Just think if something went wrong and our sun's rays were intensified even the slightest bit... our earth would burn up! Our forests would burn immediately! The earth's oceans would evaporate violently and the consequent storms would be fiercely abundant, merciless and totally destructive. Life would no longer be sustainable upon the earth. The sun is an astonishing distance of 93,000,000 miles away from the earth. If the sun were merely a few million miles closer, our earth's temperatures would rise drastically and could no longer sustain life. There is no way that anyone with a working brain can reasonably deny the existence of a supernatural Creator Who made the universe. We see incredible INTELLIGENCE in all of creation, and intelligence cannot come from an accidental, chaotic, cataclysmic, Big Bang! We see incredible DESIGN in all of creation, which shouts loud and clear that there is a Creator. To deny God as our Maker is just as foolish as to deny that a complex Swiss watch just happened, without any designer or maker.

The truth is that men love their sins, walking in darkness (John 1:1-12), and hate the light, who is Christ (John 8:12). The latest trend is for the wicked to claim that aliens created mankind, who they say are our gods. Certainly, by very definition God Himself is extraterrestrial (not of the earth), and is an alien, respectively. God doesn't need a spaceship, teleport technology (like on Star Trek), or all the other things which Hollywood has put in our minds concerning monstrous aliens and Martians.

*By the way, the creature designer of the popular Alien series starring Sigourney Weaver is a devout Satanist. The alien creature is patterned after Baphomet, the horned goat head, Satan. The ram, or goat's head, is a mockery of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

The summer in Australia* may be hot, but it can still support life.

Except for the pedophile who writes on Jesus-is-Savior and Jesus-is-Precious.

Not this argument again...

The latest trend is for the wicked to claim that aliens created mankind, who they say are our gods.

Which is infinitely more plausible than the Christian god actually existing, which would violate all laws of physics. You see, hyper-intelligent and powerful extraterrestrial life might actually exist.

Annnnnnnnd I'm pretty sure this isn't a new trend, but a long-established science fiction trope.

God doesn't need a spaceship, teleport technology (like on Star Trek), or all the other things which Hollywood has put in our minds concerning monstrous aliens and Martians.

Star Trek already told me that God doesn't need a spaceship, see Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

By the way, the creature designer of the popular Alien series starring Sigourney Weaver is a devout Satanist. The alien creature is patterned after Baphomet, the horned goat head, Satan.

Bullshit. H.R. Giger (RIP) was too creative to rip off Baphomet, and I doubt he was a Satanist. Plus the source here doesn't exactly seem credible.

Our sun's rays do vary quite a bit all the time, silly. Have you ever seen a close up of the sun? It is constantly throwing matter into space. The effect of the sun ray is also varied with the seasons; right now the North hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, so we have hot weather up here (very, very hot, as a matter of fact), and the Southern hemisphere is having cold weather.

Check out the forests in the Sahara. Oh wait; you can't as they have "burned up".

All that you are describing, Davey-boy, will happen eventually, when our sun turns into a red giant and swallows most of its planets. We have perhaps another billion years before all water is gone from Earth and it becomes inhospitable. If the Earth were a few million miles closer or farther away, there would either be very different life evolved on it, or there would be no life at all. Check out Mars; it might have had water on it in the past, and maybe even some form of life. It doesn't now. Was it a failed experiment of God, or what?

There is no way that anyone with a working brain can reasonably accept the existence of a supernatural Creator Who. Wait, is this The Doctor we're talking about? Oh well, then I accept, of course...

We see incredible non-intelligence in all of life, it's all a case of "good enough for now" and "oops! Oh well, it seems to work". If a creator did it, it's someone like Homer (no, not the Greek chap; Mr Simpson of course), or Howard and Leonard from Big Bang Theory. Why is the esophagus so close to the trachea, causing thousands of deaths of choking each year? Is that the incredible DESIGN you're talking about? Why do we have inside-out eyes, while the squids have eyes turned the right way? Are they more important than us to the Creator Who?

The truth is that Religious Right men love their sins, like cheating on their wives, raping children (Hello, Dave), remarry, cut their hair, wearing poly-blend and working on the Sabbath.

Have you even seen an "Alien" alien, David? It's not a horned goat, it looks more like a penis-headed skeleton.

This is rumour control, here are the facts [/Brian Glover]:

The dog-born Xenomorph in "Alien III". The Predalien in "Alien vs. Predator"/"Alien vs. Predator: Requiem". 'Xenomorph'. That should give you a clue for free, Davey-boy: As in it takes on the basic anatomical characteristics of it's host species.

In all of the films/books/comics/games/merchandise etc, I've yet to see one example of a Facehugger infecting a goat, therefore use of a worse-than bad analogy, your argument is literally invalid. [/hyper-sarcasm]

...look, why dress up your so-called 'Opinions' in this florid way? Why not just openly state that you hate the pioneer of Biomechanical Art, HR Giger? So some of his works are ... 'challenging' to one's psyche, to say the least? Is someone holding an M-41A Pulse Rifle to your head, forcing you to look at his art/those films?! But considering the 1st sequel (and one of the rare examples of a sequel that is superior to the original), on that thought...

(*Loads up clip in M-41A Pulse Rifle; points it at David J. Stewart's face*)

...I say we grease this rat-fuck son-of-a-bitch right now! [/Hicks] >:D

Oh, and as even Ellen Ripley would tell you, the Earth is in a slightly [i]elliptical[/i] orbit around the Sun: Earth's distance from such slightly [i]varies[/i].

...but then, Dr. Buzz Aldrin could have told you that; that's basic Astronaut training 101, certainly how Astronomy relates to what someone like him would need to know in his line of work. And he's a Presbyterian Christian - yet he can easily reconcile his faith with what he knows about our Solar System: facts as he's a space scientist, Ph.D and all; and where he was on that day in 1969 gives him & his Apollo 11 comrades Neil Armstrong & Michael Collins something of a unique perspective on the matter, certainly one that nobody else has the right to question - least of all you Davey-boy.

...unless you'd like to do so, to Dr. Aldrin's face? Just ask the last person who did. He has the loose teeth to prove it.

Yes, our planet is (currently) in the Goldilocks zone. Yes, if it wasn't life probably wouldn't exist on it, and certainly not life as we know it, including humanity. That in no way suggests a creator entity, nevermind Biblegod. Doubting Thomas beat me to the puddle-an-hole reference.

AFAIK no serious scientist claims that aliens created mankind; some people just point out that if ID was actually true, aliens would make a much more plausible intelligent designer than the tribal god of an unremarkable Bronze Age semi-nomadic tribe.

And WTF would HR Gieger being a Satanist have to do with any of that, even if it was true? He's an artist, not a scientist.

Have you been taking non-sequitur pills, Davey?

Do you know how massive the universe is? It doesn't matter how unlikely it is; an infinite amount of monkeys banging on an infinite amount of keyboards for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce Hamlet sandwiched between all the garbage. With so many star systems, at least one of them, if not several, will meet all the conditions necessary to produce life.

Wasn't the Xenomorph purposefully phallus-shaped in order to make viewers feel uncomfortable? Even if it was made to look like Satan, isn't it, you know, kind of the villain?

(Edit: don't forget extremophiles, either! Archaea that live in extreme heat, ecosystems centered around vents on the ocean floor that survive without any sunlight at all...)

So intelligence can't come about by accident. What about your god's intelligence, where did that come from? You are claiming he's intelligent, right?

"We see incredible DESIGN in all of creation, which shouts loud and clear that there is a Creator"

So you call everything in nature "creation" and then point to it and insist it needs a creator?

How convenient.

Oh, by the way, what created your god?

And no special pleading...
