You stated 'The Earth's atmosphe...Michael,<br /><br />You stated 'The Earth's atmosphere is fine-tuned to create a sustainable ecosystem. If any of the elements were thrown even the slightest out of whack, it could have catastrophic effects on all life'.<br /><br />Atmospheric CO2 levels have increased 40% over preindustrial levels. Greenhouse gases make life as we know it possible on Earth. Without greenhouse gases, the Earth's temperature would be minus 18 degrees Celsius. Greenhouse gases cause 33 degrees of warming, initially from CO2, because there wouldn't be any water vapour or methane at such frigid temperatures - CO2 leads to a positive feedback, increasing its warming effect.<br /><br />Why wouldn't humans' adding CO2 to the atmosphere not disturb the fine tuning you're claiming for the Earth's atmosphere?<br /><br />Also - if God created the Universe, then where was he standing when he did so? He can't have been standing in the Universe he's creating. He must have been outside the time and space of this Universe. What do you call it? I call it the Multiverse.<br /><br />And logically, the Multiverse without a god is more probable than the Multiverse with a god (it can't be less probable)bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-55240207197389783192014-05-21T07:51:40.458-04:002014-05-21T07:51:40.458-04:00Again, man-made CO2 is infinitesimal, like droppin...Again, man-made CO2 is infinitesimal, like dropping one marble in a huge pile of marbles, or adding one tiny bubble in a large tank of water.<br /><br />The multiverse is an atheist delusion.<br /><br />God is present everywhere except for Hell and Purgatory.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-23599294489153414442014-05-20T08:39:42.246-04:002014-05-20T08:39:42.246-04:00Michael,
How exactly does your belief that humans...Michael,<br /><br />How exactly does your belief that humans increasing the atmospheric CO2 by a massive 40% not contradict your statement that the atmosphere is fine tuned so that if any of the elements were thrown even slightly out of whack it could have catastrophic effects on all life?<br /><br />You need to respond to all the comment, not just the part you think you'll be able to get away with.<br /><br />Anyway. Without greenhouse gases, according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, the average global temperature would be minus 18 degrees Celsius, at which point there'd be no water vapor in the air.<br /><br />CO2 allows the Earth to retain heat causing warming, which allows the air to contain water vapor. Increasing CO2 levels causes further warming and hence increased water vapor. It's a positive feedback loop.<br /><br />Where do you think God is? If he exists. God is supposed to exist outside the time and space of this Universe - which is where the Multiverse is supposed to exist too.<br /><br />The probability of the Multiverse existing is greater than the probability of the Multiverse containing God existing. It's simple logic - adding elements to a class makes it less likely. It can't make it more likely.<br /><br />A simple example - islands are more common (probable) than Island with monkeys. Islands with monkeys can't be more probable than Islands in general, with or without monkeys.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-30200706745837569752014-05-20T08:04:49.547-04:002014-05-20T08:04:49.547-04:00"This coming from a character who believes th..."This coming from a character who believes that increasing atmospheric CO2 levels by around 40% from preindustrial levels doesn't have any effects on global temperatures.

There's no credible evidence for a multiverse.<br /><br />Evolution (i.e. speciation through beneficial mutation) cannot be tested, observed or reproduced; therefore, it's not science. That's just all there is to it.<br /><br />There is no such thing as "star formation." God made them as they are whereas scientists can only make up just-so stories about how gaseous clouds free-floating through space managed to formulate solar systems of their own accord, which contradicts logic.<br /><br />Neither you nor I know how the universe came into existence, but there's nothing remotely scientific about claiming that it just appeared of its own accord. No way, no how.<br /><br />The universe operates on fundamental laws necessary to sustain itself, such as electromagnetic, quantum, thermodynamic, chemical, and other constants with precision. There is a regularity to the formation of galaxies in that they are of specific, identifiable shape: elliptical, spiral or irregular. Further, the earth's atmosphere is fine-tuned to create a sustainable ecosystem. If any of the various elements were thrown even the slightest out of whack, it could have catastrophic effect upon all life. Of course, a skeptic (such as yourself) will dismiss all of this as tomfoolery because you refuse to believe in God, but so be it.

Space 'exploded' undergoing rapid expansion.<br /><br />And how do you know that the physical laws and constants were configured to exact specifications?
