how small we really are

[Damocles]

Things can be marvelous and complex without being handled by a God. The marvel for me at least is in how they have evolved to work in such a way over billions of years

totally agree 100%

you know i wasn't implying your good self?

To be fair though, this thread didn't make it past the first page without religion being ridiculed - with no provocation whatsoever.

This isn't true at all.

The thread didn't make it past the first page without the idea that in the majesty of creation and the infinitesimal size of it all, the Lord and saviour of humanity might give a shit that young men are having a wank.

But I suppose you can find offense anywhere if you look hard enough

Religion is made to be ridiculed...because of the absurdity of it.

It was just a joke about the human projections onto a Creator God and how silly that concept is George, nothing to be upset about in my opinion. I thought you'd find it pretty funny myself to be honest.

No matter friend, we're all just happy to be here. Bouncing about randomly through infinity. All this marvellous, intelligent complexity is just a co-incidence, no divine agenda at all.

i see what you did there,

that shit is cray cray

Damo, I respect your posts pal, but if you ever, ever say that again I'll lose all respect for you as a man, as a scientist, and as a blue.

like this one Damo posted on page 1 but with notes - watch out for 'total human height'

and this electron microscope image too

YOU (AND EVERY LIVING THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN) ARE HERE

That's a DNA replication fork, the actual point at which the genetic instructions for building everything alive are split and copied to do exactly that.

If you took all the world's population and dumped them into the Grand Canyon they wouldn't fill a fraction of it. In fact the 7.2 billion people would only form a comparatively tiny pile...

Apparently, even all of humanity throughout history, across all the ages - estimated to be 106 billion - would only be enough to make fifteen piles across the Grand Canyon and not sufficient to cover its entirety
