Maybe. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces+kimharch=cut.net@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces+kimharch=cut.net@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Olhomorto@aol.com Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 8:04 PM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Are we human because we gazeatthestars?(MostlyOT) Yes, those points sound reasonable. But on the other hand, consider the number of stars we currently estimate exist in the "known" universe. Isn't the number some incomprehensible (at least to me) number like 70 sextillion or something? They aren't all observable, or at least they weren't 20 years ago, and yet science still pursues extending its reach. Maybe that's an argument for the Intelligent Designer creating things "for us" that we can't see, but I don't think so because as commented earlier, their is a limit. Personally, I think it's more of an argument in favor of the Intelligent Designer creating other intelligent life throughout the universe. In other words, what may not be seen by us is still seen by others? ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned by Cut.Net Managed Email Content Service, using Skeptic(tm) technology powered by MessageLabs.
