Get your head around this.
The Milky Way contains 100 billion Earth-like planets, and there’s somewhere in the region of 500 billion galaxies, then there’s an extremely high chance of other planets harboring life.
There are roughly 500 billion galaxies in the universe, meaning there is somewhere in the region of
50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (5×1022) habitable planets.
That's
50 sextillion
AND THEN....
there are over 4,000
religions here on Earth.
The way I think about all of this....
If we were studying earth as some sort of microbe ( i.e.
One of the 50 sextillion)...
and saw that there was life on that microbe....
and THEN....
saw that
one of
4,000 + religions on that microbe , thought that they had all the answers to the creation of everything...and put it all down to THEIR God.....
We'd P#SS ourselves laughing at them.
But here on that microbe...there are people killing other people in the name of their God.
It does my head in .
Just some food for thought.
I think it must get harder and harder for the people with all those beliefs to keep ignoring all that science has shown us in the last 50 years.
I'm way cool with
any religion if it does all the "good" stuff...
you know...the common sense stuff...
like being kind and thoughtful to others...and be as tolerant as we can etc....but when it's the reason to destroy everyone who doesn't agree with THEIR beliefs....
That's insane.
Have a nice day.
I'm like Mike....as long as that "belief" doesn't get rammed down my neck....
I'm fine with it.
Warren.
