the cure for AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer's, and other such diseases, but since the body has so many intricacies it's hard to truly find a cure. I just finished my Biochemistry course this past semester and it was interesting to see how the body works on the cellular level in relation to diseases and cellular metabolism.

Just another side of the story, the microscopic instead of the macroscopic is just as fascinating.

Didn't you know the cure for AIDS is money? (http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/164373)

And to think some people think "God" created all that. All I have to say is LOL.

I think you have to be completely ignorant to think we are the only lifeforms out there. Seeing that makes it seem damn near impossible in my mind.

Just came across this. Very cool vid.

As for this exchange:


And to think some people think "God" created all that. All I have to say is LOL.

fixed.

Each is no more or less ridiculous than the other. The idea of God suggests an all knowing, all powerful entity that is and always will be everything and forever. And this idea is crazier than "Well, it's always been here and it always will be?" And for you religious types that scoff at the idea of a "Big Bang" the theory was first put forward in the early 1930's by Georges Lemaître, a Roman Catholic Priest (among other things). Apparently, he figured that if God decided to invent a universe for the sole pleasure of man ;), it was just as easy to "pop" it into existence as it would have been to slowly form it out of nothing. It also explains how the universe is constantly expanding outward from a given point.

I also don't except the notion that out of this whole show, it was all created for the amusement of the humans on this planet, alone. If you're God, why stop here? Why not fill your universe with all manner of life capable of worshiping your handy work? The arrogance of Man never ceases to amaze me...
