rpavich: "proof" or lack thereof is in the eyes of the evaluator and since we both (Christians and non-christians) have that same "evidence" as outlined in the video, we both will interpret what is said based on our own predetermined position...our "presuppositions" if you will.

Nagy: That holds true only if one rejects a proven system for finding truth; the scientific method. The scientific method is self-correcting, honest, and without a built-in agenda. It uncovers the truth about nature incrementally, each advance going beyond previous ones. The other alternative is faith, which is acceptance of some source's utterances without any proof at all, and even against vast volumes of disproof. Faith allows one to believe in anything anyone can postulate, not matter how stupid.

Well as far as we know - there may indeed be other sentient species in the universe who have developed the concept of faith. We may never meet them, of course, given the vastness of the universe. Which brings me to a previous point made by another poster - the claim that because we haven't found extra-terrestrial intelligence after 50 years searching we should give up saying that there may be other intelligent species in the universe. All we can actually say is that it is looking unlikely that there is an intelligent species which is advanced enough to detect and respond to a signal sent via radio within 25 light years. And the fact that oxygen has been found in the atmospheres of some exoplanets suggests (though it doesn't prove) that there may be life on them.

It takes a person devoid of any reason, to come up with there is no God. And to think that life, came into being all by itself. Science has been 50 or more years trying to locate life elsewhere in the universe, they have not even come close. When does reality set in, and you have to say you are beat. God created man a unique creation, there is no other life out there. Other than that of the spiritual realm.

If you don’t believe in God, I cannot help you. But if you believe in little green/gray men, flying sausages, and the like, you need help. Perhaps the “Funny Farm”. Or you have watched that fuzzy headed guy, that comes on the History channel too much. Turn off the tube once in a while, it will poison your mind, with all sorts of tripe.



“Heaven!”. :)
