Is There Life Elsewhere in the Universe? Is There a God?
Life elsewhere? I doubt it...
God? I think so, I mean looking at the human body alone gives me enough reason to think it couldn't have been evolved by accident. Each organ in the boy has a specific function and is designed just for that. It's so complicated and beautiful. I just can't convince myself we weren't designed. So I guess I'm not an atheist, though it's cool to be one nowadays.

There is in fact quite a bit more justification for believeing that there is other life out in the universe then to ascribe the need for a god to design our biology.
One can choose to believe whatever they may - whatever makes them comfortable - and as long as it doesn't restrict or interfere with the goings on of others then I suppose no harm. And of course your belief cannot be specifically disproven - I will give you that...oh and its not just accident....its oppurtunity...just as germs evolve into more resistant germs because those that failed to died off - biological forms and organisms evolve and persist exactly because they are succcesful at such. We are amazing creatures - certainly - but far from perfection...and far from the final result of evoltuion I imagine...though I suspect the next significant phases of evolution might be more bio-mechanical - silicon (or some better substitute) and nanotech and what have you....
You think its cool to be an Atheist now a days??? I would love that, but no. Its only in certain circles, not within the general public (in this country anyway).
I have taken so much crap for being an Atheist from different people here. Its really sad how determined people are to bring independent thinking down.

Yes agreed - we are entering some very scary times...
No - I think things are really getting crazy - with conservative (and crazy/nasty) attitudes - potential limits on personal freedoms and regarding conformity.
For a while now I've noticed that our traditionally accepted "decades" are in fact the wrong unit of measure. I do see a 10 year grouped pattern in human events - but for the longest time now - going back - I would argue that paradigm shifts have occured on the fives. Thus culturally I think we are entering a new (and potentially frightening) era - the 2005-2014 era...as 1995-2004, 1985-1994, 1975-1984, 1965-1974, 1955-1964, 1945-1954, 1935-1944...and so on and so forth could be considered as blocks of similar time - culturally - just look at popular music over time - to me (a student of such) it follows the pattern...and the World Wars, civil rights movement and such - all seem to fall within these divisional eras of paradigm shift. Sure it ain't scientific perhaps - but its what I've obsered. SO I think we are on the cusp here - and yeah - I think its getting worse. Its not just Nov 4 2004 - a day which shall live in infamy - its more then this....
