If God is talking to you, you must be a heretic. Bring out the stake, people. It's time for some barbecue.

As you yourself wrote, entropy only occurs in closed systems. Whilst the universe is indeed a closed system, the earth is not. Hence there is no contradiction in the idea of evolution occuring - evolutionary theory does not contradict the laws of thermodynamics.

What are you on? a few hundred years ago, you were lucky to live past 35.

If you made it to 50, you were in the zone. Depending on what part of the world you were in, you would also be lucky to be more than 5 feet tall.

Earth is the only planet in the known universe able to support life.
Explain to me why the Earth is not considered a closed system.

Why has no one corrected this man yet? Has no one identified his flawed definition of evolution?

Your opinion of 'better' has nothing to do with it. Darwin's theory states that things adapt to better suit their enviroment. No one ever said 'Every evolution of every species has been an improvement', because that would be crap. "Improvement" is an opinion, just like 'better'.

There are fish on the bottom of the ocean that, through evolution and adaption, no longer needed eyes. so they live with senses, and no sight. This wasn't neccessarily an 'improvement', it was just adaption.


I swear by my life - and my love of it - that I will never live my life for the sake of another man, or ask another man to live his for mine.

I pity everyone who has completely disregarded elemental facts of this debate.

IT HAS BEEN PROVEN AND EVIDENCE HAS BEEN FOUND THAT ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS CREATED 'GOD' TO EXPLAIN THE EXISTENCE OF HUMAN BEINGS TO THEIR YOUNG.

THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE THAT SUGGESTS EVERYTHING IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS FICTION WHICH MEANS JESUS AND ALL OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS WERE NON-EXISTANT

Can we please get a reality check here.

I'd also like to contradict that, sir.

Microbes have been discovered on Mars but NASA are determined to keep quiet about it. This is definitely true though. Not only that, even if you don't want to believe these facts NASA have admitted that they know Mars can sustain life.

One of the moons of Jupiter, I think it's Europa but I wouldn't be certain on this, is believe to be likely to sustain sealife.

"This is definitely true though.' Where's some kind of proof, or fact? Or is this just your opinion?

Well that's just nifty. We can all pack up and de-evolve to sea dwelling creatures. When someone says a planet cannot sustain life, it usually means ALL life. Not just ocean creatures.

That's a real rough definition of it...and it's not so much 'proven' as it is a 'theory'...although it's one i roughly agree with. If it were 'proven', we wouldn't have to have this conversation, would we?

You are not, by any feasible means, a fucking genius. Theology and Deities excluded, history proves that, in fact, a man named jesus christ did live. And history says that, yes, he was crucified.

And where is this 'evidence'?

Correction: They are researching wether or not Mars supported life at one time in the past.

Maybe life could exist, but it doesn't need Oxygen to survive. Maybe it breathes Nitrogen.

No, your wrong. Jesus never said anything about Nitrogen-breathing organisms. Thus that's just a liberal ploy to turn our children away from the gospel of god.

Maybe I'm just extremely ignorant, but why must there be water for life? Sure, that's how things work on this planet, but is that necessarily how things must work on the others?

How about this one for a real brain fucker? The Bible talks about God having created life on earth. It never said that he didn't create life on any other planet, now does it?

Exactly, we are carbon-based organisms. It is not necessary that every organism in the universe that exists (or may not for that matter but that's not the argument) is also carbon-based. And if they are not carbon-based then it's feasible that they are not oxygen breathers either.

It's possible they dont breathe at all, maybe they move/communicate with different methods.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm tired of being blamed for the death of Jesus. I have an alibi: my parents weren't born yet and I don't own a time machine.

Jesus was crucified for breaking the law, which makes it his own fault.

Yes but if he is the son of God then doesn't he kind of have an excuse?
