At least we have physical evidence as a base for these hypotheses. The fact that humans sit around and talk about stuff like this, wasting time, not physically exploring space, should be insulting. We only have a few billion years of life-giving sunlight left, before the sun starts burning helium and grows so large and hot that the earth will be devoured by it. We need to start looking for new places to colonize, or we'll end up like the dinosaurs. Deities are the most insidious inventions in history.
Everything in your body was created when a star went supernova, making elements like calcium in your bones. That supernova hurled these elements into space. Eventually these elements would coalesce back into what currently is our solar system. You wouldn't be here debating on this subject if a gigantic star didn't explode. To go one further, we wouldn't be here if a Mars sized planet didn't slam into proto-earth 4.5 billion years ago, creating our moon (which keeps our planet stable on its axis).
I agree with this guy. I am an atheist by definition, but god can be whatever you want it to be, no matter what you believe in. I like to think of everything in existence as energy. I'm no scientist, but the way I understand it is, everything that exists can be broken down into base molecules. Molecules can have their chemical bonds broken, releasing energy. Even the atoms that are contained in those molecules can be split or fused (think stars), releasing energy.
