Which of the science minded folks here are taking scientific theories as "absolute certainties"?
Uhh.. you for one.
Claiming evolution can create eyes.

I agree .. eyes can evolve, but the concept doesn't .Uhh.. you for one.
Claiming evolution can create eyes.

..so all that we see has happened, just "because" .. just because it can?I accept the explanation provided by evolution as it is the best evidenced one..
..so all that we see has happened, just "because" .. just because it can?
A poor explanation of why we have eyes, imo.
..but "life" only has these properties "because it does", according to you.Not "just because".
Because of the properties life has..
It is Almighty God who is responsible for all we see.Life evolves because it reproduces with variation and is in competition with peers over limited resources in an ever changing environment.

There could be no evolution in a "void".
There would be nothing to observe.
Of course we do .. but you say that eyes evolved, due to the universe being as it is [ "properties of life"]We don't exist in a void. We exist in a universe filled with interacting stuff..
Please justify your claim that there has to be a reason for stuff in general to exist or to have properties. Only if it can be shown that stuff in general can completely cease to exist and loose any and all properties, would we need a reason for stuff in general to exist and to have properties.Of course we do .. but you say that eyes evolved, due to the universe being as it is [ "properties of life"]
Can't you see that it is a circular argument? .. "life as it is" cannot evolve without reason.
That's what scientists do .. they look for reasons.
..and many atheists who fancy themselves as scientists, just answer "evolution" tor questions that they can't answer.
i.e. can't explain in terms of atoms and equations etc.

I don't think so: "evolution" cannot be the answer to things we can't explain in any other way.
Naturally, evolution occurs .. it is a well-accepted fact, and can be proved to be true.
..yet claiming evolution is the reason for ALL is deceitful and NOT a fact.
Let us assume that there are X number of different self-consistent ways in which the universe can be be conceived to have existed. The universe, necessarily, will exist in one and only one of these possible ways. Since every one of these ways are logically possible, there is no further fact of the matter that can possibly exist that determine which one will be actualized in an existant universe. So no explanation is needed for your why question.Is it possible for scientific observation to have all the answers to "why the universe behaves as it does"?

Maybe not for you, but for me, it makes no sense that life as we know it just came about by accident...no explanation is needed for your why question..
Did you understand what I was trying to say? I showed that it is logically impossible for any reason for existence to exist. So what you want cannot be had.Maybe not for you, but for me, it makes no sense that life as we know it just came about by accident.
Saying that it is no accident, and evolution is responsible is not a valid answer .. because evolution does not apply, unless there is something to evolve in the first place.
One can reckon they've proved something by playing with words..I showed that it is logically impossible for any reason for existence to exist..
Why does existence require a reason?One can reckon they've proved something by playing with words..
If there IS no reason, then we shouldn't be here.
