Not an atheist, have a question.

I'll get straight to the point.

If nothing keeps something from happening can it not happen?

If I let go of something in my hand, a pen lets say.. and there is absolutely nothing keeping it from falling to the ground, can it not fall? if yes Plz explain.

I'll keep going on the bases that the answer is "No"


The universe had a start, it took quite some time for earth to form and for life to exist... that -to me- does not make any sense at all..! Why wait?

Why did life not exist the way we know it here and now immediately after the big bang?Or why doesn't life exist as we know it here and now on the moon? mars? Why is there no intelligent life swimming in lava?

Most say: the right conditions are not met in all time and space for life to exist, yet this very strict and complicated conditions existed here on earth not so long ago.... it just confuses me more and more... conditions?????

When I let my imaginations run wild, some times I picture -like in some sci-fi novels- a very advanced intelligent marine sort of life deep down in the sea where no man have seen, we can never rule out its existence yes?

Lets say it does exist, one thing we know for sure is that they don't know about us as well, or they would have made contact. Their idea about the universe and all that is around would be so different than us, to them life does not exist outside the ocean! Why? cuz the conditions for "life" are not met outside the ocean, but they are wrong and we do exist, and we are very noticeable.

Now, how come there is no kind of "life" that has so different conditions than ours exist on the moon? an intelligent life that requires no H2o for instance, one which we can see very easily.

If I take a fish on dry land it would die very quickly, same would happen to me if sunk down the ocean without any O2. You see life has found a way to make many different beings who have "somewhat" different conditions of life here, yet it failed so miserably when you go a tiny TINY bit outside this TINY TINY rock we live on/in.

Why did one kind of life ONLY ONE! which share the same kind of conditions form on earth? you can find life on needle head but you can not find it swimming in an ocean of lava? Why is there no immortal living thing?

What kept all these "lifes" from happening? why did the pen fell only one time?

BTW English is not my 1st language, thank you.

Life did not start immediately after the BB because there was only hydrogen and helium for billions of years.

It took billions of stars going supernova before heavier elements were available to create planets and life.

Didn't read too much of the remainder of your post, but I detected a bit of argument from ignorance. Seems you are saying, "I can't think of another way to explain this, a god must be responsible for life".

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
