It seems to me that if there were any robustness to the theory of evolution, Mars and Venus should be teeming with life. Probably the gas giants, too, and most of their larger moons.

There's a species of bedbug (Xylocaris maculipennis) that stab-rapes other males. A male of this species may be assaulted by another male while he is copulating (doing it) with a female. The rapist's sperm is injected into the recipient. The sperm migrates into his blood to his testes where it is then pumped out of the poor raped bedbug's penis into the female. A backstabbing gay rapist bedbug! Who would have thought of that? God? Now that is an intelligent design!

I won't be convinced until we get a look at the other 100,000,000,000 planets.

holy shit. based on the fact that there are tiny bugs raping eachother, i hereby renounce my belief in god(note my further conversion to a lower case spelling of the now-renounced deity) and all things spiritual. I will now become a cynical, hate filled son of a bitch just like the rest of you. wow, i feel so good now. now i too can go look up further information to support my lack of belief... because of course, if i believe nothing, i need to be able to back it up with proof of the nothingness!!! screw all you believers. you're the MAN... you're bringing me down! rapist bedbug stabbing homos have made me turn off the light. i will now spend mass amounts of time making witty bumper stickers and silly spaghetti monsters to support my new view... which is not actually a view... because well... there is nothing here to see!!!!!! NOTHING!!! STOP LOOKING!!! Skepticism is realism... MAYBE!

That's hasty - to assume that non-believers are cynical and hate-filled. Maybe they're actually having a good time.

sorry babe... i should have worded that:

i will now become as cynical and hate filled about religion as you sorry sons o bitches... sorry. my bad generalization of atheists.

I know there are a FEW atheists who have fun and are genuinely fine human beings... until somebody mentions the thing atheists don't believe in... then THEY turn into zealous (damnit... need to rid this pseudo-religious term from my vocabulary), sarcastic, closed minded bigots just like the idiot religious people they despise.

further, if you were offended about my generalizations of atheists, consider your own generalizations about believers. we're all big hypocrites if you ask me.

I'm a creature full of love and laughter. I just play a hate filled SOB on the internet.

Won't be convinced of what? Evolution? Either way, no need to look far, in fact, forget the planets, take Europa and Titan. What rich environments for the possibility of life: liquid water, complex molecules, good tidal forces. Maybe there is life there and we haven't discovered it. Odd, though, if Darwin was right about life scratching and clawing and speciating it's way to the top that those moons aren't a virtual zoo.
