Its directly related to drake's equation. Actually that may be exactly what it is because they are basically the same.

There was a nice youtube video I saw once of Bill Nye talking about the equation. Another one with Nye describing how he's ashamed that there are people out there who claim to be scientists yet believe the earth is 6000 years old is a good watch.

Just hard to believe that after all we know we still get people insisting the earth is 6k years old and that we all came from two idiots who ate a magic fruit in a garden of perfection.

Then we have people like nocturne who take idiocy one step further by cherry picking from their own religious text and then waving it in people's faces and insisting that they are dumb for not seeing 'the truth'. You've got to be fucking kidding me. It takes a special brand of stupid to act this way.

"The bible says its metaphorically so based on my interpretation, and the proof is in the fact that cells, ecosystems, and stars exist and are impossible to comprehend by stupid people like me." ........................what?

The fact that we're still taking a book that was created by dirt eating Jews several thousand years ago in literally (almost) BFE is among the most hilarious/disturbing/unfucking believable things that I have found in life.

Now, don't get me wrong I don't mind the Jews as long as they keep their religious shit turned down to an acceptable level, but the fact is that just like most of their neighboring civilizations they were dirt eating clods in comparison to say the Han Dynasty. Why God continually decided to show up in the middle of fucking no where really beats me. Also the fact he has done a lot less significant work since the invention of instant communication and video capture causes a lot of questions.

Dirt consumption confirmed impetus for seeing God

There is scientific evidence of Gods involvement all over the place. All science even does is reverse engineer the systems which govern the universe. Where did these things come from? The only logical conclusion is that they came from a being of infinite intelligence. There is a direct relationship between how complex something is and how intelligent the person that made it is. For instance look at the difference between cars now and cars when they were first invented. Now that we have become more intelligent and have a far better understanding of how things like aerodynamics, engines etc work, we are able to make much better cars. This same logic can literally be applied to every single thing a human has ever made proving there is a direct correlation between complexity and intelligence.

Now let's take a look at a star. Essentially it's just a massive self-sustaining nuclear reactor that is capable of generating energy for billions of years. Scientists have been able to reverse engineer the processes that allow a star to do what it does, only on a much smaller and far less efficient scale. The more we learn about nuclear fission and other related sciences the better the nuclear reactor we are able to make. So knowing that a star is really just a much more advanced version of a nuclear reactor that man is capable of making, doesn't it stand to reason that it was created by a much more intelligent being? I know common sense and atheists go together like oil and water but seriously this is such basic shit that even a 1st grader could grasp it.

Inserting God into the equation has nothing to do with our lack of understanding something but actually the exact opposite. We have such a good understanding that the only way most things are even possible is there HAS to be a being with seemingly infinite intelligence. How can something so unbelievably advanced like a star, just form randomly and for no reason? Nuclear fission requires an extremely advanced knowledge of multiple scientific fields and requires extremely precise calculations, so precise in fact that you literally have to be completely brain dead to think it could ever happen by chance.
the above post is noteworthy for its bold and decisive departure from the bounds of logic

press on, young trailblazer

ps if that guy thinks nuclear fission is so complicated that it could only happen via deity, he's gonna be super excited when he reaches the 20th century in his history book
