Quote from jem:
Do you realize by defining evolution as pre-biotic evolution and biological evolution... you just proved my point.
You think the layman currently makes that distinction? You think the religious people denying evolution make that distinction. No, I can tell you a large percent of them are denying we evolved from primordial soup.
And I will bet a larger percent of the the pro evolution people mistakenly believe we have proof we came out of the primordial soup.
And I would imagine a so called sophisticated pro evolution guy like yourself does not even realize that chance we evolved from non life here on earth have been called next to impossible by the best minds in science.
Quote from Opulence:
I don't get it. How does a grown person believe that an invisible man created everything and have a hard time even entertaining any scientific theory? For the life of me, I can't figure that out. But maybe that's a good thing.
Quote from stu:
It's all really straight forward once you stop trying to make this into something it isn't.
Stephen Hawking explains a bottom-up approach to cosmology leads to one losing "all ability to explain cosmologyâs central question - why our universe is the way it is."
He makes it clear that from his perspective, both carefully fine tuned or eternal inflation as a basis to work from, are both of no use as they prevent discovery.
Thus he proposes what he says is the more useful approach of top-down. An anthropic approach, which is not referring to any "appearance of design as if by outside agency", or for eternal inflation, and by the way once again, top-down does not require infinite other universes as you wrongly assert.
You like to repeatedly quote Stephen Hawking. He also states this. Why don't you ever use it instead of trying to misunderstand papers that don't say what you say they do?
No appearance or need of (intelligent)design nor unobservable eternal inflation, nor multiverses, just simply because there is gravity.......
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing".
"Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist."
Stephen Hawking
At least you constantly make it very obvious why religion needs to be kept clear of things that have real and practical implications for everyone.

Quote from jem:
1. you lie like a ingnorant troll again.
do you see the "or". ..
see quote below...
2. you once again lie... you use a quote... and do not give a link... why?
Well we already played this game. you quote shows I am correct.
Your quote is written in the context of the mulitiverse... we went through this before.
Quote from stu:
Yes we've been through this before. You get refuted and debunked in this and other threads so you wind back to the start and repeat the same ignorant remarks.
You have no argument. You look absurd making one ridiculous comment after the next trying to sound as if you do.
Religion 101: keep saying everything you don't understand or can't agree with is troll bs, repeat the same faulty claims a million times despite them being debunked, or just blurt out "random chance", in a generally random manner.Quote from jem:
troll b.s. at its finest... everything you believe has been debunked as 1950s worship of random chance type atheism ... completely debunked by current scientific understanding.
