I believe it’s called blind faith in naturalistic processes lol.
I can relate
I'm usually 1500- 1600. But I started losing to kids at a club and online a couple years ago
I have game memory and pattern recognition going -but they have the sharp calculating mind of the young.
It got so bad i retired from competitive chess. One can only lose to freaking kids for so long before yu realize your
mind isn't elastic anymore

What is fundamentally the difference between organic and inorganic molecules?
Strictly speaking, carbon.
Carbon bonds covalently so it lends itself to forming bio molecules and more importantly, proteins. Organic or bio molecules aren’t ‘alive’ in any sense if that’s what you’re getting at.
Organic/bio molecules never, ever, arrange themselves into functional structures apart from a code or operating script. Computer programmers would recognize it as a kind of software. Moreover, joining two different bio molecules together requires an enzyme. Enzymes are a specific kind of protein and the information for their construction is found in—you guessed it, the code.
I can’t begin to tell you how this information system came into existence sans some sort of intelligent agency from outside the system. No one else can either.
But there are some here who would be happy to share their faith on the matter.

In conventional particle particle physics nothing is more fundamental that quarks and leptons - they themselves are not made up of even smaller, more fundamental particles.
It is only when one gets into string theory that all mass particles, at a fundamental level, are replaced by vibrating strings of energy which propagate through space-time. That is only a hypothesis though.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
Logically (and sadly) there will be, until we become more effective in thwarting such actions.
I am wondering how long it will be before we become forced to drastically raise the standards for when our flag will be at half mast, seeing as how we are rapidly approaching an age when it spends more time at half mast than full.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
Then we keep looking. It's not like we are anywhere close to being able to even look everywhere it might exist.
And while we are at it, we set up life in different worlds where we are able.

Hello Darth,
He was a smart guy. But he wasn't the end-all be-all of knowledge nor thought.
He does not get the final say of the age.

Hello Darth,
Non of the ancient religions even considered that there was anything beyond the known world. Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of religion indicates that stars were simply 'up there' and nothing more than unexplained points of light in the sky. And somewhere 'up there' is also the magic place where souls go after the body is exhausted. Apparently heaven has limitless capacity because souls keep getting created, but they are never destroyed.
The 'go forth and multiply' thing is an open-ended equation. There is no indication of when enough multiplication has been achieved. Thus, our planet is now over populated, and resource depletion is ongoing.

infinity is boundless in terms of time and size. We are not depleting the earth. Like most living things, it has restorative capabilities. millions of years after the last human has the last campfire, the earth will be just fine. we are a pimple on a gnat on the ass of an elephant in terms of the life of planet earth.
For clarity, I did not say that the earth is a living thing. "LIKE all living things......"

Hello Darth,
You have a problem with unanswered questions?
Why should there be any assumption that we are deserved all the answers during our brief lives before each of us perish?
We can clearly see that those whom have existed and perished before us never got all the answers.

actually they may have, we will all know some day.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
And no pondering as to why.
Why would such an entity do such a thing?
For what purpose?
Amusement?
'Oh, it's so boring here with all this power and all this nothingness. I think I'll create a universe with some special beings in one tiny speck of it and then sit back and watch what happens.'

Hello AProudLefty,
But we still do not understand all the laws of physics. Some things elude explanation.

why do you assume she hasn't populated the universe with thousands of different "special beings" on thousands of tiny specks.........if in fact we are created in his image perhaps we would have similar traits......oh wait.......scientists, artists, entrepreneurs.......
