To me Tm, this is confirmation of the Bible's truths.

How, 5000 or so years ago, did the writers of the Bible KNOW that life could come from Dust? We are told, that the Human bodies are made from Dust and will return to dust upon death!

'Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return' (Genesis 3:19)

It has always exsisted.

Why is it easy for you to accept God has always exsisted when you have no proof he ever did yet you have full evidence space exsists?

not possible......

what makes you think i belive there is a god?

[manu1959]

I would think it was pretty plain to man he turned to dust after death.

It would then be very easy to think "Hey we must be made from dust"

Plants grow from the earth we eat the plant the plant becomes us and then we die and become dust and the plant grows from us.

Its a cycle which religions like the pangan religion recognised before christianity exsisted.

Let me remind you christains killed people who did not agree with them.

All religions have history of doing so.

I would love to see a world where no one was killed or harmed for what they choose to believe about these things.

so we are canibals? ..... anyway....how did the dust get into outerspace to become living things then back to earth to become humans....

let me remind you non qhristians killed people who did not agree with them....

all non-religious groups have a history of doing so.....

there will never be a world like that.....the dust just gets angry sometimes....

I guess I assumed by you sig that you did believe in God.

The thing about this Camus quote is he assumes that not believig in god equates to doing things to harm your fellow man.

I have always found many reasons not to harm but to help my fellow man without believing in god.

I am kind not out of fear but out of knowledge.

you should read some of camus work.....it would become clear to you....or maybe not.....

do you belive in a god?....do you believe there is nothing to learn or nothing of use in religious writings?

[manu1959]

who are these non religious groups who have killed people?

"so we are cannibals? ..... anyway....how did the dust get into outer space to become living things then back to earth to become humans...."

Are you not aware of how the solar system was formed?

vlad the impaler, atila the hun....and more recently, the russians the chinese....http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/dictat.html

i am aware of a variety of therories....to which do you ascribe?

Dust ‘comes alive’ in spaceRobert Booth
SCIENTISTS have discovered that inorganic material can take on the characteristics of living organisms in space, a development that could transform views of alien life.

An international panel from the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Max Planck institute in Germany and the University of Sydney found that galactic dust could form spontaneously into helixes and double helixes and that the inorganic creations had memory and the power to reproduce themselves.

The story mentions that the dust is in the plasma state, which can take on numerous densities, temperatures, durations, etc. It would be a pretty far stretch to think that life spontaneously formed in a plasma state and somehow got itself into solid state.

and religious groups haven't. You need to read up on your history man. All groups with they have a set ideology and will not tolerate anyone thinking different turn to killing and justify it with their relgious/social texts.

farfetched sure, but no more than any other ideas on how we got here and what life may be out there.

[5stringJeff]

The findings have provoked speculation that the helix could be a common structure that underpins all life, organic and nonorganic.

did you miss this part?

I saw it. I'm saying that just because a helix can spontaneously formi in the plasma state, it doesn't necessarily follow that it could happen in the solid state.
