Everything you say here does make sense, however i can think of alternate explanations as well, and you are correct I don't really know. i say however that it takes just as much "belief" and "faith" to believe in a god like being as it does to be an athiest. It's just another choice that we must make because we could spend the rest of our lives pondering the question.

perhaps it is the case that for whatever reason evolution has favored those who do believe in a god. maybe it's becuase they can more successfully get on with their lives and the more important task of reproduction

Getting back to the subject of this story though, i do believe that this is in fact life. i think the only logical next step is to have various teams of scientists come up with their own self-replicating RNA and have them fight , then we can all start placing bets on which strands will win!

The answer to your first question is yes

the second question is obvious, your communication device (you're brain/body) is broken therefore the message is screwed up

And the buck cannot stop with the brain because every action has to have a reaction (and vice versa). I'm surprised however that no-one told me this in answer to my question "Who told my brain to tell my thumbs to move? You did!" This is a valid answer but then you trace it back to what told me to tell you to tell your brain etc... you see that this eventually has to trace back to something that just happened spontaneously, however spontaneous action is not something that jives well with the laws of the physical universe, this is why i say that somewhere along the line something (if you want to call it metaphysical) but something like a god perhaps had to either make the first move (outside the laws of our universe) or is perhaps still making moves. i'm guessing the latter

IMHO nothing can either prove or disprove the existence of God, at least nothing in the physical world. If god created everything, then he must by definition not be part of it because creation is an action and in order for an action to occur there must be two things A) the thing doing the action and B) the thing being acted on.

here is something to ponder for those of you who only believe the the physical world: Close your eyes, and twiddle your thumbs, now think what told your tumbs to twiddle? your brain right? yes, but what told your brain to tell your thumbs to twiddle? this is what i would call god. i am god.

great idea, but easier said than done though

Sure i agree the U.S. (and the "western" world) has not been very nice in the past and we've given a lot of people reasons to bomb us, but even if we could all of a sudden start being really great people, you would still not be able to stop every single crazy person from wanting to bomb a plane.

And regarding a non-bombable plane, unfortunately i think a non-bombable plane would also be a non-flyable plane. And if i remember correct the terrorists on 9/11 didn't have any bombs (or at least thats what i've been told)
