If life began by evolution, then why didn't any of the other planets have everything we have, on them?

No one has been able to answer these yet. Do scientists mean to tell us that Earth was the "only special one" that got any or every type of creature on it? That'd be a pretty good trick! 😄 Why didn't evolution cause creatures of any and every sort on any other planets? Even Mars is bare, maybe with a little bacteria here and there, but if evolution was true, it would have so much more.

So evolution had a brain and picked and chose which planet it would bring all types of life and intricate detail to, then hung all the planets and stars in the sky with perfect placement and exact timing each needed for everything to work perfectly? God gave us more intelligence than that. And remember...in the beginning, before God made anything, the earth was void.

Genesis 1:1 tells us that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void (Genesis 1:2). The Hebrew word tohu is translated as “without form” or “formless,” and bohu is rendered “void” or “empty.”

John 1:3 - "All things were made by Him; and without Him, was not any thing made that was made.

If you accept evolution, then the science upon which it is based explains why there is no life as we know it elsewhere.

@sree251 Thank you. I don't accept evolution. I believe God's Word over man's. Science is just guessing on this, but tries to appear knowledgeable about this particular subject, with their false ego projection that they know things, which in reality, they don't.

sree251 · 41-45, M

@LadyGrace The science about fire and how to start it for keeping us warm and cooking food is helpful. The science telling us abut what we are and how we were created is not.

LadyGrace ·

@sree251 I think it is definitely, because those are things we need to know, because they tell us how we were created and why we need Jesus. We certainly can't get to heaven on our own, but I agree with your first part.

sree251 · 41-45, M

@LadyGrace The second part is about science telling us that we are essentially biological organisms and nothing else. Such organisms evolved from basic matter. I am not basic matter, and I did not come out of the human brain.

I have nothing to do with the biological organism. I did not come out of the human brain.

LadyGrace ·

@sree251 Neither do I, but the Bible tells me exactly where I came from and who would know better than God, our Creator? The only difference is some don't believe in God, so they're stuck without answers. Neither do some scientists, so that's their subtle way of trying to dismiss God. Something cannot come from nothing, no matter many times science tries to figure it. Although now I have seen different articles where some scientists are finally admitting that something cannot come from nothing; that it takes intelligent design by an intelligent Creator.

@LadyGrace A scientist can be you or me using knowledge to make things work. Knowledge is based on the assumptions we make to begin with. Take matter, for example. In biology, we regard it as the stuff called protoplasm. Under the microscope, we see cells; under greater magnification, we see atoms. We give names to everything we see. These are all assumed things. The bottom line is that all of reality is made up of assumptions that we store as knowledge. We are the creator of knowledge. We concoct everything we know about what we are.

LadyGrace ·

@sree251 For me, and according to God's promises, I know when I received the Holy Spirit that dwells in me (as promised to anyone in the world, when they accept Jesus as their Savior), so I'm not guessing or making assumptions. We are not the Creator of knowledge. All knowledge comes from God.

Proverbs 2:6 - "All wisdom comes from the LORD, and so do common sense and understanding."

@sree251 Fire was discovered much before we heard of the term Oxygen. Just saying.

@LadyGrace You said: "We are not the Creator of knowledge. All knowledge comes from God."

I think it is we who create knowledge. Actually, we cook it up. However, the ability to create knowledge and invent things did not come from us. Also, we did not create us.

We perceive our reality through the knowledge we cooked up. We live in a world of our own making. Our world and ourselves are make-belief knowledge-based presentations of science.

Nature is not created by us. The sun is not created by us. The tree is not created by us. Their presentations, as things in our science books, are created by us. To see the truth beyond their knowledge-based presentation, is to commune with "God". Knowledge is a crutch. It is for the lame and the cripple. Put down the crutch and walk, said Jesus. Can you do that? Can you put away your Bible and "walk" on your own?

@DanielsASJ You said: "Fire was discovered much before we heard of the term Oxygen. Just saying."

Damn right! You've got it. Fire is closer to the truth than oxygen ever will.

LadyGrace ·

@sree251 Jesus and the Bible are anything but a crutch. They are the remedy. I'm not going to get into a big long discussion with you, but the day that humans believe they are gods, is the day God's judgment will come, just like at the Tower of Babel. Man gets too smart for his britches and thinks he is above God in knowledge and creation, but just the opposite is true. If God had not given you a brain to think with, and a conscience, you would not know nor have, anything. The real issue here is that you don't want to believe in God. Can you lay down your ego and accept that God made you and gave you a brain? Man's knowledge shall never exceed God's.

@sree251 without oxygen, there is no fire

DanielsASJ · 36-40, M

@sree251

Damn right! You've got it. Fire is closer to the truth than oxygen ever will.

Do you know what you are talking about? Or You just talking for the sake of talking? Maybe not interested in discussion at all?

sree251 · 41-45, M

@DanielsASJ You said: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

I do. I am speaking from my perception of reality. I am interested in discussion and more than happy to check out the difference in our respective points of view.

sree251 · 41-45, M

@Jayciedubb You said: "without oxygen, there is no fire"

Is the sun a great ball of fire? Who is supplying the oxygen?

DanielsASJ · 36-40, M

@sree251 Look at the original post and check the deviation if any, I would be happy to read your perspective on it.

sree251 · 41-45, M

@DanielsASJ What original post? My response was to yours below:

@DanielsASJ I responded to what you wrote, buddy. Deal with it.

@sree251 some substances provide their own oxygen as they burn, like Magnesium and white phosphorous.

Edit: the Sun is not a great ball of Fire by the way. What we see is nuclear fusion

sree251 · 41-45, M

@Jayciedubb You know what, Jacy? Fire, nuclear fusion, these are all words, words that invoke visions that shape our perception. When I am sitting in a full lotus position, all things fade out.

Jayciedubb · 56-60, M

@sree251 idk if thats good or bad. .. everything you wrote was written with words. Words are a way that we communicate. But without words , fire and fusion would still exist and if they really faded out we'd all being big trouble

Without words, cognition cannot function. Cognitive response is the process of accessing verbalized knowledge understood through thought, experience, and the senses.
