Did Planet Earth Come About by Chance?: Precursor For Human Existence | Dr. Ali Ataie
Jump to Connections
7,255 Views โ€ข Sep 6, 2024 โ€ข Click to toggle off description
Dr. Ali Ataie gives spiritual insights about the New Atheism movement (particularly Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris, and Dennett) that has led many believers, including Muslims, to begin to question the existence of God.

More Dr. Ataie: mcceastbay.org/ali-ataie

Ustadh Dr. Ali Ataie explores three classical arguments for the existence of God from a Muslim perspective as well as an analysis of the claims of the New Atheists.

Dr. Ataie examines the question from three lenses:

1. Moral Argument: Petitio principii. One must first prove that morality is objective and absolute, for this argument to be valid.
2. Kalam Cosmological Argument: Again, petitio principii. Nowhere outside of theology is the premise "Everything that begins to exist has a cause" found or accepted to be true.
3. Teleological Argument: Argument from analogy

This talk was held at the SBIA Masjid Al-Mustafa in San Jose on October 24, 2014. It was delivered via the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California.

Misconception is that if the sun was a "little" closer or further away we'd not have life.
We'd not have the life we have, but we move near a million miles distance between soltices. I've heard maybe we could go another million miles and barely notice but I think still that is a fine line

If the probability of getting a planet with Earth-like conditions was one in a trillion, given the sheer size of the universe, there would still be millions of Earth-like planets scattered across the observable universe. This "goldilocks argument" might have had some sway before Hubble showed us how expansive the cosmos really are, but today it's just unconvincing.

We don't know the general conditions required for life. We know the conditions required for our particular strand of life, but we have no reason to suppose that our developmental pathway is the only one. Life on other planets might run on completely different chemistry, and may require a completely different set of conditions. As shown recently, liquid water can exist outside the habitable zone, in subsurface environments. Potentially, this means life could survive in these subsurface caves etc.

Our ecology is not tailored for our flourishing, rather we adapt to our ecology via natural selection to thrive within it. Imagine you have a population of foxes that live in a forest. Over time, the climate of the forest changes, average temperatures drop, creating a snowy environment. In this ecology, foxes with lighter fur, that can camouflage with their surroundings, are more successful in hunting prey. Subsequently, over several generations, lighter fur is selected for. Enough time passes and now all the foxes in the forest have white fur. Somebody comes along, observing this situation without all the facts, and concludes that the foxes' environment must have been designed to facilitate their flourishing. Obviously, this person has got cause and effect backwards.

If you look around the Universe, you will find trillions of planets. It's no surprise that you will find some in the so-called Goldilocks Zone.

It just would be different but it would still exist

One cannot say that there would be no life. If life is an emergent property of the environment, which evolution demonstrates. Then life could arise that would be suited to that environment.

The watchmaker argument fails simply due to comparison, I can compare a watch to something unmade. Show me an unmade universe.

Also, If the universe and the watch are both made, they are indistinguishable. Thus making the caparison moot again.

This is all wrong. These variables HAVE changed many times since life began and we are still here!

I don't think you understand just how big the Universe is. We already know about several other planets capable of having and sustaining life. Yes, it's by chance ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hi
Earth a flat plane with firmament covering within which the sun moon and stars rotate above AS OUR CALENDAR! Earth moving WOULD CAUSE INSTANT PARALLAX DESTROYING THE CONSTELLATIONS WHICH NEVER CHANGE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT MOVING!

Our solar system consisted of Saturn our "star", Earth and Mars. Until one day Sol ran into us, knocking a chunk out of Saturn which convalesced spinning backwards becoming Venus. That was actually recorded during the time of Man.
