It was the result of a higher universe equivalent to a high school physics class. The students each had a universe making machine but had to devise the rules of physics for their own project. We happen to have been made in one in which the student set up rules that for him, by chance it turned out to be favorable for life on Earth.
The student put in hi ...[text shortened]...
The instructor gave that student an A for his work. That was the best grade in the whole class.

Maybe in a hundred years or a thousand years of continual scientific progress we can make a more definitive statement scientifically about what came before and such but for right now, it's anyone's guess as to how it first started.
so thats great do you now think that the universe was created??
The same with evolution. I can't understand why religious folks get so bent out of shape with that concept when the real fight is over how life started in the first place. Evolution, as we all should know at least in this forum by now, is about what happened after. But the religious right continues to use the monkey turned into man concept which isn't what evolution says but they do that to deflect from the main issue.

I am not convinced that Christians live a better life on average than I do.
As for life after death, I am yet to hear of a reasonable explanation for how that would make any sense, or be meaningful or desirable to me.

I think if there was some kind of god, it would take more of an interest in our planet. I don't see any sign of that. Mostly war and more war and a lot of it over variations of religious dogma.

Like "Why E=mc2?" "Becase god wanted it to be like that!" No science needed.
"Where did life come from?" "Because it was created by god!" No science needed.
"Where did the Universe come from?" "God created it!" No science needed.
"Who created RedHotPawn?" "Russ did it!" No science needed.
And so on...
See it like this instead: "Every scientific achievemnet is a step to knowing god better. Because god is Universe, with all it natural laws and constants. By doing deep scientific research of the nature of the universe, you get to know the nature of god. By knowing science you know god.
Not the christian god, hell no, but the True God.
The scientists are the true teologians. If they prove the word of the genesis is wrong, it's because it is wrong, and doesn't show the real nature of god.

believe, but that does not change anything for them either. What would change
your life would be to actually getting to know God, that would without a doubt
turn your whole life into something new. That would change it to the point that
no matter what happen to your life, it would not matter due to the truth that you
would now have.
