well, that is all nice and great, but i don't think you have any idea
what you are talking about.  how can you know what religion is all
about when you have never truly believed in it? no, you don't have any
idea what you are talking about.  how does evolution explain life? not
very well, i would say.  the complexities of life created by random
chemistry.....my thoughts on this could fill volumes, and so cannot be
fully presented here. but let me say this.  the law of chances does
not exist. it is simply a "law" we have devolped to understand why
somethings happen less frequently than others, as our minds are not
designed to understand science (they are designed to deal with simply
living, as early man did, not theorizing) and the law of chances helps
us to communicate that one thing will probably happen or not happen.
there are things that are simply impossible. light will never simply
slow down.  one might say "it will, all things are possible" but it
won't. the speed is constant, always, regardless. and so the argument
that there are so many worlds and so much time that it had to happen
some where is invalid--the chance of a lightning striking water with
all of the right chemicals in the exact correct arangment, all with
the correct (and complex, might i add) enzyme to decode the resulting
RNA into an organism is impossible. completely. for one thing, there
were no enzymes before there were organisms---but there were no
organisisms before enzymes to decode their RNA....so what came first,
the enzyme or the cell?
you cannot use science to understand the origins of the universe, as
science is the study of the universe, and its laws, those laws cannot
be applied outside of the universe. arguing that science alone can
lead to understanding of reality is like arguing that knowing the
rules of soccer qualifies you for a job in sociology--it is argued
that the big bang created the universe, and that precurring big bangs
created later ones. but there had to be a first big bang, and what
created teh quarks to compress the atoms into the first big bang?
science cannot explain this, as science's realm of authority begins
immediatly after the first big bang.
furthermore, what is conciesness? the electron theory cannot explain
conciesness, as our brain should act like any other computer, simply
taking information and processing it....but we have a window, a way of
watching and even illogicaly altering the responses to this
information.  this, i beleive, is our soul.
