I wish that I had the opportunity to undertake such painstaking research.<br /><br />We occupy a blink in the space/time of our present universe and it is true to say that, had conditions been even slightly different within our galaxy/solar system, what we are experiencing now would not have existed, but that does not mean that the same conditions would not have existed elsewhere, for example, in those nearby solar systems that we can observe that do not have the 'Goldilocks' conditions.<br /><br />Also, perhaps it is possible that our current universe, evidently in the process of expansion, will, ultimately, contract to the singularity from which it was created and the whole process will start all over again. Perhaps that has already happened, perhaps an infinite number of times and, perhaps, life (as we know it, Jim) has been and gone infinite times and will do so infinite times more.<br /><br />Religion is not equipped to answer these questions, science is. Who knows, one day, maybe it will.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007548112627280556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028643425691313983.post-79326362281210095682012-02-20T15:28:12.485+00:002012-02-20T15:28:12.485+00:00Glad you enjoyed StopS.
