As I said before, the desire to believe is no match for the ability to reason. A declaration of absolute truth on the nature of the Universe is in no way influenced by personal emotion or feeling. You may feel sickened when you see pictures of starving children in flooded Pakistan; but your...
Please explain how leaving chemicals in controlled conditions and not doing anything remotely intelligent to affect them and their polymerization into complex molecules screams 'intelligent design'. It screams 'formation without recourse to Goddunnit'.

Earthquakes are not caused by movements between the layers of continents; they are caused by the movements OF CONTINENTS. There are no 'layers' of continents in relation to earthquakes. Plate, continental, movement, is the crux of tectonics and earthquakes. If the continents are moving, then...

Perhaps not at the moment, but in the long term, there is simply no alternative. We master space travel and terraforming or we die. The Earth will be swallowed up by an expanding Sun in a few billion years, and unless humanity has moved on, we also will be swallowed up.
