Who Says There's No Good News?: Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God

Some days when my faith wavers, I wonder if the universe isn't some colossal, sterile computer. That would make the Earth just a bad sector or a bit of corrupt code. Then the fact that we haven't been overwritten yet restores my faith.

Be fruitful and multiply is the first commandment in the Bible. What if He has set all of the universe aside for us?

I takes a good deal less supposing to suppose that our sun and it's planets do in fact represent a very common arrangement through the universe. It takes a great deal of supposing to assume that it doesn't.

Zero is zero. Any fraction of infinity is infinity.

Earth does not require an exclusivity on life to be unique. I suspect it is unique and the book is still out on weather that is a good thing or a bad thing.

It's like looking for smoke signals when we, I mean aliens, are using radio... Keep banging the rocks together, guys, and maybe one day you'll have something interesting to say to us, er, I mean aliens; and in a method we, um, I mean they can appreciate...

People of Faith have a logical idea of what Life is all about.

I am a great fan of Eric Metaxes. However, after listening to several of the 'Miracles' CDs in my car, I have to say, I find this book rather laborious and exhausting to follow....so I've shelved it. Instead I'm listening to Tim Keller's book (on CD) on 'Prayer.' It too is complex and can only be taken by me in small bits. But so far, I'm making it a little further. I also love, love, love Randy Alcorn's CD book called 'HEAVEN'. Wow, and double wow! Guess it's all about what draws a person and feels poignant because they're all great Christian writers.

There has been one signal found that has puzzled radio astronomers, since 1977, Perkins Observatory /Ohio State Big WOW signal. Do the research. Then say at least one signal we know that is not to be natural cause, but with some intelligence.

Exactly right, and with every advancement in technology, every far reaching glimpse into the latest discovery, each incremental revelation, it's as if God is saying, "That's good, but can't you hurry up? You haven't seen anything yet.There's so much more I can't wait to show you!"

in our galaxy alone there's c. 400 billion stars and trillions of planets. At a minimum, there's millions of life-sustaining planets and, at any given time, quite a bit of intelligent life. The problem is: the Nuclear Funnel. Most "intelligent" life-forms get to about where we are now - crack the atom, fooling with their own genetic code - and destroy themselves, i.e. never reach very far into space. The "wow" signal, which was real enough, probably came via a beacon or unmanned probe from a long-extinct civilization; at least we'd better hope so, because we're in no shape to confront genuine space-aliens for a good long time. Might be best to think of it all as...God's Quarantine System

I don't see why life on other planets makes a case for or against God. The complexity of the universe, ok maybe that helps, but it's not a central argument. The key thing is that God (the creator of everything that exists) is not bound by time nor space. Time and Space are things, some of the tools he made, home made tools in his pocket. When we try to impose our limitations (our limitations of understanding, and our limited space and time) upon God, we are playing childish games, playing at being God.
