Bummer. Still in the speculation stage. Wonder if Someone could ever help with the light barrier thing...

I consider Tipler and Borrow in The Anthropic Cosmological Principle old, 1988. Some of the others are a little old too.Originally posted by OingoBoingo View PostLast edited by shunyadragon; 02-27-2014, 06:26 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Probability equals the number of wanted outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes. Consider a probability of .0000001 (that's six zeroes, ten million to one) to find planets with life in the habitable zone. Multiply that times the number of habitable planets in the Milky Way (estimated ~40 billion). That's 4,000 planets with life, just in the Milky Way. Claiming statistical unlikelihood on the scale of the universe isn't saying much.Originally posted by OingoBoingo View PostI'm not here anymore.Comment

For some reason, I have never really seen the cosmic insignificance of earth as a theological problem, though I imagine how it may have been jarring in centuries past to some. The one issue that I would struggle with the theological implications of is the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life, should this development come about. (And by "struggle with", I simply mean I am not immediately sure how I would approach it, though truth is of course never to be feared.)"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard RavenhillComment

Biblically it is very much a problem, humanity is at the center of a very small universe. In the first century BC Lucretius had it pretty accurate. Consider the worldview of Christianity that the rest of our world were heathen barbarians. Surprise! They are as intelligent and spiritual if not more so then Christianity.Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostGlendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

It is only a problem for biblical literalism that extends to a degree not practiced by any but a small, fringe minority of Christians. If you want to find the Christians that this is problematic for, you have to look for Christians who adhere to geocentrism.Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostComment

I don't see how. The general thrust of the passage where God speaks in Job is that humanity is insignificant compared to God and his creation, which would seem to be the opposite of what you are asserting here (and I'm honestly not sure what your basis is for the assertion).Originally posted by shunyadragon View Post"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Being heathen barbarians and being intelligent and spiritual are not mutually exclusive.Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostMicah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Comment

While I agree, I will note that many Christians (historically, and even today) take that view. It is NOT supported by the Bible, and is instead a view that stems from extra-biblical cultural issues.Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostComment

Evidence? Give quotes in context. Where do you think it says that heathens are any more stupid than anyone else.Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostIf it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!Comment
