Christmas Lottery
Im just showing you guys why i dont believe in atheism, its impossible for something to start from absolutely nothing. There has to be a God.
Funny how you start discussing something that has yet to be brought up in this thread.
It's not about atheism at all, it's about "How it would be if the meteor hadn't crashed".

This thread is quite dead anyways, should've been closed some while ago...

dunno how many times ive had to say this, but:
its largely accepted that evolution is legit, the Catholic/Christian doctrine dictates that the book of Genesis is a book written by the forefathers of the church that expresses the power of God, and is not strictly speaking a book based entirely on fact.

So it stands to reason that God didnt create us as we are now. we evolved.
As Christians, we believe that we evolved under Gods guidance, not that Adam and Eve were suddenly popped into existance.

but this isnt a theological debate about Religion vs Atheism.
so:

Yeah, i do believe we change over time, but i just don't believe we suddenly popped into existence but that God created us..

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS.
I would personally have a Velociraptor, as my guardian in my home. And it would be, badassery.

No, your constantly bringing up racism/religion... Two of the most heated conversations, as well as politics. You can't talk about either of the three without a confrontation erupting.

Back on topic:
If the meteor hadn't have come,
I'm going to assume unimaginable things would happen, but if we could have grew our culture at the same rate, most of the dinosaurs would be in our local petting zoo, IDK, if dinosaurs could possibly be domesticated. But, if so, that would be my top priority in life.
Yes, my top priority in life would be to go to the petting zoo, and pet a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex.
I don't think we would exist compared to the bad assery that animals used to be. Right now, we have pansy ass animals that used to be really fucking cool, such as Giraffes. They used to have huge antlers for maiming and goring the other giraffes, but now look at them, they just have mini nubs. Now all they can do is swing there heads at high speed without the antlers.

We wouldn't have enough time to properly create a society because we would be in danger a hell of a lot more than we were 2000-10,000 years ago.

Oh yeah, by the way. The meteor striking wasn't a singular event. It was the meteorite, sea levels raising, Earthquakes, super volcanoes,and a massive dust storm after the initial hit and then followed by an Ice Age.

Any large land animal during the ravenous Earth would most likely not survive because of their calorie count is way to high to be efficient

Kingben: God pretty much came from no where and he's sentient and omniscient. Hur. That sounds highly unlikely compared to non thinking elements and that poofed into existence and started to bond with each other because the way Nature is through out every universe.

It all has a set of rules that everything within it has to follow, but those laws could be bent, but to you I guess it's breaking gods rules. Is it not?

I understand God, but I think I percieve god differently and not a thinking being swaying our lives, sometimes killing us or sometimes favoring others. I see it as an omniscient non thinking law and just because it simply is, it needs not to think, but pushes time and everything else in the order it's supposed be to be and everything that happens within this universe is inherent and not given to us because we are blessed or something.

Life isn't a privaledge. It's the inherence of life.

One cannot say that for sure. It may be that mammals were only able to evolve like they did because the dinosaurs were whiped out. They probably would have evolved differently with dinosaurs around.
Ofc, it's possible that humans would still come around if dinosaurs weren't whiped out, but who are we to say either way? This is simply speculation and "what ifs."
