Evolution fueled by random genetic mutation implies that Homo sapiens were not preordained. There is nothing about randomness I know of that suggests humans were just destined to appear in Earth's geologic time line.
The real mystery is how cellular life was kick started from inert prebiotic chemicals.
Well said. And that mystery should be examined by science in hopes of discovering the answer, rather than making the question moot by declaring 'God did it'.

While I agree homo sapiens were not preordained or destined to appear, I do believe the laws of the Universe encourage intelligence. Except for some random rocks, reptiles could have evolved into intelligent creatures.
Agreed on the mystery of how life began.
I agree that complexity and higher cognitive functions seems to have been a trajectory of evolution on Earth. Predators generally seem to need to be sentient at a high level..
Do you mean the type of intelligence neccessary to create technology and civilization are an endpoint for evolution?

Not necessarily technology. It's possible that lifeforms can develop what manipulate other lifeforms for their use such as creatures for sea travel or natural balloons for air travel.
Lots of tree huggers appreciate a more natural state of existence. Human beings existed about 300,000 years ago but only began evolving behaviorally into modern humans about 30,000 years ago.
While there's a lot to be said for such a natural state of existence, all it takes is one giant space rock or super volcano to erase the slate.
Regardless if it is machine tech or bio-tech, survival of the species is a natural progression. Intelligence is an excellent means to avoid the fate of species killed off in the five previous extinction events.
nice work
While I agree that complexity and sentience seems to be a goal of evolution, I'm not convinced that advanced technology is.
The life that seems to be evolutionarily designed to survive mass extinctions seems to be cockroaches, bugs, and microbes.

Correct but if I am wrong, nothing happens. If unbelievers are wrong……..well

Like being higher on the food chain, higher lifeforms are more costly to support. Cattle take more support than goats or chickens. If an impact event occurs, the goats and chickens are more likely to survive than cattle. Likewise, if severe enough, so will the lower lifeforms like bugs and microbes.
Still, better to avoid the situation by defending against it or expanding off-planet.
Regarding advanced tech*; I agree it's only one means of ensuring the survival of one's species.

Since you are new, FYI: IBDaMann, Into the Night and gfm7175 are the same, IMO, paranoid schizophrenic. Visit his online manifesto here to see why I think so: https://politiplex.freeforums.net/
Well...what?
What?
What happens to people unwilling to make a blind guess that a god exists?
What?
Stupid and dangerous. You being right involves everyone else being wrong, and from there, one step to mass murder, which seems to be what organized religions do best. Millions dead. Pascal's wager has always been a belief system for morons. If the shoe fits, wear it.
Eternal Damnation in the lake of fire!!!!!!!!!!!! A dance card with devil!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dogs and Cats, sleeping together. MASS HYSTERIA!!!
It's just such a dumb argument. But then most dogmatic religious arguments are dumb. If my wife comes home and tells me she is pregnant because God had sex with her, I'm not thanking my lucky stars. Joseph, the ultimate cuck.

Nah - it doesn't matter either way. Hell was an invention of the early medieval church, to fill up the pews.
The idea that there is a God who demands "belief" is completely illogical. That would be a pretty narcissistic deity - hard to imagine a timeless being having those kinds of insecure, ego issues.

Sound like Trump.
Right? Don't even THINK about looking at the image of another God. Like that jealous girlfriend that made sure you never, EVER had any fun. Making a bet with the Devil? Wiping out the first born children of Egypt; infanticide on a scale that is unimaginable? Talk about insecurity issues. OT God is the poster boy.

If you have your doubts- then you are what is referred to as an Agnostic.
It's OK, as agnostics believe that proof of a God is impossible.
If you didn't have doubts you would not be asking such questions of others!
To be a Christian, one has to have a total Blind faith in a God.
It reminds me of how humans can be so blind, can be so hypocritical, they feel they have to select such a Criminally Insane, Habitually Lying, Hypocritical, Racist, Misogynistic, Xenophobe, Adulterer, Traitor, and self-serving Autocrat and Plutocrat like Donald Trump to lead this country as president- while claiming to be such Christians!
Christians MY ASS!
More like fucking Devil Worshipers today!
