4 is an interesting point. My curious brain often wonders over it. Frustrating as it is, you're probably right. Can you even imagine what would happen if somehow we came to really, foolproof know the answer? I imagine an absolute calamity as religion falters(assuming it wasn't a religious answer, that is), people lack will, perhaps crime and suicides rise?
- Breza 5y agoI can only speak from the Christian perspective. The only people to have their beliefs challenged would be fundamentalists, which represent a minority of Christians. The Bible says God is responsible for creating life, it doesn't give detail on how He did it. Christians have played important roles in understanding the "how" of things like the Big Bang and genetics.
- silisili 5y agoThanks for your perspective. It's an interesting question/problem. Even if I'm to accept a big bang or anything else, it just leads to more questions. Like who created the ingredients that could cause said bang, etc. I know it's often explained away by science, but it seems one could say 'well, what created those components' for infinity. So any suitable answer would have to start at the very very beginning, and in a way a layperson could understand. No assumptions, no handwavy 'it just did'. Same if it were God/a god. How did that come to be? I think OP is right in that it will never realistically happen.

- jononomo 5y agoWe have foolproof evidence that life could not possibly have arisen through random chance but apparently nothing can dislodge the narrative that it must have.
