So spreading the results accross the age and number of stars makes a VERY sparse distribution - Star Trek is sooo very wrong). Since 1961, a lot of biology, physics and cosmology need to be taken into account and modified equations are given. For a detailed explanation\specualtion, see http://frombob.to/drake.html#fpdet<BR/><BR/>OK so much for science's take (basically - "I don't know". Now how about the Christian (and Jewish) version (creationists or liberal)? Here are two reasons (among others) I reject BOTH religious views based on Genesis:<BR/><BR/>1) The Genesis writer(s) didn't understand the nature of darkness. They said God created light (somehow before the sun and stars were made) and then "divided the light from the darkness" (1:3-4). Light, however, is not something that can be separated from darkness. Light is an electromagnetic radiation from an energy source like the sun or stars, and darkness is merely the absence of light. Without light, there will automatically be darkness. <B>No god</B> is needed to separate or divide light from darkness. We know that today; the prescientific Genesis writer(s) didn't. <BR/><BR/>If God had inspired (aka liberal view) these texts, although it could not have inspired a technical liturgy because the words did not yet exist, God surely would have dictated or inspired text that <I> wasn't out and out erroneous </I>. <BR/><BR/>2) The seventh day of <B>REST</B> is a confirmation of the mythical assumptions of those who wrote the genesis account. God is suppose to be omnipotent and omniscient. Yet, God took the seventh day resting as well as figuring out if its creation was good? It violates the very definition that an omnipotent (all-powerful) being ever needs to rest. It is also untrue that an omniscient (all-knowing) being ever needs to wonder, ponder or think: by definition such a being simply knows instantly. So, we immediately arrive at the conclusion that the seventh day is allegorical, symbolic and mythical: The reasons stated in the Genesis account are not direct recordings of real events, but stories and reworking of older (probably) Hindu myths. <BR/><BR/>For the liberal interpetation of the seventh day of <B>REST</B> is that God wanted the seventh day to be holy; therefore God rested on it. HOWEVER - God must by definition be the absolute truth, so it would not be necessary for God to rest in order to make the seventh day holy. To make the seventh day holy God could have inspired Moses to preach "Take the last day of seven days (aka Saturday) to rest" rather than using a illogical seventh day of rest as told by Genesis. As a omniscient being, God cannot be illogical; therefore the Genesis seven day or indeterminate "period" creation story is false.<BR/><BR/>- FastthumbsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-55665301360778078702008-11-13T22:28:00.000-05:002008-11-13T22:28:00.000-05:00Oh..and Anon aka "Mark" ...
