Time to jump back into the conversation lol. Anyway, I believe you missed my point in my post. I did not really say life was so rare a thing, but that all life on earth contributes to a cycle and to a balance. However human beings seem to be that anomaly. We have to power to change everything, but why is our species the only ones capable of that? For such things as higher intelligence out there I also agree is possible. Hell, as far as anyone knows, Aliens could have helped the change in our species and they are the ones we see as God (History channel, Ancient Aliens lol good shit). All I'm saying is I believe something other then natural evolution influenced our higher degree of intelligence and humanity. Our ability to recognize death and life. That is the true question to be answered.
and thats still off topic..............
Its connected to my first post, and not off topic at all. Read the conversation at hand. Also, if you understand forums and threads, then you know how easily they get off subject lol but im surprised how on subject this thread has stayed
It never stays on subject, just look at the islam section lulz.
But proving religion and whether its good or not is different.
That is a never ending question, that requires people to examine all sorts of angles and different subjects. The topic of Religion in general connections to science, afterlife, evolution, aliens, universe, etc. etc. so honestly, the subject is still on point, just at a different stage in its discussion
You know there's a problem with the history channel when they run programs like "Ancient Aliens", unscholarly nonsense is being put up to satisfy the credulous demographic.

Not really, they show speakers from both sides of the arguement. There just presenting information people have caught onto and don't take a side. Theres nothing wrong with expanding your knowledge of things around the world and see what other people may think of them. If it really interests you then you can further your own research like a smart person would, and come to your own conclusion. But then again you can also just change the channel
Religion might not be. If you really believe in something you got all the right to do so. I'd rather say that the church is bad. The church manipulates/have manipulated people just to gain power and wealth.
And before someone points out that I've mistaken myself, no I mean what I say. Religion and belief do not equal church .
no, its not religion thats bad its just how some idiots use it
You almost Got it dude but religion is not bad. it is the leader who is usually bad. most of the time the leader uses religion to fool his members. i.e earning power and money..
