long story short, one of the really basic building blocks for living cells has been found on a comet. lends credit to earth being "seeded" by various comet/meteorite strikes in the distant past

What would life in space have to do with belief in God? There is no mutual exclusivity there.

Religion is philisophical, and a simple way to discuss truth and the question of why we are here. Material science discusses the laws of nature.

Or, as a much, much, much smarter man than I said:

“The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?” -Stephen Hawking

p.s. I'll change your "I am rampage's bitch" title if you want, although it still makes me lolzer.

i happen to believe this

no reason Allah couldn't shoot an amino-acid-filled comet onto the earth billions of years ago, and no reason He couldn't do the same on infinite other planets

in fact, no reason He couldn't have called the universe into existence in a big bang either



and in case you're missing my subtext: people that use faith to shrug off science are morons

There are a ton of Osama pics out there if you want to upload one. I've added one for you for now. Let me know if you dislike it.
