Creation VS Evolution

That argument I feel is wrong. I like it, but I can never abide by it. Trying to justify the potential for life in other worlds by using the scope of the universe, observable or otherwise, I feel is self-discrediting. The size of the universe allows for life to be found everywhere where it can be sustained. Hell there are still places on earth where scientists find bacteria that are surviving and thriving in environments once thought incapable of sustaining any life.
But for intelligence, that is a whole 'nother kettle of fish.


Stare into the abyss long enough, and it stares back into you.

The vastness of space was not the basis of the deduction, the following sentence shows the basis of my deduction. The vastness of space brings endless possibilities which result in the variety that would be throughout space. It's exactly taking a cup of the ocean and saying there is no life, intelligent or otherwise in it.

I mean when you have planets with frozen fire does an intelligent being seem out of the question? lol

really, now? How much Neon would you say is in the human body? How much Helium?

Yeah we're so unique because we lack two of the top 10 elements found in our galaxy, let alone universe. I mean come on really?




1. Oxygen

Warwick Hillier, Australia National University, Canberra
By mass, oxygen is the most abundant element in the human body. If you think about it, this makes sense, since most of the body consists of water or H2O. Oxygen accounts for 61-65% of the mass of the human body. Even though there are many more atoms of hydrogen in your body than oxygen, each oxygen atom is 16 times more massive than a hydrogen atom.

Uses

Oxygen is used for cellular respiration.


2. Carbon

U.S. Geological Survey
All living organisms contain carbon, which forms the basis for all of the organic molecules in the body. Carbon is the second most abundant element in the human body, accounting for 18% of body weight.

Uses

All organic molecules (fats, proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids) contain carbon. Carbon also is found as carbon dioxide or CO2. You inhale air that contains about 20% oxygen. Air you exhale contains much less oxygen, but is rich in carbon dioxide.


3. Hydrogen

Hydrogen accounts for 10% of the mass of the human body.

Uses

Since around 60% of your body weight is water, much of the hydrogen exists in water, which functions to transport nutrients, remove wastes, lubricate organs and joints, and regulate body temperature. Hydrogen is also important in energy production and use. The H+ ion can be used as a hydrogen ion or proton pump to produce ATP and regulate numerous chemical reactions. All organic molecules contain hydrogen in addition to carbon.


4. Nitrogen

Cory Doctorow
Approximately 3% of the mass of the human body is nitrogen.

Uses

Proteins, nucleic acids, and other organic molecules contain nitrogen. Nitrogen gas is found in the lungs, since the primary gas in air is nitrogen.


5. Calcium

Calcium accounts for 1.5% of human body weight.

Uses

Calcium is used to give the skeletal system its rigidity and strength. Calcium is found in bones and teeth. The Ca2+ ion is important for muscle function.


6. Phosphorus

About 1.2% to 1.5% of your body consists of phosphorus.

Uses

Phosphorus is important for bone structure and is part of the primary energy molecule in the body, ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Most of the phosphorus in the body is in the bones and teeth.


7. Potassium

Potassium makes up 0.2% to 0.35% of the adult human body.

Uses

Potassium is an important mineral in all cells. It functions as an electrolyte and is particularly important for conducting electrical impulses and for muscle contraction.


8. Sulfur

Ben Mills
Sulfur's abundance is 0.20% to 0.25% in the human body.

Uses

Sulfur is an important component of amino acids and proteins. It's present in keratin, which forms skin, hair, and nails. It's also needed for cellular respiration, allowing cells to use oxygen.


9. Sodium

Dnn87, Creative Commons License
Approximately 0.10% to 0.15% of your body mass is the element sodium.

Uses

Sodium is an important electrolyte in the body. It is an important component of cellular fluids and is needed for the transmission of nerve impulses. It helps regulate fluid volume, temperature, and blood pressure.


10. Magnesium

Warut Roonguthai
The metal magnesium comprises about 0.05% of human body weight.

Uses

About half of the body's magnesium is found in the bones. Magnesium is important for numerous biochemical reactions. It helps regulate heart beat, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. It is used in protein synthesis and metabolism. It is needed to support proper immune system, muscle, and nerve function.
