# six

so far this is the best weekend EVAR!  my dad came back into town from California earlier this week and had a fantastic saturday night =D  but i bet you guys don't wanna hear bout all that.

QUESTION OF THE DAY! what would alternate earths be like? small minute changes in our planets early history. say we didnt have a moon to change the tides. well i did some research and found that the tides wouldnt be the only things effected! without the moon there would be no life!

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4786-no-moon-no-life-on-earth-suggests-theory.html

here is a link to which explain how we wouldn't be here. i personally like the doubling up section, it adds yet another theory to how life began here on our lonely planet.  i have heard many but i keep my mind open until one of them is proven with solid evidence. i know people that get offended by free thinkers such as myself when i have intelligent conversations with others people. the offended only argue "god did it! why cant you except that?!" I'm not trying to bash religious people in any way. i have had a great many intellectual conversations with religious people but its the arrogant that want nothing to do but argue with me that really grind my gears. i enjoy intellectual conversations not arguments, i see an argument as unproductive and a waste of my time. i have had people over hear me explaining my beliefs and all they interrupt and shove religion in my face. i don't see why we cant peacefully have a conversation where we can take turns explaining our views. any one else have similar experiences?

  1. i believe the set "religions" have had to much contact by man and not enough contact with god.

  6. I'm not very religious, but I do think that the universe is so vast and complex that we will never will be truly be able to understand it. That's what Einstein taught us right? That physics, science, and mathematics can lead us to certain paths, but ultimately leave more questions than they answer- and so on and so forth. Idk- physics is all about perception and things we see as linear, such as time, are not even remotely close to the reality. Anything is possible really.

  7. Quite frankly, for all we know, if our earth had been an inch further from the sun, life might have not grown.

    It's pretty unfathomable just how damn lucky we are to exist whatsoever.

    I'll give you a follow, it'd rock if you could return the favour.

  10. ya rationalism and the ability to let another speak is a sign of intelligence and maturity. someone starts that shit busting in dumping it down your throat....I that situation I just put my hand up say enough. end of `argument`. I feel the same way as you.

  12. I know you might have heard this before but the balance of life on our little planet is so perfect, so unique that if any number of things had been different none of us would be here.

    If you arent religious just thinking about the perfect situation our planet is in compared to the billions of planets out there really gives you pause.
