It’s hard to just have a little faith

Re Probe to explore Mars launched by European, Russian space agencies, March 14, 2016

The forthcoming ESA mission won’t find life on Mars or anywhere in the solar system; no bacteria, no single cell. Modern microbiology shows, due to its complexity, to be virtually impossible for life to arise by chance. Scientists can’t explain how life arose from non-life, or been able to create life from non-life.

They say give them time and they’ll have an answer. We’re expected to accept it by faith.

Scientists can’t explain how the universe arose from nothing, what caused the big bang or where all matter and energy came from. We’ve never seen anything arise from nothing, or been able to produce anything from nothing.

They can’t explain how the universe, and everything in it, arranges itself in an orderly fashion, from galaxies right down to atoms and molecules. They say give them time and they’ll find an answer. We’re expected to accept it by faith.

Carl Sagan says the cosmos is all that is, was or ever will be. For that to be a scientific fact, one making the assertion would’ve needed to be there from beginning of time and be there at the end. He’d need to be present everywhere in the universe at the same time and know all there is to know. Sounds like God.

We can’t prove God’s existence by scientific means. Nor can we prove our existence comes through natural means. Both require steps of faith. Sadly, naturalists have the largest megaphone.

They don’t want to believe in a creator. The idea is repugnant to them. Joe Prochazka, Oshawa
