The Neck of the Giraffe

All you can do is disbelieve, since there is no evidence to the contrary, which was the point I made.

Of course, when it is convenient, terms can be said to have different meanings. A theory is merely a supposition or speculation. The theory of evolution falls apart because it is unsupported by any hard evidence, and must therefore be believed in by faith, and the disbelief of known facts.

@secondson said
A theory just the same.

You are merely choosing to believe what you think is a "well-substantiated explanation".

Please be honest sir, and admit you don't know a damn thing for sure, based on alleged "fact-supported theories".

No, there are constants that applies to the whole, and variables throughout both macro and micro. You think that gravity and the explansion of the universe are varied throughout the universe? The only reason anything can occur are due to the underlying laws of the universe. It is no different than loading new software on a PC, before that happens there has to be a stable fin ...[text shortened]... is a meaningless happenstance glibly ignoring all the necessary things right in front of your eyes!

I've stated a couple already that support the universe supporting life. You want
me to back in this thread and repeat myself?

The universe supports life on Earth. It doesn't support life on Mercury. This is down to chance, not design.

And again, nothing has been fine-tuned. (For example, the Earth wasn't divinely nudged a little further from the sun to make life possible).

Do you think we are the only creatures who exist in the universe?

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Not a chance. I believe life is pretty commonplace.

Do you believe life may exist on places other than earth?

-VR

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Yes sir. I believe life is commonplace across the universe.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
On the contrary sir. I am quietly confident most of my knowledge is based on "fact-supported theories".

Do you have any scientific evidence of this?

I could say that too
