Thinking about space

[Half]

Picture a dandelion.  After the flower blooms, it's seeds transform into wisps that are then carried by the wind and redeposited somewhere else to hopefully bloom, thrive, and thusly carry on the species.  The same process could be ongoing on more of a "galactic" level.  Seeds, micro-organisms, space bacteria, etc.... could be traveling from other solar systems, meteors, planets, etc... and being redeposited on our planet, thusly affecting our life cycle and evolution.  It could be a trickle down effect and we could be toward the source of the trickle or we could be billions of years away- just a baby on the block.

God doesn't allow this!!
We are the only children of God!!!
This is darksided talk!!!
I am a God Warrior!!!

i'm not religious, so i don't know, but is it possible that god created life on another planet other than earth, and that life has spread to us through galactic pollenization?

I believe that nothing is real...I'm just a baby and I am having a dream during one of my naps.

Even the great C. S. Lewis postulated the possiblity of other worlds.  He said one reason he wrote The Chrinicles of Narnia was to answer the question "What might Christ be like, if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He has actually done in ours?"
So I think other worlds could be possible.  I don't think we trickled down from them, but THEY could be possible and maybe in some way we could or will be affected by meeting them one day.

wow OT ramblings are quite philosophical today.

I think that both Christians and scientific thinkers believe in the theory of the big bang to some extent.  But I think that your theory of the pollenation of planets holds water.  That's why scientist look for water on other planets.  water is the pollen that creates life.  I think there is life on other planets but we'll never find it, not in our lifetime.  And if anyone ever finds us I doubt they're going to try to kill us like in Independence Day or War of the Worlds.

i think it's totally possible that life was given "birth" here on earth from a single cell that was deposited here after traveling through space as cosmic pollen.

"Deem not life a thing of consequence for look at the yawning void of future limitless space and see the past"

Dan Reed read that quote among others before the planetarium show in 2001.  I don't think I agree with it, but it always stuck with me.

Yours is a decent theroy.  I'd say your about Half right.

There was a show about this very theory on TLC.  It's a legitimate theory and stands along side Big Bang and evolution as very plausible occurances.  

I believe, if God exists, we cannot possibly comprehend what God is.  So we make God into a person, like us.  But obviously God is much more than that.  I think it's very possible that God is in control of everything that is happening in the universe and, life on earth may have been part of God's plan but the way life developed on earth looks like evolution to us.  Darwin can hold hands with intelligent design.

 Darwin can hold hands with intelligent design.

I believe the same thing.  Both sides think that the universe started from nothing and became something.  And they both believe that there is an order to the world which is at least partially knowable for human beings.  The only beef they have with each is the words they use.  One side calls it evolution, the other calls it God's plan or intelligent design.  It's semantical debate that has permeated our schools and our courts.  

Why do the majority of people have to be fucking retarded?  (How's that for a philosophical question?)

It's all part of God's plan to make us smarties feel better about ourselves.

bill cosby's right. God must have a sense of humor.

[ratsprayer]

the theory of big bang is something all christians should believe because it follows that same asinine principle as our existence created by the snap of a finger.  im horrible at physics, but the logistics of the big bang is not possible.  the universe would have collapsed in upon itself without question from the pure mass of it all.  

why are we here?

because we're here, roll the bones.
