    If there is eternal life in Heaven, why doesn't God just come on the Piers Morgan show and tell us all what he expects of us to gain this immortality?

    youa re right about soft atheist. and the purpose of languge is so we have the ideaas in our heads most accurately echanged. and since athiests are not in practice denying somehting they cant possibly deny, the definitions need updating and thats what we are workin on.

    speaking of piers morgan, my obsession over the last few years is british pop culture and tv, and piers morgan is universally and overwhelmingly hated in his home country. you cant waatch one english comic or commentator speak without him taking shots at morgan for the crap he pulled before leaving for america.

    and i watched him and he is an incredible tool, how does he get a job. oh my lord cnn is shit.

    5 billion years ago an asteroid, or some object, hit earth and the evolution process began. That object came from somewhere, so there is a pretty good chance that more of it was scattered throughout the universe. Scientist estimate that there are billions of planets in the universe. If only .01% of those planets are in the habitable zone, its very likely that there is life elsewhere in the galaxy then? NASA must think so also since they pour billions of dollars into searching for traces of life elsewhere. So based this assumption, do atheists believe in life on other planets? Or do they think our planet harbors the only intelligent life in the universe?

    What you are describing is a dumb persons way of talking about the Drake equation.

    I have no idea really about Intelligent life. If I had a gun to my head and had to guess I would flip a coin.

    When you say it is "very likely", you are basing that on nothing.

    If there is life on other planets, we have already learned from our discussions here that Jesus died for their sins as well.

    I don't need to have proof, but I do know the answer.

    He could if he wanted to...but there would be no need for Faith.

    They wanted someone more edgy than Larry King who threw only softballs at his guests. Morgan came from a tabloid background and is just not very good. I don't think he will last.
