How come if the big bang happened there is only such intricacy and awe on this Earth & no other planet in the universe???
In my previous question many people questioned how I could believe in God and not in the 'Big Bang' when more proof point to that theory... on word...faith!
Who answers all of those prayers? How do miracles happen? It’s a shame that all you people who don’t believe in God just think that there is nothingness after you die as well! You have no ambition further than this world. I doubt I could live like that! It’s pretty sad. However I can not try & convert you to be Christian if you don't believe in God, but that it is why I strongly do.
Many people said that the big bang was created by God... Nice theory... but how could a bang have produced such a intricate & beautiful world, with such immaculate life forms... and by the way I don't believe in Evolution either… anyway the wonderful awe in this world could have only been created by a being with power,

So much for you to learn.
It is quite sad really that there are answers to every question that you pose but you will never get to know them. That is the true tragedy of religious belief.

So... you have been to EVERY other planet in the universe??? What is the Moon like? What is Mars like? What is Jupiter like? You don't seem to realize that complexity exists everywhere, and that we have a long way to go before we can say that the Earth is the only place in the universe that is complex - we need to explore thousands of planets and star systems before we will even begin to know if the Earth is the only place in the universe that is "complex".
As to not believing in evolution - I'll bet that you don't even really know what it means in the scientific sense of the word, and have only been told the religious propaganda as to what it means. If you believe that evolution means that "we came from monkeys", you need to go back to school. And if you state the stagnant claim that it is "only a theory" you need to find out what the word theory means in a SCIENTIFIC sense of the word.
And as far as God not creating the "Big Bang" my response to you is this: you are a mere mortal - you don't get to decide how the universe was created. If "God" used the "Big Bang" to create the universe, you don't have to believe it, just like belief in evolution is not necessary to live a life on Earth, but until you actually know what evolution REALLY is you really aren't qualified to make comments on whether or not its real. And by the way, you don't need to believe in evolution - it will get along fine without you. Not believing something doesn't mean that it is false - it only means that YOU don't believe in it.
As to this world HAVING to have been created by a designer I have two words for you: "prove it" - publish a scientific paper that shows that your theory is correct, and not the thousands of other ones that contradict your beliefs. Have fun!
Lastly, just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they are non-Christian, etc. There are plenty of educated intelligent Christians that know what evolution REALLY is, and how it REALLY works, and that the "Big Bang" is no longer considered a theory, but a fact, because the evidence is overwhelming. You don't get to decide how "God" runs the universe - so get over it.

"No other planet in the universe..."? That's a mighty big claim for a single-planet dweller, isn't it? Yesterday, an intelligent Christian questioned how I could know there was no god in the entire universe unless I knew everything about the universe, and he was right - my experience is rooted to this one planet, and there may be gods out there that I don't know about. I'm happy to admit I can't know what happens in the vastness of the universe. So firstly, can you tell me how you know that the earth is the only planet with such intricacy and awe, because until you can do that, I can't accept your first premise.
Secondly, the world is only "beautiful" because we've learned to appreciate it as such. What I mean is, the world doesn't think it's "beautiful", it's just doing its thing. That we find it beautiful is irrelevant to the world.
And thirdly, yes, I can see that if you take evolution out of the equation, the world's incredible diversity would seem a bit of a stretch for a "big bang" to produce. But that's the point. The big bang didn't produce a universe complete and complex as we now see it. It produced chemical chaos. Only over billions of years did stars and planets and gravitational systems emerge, and only then did life follow them. And there is no bigger picture to see here - life wasn't designed as a whole canvas. I mean, the only reason the earth had enough of an oxygenated atmosphere to support complex life originally was because of things called stromatalites (coral-like things), essentially "farting" oxygen out, to quote Bill Bryson. They didn't, and don't, care that this is phenomenally useful to any other creatures. The dung beetle doesn't care that it performs a vital function for other creatures, it's just doing what it needs to do to survive and thrive. Cows don't produce milk because they know humans drink it. There's no overall connection between living cretures unless they develop a symbiotic relationship, and even then, it's just a case of creatures doing what they need to do to prosper. It's only we, with our ability to view the whole tapestry of life and our fondness for patterns even when they aren't there, who see this as in any way complex, and yes, it inspires awe in us, because one of the things we do best is learn from our surroundings. This doesn't "prove" the existence of a designing intelligence in any way.
I respect your faith, and support your right to exercise it, but the reality of the world doesn't support the idea that it could "only have been created by a being with power."
Peace.

So you're saying " I don't understand how the big bang could have created the universe, but instead of reading up on it or asking someone about it to try and learn something, I'm just going to believe it didn't happen and that god made the universe." I can't believe that intelligent human beings still think like this in this day and age.
And by the way, have you been to every other planet in the universe? How do you know that our one is unique?

NO Other planet in the UNIVERSE?
are you Mad?
all you have to do is look at HUBBLE pictures. There are more than 7 sixtellion stars in the sky. Please think again about your statement, and reconsider what it means to be a planet or a solar system within a galaxy within the universe.
LIFE on other planets is an absolute truth. And only limited by the imagination of the Godhead.
everytime a big bang happens, another galaxy is created, NOT all of them live and die at the same time. And yes, one galaxy can form side by side with another galaxy that was already there.

U seem to be hopelessly confused. They have sold u the god theory, christian theory and u seem to lap it all, and even without proof. U seem to want life after death, but are not willing to live your actual life fully and correctly. It is better to know the truth, then to believe anything, and repent later, because the beliefs were not correct. U have a right to see and believe, st. thomas excuse me.

Sounds like ID to me...
Unfortunately, your assumptions highlight a complete lack of knowledge. Even intelligent design requires a small amount of "intelligence" in order to have a meaningful conversation.
Maybe have a look at:
http://www.ucadia.com and how the universe was created by God first before you jump into creating such questions/statements.
Trust me, it will help your arguments!
Cheers

Sure there are other planets even greater than this. To be honest this place is a POS
