Sweet. Name who you think exhibits the knowledge and maturity of having a PhD. Take your time. I’ll wait.
I never said there was anyone. I just said it seems unlikely that there is.
See? This is why you might have some issues with "agnosticism".

A 100 million years here, a 100 million years there and pretty soon you’re talking some real time.

Soooo….you can’t think of a single person who exhibits the maturity and education of a PhD. Good. Me neither.
I don’t have problems with agnosticism. Why do you think I do, Jank?
Time until Jank runs from the question: 10…9…8…

Because I agreed that there was likely no one with a PhD and you automatically assumed that I could name one.
This information was not posted for those with life interests revolving around beer, porn, and narcotics.
Star Trek decieved us into thinking the galaxy is pregnant with intelligent life. I would be gratified just to find evidence of primitive alien life.

no.....there are three in Genesis and a fourth in Job.........four different genres.....

the first, Genesis 1:1 is written in Hebrew imperative.....it is a commandment. The second, is Hebrew poetry. The third is narrative. It is not surprising that they communicate things differently.
"the British are coming!", Longfellow's the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and an historical treatise all say different things about the same night in American history......is that because we can't make up our minds about Paul Revere?.......

Geologists tend to think of time rather differently than you and I. I would get Cypress to give the geologist's perspective but he's still really angry with me. (Can't say I blame him. I did question God quite a bit, or at least the problematic theology of the Old Testament).

I had not heard about the 3rd and Fourth. Can you point to the actual verses?
A blind guess is the discredited KRAKEN conspiracy theory.
LUCA is a solid scientific inference based on three decades of phylogenetic analysis.

Planets with atmospheres of hydrogen sulfide, methane, and carbon dioxide with only microbes for life would make for a boring TV show.
That said, it appears that the key factor here, given there is life, is time. Since we only have one example to go by, it’s difficult to judge, but the example we have indicates that all life evolves towards higher forms. This fits with the Red Queen hypothesis since the first rule of evolution is survival.

No, delete sometimes doesn't work.
And I have only one account. I believe it is YOU who many feel have multiple accounts. I am supposedly one of your socks! And I occasionally respond to you so that others will be fooled into thinking we are two different people.
Or not.
You pick.

It fascinates me what your threshold for "violence" is. But it's understandable if you are an evangelical and you see any atheism as a violence against you and your faith.
I don't mean your faith any harm.
