Size of, well, everything

Well the Earth is not going to be destroyed for many billions of years yet. By that time technology and space travel will have moved on in ways even our scifi has yet to imagine.

Why not 10 earths orbiting the Sun? Because it's impossible for 10 earth like planets to orbit a star like ours as they would have to be on the same orbit and that on it's own is less likely than life elsewhere in our own galaxy :p

As I said, even if/when we get warp-drive tech, there are mostly uninhabitable planets in the universe, so if there is an intelligent designer, why would he create a universe of uninhabitable planets? Also, my 10 perfect-planets example was a scenario only possible if there was a god - I was saying if there was one it would make more sense for him to give us more Earths rather than Mars, Jupiter, Venus etc which are useless to us.

this blows my mind even more (in reference to the pillars of creation):



true mind ****, its happened but it hasnt to us.....gets you thinking about everything happens regardless of what you do and fate :(

First time I've heard that one. But yeah, the fact that because of the limited speed of light, the further we look into the universe, the more we go back in time. Kinda like how the Hubble Ultra Deep Field shows us the very first galaxies that were formed from the big bang.
 
Religion is a human concept from thousands of years ago.

This stuff is what we actually see physically.

I know which I'll believe.

Indeed, which is why I was asking him.

Religion is harder to believe.

It was just a very leading question, as if you thought it impossible that he might believe in religion, hence my response.

I don't believe in god or anything, but the reality is so utterly nuts that religion suddenly doesn't seem that crazy. If you see what I mean?

Pointless point anyway.

you know what, i would say that we are far from insignificant. in such a massive universe, we are intelligent life. out of millions if not billions of stars, gas giants, rocky planets and lots of vacuum, we are an intelligent species.

we may not be unique (there may be other intelligent species), but if anything we are one of the most significant things in this universe. without intelligence to understand and comprehend the universe it is although probably the wrong choice of word meaningless.

Well if Life on this planet was kick started from fragments depositied by meteorites millions of years ago (evidence from past and present suggests this is the case) then the likelihood of life elsewhere is increased even further than imagined.

In our own galaxy alone there are many exoplanets being found that could support life as they're in the goldilocks zone within their solar systems.
