hahaha no, I'm not saying anything :) I don't know.. I was just pondering the possibility.
Besides, we estimate that life "appeared" on earth about 4 billion years ago. That would be about (4x1,000x1,000x10) "great"s in there :)

--- Quote ---Initially I would like I show this in the consultations my religion, I am agnostic. Den ej'maj angst teenage tnpico-FRESCO-j'!-EST-IT' cools---be-agnostic. I really mean, I do not only know. Sometimes I want to know with I will be because I like him to discuss and never I will not find for the abroad rightly when I am I live, or if I am procurarando really from a answer. With the exception this, I had a chain of thoughts this morning my way in order to I work. It is surprenant in with that in in known history the person had there always significances "jlevj of feed-in, or small" in certain of other unknown feed-in. In history where there it has the cultures that they do not have in deed a significance which it realises world all we as the time, is simply surprenant that I cannot find no reference in a culture that does not have a such abridged significance something that a feed-in ubiquitous. Maintaining in that in the reception other theories atheist they like where we have come jtrangers and ayto'es we apply in history the person, it appears a such feasible way if you consider jtrangers the aprosdjo'rjstoy way, that jtrangers in ayto'es they have planted here billions of years they have. Now it is whoever a affair with regard to because. Experience of biology of High School perhaps? Does the last possibility in order to profyla'ttw a race dying before his (ours) the world have ekragej' in in oblivion? Open the street a colony of his game outcasts that makes a world that no one didn't have that be vivant in in the fear dektre ridiculed and chastised for those that it considers interior (yeah, does the one that work)? Who knows? In all case, News-darwinians they would be eytyhe's s blather in at approach how much perceptible that it makes so a microscopic organism flies clean years through the space antj' their entirety$$lmulti-celled>, nay, multi-organed the organisms of cause of more less energy would make the examination and most realistic than this is. Then I begin in order to I think at approach, if you consider in the theory News-darwinian, how many we have evolved with the time of ayto'wn j!nicos-celled organisms, in blobs slime, in compliqujes creatures with mpra'tsa, the legs, and the real brains that in ayto'es they leave to think for in (good certain of us aprosdjo'rjstoy way). It could someonethingalien forecast that this does reach? If thus, the foreigner agency of government has applied partial type of theory of chaos * algorithm it forecasts the result does present itself his head foreigner? Now certain your have can syghystoy'n with "bunny-orelhas above. You I make that because if you consider in in the theory and in in a chaos apply this as the brain and the humain body you work, I would know that all healthy us it is a team of reactions chemical chain. That is asked chaos lives in each one us, and alone us is not capable the above arrival with anything arbitrary. The simple significance randomness is completion extrangeiro our entire general infrastructure. Digress... and as the compensation, I will show my aim and will finish this entire thesis: If we can't be arbitrary, we really can create anything arbitrary? Of course something also elementary that aleatsrio-nj!mero-gerador appears naturally, mentally, jmotionnellement, and impossible tccnica. And finally if this is the case, is the same truth in other way? If we aren't arbitrary, we have because it is impossible for that jtrangers are arbitrary, or are certain different cause which superior tccnica it isn't arbitrary? Hmmm.. Apenas mja ske'bi. - sab * as omitted, it was vrai it has used the theory of chaos you come above with, his he is fresh that we thought excessively! Insane supports my populations in in the humaine race!

It's actually the simplest answer anyone can come up with to explain the unknown. "Event X happened and I cannot explain why or how, therefore Something must be responsbile for it". Doesn't take much intelligence to come to that kind of conclusion. Even animals react this way.

That's a pretty good analogy and I can see why "intelligent beings" like humans may have thought that way initially, but I can't see why we've still hung onto these ideas so long, especially through the past couple thousand years. Great technological, physiological and psychological acheivements have been made since the dawn of man that would seem to make us reason it out a lot more than we already have.
...and it's when you reason it out that it seems so abstract, especially when you compare it to an idea like time.
When you think about it logically (read: scientifically), you can't use "faith" because it's not based on what we (read: scientists) view as fact. Without faith, all you have is "I don't know otherwise, so it must exist.". That doesn't make sense and makes the idea abstract.
